Pretty nice how Michael Robinson has the same over bite as Michelle Robinson Obama. No updates on the whereabouts of Michael to get an interview from. I thought I heard he’s dead ? Not sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I cannot believe our country is left with Donald Trump and Biden as our candidates. Absolute failure.
I'm trying to find some bright side too... I guess it's good it's not Kamala and Don. Also DT had yet to formalize his VP.
At least one of these two, if not both, won’t be the candidate in Nov. IMHO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I see disdain here but minus the mean Tweets which has actually been terminated to Truth Social, Trump IMHO did an exemplary job as POTUS until the Fauci/China consortium release. I’m 65 years old. I’m open for anyone to share with me policies any potus in my lifetime who did better policies. Trump had everyone standing at attention worldwide. From NATO to the UN to China, Russia and Rocket Man to even Cuba and Mexico. Now you can talk domestically. Radical socialists were rioting in liberal cities in anger. Regulations were peeled back to bring manufacturing back and to Re-Patriate USD from overseas @ only 10%. 3 years we were in position to really go on a huge economic run minus all proxy overseas wars. I think many people simply hate Trump. But look what he did that none before him in my lifetime did. Prior imho Bill Clinton did the best sprung up mainly on the .com age. Billy hated guns and free speech. But imho was second to Trump as best potus for our country on POLICIES not personality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I loved the healthcare plan he promised, wait did not happen I loved the wall Mexico paid for, wait did not happen I love the infrastructure bill he passed, wait did not happen I love that he balanced the Budget like he said he would, wait did not happen I love that he saved the coal industry, 50 plants closed, waitdid not happen I love that his trade war with China helped our farmers, wait did not happen, a 28 Billion-dollar bailout I love that he negotiated with the Taliban and got us out of Afghanistan, I do love this one, Biden mucked it up. I love his foreign policy, yep I did love his positions I love his immigration policies, yep loved those also. I can say he was pretty much right on COVID now. His economic and gas and oil policies were terrible, with way too much debt spending. He acts like a clown, the office of the President demands better. See I can say well the bad and the ugly, with Biden it's mostly ugly besides a few bills he passed that Trump could not get done. Demand better.
some of the many accomplishments of DJT ... 1. The lowest-paid 25% of Americans had a 4.5% income boost in November 2019, which outpaces a 2.9% gain in earnings for the country’s highest-paid workers. This benefits African Americans because many, according to Associated Press research cited in 2018 by USA TODAY, are in low-paying jobs. 2. In 2018, Trump signed the groundbreaking First Step Act, a criminal justice reform bill that enacted reforms that made our justice system fairer and helps former inmates return to society. More than 90% of those benefitting from the retroactive sentencing reductions in the First Step Act are African Americans. 3. Under Trump, poverty rates for African Americans and Hispanic Americans reached their lowest levels since the U.S. began collecting such data. 4. Pre COVID-19, African American unemployment was at an all-time low. 5. The Pledge to America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans. 6. The First Step Act’s reforms addressed inequities in sentencing laws that disproportionately harmed African Americans, and reformed mandatory minimums that created unfair outcomes. 7. Trump signed the first Perkins C.T.E. reauthorization since 2016, authorizing more than $1 billion for states each year to fund vocational and career education programs. The previous noted actions by the Trump administration are all substantive and measurable. The Trump administration has done considerably more for the African American community than several previous Democrat administrations. Considering those accomplishments, it is puzzling that black leaders continue to march in lockstep with the Democrats. Where are the free thinkers in that community? From an economic standpoint, the Trump administration has made great strides. 1. Under Trump’s leadership, in 2018 the U.S. surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest producer of crude oil. 2. The Trump administration made a deal with the European Union to increase U.S. energy exports to Europe. 3. It withdrew the U.S. from the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership, a major change in trade policy. 4. The Trump Administration secured $250 billion in new trade and investment deals in China and $12 billion in Vietnam. 5. It approved up to $12 billion in aid for farmers affected by unfair trade retaliation, but announced a total of $28 billion in aid for farmers in 2018 and 2019. Other accomplishments include a dozen hostages freed, moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, initiating historic tax cut legislation for Opportunity Zones and fulfilling his campaign promise to improve the Veterans Administration, just to name a few. Trump’s accomplishments are many, but you would never know listening to the Democrat-controlled liberal media. As far as they are concerned, none of these things happened.
there are much much more of accomplishments I could list by DJT .... one of the better POTUS of modern times ......
Healthcare you call Trumps fault ? Seriously ? McCain was on record for years spouting out trying to get attention. When push came to shove he showed he’s YELLA. May he rot in hell too. Trump lined things up very well including signing the China trade deal where they were buying ridiculous amount of corn. They signed and next week released Covid-19 thereby destroying that agreement I say purposely. Trump tariffs on countries who used tariffs on us was perfect strategy to level the playing field. I think your disdain for him being a clown is clouding reality. Trump wiped the carpet with ISIS. Obama appeased them and lied to us. Far and away you give no credence to not only Trump but his government who mainly held RINO types. BTW I consider you in that realm. Good guy but not firmly against what’s going on in our country. To me you’re a George Conway Mitt Romney type. Which is fine but yet a bit destructive. Ignoring the great things Trump admin accomplished and hanging Trump because a RINO bailed on Republicans probably because he wasn’t getting his Palm greased enough isn’t Trumps fault. How about the largest tax break in history that RINO Paul Ryan, who was responsible for not balancing the budget, not Trump. I recall Trump signing that budget and telling Ryan never again. So there you have 2 RINO’s undercut the budget reform and healthcare. Trumps PLAN was great. Ryan and McCain were jealous RINO’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rebuilding and investing in rural America. Signed an Executive Order on Modernizing the Regulatory Framework for Agricultural Biotechnology Products, which is bringing innovative new technologies to market in American farming and agriculture. Strengthened America’s rural economy by investing over $1.3 billion through the Agriculture Department’s ReConnect Program to bring high-speed broadband infrastructure to rural America. Achieved a record-setting economic comeback by rejecting blanket lockdowns. An October 2020 Gallup survey found 56 percent of Americans said they were better off during a pandemic than four years prior. During the third quarter of 2020, the economy grew at a rate of 33.1 percent – the most rapid GDP growth ever recorded. Since coronavirus lockdowns ended, the economy has added back over 12 million jobs, more than half the jobs lost. Jobs have been recovered 23 times faster than the previous administration’s recovery. Unemployment fell to 6.7 percent in December, from a pandemic peak of 14.7 percent in April – beating expectations of well over 10 percent unemployment through the end of 2020. Under the previous administration, it took 49 months for the unemployment rate to fall from 10 percent to under 7 percent compared to just 3 months for the Trump Administration. Since April, the Hispanic unemployment rate has fallen by 9.6 percent, Asian-American unemployment by 8.6 percent, and Black American unemployment by 6.8 percent. 80 percent of small businesses are now open, up from just 53 percent in April. Small business confidence hit a new high. Homebuilder confidence reached an all-time high, and home sales hit their highest reading since December 2006. Manufacturing optimism nearly doubled. Household net worth rose $7.4 trillion in Q2 2020 to $112 trillion, an all-time high. Home prices hit an all-time record high. The United States rejected crippling lockdowns that crush the economy and inflict countless public health harms and instead safely reopened its economy. Business confidence is higher in America than in any other G7 or European Union country. Stabilized America’s financial markets with the establishment of a number of Treasury Department supported facilities at the Federal Reserve. Tax Relief for the Middle Class Passed $3.2 trillion in historic tax relief and reformed the tax code. Signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – the largest tax reform package in history. More than 6 million American workers received wage increases, bonuses, and increased benefits thanks to the tax cuts. A typical family of four earning $75,000 received an income tax cut of more than $2,000 – slashing their tax bill in half. Doubled the standard deduction – making the first $24,000 earned by a married couple completely tax-free. Doubled the child tax credit. Virtually eliminated the unfair Estate Tax, or Death Tax. Cut the business tax rate from 35 percent – the highest in the developed world – all the way down to 21 percent. Small businesses can now deduct 20 percent of their business income. Businesses can now deduct 100 percent of the cost of their capital investments in the year the investment is made. Since the passage of tax cuts, the share of total wealth held by the bottom half of households has increased, while the share held by the top 1 percent has decreased. Over 400 companies have announced bonuses, wage increases, new hires, or new investments in the United States. Over $1.5 trillion was repatriated into the United States from overseas. Lower investment cost and higher capital returns led to faster growth in the middle class, real wages, and international competitiveness. Jobs and investments are pouring into Opportunity Zones. Created nearly 9,000 Opportunity Zones where capital gains on long-term investments are taxed at zero. Opportunity Zone designations have increased property values within them by 1.1 percent, creating an estimated $11 billion in wealth for the nearly half of Opportunity Zone residents who own their own home. Opportunity Zones have attracted $75 billion in funds and driven $52 billion of new investment in economically distressed communities, creating at least 500,000 new jobs. Approximately 1 million Americans will be lifted from poverty as a result of these new investments. Private equity investments into businesses in Opportunity Zones were nearly 30 percent higher than investments into businesses in similar areas that were not designated Opportunity Zones.

Eliminated the Waters of the United States Rule and replaced it with the Navigable Waters Protection Rule, providing relief and certainty for farmers and property owners.

and more ............... Deregulation had an especially beneficial impact on low-income Americans who pay a much higher share of their incomes for overregulation. Cut red tape in the healthcare industry, providing Americans with more affordable healthcare and saving Americans nearly 10 percent on prescription drugs. Deregulatory efforts yielded savings to the medical community an estimated $6.6 billion – with a reduction of 42 million hours of regulatory compliance work through 2021.

Achieved a mutual agreement with the European Union (EU) that addresses unfair trade practices and increases duty-free exports by 180 percent to $420 million. Secured a pledge from the EU to eliminate tariffs on American lobster – the first United States-European Union negotiated tariff reduction in over 20 years.
