President Donald Trump!

Post Reply New Topic

I watched a lot of the Super Tuesday coverage. Was I surprised? Not really. I knew voters would go straight for Trump in those seven states. Cruz would win TX (and he also won Oklahoma), and I'm glad Rubio finally got a state.
Dr. Ben Carson seems to be ending his run for President: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/03/us/po ... .html?_r=0
He was last place in practically every state last night.

Still not a fan of Trump. Sure, I'm moderate. But anyone, even Hillary, is better than him. I don't need a wall over Mexico, Muslims deported, and a dictatorship. But I do agree that more troops should be sent gradually to go fight ISIS. Who knows, the mainstream media doesn't tell us, but we don't know if they are planning another attack on America as we speak. Those poor refugees - and I mean the non-terrorist/extremists. Too many are dying, and many of them are children.
Women's rights, the poor, and changing the education standards should be on the docket as well. WAY too many people in or below poverty in America. Come on, this isn't Africa. More jobs to help the poor; provide them assistance; and get rid of the so called Common Core.
And don't open the race card. We are the land of the free - and the home of the brave. Not the "land of only white." Land of the FREE, meaning we are melting pot of immigrants and interesting cultures.

- I am expressing my own opinions, as a moderate. Not a strict liberal, not a strict conservative.

Trump pushes out wild claims as if they were facts, and his supporters spread it like fundamentalist believers of the gospel. If he is doing this deliberately, he is contemptuous of facts, uses lies to manipulate and deceive. If he is doing this unknowingly, then he is ignorant of the facts and doesn't bother with fact checking. Example - try fact checking it:

From Fact Checks:


Donald J. Trump
Eighth Republican Debate
Feb. 6, 2016
"Right now, we're the highest-taxed country in the world."

Not even close.

By several measures, Mr. Trump’s claim about the country’s taxes does not check out.

The United States’ total tax revenue as a share of gross domestic product ranked toward the bottom of the pack among the countries that are members in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

In 2014, according to O.E.C.D. data, the United States’ tax revenue represented 26 percent of gross domestic product. The organization's average was about 34 percent, and the country with the largest share was Denmark, at 51 percent.

The United States was in the middle of the pack for total taxes per capita, according to O.E.C.D. data.

And if you judge by which country has the highest top personal income tax rate, the United States is not close to the highest, either.

Trump is talking corporate income taxes which are the highest in the world

A nil rate of tax for not a few corporations in actuality:

Thank you! Too many of those bastards are slipping out of paying their taxes, all the while complaining about their tax burden!

That's kind of the whole point of what Trump is saying, the reason these companies don't pay any taxes is because they are keeping their profits outside of the country because of how high the corporate tax rate is. There are also a lot of deductions as well. Trump wants to lower the corporate tax rate while eliminating loophole/deductables and have a one time repatriation tax at 10% to bring back some of the $2 trillion dollars of profit stashed outside the country.

Sounds good, but...

Regardless, does that mean it's wrong?

Interesting how you ignore the point and reply about something never claimed. The issue was diplomatic skills. He failed to use any diplomatic skills with the UK government. The claim has nothing to do with who the UK wants elected as our President....

Donald Trump's campaign is based on his attitude, and not his (lack of) aptitude for the job.

What? Trump is not president yet, the UK parliament did jack squat, it was just a bunch of hot air from place that is completely ruled by political correctness. They have to condemn Trump or else they quite literally might have violence on their streets, they protest when a cartoon gets drawn so I understand their fear but privately I'm sure the opinions of the leaders over there are all quite different. It would be amusing if any Brits actually think we take that seriously. Trump is pretty much the American incarnation of the populist European right that has gained so much influence these last decade or so, it's not going away any time soon and there will countries in Europe that elected similar leaders in the coming years. Like I said, we don't need diplomacy with our protectorates but rather with our so called enemies who respect and understand strength and Trump doesn't adhere to this bizarre idea that not speaking with them somehow deprives them of legitimacy when the reality is that is just an excuse to not change our course as far as foreign policy goes which is making a lot of people in this country very very rich.

Hillary has zero diplomatic skill and she is a neocon to boot, she's the worst possible person besides maybe Marco Rubio in this regard but even a return to the Bush era diplomacy would be an improvement over the disaster Obama has presided over. He supposedly going to fix our image in the world and usher in this era of good feelings, it hasn't happened and he'll leave the world a much more dangerous place than when he found it.

Are you on drugs???

do you have an argument? are you on drugs?

I'm not on drugs and I have valid arguments. Unfortunately, you have such deep flaws in your arguments it would take too much time to bring you up to speed to even understand what's wrong with what you're claiming...

Duke supporting Trump.

This comes from a Duke statement that what he has been saying for decades, and the majority of Americans support, is that the Government has to enforce laws equally, and cannot pick and chose to not enforce immigration law without undermining all laws.

Illegal immigration has polled high for the last twenty-five years in what Americans are concerned about.

On that single issue, Trump is the first national figure to agree with the American Public.

Duke never endorsed Trump, he only mentioned that one of Duke's causes had been brought to the national stage.

The Media however, ran a story that they were dating.

You have to support illegal immigration, because David Duke wrote that the Immigration Laws should be enforced.

This proves Trump is a NAZI!

Low energy JEB spent $100 Million, more than a Billion will be spent between now and the election on Lies, Social Media, and Slander.

The Alien Grays and the Tall Whites do endorse Trump, as the only defense against Hillary the Reptilian.

This election is important, the Time Travelers say this is the choice between our joining the Federation of Solar Systems, or Reptilians openly feeding on the surface. Reptilians are not, just like us with green scales. It is not Racist to not want to be eaten.

The choice is, vote for the future, or vote for the past.
