I think we can safely look back at this moment and say "wow, that whole 4 years was a complete waste of time and a joke". He spoke to a lot of people about how bad the government is and people agreed, but he clearly has no clue on what he is doing. Whenever he doesn't get his way, he goes and cries about it on twitter. Like, ok you are going to have life struggles and you are going to get a lot of bad press...it happens when you have a lot of people who expect a lot of results.

The only support you can really give him is a pat on the back. Because he does a better job as a reality tv star than a real estate mogul and president combined.

@JarJarBoom

Waste of 4 years ? There’s about 10 more pages if you care to see them.


Open borders, loss of national sovereignty , loss of all private insurance , much higher taxes , and a free living for anyone that’s not an American ( illegals)??? Now that’s a waste of time

@TexChik See thats the thing, you can post all these statistics but can you really give him credit for that? Like for unemployment...that trend was going on way before his election. The employment shot up after the housing crisis and when the economy recovered under a different administration jobs were being created.

@JarJarBoom did any of that exist under Obama ? Absolutely not ! Obama famously said that US manufacturing jobs were lost forever , that American exceptionalism was just a myth and that the hey day of America was gone . He said the best put econony could do would be maybe 1.5 % growth and that Trump would need a magic wand to get 3.5-4 %. Guess who had the magic wand ?

@TexChik jobs always come back in a post-recession recovery, once again I don't see and can't give him all the credit for job growth since this trend was happening anyway before he took office.

@TexChik Obama said that the manufacturing boom was lost forever, and he was right. Just like the Steel industry. So now we are seeing a rise in high tech, and some low paying hospitality retail jobs today. The unemployment rate when from 10% to 5%. And Trump realize that he could do it faster by deregulating the system and lowering taxes. That is all that happened. Nothing significant like raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
Or cutting huge income tax checks so that people can get almost all of their money. So again, he is just a piggyback President. And the areas that has not seen the light of day since the 1990's are starting to see some change.

@JarJarBoom the 96 million out of the work force was the largest number in out history and directly. Attributed to Obama . Whether you like it or not , Trump is a good president and has been good for this country . A year in Venezuela might open your eyes to what you vote for .

@Zonuss sorry Charlie but manufacturing is back and the jobs are back . Refusing to accept facts doesn’t make it any less fact ... Apple is likely to be back after the end of the year ... no one will be able to afford their phones with the huge tariffs coming China’s way in January .

@TexChik Lets revisit this discussion 10 years from now and reflect about the time dates and statistics. Personality wise, I don't really care for him. He seems to be the person who wants to surround himself with "Yes Men".

@JarJarBoom President’s don’t surround themselves with people who argue . He’s brash and bold and gets things done in the most negative corrupt congress in history . The Saturday are pretty clear now ... 10 years from
Now Venezuela will have had their civil war and gone back to prosperity

@TexChik No it is not. We lost over 60,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000. The recession was massive. And with 1,000 retail stores closing this year its proof that this new age economy is not what it use to be. Small town mom and pop businesses are not the same. And even the record industry is in decline because the culture even has changed from what it was since the previous century. Trump should be called the 'exaggerator' n chief because he is a liar.
Simple and plain. But of course you are dumb enough to believe him. 🙂

@TexChik Any leadership role should have opposers. If everyone agrees with you, whats the point? Sometimes you gotta hear an opposing viewpoint in order to make the right decision.
