The Donald Trump Score Card

I still think that Trump was hounded out and made to look a fool, the moment that he hit the nail on the head regarding Chinese imports.
Many corporations that support the US parties, make billions without providing a single manufacturing job in the USA. Levi's are a prime example.
If Trump had imposed his proposed tax, these companies would have collapsed within a matter of months. So he had to go.

We tend to forget that all the money we use to pay China for their goods, goes down a one way street. It simply ends up with the government controlled banks, where they have no option, except to invest it in US property.

We have the same problem in the UK, where China own around 30% of all property in London. Even more worryingly, 400 UK theatres, along with our film studios and media.
Is the west ever going to wake up, before it is too late.

I have friends who worked with Donald, when he was making the US version of 'the apprentice', based on the UK series. They cannot believe what they are reading today and describe him as a lovable rogue, who would threaten to roll his shirt sleeves up one day, then make them a cup of coffee the following morning. Yes, he did flirt with the girls, but always in the open and none of them found him creepy.

I am beginning to think that social media are running the entire western world.

End of rant, LOL

 

DeSantis accuses Trump of subcontracting to Fauci.

DeSantis takes shot at Trump for Fauci’s role during admin’s coronavirus response

excerpt:

"A leader must have the confidence to stand all alone if need be," DeSantis said at the Utah GOP Convention on Saturday. "And so for us, as I got into office, COVID presented that situation for us because we were in a situation – the third-largest state in the country – one of the highest percentage of elderly, economy based on tourism, which we needed to travel to continue.

DeSantis doesn't seem to be aware that Fauci was a civil servant. Trump couldn't simply fire him.

I did not say that the guy was a saint.
But how sure are you that all the articles you posted were balanced, unbiased and fully in context with the entire situation. Most of the problems were pre existent and not of his making.
When I see the decline of US cities such as detroit, caused by failure of previous leaders to maintain a level playing field in automotive production, I wonder why Trump was highlighted as incompetent. Levi's making millions, white pouring billions of dollars down the Chinese drains, all without providing a single manufacturing job in the US, is just one of hundreds of examples.
Perhaps the biggest con in world history is the LED street lighting, where China manufactured bulbs that were ten time more efficient than tungsten and lasted fifteen times longer.
No one pointed out, that tungsten bulbs have not been used for more than 50 years and the current SON and SOX lamps were almost identical in lumens per watt as LED. As for the lamps, while the LED ITSELF will last for 15,000 hours, it's lumens will have dropped by around 30%. However, the integral power supply will be lucky to last 5,000 hours. 10% are failing within 1,000.
The sad part is that the companies in the west who manufactured lighting for more than a century are going out of business. Their is no going back, and ever more cities are ending up like Detroit.

Their are hundreds of similar examples, all over the west, but the USA rulers seem to be driving the decline, like Ostridges with their heads in a bucket of sand.

I am in no way anti American, with the exception with people running around in 2023 carrying guns, LOL. This all saddens me.

 

He wasn't made to "look a fool". He already was one.

 

Fox News Parts Ways With Tucker Carlson - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

 

Tucker Carlson can go to Newsmax or One America News.

Or work directly for Trump.

Carlson went to Mar-a-Lago and let Trump talk for an hour uninterrupted on Fox TV to try to make up for the nasty remarks he made privately about Trump and his stolen election narratives after the 2020 election, which were revealed during the Dominion suit.

That was before Fox settled the Dominion suit for $787 million.

 

There are always those who will say Tucker Carlson isn't an angel, but that he's really an nice guy once you get to know him and he's only trying to solve problems that were already there.

 

Did you read both of my comments and think about them.
Their are 2 subjects that US presidents dare not get involved in and both of the have a 'knock on effect' over most of the west.

The first is China's underhand method of accepting payment for their goods along a one way street, then investing the money in the country they supply.
People just cannot seem to grasp that Dollars, Euros and Sterling are valueless in China. So they are reinvested back in their respective countries. China already own 30% of London and people just brush it off.

The second is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, which all kicked off in 1946. Many presidents have vowed to tell the truth when they are elected, then immediatly gone back on their manifesto, despite more than 1,000 sightings being reported worldwide every day. No one knows the full reasons, but many believe that a level of US government above the president knows the answer.
One fact that few people think about, is that acceptance of other intelligent life, pulls the rug from every religion on the planet. Particularly, if it verifies that humans are not native to this planet. Something which I strongly suspect, since discovery of ancient civilisations here on earth directly contradict evolution, while to some extent underpin religious beliefs.
The theories of how a thousand slaves could lift the stones to build the pyramids makes mathematical sense, but how do you get 1,000 people underneath a single stone to lift it. Even the worlds leading structural engineers can not work that one out.
None of this should affect our daily lives, but the longer we deny the truth, the harder it will become to maintain world unity when the truth is revealed.

On a light hearted note, if we all evolved from monkeys, why did some monkeys scratch their heads and decide not to bother.

 

I think it's more of pushing / pulling / rolling and leverage vs any actual lifting. Now these guys had a LOT of time to build them...

 

I loved the old films, such as Ben Hur, where hundreds of slaves were shown dragging the stones across the sand, but never shown building them up.
Even when I was about 9 years old, it always made me laugh.

 

Botetourt County man faces long prison term in US Capitol riots case

Trump wants to go back to incandescent lighting. He says the LED bulbs make his face look orange. He lifted what had been a ban on the import of tungsten lamps for residential use.

Without evidence, Trump talks like wind turbines cause disease and that their manufacturing causes a huge amount of pollution. For nearly ten years he unsuccessfully fought against the installation of wind turbines near his golf course in Scotland.

Trump wants to return to steam power for launching aircraft on military carriers. He's upset about what he says are issues with electromagnetic launchers while ignoring their benefits.

 

Trump threatened GM with fines and taxes when it decided to close three plants in Youngstown that were making sedans, a market that has shown a steady decline due to changing consumer needs. Some were converted into manufacturing modern equipment, such as rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles.

Trump threatened U.S. owned Harley-Davidson when it said it might move part of its operation to Europe to avoid some of Trump's tariff war. Trump later said he would reward foreign motorcycle companies to come to the U.S. It was the opposite of what he wanted his trade war to do

Trump made clothing imports in the U.S. exempt from his tariffs because the clothing import businesses of him and his daughter would have incurred reduced profits. He and his daughter buy very low cost from places like Bangladesh and sell them at very expensive places like Macy's. On the David Letterman show, 'America First' Trump justified his profiteering by saying that foreigners have to work too.
