Why is your mind so clouded with hate that you can't generate original rational thought and only repeat the lies told to you by dishonest media?
-_- I conclude Trump is an arrogant buffoon by his Twitter posts alone. What competent leader would respond to a nuclear threat from another country by stating "my nuke button is bigger and actually works" on social media? I couldn't defend this guy if I tried my hardest to do so, not because of bias, but because of how obvious of a bad job he's doing. It'd be like holding up a black piece of paper and arguing that it was white; it simply isn't.
I disagreed with everything Obama said, but I never showed ignorance by pretending he was a moron.
Love him or hate him, Trump is very intelligent and one of America's most successful businessmen. He is succeeding by de-regulating American industry and letting the wealth producing machine do its thing. Hate the rich all you want, but I've never worked for a poor man.
I don't hate the rich, but I can tell when a tax plan hurts the 99%. For example, the tax bill made it so that the teaching assistants at my college are in huge trouble. Their "pay" was always free tuition, and now it becomes taxable income they can't possibly afford to pay taxes on, because they never see any of that as actual money in their bank accounts.
Even if Trump was the most brilliant businessman that ever lived and ever will live, that wouldn't make him a good fit as a president of a country. A competent Republican president would have been able to entirely reshape healthcare, etc, by now, since there is a Republican majority in congress. Trump didn't even have a list prepared of people he wanted for his cabinet when he won, and now his cabinet is a rotating door.
Unemployment among minorities is nearing an all time low. Who is better for them; politicians who give them someone to hate or businessmen who provide jobs and a means out of the cycle of poverty?
How is it a means out of the cycle of poverty if all those jobs they are getting are minimum wage, which hasn't been a livable wage for decades? Plus, what of the fact that while most positions haven't had wages change all that much when inflation is taken into account, the position of CEO in general has had extreme pay increases? In order for the general population to experience the benefits of a booming economy, shouldn't there be a limit on how much more a CEO can make than their lowest paid worker? That way, when a business is doing well and isn't entirely reinvesting profits, all employees would benefit from the success that they contributed to.
And what about getting rid of common ways the wealthy dodge taxes, such as taking advantage of the fact that art appraisals are arbitrary to pay, say, $10,000 for a painting that they later have appraised at $100,000 and donate it to make it a tax write off? Heck, Donald Trump himself does something similar in real estate; since he can both buy real estate and state what value property has, he can simply say that the value of the property has dropped and mark the loss on his income to give the impression that he hasn't made any money. Even if you want to argue that he hasn't done that, plenty of wealthy people do take advantage of it, and these loopholes remove a significant portion of funding that should be going to schools, roads, etc. When the top 1% collectively makes more than the bottom 50%, that makes the actions of a relatively small number of people have a huge impact on a country's ability to maintain itself.
