@spartans9312 how exactly has Trump been terrible this term?
Being chicken shit with Iran…if you are going to play the game you play to win. You’ll disagree but the economy sucks…probably not all his fault but he gets the blame just like he would get the credit vice versa. His inability to shut his mouth.
Border is a win
Gotcha. Yeah, we disagree with Iran and the economy.
1. did nothing to reduce the cost of living which is what got him elected
2. unilaterally imposed tariffs that contribute to inflation and are a nightmare on small businesses
3. started a war with iran
4. not out of russia
5. and now will cost the pubs the house and maybe the senate.
I’’m talking about taxpayer dollars flowing to this outfit that was supplying weapons that Assad used on civilians. It continued to flow even after it was public knowledge this was occurring. Did Congress push back on this happening? Did the Pentagon continue to contract with them? Did they look for alternatives? Mi-17 helicopters…used for what?
Did assad turn around and give money to Iran to purchase weapons to target US assets?
In the last week, we shut off Starlink to Ukraine, stopped giving them early warning of strikes, and now fund the Russian (and Iranian) military. Look at the whole picture.
Oh…I’m looking at the whole picture. Others are blinded by Trump. Some think Europe quit buying Russian diesel…wrong. And on and on. Trump has screwed the pooch in Iran because he’s soft and wants people to like him. Also…he’s been terrible this term. I can admit that. Obama was terrible his second term. Biden was terrible. You won’t find many Democrats signing up to make those statements
Once again, Russia has been supplying arms to Syria for decades, including during Trump's first administration. This is hardly big news, but it certainly wasn't secret and was well known by those interested in knowing this.
Second, you're making the wrong comparison. Cutting off support for Afghanistan's MI-17 helicopters would be the equivalent of cutting off support for Ukraine's American-made weapons systems, which we've done on several occasions. Most recently the President stopping delivery of Patriot missiles. In many cases NATO allies have tried to address these shortfalls by supplying Ukraine out of their own stocks. Unfortunately, we're also slow rolling resupplying our NATO (treaty Allies) with those materials. This is all part of Trump's apparent decision to put pressure on our partner nation and Democratic Ukraine rather than the aggressor, adversary and dictatorship Russia to get Ukraine to capitulate in Russia's favor. And yes, this is terrible.
The above is the comparison to make - it's about us supporting a partner nation (Afghanistan at the time, and Ukraine now) in their national defense and security. The comparison isn't Syrian civilians being killed by the Syrian government using Russia weapons supplied to them for decades to Ukrainian civilians being killed by Russians using their own weapons, though that would be a more reasonable comparison to make, but you didn't make that comparison.

I didn't ask you. I already know you're wrong.
1. Is factually wrong
2. Half right
3. You're correct
4. He has tried to end multiple times now and cut back on funding.
5. Voters are dumber
Also, he got elected because of immigration, which is the only thing that matters today and fixed it.
You get a 1.5 out of 5 = F-

Fair assessment. #1 should have been main goal and the consistent message. Everything else should have complimented that.
Tariffs could have been strategic and meaningful, really giving certain industries and job sectors breathing room but turned into chaos and pissing matches. You can't reshape the god damn world economy in one term via executive orders and obscure, misapplied national security laws.
@snarlcakes i don't come here to debate. like coh i come here to teach. if the lesson is lost on you htat ain't my fault son.

And look at the polling on immigration, people believe he went too far, including many that voted for him. Who was the Republican congressman upset family members were deported complaining Trump was supposed to go after the bad guys. It appears few wanted everyone, including some citizens and legal permanent residents, deported. How does a US citizen, let alone 5 or 6, get deported? Where are the checks and safeguards?
78% of Republicans approve, that is a fair number not approving on his signature issue. Among independent voters, 53% disapprove.

People know when they are broke. They don't always know why, but they know when. This admin telling folks who already couldn't afford houses and medical insurance that they'll have to settle for fewer dolls at Christmas for their kids was a huge PR fail. That perception of being cold and out of touch re: actual concerns has clouded this whole 2nd term. More adventurism in the ME with a major war in Europe already driving up costs was just another kick in the gut.

And that's why you're no longer leader of the Dream Team. To use an analogy you'll understand. You're David Beckham. I'm Earling Haaland. You had a good run. I'll take it from here.
@snarlcakes STAND DOWN COLONEL!!!!!! You won’t get a second warning! I’ll have you taking directives from aloha

Cool, a coup, but aren't you two the only members?
@big-ryan no spartan nailed you. You’re a child. If Biden was in office this would have been strategic. When you bleat incessantly like you do in one direction you’re of no value. You’re just bowlhickory. What spartan said you should take to heart. Learn from his words. Grow up
When was the last time a US president hobbled the military communications and defense capabilities of a partner country that is fighting for its life?
Not a US President, but a US Congress denied further financial and military support for S Vietnam in 1975. This brought on panic within the S Vietnamese military, which spiraled downward quickly. Prior to that, the S Vietnamese military acquitted itself well after US troops stopped direct military involvement.

@old-crescent ⚡️⚡️⚡️🤝and right on cue @aloha-hoosier tye mother fucking 🐐 appears. What you see isn’t what’s watching…. Remember that.
@el-zee compared to when Biden was in office Americans are doing better. That's the data. If people are dumb and want to vote in the people who made them poorer, so be it. You can't fix stupid. And by the way medical insurance is unaffordable because of Obamacare and government regs. Last I checked only Trump was for cutting it.
@snarlcakes Biden created the conditions. Trump ran on fixing it. He hasn’t. His words.
