The Donald Trump Score Card

More yawn

We have to go back 10 years now do we

 

Yeah. That's what happened. I'm just not seeing it the right way. Gee. I think I'll sail my yacht.

 

That's what I was talking about!

 

Mark my words, at the end of four more years, Trump will have done something so insane that even his supporters will have to admit it was stupid.

 

I think we know the answer.

 

Do you remember GW?

George Walker Bush

He did some pretty insane things......and what difference did it make in the end?

 

Why is vg so enamored with us politics?
He says he lives in oz, but maybe he is not being truthful, maybe he is emulating his idol.

 

Well, a lot of people died. But since I arbitrarily live and am entirely self-absorbed, I guess yeah, you could say it makes no difference.

 

You mean things like two wars and a failed economy? Yeah I remember those...

 

No dude, all I have to ask myself is how likely is it he will win the next election

Which is really dependant on how many Americans that are going to bother voting actually give a shit about the stuff you just listed

He was a Washington outsider from the start, so there will be a lot that will just think first term was about finding his feet.

Then there is the opposition. Biden is the poster boy for secret old school Washington under the table deals. Sanders and Warren, 30 trillion or 52 trillion on healthcare is exactly the same kind of mistake Corbyn just made in the UK elections. That kind of talk just scares the crap out of people.

At the moment, Trump is the lesser of two evils, and I don't see that changing by November unless they pull another Obama out of the hat

And that's not Yang with his universal dole bludging scheme

 

I'm wondering that now. He has changed his military policy on Iraq three times today. First he was going to sanction them if the demand US troops leave, then one of his generals sent a letter to Iraq saying they would leave, then the Pentagon says they are staying. The Iraqis are wondering if Commander Bone Spur is Bipolar?

 

'Pay us back': Trump says troops will not leave airbase unless Iraq compensates US

'Pay us back': Trump says troops will not leave airbase unless Iraq compensates US

excerpt:

"The president did not specify the airbase, but he was presumably referencing the al-Asad Airbase in Anbar province, which he has previously said cost the United States a "fortune" to build. The base was originally built by the Iraqis, but the United States made investments to improve it after ousting Saddam Hussein in 2003.

Trump said the U.S. would inflict crippling sanctions on Iraq if it forced U.S. troops to depart.

“If they do ask us to leave, if we don’t do it on a very friendly basis, we will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame,” he said. “If there’s any hostility, that they do anything we think is inappropriate, we are going to put sanctions on Iraq, very big sanctions on Iraq.""

 

Yeah, so how is Trump worse than that?, pulls out of a couple war zones, lowest unemployment rate for decades

Remember that photo of the 50 year old delivery truck and oh, that's proof Saddam has Chemical weapons, let's go kill 1/2 Million Iraqis. GW actually was a moron

Megan calls it "betraying your allies" if a Republican president pulls out of a warzone. If a Dem president were to do it, he is ready to pull the guys pants down

 

The likes of which you ain't ever seed before, my trailer park buddies.

 

You can't possibly believe the total bullshit you say, can you? Really?

 

The graph of G.W. Bush shows the approval bump he got after 9/11 and after his invasion of Iraq. It scored him some points short term but his approval fell consistently overall. It was around 25% near the end of his second term.

A polar plot of his approval rating vs. time exhibits a continual downward spiral. People used to refer to it as the toilet flush.

 

No the guy who drops his pants is Lindsey Graham. And the unemployment rate looks good because Trump and the Republicans do not count unemployed people who ran out of monthly benefits and food stamps and may have given up on the system. Trump don't count them folks, millions of them. And Trump don't count the guys who sleep on the sidewalks, no sir.

 

Anger drives support for wartime presidents
by Washington University in St. Louis

excerpt:

"It's no secret that Americans tend to throw their support behind a sitting U.S. president when the nation is thrust into a war or other potentially violent conflict with a foreign foe - a phenomenon known as the "rally 'round the flag effect."

But new experimental psychology research from Washington University in St. Louis is the first to offer compelling evidence that these wartime surges in presidential support represent a collective reaction to a specific human emotion.

"It's about anger, not anxiety," says Alan Lambert, PhD, professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences and lead author of the study published this month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. "Anger is the engine that drives these sudden spikes in presidential approval ratings.""
