Warlord Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I must admit I like the way he has shaken things up and he seems to genuinely be a friend of the UK. The best thing about him is his foreign policy which affects us in that he is the only US president in my life time not to start a new war or conflict. He has been unlucky with COVID and it might cost him the election. His opponent Biden is quite senile and god knows what they have planned. The left want a "green new deal" and more massive spending which will only make matters worse. So anyone else a fan of Trump and hoping he wins re-election in November?

Arpeggio Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Trump has Lowered the cost of medicine, Increased employment among blacks, opportunity zones also. Signed the "First Step act" for prisoner rehab back into life. Brought jobs back to the US. Stood up to China. Fought against human trafficking. Fought against child abuse. Taken down MS13 (they are literally satanic and will skin you alive if you cross them). Reduced military presence in the middle east. http://www.magapill.com/ One of the few presidents who has done things that he promised to do.

Please post your thoughts.. all views welcome! not totally a fan of the guy,I am concerned by some of the appointments he has made being ultra-conservative,rather than followers of the consitutional.However he has called international policy correctly on a couple of things,even though people don't realise it yet. And yes,he is a true friend to the UK. He's very much like reagan in his worldview, which upsets the deep state like mad. He's also very much like reagan in that his position is under threat not just from soros et al,but from pence and cohorts(like bush snr was the handler behind reagan-and possibly also the assassination attempt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deficits are evil and should not be permitted. Borrowing to invest in public infrastructure is one of the few things I think the Orange Man has got right. Neither Biden or Trump have any interest in reining in the deficits. Both appear to be MMT men, through and through. https://news.yahoo.com/analyst-neither-trump-or-biden-care-about-soaring-federal-debt-deficit-235259067.html? Quote The lack of concern about deficits is rooted in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), an economic framework that until very recently had been perceived as out of the mainstream. Valliere wrote in a note to clients that MMT disregards spending when interest rates have bottomed out, and demand for Treasury paper is insatiable. Slashing spending triggers political blowback, and never goes over well among the electorate impacted by cuts, which is why politicians frequently opt to kick the can down the road. Few, if any, Republicans are calling for cuts to spending, tax hikes and reducing the growth of Social Security and Medicare perceived as necessary to curb the red ink, Valliere said. “So I don't see either party really being that serious right now about deficits and I would come up with a bottom line that by the middle of this decade, total [U.S. government] debt will exceed $30 trillion,” he said — and it may yet end with a reckoning. “It's not a problem until it will be at some point,” he added.

Gbob Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 He has had a lot of challenges in his presidency and has come out at least as acceptable. Covid could have gone better for him though. I like his no ******** approach but do wish someone would take his twitter password away as some of his comments are a bit trite. I never did work out what that cofoffee thing was all about.

They're all responsible for this mess and their only answer is more spending etc. .It won't work.. It's why the last depression lasted until WW2. Spending, welfare programs etc. have been shown to only prolong depressions/recessions . This is fact and proven in many papers and historical analysis of various recessions. You need to read about the Austrian business cycle theory and how credit expansion by a central bank fuels boom/bust scenarios. in fact Hayek won the Nobel Prize for his work on this very subject.

PeanutButter Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Perhaps it’s time for UK Trump fans to move to his homeland. Have you thought about trying for a job there? From the sounds of your descriptions it’s really turned into a golden land since he took over. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/ I’d like to hear about the cheap housing and plentiful, well-paid work.

We don't need a US trade deal, in fact we will be better off without one as the current arrangements suit us quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
