Trump The Uniter

[TLK Valentine]

All things the President was voted into office to do. Now he is doing it and the opposition continues to whine, complain and name call while they stamp their feet.

He was voted in to destroy, dismantle, and divide?

I congratulate him, then.

It's why the Democratic Party has lost more than 1,000 seats during the Obama administration.

Nothing whatsoever to do with every party taking a hit during the incumbent's administration, does it? Nah, everything is a reflection on Obama, just as nothing is a reflection on Donald.

By the way, as long as you like numbers, crunch these:

1: How many Republican Senators has Donald mocked, insulted, threatened, or just generally made enemies of?
2: How many Republican Senators compose the necessary majority needed to get any of his ideas off the ground?

Go on, I'l wait...

 

[TLK Valentine]

Here, let me help you with those numbers:
John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Jeff Flake, Lisa Murkowski, Dean Heller, Rand Paul come to mind -- and those are just the ones he insulted by name. I'd include Mitch McConnell, but I suspect he'll obediently sit at Donald's feet no matter what he says or does.

Bear in mind, these are just the Senators in his own party Donald has insulted by name. We can't count how many others are merely disgusted, but haven't caught his attention yet.

Meanwhile, the Senate Republicans, at least for now, hold a majority of two seats in the Senate. Since they can't shut down a filibuster, they've had to resort to McConnell-ish trickery to attempt to sneak their legislation through Congress -- which has rankled the more ethical members of the GOP, which has only added their names to Donald's enemies' list.

I see a lot of Executive Orders in Donald's future -- and I hear a lot of silence from the people who used to howl every time Obama picked up a pen.

All things the President was voted into office to do.

Here's to hoping voters get their cake. I truly hope it's as unpleasant as expected. Politics in the U.S. needs an overhaul. The mud-slinging contest that was the 2016 election cycle was painful to observe and ought to be nothing but an embarrassment to see potential leaders of a country entrenched in childish playground nonsense.

 

[High Fidelity]

Pretty much. People said Obama divided the country... well if he was a wedge, Trump is a sledgehammer driving it deeper.

Oh well. Hopefully rock bottom hits hard enough to shake some sense in to voters.

Potential and current leaders, you mean.

It'll just be one more thing to blame on Obama/Clinton.

No, that is what the left and their teammates in the media are doing.

Trump was voted in as an agent of change. And there are many who don’t want change.

 

[TLK Valentine]

No, that is what the left and their teammates in the media are doing.

Very well, then -- let's put that to the test.

Donald didn't like the Iran nuclear deal, so he chose to disavow it, in spite of every intelligence source, including all of our own, agreeing that Iran was in compliance. Why?

It pales in comparison to the multitude of those on the left that have mocked, insulted, called names, called for the rape of his wife, called his child all types of names.

There are those even here on CF who cannot make a post without withdrawing to name calling.

Did you listen the last 15 times the President addressed this topic?

Here is his public statement:

 

[Yonny Costopoulis]

Trump has finally become Trump The Uniter in the last couple of days.

For several years, Iran has had two strong factions within their government, with close elections. There were even two military presences, the guard and the regular military. The government even criticized the Guard in the last election. All that is gone now. Iran is now fully unified against the US and their leader, with lots of folks giving "I told you so speeches".

Europe has also had issues splitting the various factions within their ranks, and between them and Russia. All that is now gone. The Europeans are unified against Trump, and is drawing closer to Russia.

Of course, the Democratic Party has been a disaster with many factions and no short term future. Over the last nine months, Trump has unified the Democrats, who now vote together on almost every issue. Trump's decision with regard to subsidy payments continued to unify the Democrats, and split the Republicans. The Republicans are split on DACA, healthcare, the budget and on the debt ceiling. Schumer and Pelosi can deliver Democratic votes in the negotiations on these issues in November and December.

There is only one political group unified in support of Trump: white evangelicals, who continue to support everything Trump says or does with 80% or more approval ratings.
=======
As an aside, Trump's understanding of the Iran deal is especially impressive. As everyone is his administration has agreed, Iran is NOT in violation. Actually, the US is in violation by continuing to try to get European countries to put their sanctions back on Iran. Should Congress do what Trump wishes, the US would be in violation of the agreement, since sanctions against Iran were agreed to be lifted.

To be clear, the US has every right to sanction Iran for its terrorism and lots of other actions, just not anything having to do with nuclear weapons. The US already has lots of such sanctions. Recently, Congress has already increased those sanctions, with Iran having not yet reacted to them.

Trump has made it clear that he believe that he has the right to walk away without any violation of the treaty by Iran. As President, he does indeed have the power to violate treaties.

Let's give the example used yesterday. Let us say that Russia decided that it really didn't like US actions in Syria. So, then Putin decides that he will pull out of one of the nuclear arms agreements with the US, and start increasing their inventory and start testing. This is precisely what Trump is threatening. Iran has misbehaved in ways that have nothing to do with this agreement, so he wants to walk away.

And just as an aside, now the hardliners in Iran are talking about walking away. This might be the only effect of Trump's moronic (a leading Republican's characterization) behavior.

Trump has united world in another manner. World agrees Trump is biggest laughing stock.

Fact that you have to compare entire population to one man tells all about Trump and how disgusting he behaves.

 

[Yonny Costopoulis]

Ah, a new angle of "Trump does nothing right" Bravo, very creative..

Never mind the 20 nations that have come together in sanctioning North Korea because of Trump.

Because of Trump? You making big joke or you really think this is truth? If you really not know I suggest you become familiar with facts. World has been united in sanctions against NK for nuclear weapons for lengthy time.

Pales in comparison? I guess you weren't alive during the Obama era where they called Obama the AntiChrist?

And who on the left? Some random Internet Troll? Antifa?

Perhaps, but nobody here on CF ever insulted them to their faces, expecting them to turn around and support our agenda as if nothing happened.

For a guy who had The Art of the Deal written for him, you'd think Donald would be better at dealing with people. Don't you wonder why he's so bad at it?

You can’t even give them credit for writing a book.

Combine that with the fact that the left he loved him and gave him accolades for his business acumen until he ran for president.

The same people who are never Trumper‘s right now embraced him and gave him credit for being a smart businessman when he was donating to them and didn’t regard himself as a Republican.

It's common knowledge that it was ghostwritten.

Tony Schwartz -- Google him.

Combine that with the fact that the left he loved him and gave him accolades for his business acumen until he ran for president.

Actually, no -- We acknowledge his celebrity, but wealth worshiping is more a thing for the other guys. After all, who actually believes Supply-side economics work?

The same people who are never Trumper‘s right now embraced him and gave him credit for being a smart businessman when he was donating to them and didn’t regard himself as a Republican.

Your interpretation of the past is certainly interesting -- yes, he endorsed Hillary Clinton once upon a time, a fact his loyalists choose to forget. What politician wouldn't turn away a wealthy donor? Nobody cared about his embarrassing personal blunders; after all, he wasn't running for office.

I will give him this much business credit -- having failed to buy a politician, he decided it was a better investment to become one. Bold move.

Where is the evidence of the “smart businessman”...? He won’t release his tax returns, despite having promised to do so, which means we can only speculate on his net worth. Regardless, even if we took the lower estimate of the fortune daddy left him ($40 million), if he had done nothing more than place that in a standard index fund over the years, he would have ended up with more than his claimed $10 billion today...!

 

[TLK Valentine]

Here is his public statement:

Yes, yes... Iranian government is bad, and they sponsor terrorism... for which a separate set of sanctions are already in place... and remain so.

They have, however, held up their end of the Nuclear deal.... will Donald?

Name one person who has left their money in a standard index fund and has realized a profit 250 times their initial investment?

You gotta be kidding.
