What do you think of Trump's presidency so far?

[Clownfish]

For those who want to get wall street and like out of DC, one to figure out the cause.

The cause is the left right dictomony. It's used to manipulate the voters into voting against their self interest out of fear of the "other side". Wall Street owns both parties so it doesn't matter who you vote for within this left right claptrap trap. Change the dictomony and that will cause voter behavior to change which would force change.

 

[Fulda's Gap]

"Poor Leader" is a bit too vague a term for me.

His positions on domestic and especially foreign policies are bad. His behavior would be embarrassing for a 16 year old, let alone someone in their 70s.

I don't understand what is so hard to grasp about that.

Truth. Lose the "loyalty" to a supposed wing.

I don't see that ever happening in America, the whole system is set up to be a Football game between two lifelong rivals like the Superbowl. You could set up some sort of multi party system like a European country, but globalism and social justice policies causing African and Middle Eastern immigration has screwed them up anyway. So there is no perfect system.

I just want my wall already. Give me my god damn wall and a catapult Trump, that's all I asked of you.

 

[Roast Chicken]

He's a loudmouth oaf who needs to stay off Twitter and probably sucked a lot of Russian cock to get into the Whitehouse. I would say "at least he speaks his mind" but he's a politician. At least he's good with money?

Oh come on, these people need something to tweet about in between Game of Thrones seasons. They'd be lost otherwise.

It's been said that the test of a man's courage is how performs in the face of danger. Well, in the next half hour, you're gonna meet a very unique breed of cat. The kind of man who doesn't know the meaning of the word fear. Donald Trump, part-time President, full-time Internet Troll. A man willing to risk his life for the sake of adventure. He has to chase it, confront it, and whip it. Donald Trump, Danger Seeker!

I am absolutely, indescribably ecstatic that the tax reform bill is going to pass. I'd say a solid 45-60% of my motivation to support and vote for Trump last year was the promise of the tax reform package. It took longer than I expected, but I'm extremely glad that it will be taking effect in time for the upcoming tax season. In fact, I'm so pleased that as far as I'm concerned, Trump has already earned my 2020 vote, no questions asked.

I don't enormously care if the wall gets built, or if Obamacare gets repealed and replaced, or if all the Mexicans get deported or the homogays sent to the camps. All I desperately wanted was the tax reform package, and the Donald delivered!
Thanks, Mr. Trump!

If the tax reform helps small businesses the proper way, I'm all for it. Small businesses are an important center for the balance scale that is the US economy and they shouldn't be ruined like they did under Obama. Fuck my ass, that was garbage. Government loans given to almost all Chinese, they came, they failed, they went back home, just to join the luxury of american businesses back in China. All the while, regulations and Obamacare prevent people from even having employees without instantly dropping into the red, forcing anyone who wasn't a major corporation to stick under the 50 employee cap. Wonderful.

I can agree, the tax reform is much bigger than getting rid of Obamacare, because Obamacare will kill itself off in due time. The wall will be built, since they're already with the budget fixed and started the prototypes to do so. What I don't care about is Mexico paying for the wall. I'd rather have the US protect its citizens and reduce government hand-outs, as well as the dreamers and anchor baby nonsense, than wait for a 3rd world country like dead ass Mexico pay for something they caused.

@Scratch This Nut What is it about the tax reform you don't agree with? Not to call you out on it, but I am interested in seeing your side of the situation.

 

[Medicated]

I think the current pardons Trump has given out weren't things I'd agree with. Problem is I never know if I'm getting the full story with these things.

I think that this is now entering the realm of the iffy. The state and local income tax deduction thing is going to cost them somebody, may several somebodies. I know it isn't in one of the versions, but I think it has to go to meet the revenue/deficit goals. Not that Repubs give a crap about fisting high income taxpayers in CA, NY and HI (three states with very high state income tax rates) since they're all Dems anyway, but they'll need Repubs from WI, PA and OH, all states with pretty high income tax rates.

And that's presuming Roy Moore wins. He loses and I think the tax bill is DOA in the Senate. Which...well, I have no idea if he wins. Somewhere between the fantasies of MSNBC and /r/the_Donald is the truth, but God only knows what that truth is. I do think the polls showing him trailing by eight points or whatever are laughable rubbish, but he's clearly taken a hit, one that might be enough for him to lose.

 

[millais]

For sure it will be a tough road ahead, but I think they will cobble together some working version of it before year's end. I don't mind the inevitable compromise and concessions between the Senate and House versions; the parts they'll probably amend are the ones that won't have any big implications if any for me.

 

[MaxKekkles]

he hired Betty Devos, a hack who never attended public school long enough to care about the infrastructure of education. And the wall isnt doing shit about the immigration issue.

I don't get this argument. Does anybody at her age even remember in detail what public school was like and were they doing anything about it at the time?

Please. Everyone is too busy goofing around hanging out with their friends to "worry about the infrastructure of education" in 9th grade. I don't see what "experience" she missed out on, when the evidence is plain as day

 

[⋖ cørdion ⋗]

I have a few American people teaching here for a whatever-degree, and they all put anti-Trump statements in their presentations.

So obviously he got me high, effortless grades in 3 classes. Great lad, would've voted.

I just read a bit about the new tax plan, where it is a competition between the HOR and Senate on which one will be chosen. So far, I like the senate one more, as does Trump. It keeps the seven tax brackets, raises the taxable income to $12,000(individuals), $24,000 (couple). There will be a tax break for college loans (much needed for all the idiots who did it) on the senate plan, while the HOR plan wants a tax break for medical expenses (which is not as needed due to Obamacare). Also, the HOR plan wanted to reduce the bracket amount to 4 instead of 7, which I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but I think more of smaller brackets is better, personally.

To put it simply, the senate bill will allow people to make more without having to pay income tax (if you work part time, you will have a bigger tax return) and it will make taxes easier on you if you are a college student with a loan. Meanwhile, the HOR plan will make it easier if you are a person working part time with medical expenses. Either way, college liberals are getting the best of the entire tax plan and yet we will be sure to see those people continue to hate on Daddy Trump.

Trump did nothing wrong.

Now MAGA my neghole.

Too soon?

I think if he lets Net Neutrality be dismantled, literally anything running opposed to him in 2020 who promises to restore it will destroy him.

 

[Lipitor]

Rushing through with that Keystone XL oil pipeline sure turned out great.

 

[AnOminous]

I think if he lets Net Neutrality be dismantled, literally anything running opposed to him in 2020 who promises to restore it will destroy him.

Especially if it has any immediately obvious results. The people who paid all the bribes to get it might be smart enough not to exploit it so obviously immediately. But then when were cable companies, telephone companies and the like ever shy about naked rapacity?

I keep reminding myself that people are unpredictable but then there we those that are pretty predictable.
