He insults people. It's negative and divisive. Hurts the nation. Causes hatred, amplifies racism.
He does insult people; I won't deny that. I've noticed that he usually does so as a "counter-punch", though, rather than being the instigator. Many liberals insult him though, too... The insults fly both ways. Usually, liberals start it, then Trump finishes it. Trump also knows that any little thing he says or does gets liberals in a tizzy, and then uses that knowledge to troll them. I find it funny.
Why is he wrong for this nation? He makes polarization worse not better. He does not uphold the constitution. His EOs have been ruled unconstitutional.
It's liberals who are polarizing and divisive. Affirmative Action is divisive, feminism is divisive, using the court system to circumvent the Constitution is divisive, liberal cities attempting to control the conservative boonies is divisive, censoring and/or shutting down conservative speech is divisive, black lives matter is divisive, Antifa is divisive, gun grabbing/regulating/etc. is divisive, forcing social issues such as abortion and gay marriage down everyone's throats is divisive, attempting to shut down public displays of Christianity is divisive, ... ... ...
You are entitled to your views about liberals but that has no bearing on why this nasty president is inappropriate.
I'm saying that liberals tend to be the ones who actually keep picking out certain people and dividing them from the rest... They keep acting like blacks and hispanics are so downtrodden and stupid and need government assistance in order to be anything in life (I'd be insulted if I were a black or hispanic)... They keep dividing women from men... They keep dividing rich from poor... They keep dividing city from country... They keep dividing Christians from Atheists... ... ... ...
No, it's not. I'm quite literally saying that Trump isn't a consistently negative person and that liberals are actually the ones who are being consistently negative.
More whataboutism. It doesn't justify the president.
Again, no it's not. I'm quite literally saying that Trump isn't hurtful and divisive, and that liberals are actually the ones who are being hurtful and divisive. I've provided examples of liberal divisiveness. You haven't provided any for why you think Trump is divisive... My argument, essentially, is that liberals are projecting their own issues onto Trump.
He has gone about it the wrong way. He doesn't deal.
Yes, he does.
That's sometimes part of the overall dealing process.
He started a trade war. That doesn't help anybody.
China started it. He is deciding to finally fight back instead of continuing to fold over like a cheap tent as past Presidents have done...
And he has had to resort to socialism to make impacted farmers whole.
Farm subsidies have been around since the Great Depression days (I think?), so it's not like this is anything new on Trump's part ... But yes, Trump has continued the pattern. That's one area where I am not in line with the President. I am not a fan of government subsidies of any kind.
I can't address that which you do not present. You say Trump is causing people to be dysfunctional. Explain what you mean by that...
He has admitted he is messed up. He said it was because his father rode him so hard as a kid.
I'm not familiar with this story, but I wouldn't be surprised if Trump has gone through such issues. Plenty of people have had the displeasure of experiencing childhood issues that needed sorting out later in life. Ten years into my adulthood and I am still trying to sort out some deep rooted issues from my childhood. At least Trump, like myself, has identified where [insert issue here] stemmed from, and has worked hard to break free from the shackles of it now that he has identified where [insert issue here] stems from. That's self-reflection; that's trying to improve oneself through the gaining of knowledge. I commend Trump for that.
Trump is a very sad man. If he was happy he wouldn't have to cheat on his wives.
I don't know why his first two marriages dissolved, nor do I care. He seems quite happy with this marriage, though. Good for him.
Plenty of money but still can't enjoy life. He is the perfect example of why money doesn't buy happiness.
He seems to be enjoying life to me. He seems quite happy with being a successful businessman, TV personality, and now President. He seems to get along quite well with his wife and children. He seems to be very driven in various goals that he wants to accomplish.
Once again, not whataboutism. I've addressed your claim that Trump is full of hate (by explaining how he doesn't seem to be full of hate). You haven't provided any examples of Trump's "hate" for me to comment on. I've then made the counterpoint that, once again, liberals are projecting their own issues onto Trump, and provided examples of such hatred and vitriol.
If he was a positive force he would have approval over 70% with this economy.
Approval ratings (even assuming that they aren't the joke that they are) are completely unrelated to how "positive" a person is. Would you say Obama was much more "positive" than Trump is? Obama, during much of his Presidency, especially his 2nd term, had approval ratings quite similar to Trumps (low to mid 40s). So Obama was just as "negative" as Trump, then? What about George W Bush, who reached an approval rating as high as 90% after the events of 9/11. Was he super-duper positive?? What about George W Bush towards the end of his 2nd term when his approval rating dipped down as low as 25%? Did he become super-duper negative during the last bit of his Presidency?? Must've been much more negative than Trump, since Trump's approval rating has never dipped anywhere near that low...
How could any president have an economy like this and not even get half the nation to approve of him. He's messed up.
See above. Also, no other President in the history of this country has ever had such a level of hatred and vitriol directed his way.
And if you don't believe it he will be the first to tell you how great he is for the country. If really was, he wouldn't have to keep carrying on about it.
He's proud of what he's accomplished. He actually HAS accomplishments to talk about. Good for him.
All propped up by out of control deficit. Tax the rich enough to eliminate the deficit and THEN let's see how things are doing. That would be the responsible thing to do. You sure can't lower the deficit during a recession. If it can't be done now, when can it EVER?
It is not possible to "tax the rich" out of deficit (let alone debt). Spending cuts, and I mean SEVERE spending cuts, must be made in order to reverse course. If spending doesn't get cut significantly, then there's no way out, no matter how much you "tax the rich"...
Wrong. The media is the same media, serving the nation, building reputation.
The media is a propaganda tool for the left, building up leftist viewpoints while tearing down conservative viewpoints... talking over and at conservatives while only being respectful towards other leftists. That's not journalism. That's propaganda.
It only LOOKS liberal to the far right because EVERYTHING looks liberal to the far right.
More projection... This is actually, once again, a liberal issue. This is why they hate Fox News so much, even though it is not "hardcore conservative" by any means. They've even started to hate other "liberals" and "centrists" since they view them as "alt-right" and "right-wing extremists" since those people happen to be quite a bit right from their extremely far left leanings. They think they are the center, but they are really so far left they are almost falling off of the scale.
And he thinks that is going to help him bring peace to the region? Nothing could have angered Palestinians more.
Jerusalem is Israel's capital; It ought to be recognized as such. There's never going to be peace in that region. Temporary faux peace? Sure... True peace? No...
Most illegal immigrants overstay visas. The wall is a feel-good project aimed at the uninformed. It's a waste of money.
It will greatly assist border patrol. Walls work.
The tax break was irresponsible.
I like less money being stolen from me.
We need to reduce the deficit.
Yes, we do. In order to do that, we must GREATLY reduce spending... I think Ron Paul took this issue more seriously than most, if not all, recent politicians.
Trump has consistently chosen the wrong way to go at almost EVERY instance. And he has done so with hurtful vitriol. He has no respect for people unlike him and he has no respect for people LIKE him because he has no respect for himself.
More projection of liberal issues onto Trump...
