I put this in the Sanctuary Cities thread in news:

Quote:

On the topic, this is a genius move by Trump.

Trump is no intellectual by any stretch of the imagination. But what everyone seems to miss about this man is his "people intelligence" for lack of a better word. The man has been under constant assault since the day he entered the 2016 race, and yet he sits in the White House and his approval rating has been absolutely rock solid the entire time despite the frenzied efforts of his opposition to bring him down, while the approval rating of the media has plummeted.

He knows people, he understands people keenly. He knows how to size people up and get the measure of them, he knows how to get what he wants from them, how to deal with them, and how to just deflect everything they throw at him, it all just bounces off. He knows how to inspire his supporters. I can't recall any political figure continuing to sell merchandise after the campaign is over. They're still pumping out those MAGA hats and other merchandise. That Twitter feed of his for all the criticism it gets also works in his favour.

He has other attributes. He's 72 and has the energy of a man half his age and the wife to match. He never looks at all tired or worn down. He just keeps right on going while his opponents get bent out of shape and afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It's crazy that his opponents just keep right on going with the tactics that have utterly failed from day 1. They need to be better than Trump if they want to beat him. They can't win by dragging him down, at least not the ways they try to anyway. It just doesn't work, you can't drag him down and they're just hurting themselves in the process. They need to focus on moving their own approval rating, not Trump's.

So I guess it works here too. I was thinking about this topic yesterday when I saw a thing about an 11 year old girl who said the class project she had to do was an essay on your hero. She picked Trump, and says she was berated for it in front of the class and told to pick a different hero.

If true this is ludicrous. He is still the POTUS, voted for by a little under half the nation. People need to accept this. But really it shouldn't have mattered who was chosen, this should be irrelevant in a school project for an eleven year old. I would hope such an assignment would merely be a vehicle to give the child something enjoyable to write about so that their English skills could be assessed and graded.

Anyway, after my first thought about would it be the parents' influence that she chose Trump, it got me wondering why could a girl of 11 years pick Trump? Well he is the president, and maybe his policies might have made life better for her parents? Made her home happier? I also thought about the way Trump deals with all his adversity, like him or not, there is something to respect there.

America should be able to do a lot better than Donald Trump for POTUS, but right now, I don't see where that person is going to be found...

Of course the girl in question should have been able to have written about Trump. The teacher was allowing her prejudices into the classroom.

Lowest since 1969, again.

-The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits fell to more than a 49-1/2-year low last week.

-The data pointed to sustained strength in the economy.

-Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped to 192,000 for the week ended April 13, the lowest level since September 1969, the Labor Department said.

There are factors that people don't consider when considering unemployment figures:

There are quite a few people who can't apply for unemployment benefits because they did not work in a place enough to qualify for unemployment benefits.

There are quite a few people who have given up looking for jobs, period.

lavicious spending and loans and some odd junk bonds choices and bailouts and miraculously bounced back .. the spirit of casino capitalism of america .

our education system, our pharmeceuticals , our business system, our prison system, our weaponery system, our defense system, our charity system.. everything each runs like a different type of game in a casino,

in a casino capitalism society, you are either , a) the owner of the casino , b) the mit blackjack team , c) the daredevils like trump ,,, everyone else loses, or cleans the floor.

u see trump cant change the structure of this society , the casino nature of this country. this society is basically like this, whether fed raises rate for the last time or corporates see earnings growth back , it wont change much. but at least if his bets ae right again this time by the next time the party swtchies theres at least something to make life slightly easier for the ppl ..

He still has the progressives reacting to him and doing things emotionally.

That will be his most important legacy perhaps: he has exposed decades of rot, corruption, and criminality all through "progressivism," the left, and the Democratic Party.

US economy grows by 3.2% in the first quarter, topping expectations

The U.S. economy grew at a faster pace than expected in the first quarter and posted its best growth to start a year in four years.

First-quarter GDP expanded by 3.2% in the first quarter, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said in its initial read of the economy for that period. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected the U.S. economy increased by 2.5% in the first quarter. It was the first time since 2015 that first-quarter GDP topped 3%.

Home prices have been blasting higher.

It's phenomenal.

In my city, median homes are selling at about $200,000 higher than the 2009 bottom.

That's good, however, look here ….Your San Francisco home might make more money per hour than you do at work
https://www.sfgate.com/realestate/artic ... 826095.php

San Francisco homes are appreciating at $99.81 / hour @ 40 hours/ week.

So, $99.81 * 160 * 12 = $191,635 per year in home appreciation. 8O

One thing I have realized about Donald Trump is that he's a narcissistic twit who people love to hate, just like Marie Antoinette.

I don't hate Marie Antoinette. I have no feelings about her at all, although I do laugh at the quote she is known for, which she may or may not have made.

You may not have hated her, but the people of France hated her and her husband enough to overthrow the French monarchy and chop their heads off by guillotine. :queen:

I don't see what accomplishments he has made. Also if he could simply not have the national butterfly center of the rio grande destroyed for the wall, and not build the wall over the rio grande river I'd be appreciative. I know I don't live there but it sounds like the wall would cause a lot of environmental damage there...so maybe trump could authorize a fence rather than wall through there.
