Re: Trump - The NEW, New Thread

Trump is a terrible President, an absolute disgrace.

By what metric?

By the metric of personal generosity whilst in office he is the greatest president of all time. By unemployment metric he is better than the previous two. By fewer people on food stamps better again! Perhaps wealth created in 401ks with record high stock markets? That's a lot of money for a lot of folks! Again, better! Deregulation since Reagan? As an example ... pipeline that benefits Canada too? Perhaps bringing back new billion dollar auto plants? Border security?

Want me to go on???

By what metric is he a terrible president? Oh I know, by the Bob G., Peter McKillop, Paul Bonham metric. Yeppers, you got me there! He might not ever be canonized.

This is too much fun!

Re: Trump - The NEW, New Thread

It's also a euphemism for all things great about America ... no doubt about that. The American dream is still very much alive. And any Individual can STILL create their own wealth. Whether or not they can hold on to that wealth is another 'matter'. I'm very keen on seeing the details of Trump tax plan.

At any rate at least that message is a learned lesson. Trump played the haters ... and continues to play the haters. Dems with a positive message + getting out the vote should be enough to give Trump a run for his 'money' in 2018.

".... create their own wealth" ....... what global warming and Hurricane Hugo cum Katrina cum Rita cum Andrew cum Sandy cum Harvey is teaching America is that wealth needs to be redefined. All that Chinese crap floating down Buffalo Bayou..... that's not wealth. Strangers rescuing strangers.... that's wealth.

Why didn't he just write out a cheque?
Trump has a history of reneging on charitable pledges.
Even if he does follow up with the cash, so what?
The Trump budget proposes to cut $1 billion from FEMA budget.

Re: Trump - The NEW, New Thread

If I may be so bold, I think if Peter had a single message to "run on" it would be very simple: Love trumps hate.

Much superior to your message of "American individualism".... a euphemism for all kinds of immoral activity in the name of greed.

Re: Trump - The NEW, New Thread

He's not my hero. I don't have one. Even if I had to chose one I couldn't. Although now that you bring up the 'matter', I could combine a bunch of people into one 'entity' that would be my hero.

Anyways, your kind, Peter, will NEVER have a platform because your kind doesn't have an original message to run on. That's why your kind lost! So keep on belittling the good work of others!

That's all your kind has left to do.

Good luck in 2018.

On July 10, 2017, Warren Buffett donated 3.17 billion dollars to charity. For over a decade Buffett has been donating 1+ billion dollars per year to charity. Now that's impressive! Trump's donation of $1,000,000 was, proportionately, the equivalent of a person with a net worth of $10,000 donating $2.86. Every little bit helps. All I'm saying is keep a sense of perspective regarding your racist, misogynistic, homophobic hero.

Another typical deflection tactic ...great.

Get busy on Google, Neil, and find out what serious billionaire philanthropists - e.g. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett - are donating to charities.

Uh, Bush was President in 2005.

From the above link:

President Obama told a New Orleans town hall gathering: “I wish I could just write a check.”

Have a nice day.

Remind me again, when hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans with such force how much did Obama personally pledge of his own money to hurricane Katrina relief?

Contrast?

MAGA!

It was a nice gesture - Trump doing something decent for a change. But let's keep things in perspective. Give or take, Trump's net worth is about 3.5 billion dollars. If I've done my arithmetic correctly, Trump donating 1 million dollars to Harvey relief is like someone with a net worth of $1,000,000 donating $285.71.

Re: Trump - The NEW, New Thread

There's nothing remotely racist about thinking that Obama is a Kenyan-born Muslim. I often erroneously believe that people are Muslims who were born in another country because they have dark skin, and I have black friends, so I can't be racist. People accused every white president of being a Muslim, but nobody ever called them racist. Fucking liberals are so sensitive.
