Trump Train Losing Steam

Because Obama was what you gave us, and then attempted to extend his poor leadership with Hillary. It is exactly the issue you need to come to grips with.

Why are you always trying to compare Trump with Obama? Obama is no longer in charge and can't affect us. Trump can and as such, he is the problem that needs to be addressed. In addition solutions are what is needed, not just speculation or expanding knowledge of the problem.

It's safe to assume that you have a link to those other 494 companies somewhere so that the rest of us can have a gander?

I googled how many companies does trump have. It wasn’t hard.

Trump made most of his money by defrauding investors and using bankruptcy to protect him when they caught on. He's a con man not a real estate tycoon.

So are disputing the numbers or just being venting on my post?

So darn funny when people decide that President Trump is this or that. The Trump train is losing steam? :lamo
So many threads with pronouncements about president Trump that prove out to be wrong time after time.

Clueless people that don't have a whit of an idea why Trump won and why he will most likely win in 2020!

Sorry but Trump is losing steam. He has less supporters than when he got elected. That is a fact.

Great, but what does that have to with running a government. Are we supposed to see if the U.S. is one of the 6 out of 500?

I’m not really sure, you brought it up. Why did you bring it up?

My father in law made a similar subjective comment to me during the election. Who I would highlight I find highly intelligent and knowledge as a person overall with a good sense of people.

I truly worry for you both though having lived all those years and in them not being able to identify when your emotions have clouded your better sense and intelligence.

I could say of many popular politicians they have "no morals, ethics, principles", I can often prove it both objectively and subjectively. The truth is good men tend to avoid political arena and so much of politics is full of greys[all about how you frame it]. In no way however would that mean no person renowned for their knowledge and expertise could disagree or think contrary to my reasoning nor yours; in fact, I expect truth is often found hidden in some silent minority.

When you truly think so little of so many - I am not sure how you can miss you clearly fallen into the human trap of ideological possession.

Getting to live in one of the most beautiful and diverse places in the world, I hope you are able to find that human experience is full of diversity including intellectually and smart people get behind different public figures with different solutions and assessments from ones you might think right. In poltics we fight tooth and nail for what we think right, but all must accept in the end we are often wrong. I wish you luck.


I have many concerns about where we find ourselves, a little less than had Hillary won but currently trusting the system as legitment yes.

You are making a lot of assumptions that don't apply or are incorrect. First of all, this is not an emotional decision. None of my decisions about people have been made off of emotion. In fact, this last election was the first that I have voted on in my 73 years of age. Why is that? Because up to now none of the people that were up for being president were so bad or so good at running the country as to vote for or against them. Trump is the first one that I have considered a real and long term threat to the nation. This has not been an emotional decision but one made from knowing the kind of person Trump is.

Hopefully Putin doesn't get to have his say this time. Kind of sad that one of the USA's oldest and most powerful enemies got to put their man in as POTUS.

Watching Putin cuckold Trump in Helsinki was a sorrowful sight.

No I don't. If looking at the past for finding who caused problems we could go back to Nixon or Bush to find people to criticize. This not about the past but about the future and PREVENTING bad things from occurring. Looking at the past won't help us right now

The only way he could possibly win is a repeat of last time:

The Dems will have to once again put up someone almost as unpopular as him and that person fails to campaign in key swing districts; meanwhile his scandals get buried at the last minute, the Russian troll farm succeeds in fooling everyone a second time, the opponent faces a last minute FBI scandal or similar and voter turnout is considerably lower than in 2012. And and top of that at least as many people have to buy Trump's BS again, then he has to cobble together a few lucky electoral college slots while losing the popular vote by several million. On top of that he has to avoid impeachment, removal, quitting in disgrace, being primaried out or going to prison until then.

Yes it can happen, but the chances of the same fluke happening twice aren't great.

Trump's "numbers" have always been disputed by anyone who looked into them. He is after all a serial liar. You don't dispute that fact do you?

Think on that for a bit. What does that 'to know' represent?

Last thing I'll say before we go in circles - since your statement so remind me of my father in law. I think this differing perspective has a lot to do with "capitalism/greed/money" which obviously you feel polar opposite on to the Donald.

Can't fault you for reacting to your feelings of 'knowing' greed is most destructive force in the world. I just suggest it might be helpful to unpack that a bit sometime. Greed is human nature and it does not go away by supression. How it manifests itself is by the context of its application not by the appearence of its content. :peace

Nice to see you think Hillary is a better human being than trump!

I don't think she's much better.

I voted against him mainly because he embodies every asshole preppie kid I had to deal with in school.

Vengeance by proxy.

When the law is investigating every single organization you ever ran, like they are Trump, it's not a witch hunt. It's just a natural ending for someone who spent his entire life running a continuous criminal enterprise.

His approval numbers are as high as Obama’s at this point in his presidency...

... and he has a Democrat House and their idiocies to expose for 2-years.

The fun has only begun.

PS. Remember... Trump isn’t lame like a Bush, McCain or Romney... he fights back... and does so skillfully and successfully. It’s why he is POTUS and Criminal Hillary is not.

President Obama had a recession to deal with in his first 2 years . Americans were angry that they still had no jobs, no money and no homes.

trump however has had the LUXURY of a strong economy and record low unemployment. trump's approval ratings SHOULD be in the high 70s!

Instead trump's ratings are stuck at 42% and in a few weeks time he will be dealing with a House that is NOT going to kiss his butt all the time.

I wasn’t taking Trumps word. If you are disputing what I posted, then do so. I’m not interested in your tangent.

Those who fail to understand history are doomed to repeat it. I thought you were a smart guy, but that attitude says something entirely different and keeps you from learning from past mistakes.

Actually I could care less how many "shell" companies that Trump has to cover up his criminal deeds. The idea that covering up criminality is "smart" is purely for his entranced sycophants. It is evil and he is living on borrowed time before he faces that fact that he has put many in his family in jail with his "intelligence".

Obama had historic low growth... because he was incompetent.

I agree, Trump’s numbers should be in the 70’s, but unless you’ve been under a rock... the press has been a Goebbels-like propaganda arm of the anti-American aka Democrat Party.

Democrats are awful losers.

The Trump Train is losing steam! From November 2016 to November 2017, 5% of Republicans left the party. I was not able to find any recent statistics but most of the "good stuff" that Trump has done came in the first year, suggesting that if a poll was taken now, it would be much higher.

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/trumps-victory-1-year-later/data-republican-party-id-drops-after-trump-election-n828141

On another article, it is said that in 2014, white college educated women favored a Democratic Congress by 2% but on a recent poll that number has gone up to 22%.

These statistics were certainly proved to be right in the mid-term elections.

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/10/08/donald-trump-women-gop-221080

Simply stated, Trump is losing support and therefore is likely too lose the 2020 election.
