I notice you have gracefully bowed out of the Trump portion of this conversation. That was wise. It wasn’t going to end well for you. Good lad
The epidemic of white male suicide

I was going by this statement: "Suicide attempts are between two and four times more frequent among females.[9][10][11]"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide
Apparently, there is no universal method to collect suicide attempts and the numbers vary.

Nah. Unlike you this isn't a zero sum game for me. I support tax cuts, deregulation and the Gorsuch appointment. I notice you left out the spending portion of my comment because there is no excuse for it. You just want to leave everything else out that encompasses what the President does and the Presidency is about. And you do so because his actions are what you have railed against with others in the past. So now you try the "its about your feelings" approach which you know is b.s. But that's what you do when you defend a cult of personality.
Trump has spoken about BAD trade deals, and Chines quotas, and intellectual property theft.
He's not there to expound on the "sanctity" ( the way free traders think about free trade) -
but to fix the crappy deals the free traders got us into..
NAFTA is being hammered out. US Chinese trade talks are just beginning..
Free Trade is no good without fair trade.
You should blame Paul Ryan for the crappy budget deal. He threw away all his years of service
and emphasis on debt reduction with that turkey, and left Trump in the position of veto it and do great political harm
( and harm to military readiness)...for what? It was Swamp move on his part
Apparently, this is not just a U. S. trend:
"Across Europe, men are around four times more likely to die by suicide than women. More men in the UK have died by suicide in the past year than all British soldiers fighting in all wars since 1945. According to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, what they categorise somewhat obliquely as “intentional self harm or events of undetermined intent” account for over 1% of all deaths, killing three times more people than road accidents, more than leukaemia, more than all infectious and parasitic diseases combined. More than 6,000 people in the UK died by suicide in 2013; 78% of them were men."
In Europe hanging is the most common method of suicide for both men and women.

Trump doesn't care about spending. He'll do a deal, any deal (then complain after the fact). Now there are plenty of conservatives who pay lip service to fiscal conservatism and then vote to spend like mad once in office. But Trump has shown zero desire to cut spending. It's because he doesn't care. There's nothing conservative about that.
maybe it's the opposite of "white privilege"
just kidding..LMAO at the ridiculous PC terms that Dems take seriously..
My fingers crossed for you mate, hoping for good news.
Looking forward to see you continue to participate here, and hoping you get your health back on track.

I get that you are a Trump supporter. Fair enough, to each his own. We are talking about this from a conservative perspective. There's been nothing conservative about Trump's trade talk or his current actions. And trying to compare's the tariffs Reagan implemented and his rhetoric and saying its similar to Trump's is just false.
Trump doesn't care - correct. he's more focused on economic growth no matter how we get there
But who is more important in making budget deals? Do you think Congress?
Trump was YUGELY dissapointed in what Ryan laid at his feet, leaving Trump with little choice but to sign it.
The blame is 98% laid on Congress who negotiated that fiasco

No disrespect you are missing what we are discussing here.
I'm talking about it from a conservative perspective - but not a stale dead conservatism- but from a populist
p.o.v who want a POTUS to stand up what's best in international trading.
Free Trade is the way to go, but relying on the WTO to curb Chinese abuses is a fools game.
If you want unfair trade practices to be solved, then do something about it. you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs
it woldn't be the first time conversations wander. But out of respect, i'm out of it then
But easily understandable when you read posts from people who claim they will be happy when older white people die off.
Because society puts extreme pressure on white males to be the "leaders" and succeed. Also they are vilified by liberals and SJW alike. Constantly blaming young whites for the ills of their ancestors. Though no fault of their own. Its not a surprise after taking so much societal abuse.
So there is no privilege then. ARe you that dumb?
Nope. In any thinking person's world, your post was utter horseshit. Destroys the concept of "No such thing as a stupid question".
