Illegal Immigration: 37,660 people were deported in Trump's first month in office, including both removals and returns, far less than the monthly average of 57,000 deportations under Biden in 2024. Did it ever occur to you deportations are down because fewer illegals are sneaking across the border? Biden enacted tougher policies near the end of the election cycle in the attempt to save the Democrats from a defeat. It didn’t work. Border crossings are at an all time low . The CBP reports apprehensions on the south west border are down 85%. long time agents say they’ve never seen it this low. There’s a lot of things you can criticize Trump about but don’t start off thinking you’re gonna win an argument about the legal immigration comparing Trump to Biden because you won’t ..
I'm not going to win any argument with someone incapable of critical thinking. With over 11 million illegals, there are plenty to find. If Trump was really being successful, he should be beating Biden's numbers (period). Failed campaign promise (or lie). I'll give him 1 point for reducing the number of new illegals.
Tariffs: Impact will hit wallets full force in 2nd quarter. So much for lowering inflation. Let’s just make it worse. Any jobs that might come from higher tariffs are years away if they materialize at all. There’s been no impact from tariffs on the US economy yet. What effect they will or won’t be know fora while. It’s all just partisan guesswork at this point. As far as I can tell from reading your entire post, the only thing you’re right about is to just wait and see what effect tariffs have.
This response is just plain stupid. It's not partisan guess work - it's simple economics and it's been explained by economists from all sides of the spectrum. Input costs go up, prices go up. It doesn't take much research to see what past tariff wars did. Expecting a different result doing the same thing is the definition of insanity.
DOGE: Love the initiative, but the draconian recklessness way things are being done serves no one. And over half the reported savings can’t be substantiated or rely on misinformation. everyone says they love the initiative, but the recklessness is out of control. But every president, every senator, congressman says the same thing, we’ve got to get under control, cut spending, waste, and fraud but nobody does anything. This is the only way to get it done.
Spending cuts should be done in Congress. Is it retarded what happens in Congress, YES. But DOGE for all it's hype will go down as a failure and destabilizing mistake.
Signalgate: How many deflections and outright lies can they come up with? Playing semantics - they weren’t “war plans”, they were just “top secret military plans”. Mike Waltz should be fired. What a dumbass. Calls himself a "National Security Advisor”. Pete Hegseth doesn’t even know what “classified information” is… More semantics = "Not Classified" just "Sensitive". it was careless and a mistake not to pay attention who wad involved in the chat, but there was very little chance US lives were put in jeopardy and what’s rarely mentioned in the mission was a complete success. This is just a lot of Democrats screaming and trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. It was bad, but it’s just a mole hill. That’s it.
Classic response - Dems making a mountain out of a mole hill (open your eyes). You can't defend stupidity with "Nobody got hurt." We're lucky the info didn't fall into the really wrong hands. And what's in place to prevent it from happening again? Waltz is bafoon and needs to go. The app should be customized and privatized for gov't use and data retention.
I’ll mostly skip the Ukraine/Russia war. But not sending a clear message to Putin Russia that they need to back off and restore Ukraine is just plain weak. Instead of helping Ukraine at least negotiate from a position of strength or neutrality, we’ve left them to hang. Trump is the only one trying to end the war. Everyone else is living under the delusion Ukraine can win. Why? 1) maybe they don’t want to confront the reality and 2) maybe they’re making money off of it.
Trump is NOT the only one trying to end the war. Open youer eyes. And if that is true, letting Ukraine die to end the war is the act of a coward. And it just reinforces to Putin that he can break whatever pacts have been made and he'll get away with it.
Failing on so many fronts.
we are thriving, we’re not failing anywhere. If they held another election right now, Trump would beat any Democrat. Democrats just simply don’t understand reality. Right now your three most popular people touring the country, are Bernie Sanders, AOC and klutz Tim Waltz. Seriously, how f’d up are you if you think those three appeal to the majority of the country. They don’t..
