Face facts, America, Donald Trump is a success. Let's count the ways.
[usatoday.com]
The man wouldn't know what a fact was, if it farted in his face. If he had shit for brains it would a serious improvement. I do have to give him credit for being through, he has managed to piss off the leaders of every country on the planet, not to mention all credibility with the same people.
You can't possibly be that damn dumb, you don't really think he's a good role model?
Yes, all the way to zero. He has accomplished nothing..that is, unless you enjoy racism, sexual predators, serial adultery, narcissistic personality disorder on display daily, monumental ignorance about virtually everything, personally profiting from his office, nepotism, celebrating white privilege and supremacy....I mean, he is the worst person in the universe and there is literally no crime the man could commit that would cause his cult to desert him. He's an enormous disaster. His supporters are worse.
I couldn't have said it better--I am just amazed and disgusted that he still has followers
Tax cuts for the top 1%.
We had economic growth when he was elected.
Deregulation to a lot of us in not a good thing, in fact it is terrible.
Stock Market comes and goes.
Judicial appointments are the worse ever.
Trade will bite us in the ass.
U.S energy: These policies will destroy the environment.
Coal need to be a thing of the past.
Climate change will destroy the environment.
Schools: Destroying the public school system is good?
Obamacare fail: Oh dear. We certainly don’t want insurance.
Donald Trump’s only success is destroying our way of life along with the planet.
AMEN!!
Yes I agree he doing good so far. I just wish more of the Republicans would get behind him instead of fighting him and siding with the democrats. If they would do that he could get a lot more done. Also it’s very discouraging that the liberals on the main forum of this website curse him so much and try to do everything in their power to undermine him. There is a deep divide in this country. I’m a little afraid that at some point in time we may have another civil war.
You are the 2nd or 3rd person on this forum I have seen say as much.
I can't comment, I don't know enough of US Politics, he seems to have had a win over Kim the haircut challenged. I am so against his attitude to the environment, he is almost as bad as our last PM.
Trump cares about the environment, but he is a business man, he knows how to get fair deals for America, this Paris deal was bad for America.
@gater I have not seen a single environmentally positive action by his administration.
The Paris Agreement is too little too late in my books anyway but may slow things down a tiny bit. I can accept up to a point that when the other lot come to power they change things done by a previous government. But one would hope these changes would be an improvement. I am in no position to pass judgement on a national basis, our lot are doing far worse. I hope that at some point in the future our current politicians are considered criminals.
@gater How do you square caring for the environment with appointing climate deniers, anti environment people to every post that is supposed to protect the environment. They aren't scientists. There apparent qualifications are that they are billionaires who are in the fossil fuel business, and they have lobbyists who pay huge amounts of money to further weaken laws to clean up the air and water. For some reason, that makes me doubt that he gives a shit about the environment.
@Wisewoman3 It seems to be a strategy, first our Government (OZ) did away with the position of science Minister completely and sacked 50% of our researchers. Then they do the same, put pro mining and other industry type people in science and environment positions. Yes men so they get the answers they want. They also scrapped out national plan to have a national fibre optic network and decided we are fine with corroded 100 year old underground copper strands, they don't work, No matter how many times you replace the tin cans at the ends.
@gater The leaders of every country on the planet, besides us, has now signed it. It has been ratified by 147 countries. You really think Trump knows more than the majority of people in 147 countries. You didn't really believe that Trump was going to make America great again for you, did you? He's making America great again for him and his buddies, period.
Although I know facts arent real popular with the left.
The man has told over 2000 lies since he took office, you need to get your facts straight.
@gater where to start, OK
This is just the first 3 months and only 1 lie per date

Feb. 16 “They’re giving stuff — what was said at an office about Hillary cheating on the debates. Which, by the way, nobody mentions. Nobody mentions that Hillary received the questions to the debates.” (It was widely covered.)
Feb. 18 “You look at what's happening in Germany, you look at what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this?” (Trump implied there was a terror attack in Sweden, but there was no such attack.)
Feb. 24 “Obamacare covers very few people — and remember, deduct from the number all of the people that had great health care that they loved that was taken away from them — it was taken away from them.” (Obamacare increased coverage by a net of about 20 million.)

March 22 “Well, now, if you take a look at the votes, when I say that, I mean mostly they register wrong — in other words, for the votes, they register incorrectly and/or illegally. And they then vote. You have tremendous numbers of people.” (There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.)
March 31 “We have a lot of plants going up now in Michigan that were never going to be there if I — if I didn’t win this election, those plants would never even think about going back. They were gone.” (These investments were already planned.)
