GameChanger Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 I'm gonna slightly reverse the "NO OPINION" statement and say that it is my OPINION that the only thing the left could not like about Trump is his "Non PC" way of speaking to include some massagonisitc speak. From a factual standpoint all the changes made in the administration seem to have a sound basis. However, the superfiscial optics appear to be driving the left opposition and not the meat of the changes. From my fact checking... the policy changes seem to be making our lives better. I must be missing something. What fact are the left upset about??? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg1 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 The part you are missing is, the Left/Government does not want change. Or Prez. Trump to change anything/ the money train/ money laundering machien to stop! The end. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsten Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 The left is upset because POTUS Trump is shaking the tree of plenty for all....the source of all the Millionaires in the D.C. Swamp. He want the corruption gone and that would include over half of those people making the Rule that they Expect US (You and the rest they consider their minions) but they have a separate set of Rules....Or just say No Rules that they are expected to follow. It doesn't matter what they have said it the past (Video Records everywhere) it is what Trump says that they just can't let happen. If Hillarious had won this country would be a shell of the Great Nation it once was. We the People would have No Rights, No Voice, No Say, No Freedoms and No Guns to protect our selves or those around us. The Corruption would have been swept under the rug Never to see the light of day. The left and many on the Right need to destroy Trump and his very ways to get his agenda done.......If they don't in time the American People will know the truth about all they have done to benefit themselves at the cost of the American Tax Payer Just my opinion.

GameChanger Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I appreciate your comments above. They seem like opinions. In my life of over 50 years... I have never seen opinion used as fact nearly as much as it is used today. So... I'm hoping with so many bright people on this site that we could get to some "Brass Tacks" of the issues. It's funny, I speak to extremes of both parties and moderates of both... if you use a little verbal jujitsu, you can get to the chore of their feelings/opinions. Usually though, there are NO FACTS to support the opinion... just more opinions. All that being said... what are "The Facts Mam...

Pitcher Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 The Trump minority is not true. The Democrats had millions of Illegal votes. Trump. Is USA first and against politics as usual. That’s why his base supports him. The Left have no ideas to help Americans. What are they talking about, that’s right higher taxes and 1 dollar for border control. 1 2 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sage449 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Paraphrased from Ann Coulter: "He is a representative of what they hate about America, which is Americans. They hate the gun culture, they hate white men, they hate the middle part of America, and now with the demographic changes, they’ve wrought through immigration, they don’t really need to care about the middle part of the country. They’ve got Wall Street, they’ve got Silicon Valley, they’ve got the coasts, so they can stop pretending to like… to care about people in Indiana. Their attack on Trump I think is just… they’re able to do it without having the slightest tinge of embarrassment about attacking the Wal-Mart set because he’s technically a rich man who’s president. They see him as the representative of everything they hate about America, which is Americans." 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to start a fight but that’s one reason I believe Trump does succeed. No he’s not perfect. But he is strong willed and tenacious. I also know that Washington and Lincoln weren’t followed around day and night with microphones and video cameras. Probably both of them did and said things they aren’t proud of. I know I’m glad I didn’t have that follow me around everywhere. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trump folds to the Dems on the wall I and others will most likely not vote for him again. Nstoolman. Excellent point on the wall! Coupled with points Lgd stated about Iran it got me to thinking.(oh boy that’s probably dangerous) Look at these 4 major issues Trump has or is still tackling. 1. North Korea-essentially a thorn in our side since the ceasefire 2. Iran-major trouble as far back as the seventies at least 3. China-trade deficit and loss of manufacturing jobs for long time now. Horrible humanitarian issues. Terrible environmental history. 4. Wall/border security/illegal aliens in our country(as I’ve stated in other posts we needed this in the 80’s if not sooner) All these issues have been things many many Democrats and Republicans have pined about over and over. Now that Trump is attempting to actually do something about them he is in the wrong whatever he does. It amazes me how two faced or lack of any memory where the dems or Republicans previously stood on these issues. He may not fix it all exactly to my liking but he s done more in 2 years to attempt to fix these things then the idiots on both sides of the fence in the last 40 to 50 years. Of course that is my opinion. Again my opinion but the reason he can tackle these issues is because he isn’t one of them on either side. He can do things without worrying about cow towing to the parties. He also could have just as easily ran as a democrat and still won. What the hell would the lame steam media say to that? 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Video: By David Nakamura and Sean Sullivan January 25, 2018 President Trump is proposing a path to citizenship for an estimated 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants in exchange for hard-line steps to increase border security and curb legal immigration, a trade-off swiftly opposed by key Democrats. Trump's support for "dreamers" who have been in the country illegally since they were children represents a significant concession to Democrats and was intended as a compromise to help break the impasse over immigration in Congress, White House aides said Thursday. The plan offers a citizenship path to more than twice as many dreamers as were enrolled in a deferred action program Trump terminated in September, a move that is likely to engender fierce blowback among some conservatives, especially in the House. But in a sign of how fraught the prospects for an immigration deal remain, the proposal was met with disdain from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), as well as members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a FACT. GO RV, then BV Revisionist history. The first shutdown was for a clean funding bill to which the Dems wanted to include protections for DACA. Trump countered with four things he wanted for immigration reform if he were to give the Dems DACA protection. The four things Trump wanted was funding for border security which included funding for a "wall", restrictions on family-based immigration (chain immigration) or its elimination, end of the diversity lottery, and lastly, path to citizenship for the Dreamers. The clean funding bill was for the military, funding for disaster and to keep the government open. Since there was no deal with DACA, Congress was supposed to have taken care of it by the summer if not by the end of the year. Trump relented and passed a huge CR that he said he would never sign the like again. Trump was not offered 5 billion plus a year ago for the wall, the Dems wanted a separate DACA bill to be passed first then the would tackle the four pillars of his immigration reform to which they said they would consider the wall funding. Anytime a politician kicks the can down the road it signals it won't get done. Trump knew this but signed the CR bill for the military. This in itself showed he negotiated. This is fact, your facts are revisionist history. Quit listening to CNN. Trump did negotiate but the Dems were unwilling back then and are unwilling now. 1 3 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
