I remember talking to my uncle during the Clinton Administration and venting as you seem to that Clinton was destroying the country and my uncle asked if I hadn't been conscious of the FACT that the country was doing pretty well.
In what way is Trump hurting the country?
I don't have all day as I have a bazillion outdoor projects I'm working on. I'll give you are few ways Trump is hurting the country as starters.
National security
Foreign affairs
National debt
Increase in racism
Betsy Devos :roll:
Healthcare
Reduction of opportunities and assistance for poor people
Reduction of opportunities and assistance for disabled people (including education, see above Betsy DeVos)
Lack of real commitment to VA
Abysmal condition of infrastruce
The continued attacks on the court system, the intelligence agencies, the FBI and the 4th Estate
Wrong.
The people who are suffering wish he wasn't around.
Show me.
Sure, whatever that means.
Are you talking about since Bush plunged the nation into unwinable wars for undefined reasons and as a result damn near destroyed the economy from which Obama rescued the nation from the brink of a depression? Because that is what happened in the previous 16 years.
By the way we remain in Afghanistan and in the region. Our defense budget has doubled in 16 years and Trump wants to increase it even more.
And no, partisan, I did not vote for Obama.
You will please recall that over the last 16 years, we had two Presidents. They happen to have been the two worst presidents in the history of the Republic. Bush was another victim of our failed and failing intelligence apparatus. Obama seems to have been using them.
Both of these failures were victims of pre-held biases that guided every action regardless of the situations in which they were used.
Since Trump was elected, there are more Americans working on more jobs that pay more than at any point in the last 16 years. In most BLS employment categories, longer.
Oh, and our workers are now burdened by lower tax rates individually than at any point in the last 16 years.
During January 2018, however, as predicted, the US Government collected MORE money. In fact, the US ran a surplus in January. This was the first month under the Trump tax plan. The US generated more taxes paid in January than any January in history.
You must have heard about this on CNN or NBC or CBS or ABC or the NYT. Maybe not...
Stock markets and the the resulting impacts to retirement and pension funds are way up and way good. DJI up about 7000 right now since election day. That run up is about 28% in about 1% of the index's existence.
Talking about retirement and pemsion funds, now bond yields are also rising which, again, helps ALL retirees in the plans regardless of any personal demographics.
In what way has Trump hurt the various decades old problems you cite? These gigantic aids to the regular guys only help those problems.
In what ways does increased personal income, lower tax rates, higher tax revenues to the FEDS and more money for those who are retired hurt ANYBODY?
You raved off a laundry list of bad things that would be bad if they were actually happening and yet they are not happening. They already happened. Trump talked about them during the campaign and the idiots who preceded him built those problems.
Where is your references to support your laundry list?
Links?
When you look at facts, things actually happening in the actual world, you see that Trump is pretty much a Golden Boy. Why do you want to destroy the guy that's helping everyone to personally achieve the things they want to achieve in their personal lives?
