Lol at "may have".
Trump may have bombed Yemen more than all previous US presidents combined, new report finds
In his first year in office, President Trump loosened rules of engagement and oversaw a dramatic escalation of US attacks in Yemen.
ISIS isnt destroyed and Trump has dropped more bombs on Yemen than than Bush and Obama combined. Your post isnt accurate.
You dont think it is telling when so many people who worked closely with him, have spoken out against him? That doesnt really happen with other administrations.
So based on your comments, you are basically upset that Trump "may have" bombed Yemen which means he did something bad, but at the same time you are complaining that he hasn't done bombing in Africa.
First, I vehemently disagree with Mattis that Trump was first in that Obama intended to and succeeded at dividing us. He was just a whole lot more polite about it. Trump is actually a product of the previous Divider in Chief as Trump didn't think about running for President until President Obama decided to use the WH Correspondent's dinner to roast him. The difference is with Obama's division (other than he didn't spew it on Twitter endlessly) is that the majority of the media outlets, social media, Hollywood, and the whole of the Republican party in Washington didn't make it their goal to demonize Obama. Yes, there were some Congresspeople saying that their goal was to resist Obama and, yes, there were some fringe that spewed Antichrist garbage. But the biggest thing the right did was the birther theory and even that was only really as widespread as the Trump emoluments clause complaints. It was never a non-stop assault on Obama every single day from multiple angles dating to before he was even sworn into office. So, yeah, I disagree with Mattis.
You realize that many of the "conspiracies" that Trump is spewing were actually conceived by a leftist think tank and propagated as a way to gaslight any legitimate criticism from Republicans.
So what do you think a career military general with a reputation for promoting overwhelming force would want the president to do when it comes to social unrest? He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would look at things and say "let's come together, friends."
I’m actually interested in your response to my question about direct affects on you from Trump.
I never said Socialism is great.As boosted has said all countries share Socialist Communist and Capitalist ideas. A true Government-run solely on one form of ideology will fall. All these forms want to ultimately be a utopia. Man uses these systems to seize power. He is essentially the one who corrupts the system. That is my point Examples are Russia Korea China they have had to add Capitalist ideas or risk losing power.
So Trump is horrible, the end of democracy, Hitler, etc. but you can’t name one way in which his administration has actually had a negative effect on your life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness. You can name all the hypotheticals thrown out by the media and you can at least say he’s been horrible on the abstract environment, so maybe that touches you, but no actual policy that has caused an adverse effect on your life.
Ok. So let me ask you something. If man is the problem in the system, Agent Smith, then would it make more sense to pick a system that diffuses power among many jurisdictions and individuals or one that consolidated power into a small centralized government.

In Todays Society no one government system is best. All can be corrupted, Man can consolidate all into one. Billionaires and huge Merging Companies are Examples of Capitalism unchecked. The Stock Market Controls many people's savings. Billionaires can buy political influence. Unregulated Capitalism Is as bad as Unregulated Socialism. We as citizens put to much trust in Companies to do the right thing. Trump's tax plan shows this. Most companies used that money on stock buybacks instead of saving it or spending it on Workers. Then when the Stock market fell the company lost value. Many since then have asked for Assistance. The Nation now needs a correction with more Socialist ideas. For 30 years we have allowed Capitalism to go unchecked and lessened regulations. Its time for a correction. The answer to your question is, We need a system of Government that can adapt both to Socialist and Capitalist ideas. While allowing freedoms to all. Both systems must be checked and not allow one to gain to much Power. Capitalism needs to be corrected now. All inner civil war or strife happens because one side gains too much and the other does not.
So Hitler created jobs...through government. While at the same time, he criticized certain segments of the population, demeaning them, blaming the countries woes upon them. The rich, they just ruin everything. Sound familiar?
Public education, where children are at school all day long, with state-funded and state-sponsored curriculum... convinced yet?
Do I really need to write commentary on this one? Really?
Here's what happened as a result:
Finally, Hitler just took the guns from Jews. An armed citizenry is a dangerous one, after all. Hitler even said this about guns in the hands of the people: "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms."
So excuse us Second Amendment supporters when we here Obama, Sanders and Clinton talking about regulating guns more than they're regulated today. Call us paranoid. We'll keep our guns.
Compare the Nazi's application of abortion to how Planned Parenthood (a government-funded organization) operates. Also read up on Margaret Sanger, who echoed much of Hitler's sentiment.
Despite that, Hitler insisted on taking their money...
And boycotting their businesses...
Review: Hitler demeaned the Jews. He blamed the economic and national depression on them. He instituted national boycotts of their business. He then took their money through taxes and outright looting. Hey, maybe they weren't paying their "fair share."
Compare the Gestapo with how leftists want to jail people who do not believe in man-made climate change. Compare the Gestapo to the Gaystapo, who fines people who do not agree with gay marriage or the gay lifestyle. Compare the Gestapo to liberal New York, which fines you for not using the right gender pronouns.
Trump has talked about a lot of things that he’s changed his mind on. He thinks out loud way too much. But thoughts aren’t actions. So answer the question. What policies enacted by the Trump administration have a negative effect upon you?I dont understand what you mean by hypotheticals. Trying to completely get rid of the ACA, including pre existing condition protections isnt a hypothetical, there is literally a court case ongoing as we speak. He has said he wants to permanently end the payroll tax, that isnt hypothetical. He hasnt done it yet, and likely wont be able to unless Republicans keep the senate and win the house, but he has made his intentions clear, that isnt a hypothetical.
Tracking regulatory changes in the Biden era
How much regulation is happening under the Biden administration? This tracker helps you monitor a selection of delayed, repealed, and new rules, notable guidance and policy implementations, and important court battles covering energy, health, labor, and more.
Here is an entire list. Some more important than others obviously, and some have been struck down in court, but if you are honestly interested, here is probably a few hours worth of reading you can do.
Still going to blame the tensions all on Trump? The hundreds of Democrats that have vehemently attacked Trump, and anyone right of center in general, over that time, including wishing that he’d die, bear no responsibility, right? Must be nice to be able to have a boogeyman to absolve you of all your sins.
Tell me when Trump used the US Government to lock up journalists for questioning him like his predecessor or a time where he said that he was going to write legislation through executive fiat, then did it and dared everyone to stop him, or how his followers are stifling free speech in our universities, our workplaces, our public squares, and across social media. Social pressure is fine for your example but they’re stifling legitimate viewpoints on economics, the nuclear family, and a great number of other things that are perfectly reasonable. Then we can talk about a rise in authoritarianism.
I can see nuance. I can also read your posts that are nuance-free and laser-focused on only mentioning Trump as being the issue.
You just summed up why I went from being a never trumper to a fan of his. Sure he had made mistakes and done things that I dont like, but he is the furthest thing from an authoritarian we've had since Coolidge.
I thought this post was going to be the Whitehouse insider
Trump Just Signed an Executive Order Letting Him Purge Thousands of Federal Workers for Disloyalty
Even if he loses, the action could sabotage a Biden administration indefinitely.www.vanityfair.com
Weird how the left is accusing Trump ahead of time of doing something they actually did 4 years ago. Seems like a pattern
Do you mean the NY Times's "high-ranking WH insider" that turned out to be nothing of the sort once he outed himself?
Trump's biggest problem is his lack of filter. He lets everyone know what he's thinking all the time. It gets him in trouble constantly. But once all of his thoughts and ideas get distilled through the process to actual action, it is far more considered, measured, and appropriate than whatever he was rambling on about in some off-the-cuff discussion.
You've GOT to be kidding!!! His large-scale campaign rallies with zero social distancing and few masks in high infection States is "considered, measured, and appropriate"?
