Are Trump's Policies Destructive?

Just two:
1. Destroy international climate control accords - and unleash irreparable planetary damage.
2. Take medical care coverage from millions of Americans - a de facto attack on the poor.

Do you think is destructive?

I think that Obamacare was destructive, and I think that climate change proponents are over represented in the scientific community because they are much more likely to get funding. What happened to skepticism? Isn't that what science is based upon?

Any scientists that even suggests that more objective research is needed, is immediately ostracized by his terrified or brainwashed peers..
climate science is a glaring example of what goes wrong when politics guides scientific research.

no and you don't have your facts straight. he is not going to abolish obamacare, just make it work. i know firsthand it does NOT work. it was afalse promise to get votes. obama that is. the poor people that relied on obamacare only to find out it was not affordable, just available. are you on obamacare?

@Sacron22: Bull crap. The higher costs are due to the fact that we now have older, sick people covered--remember pre-existing conditions?-- while younger, well people have decided not to enroll in the plans because it's cheaper to pay the penalty. The cost of drugs has nothing to do with this.

health care costs to the government are out of control and WILL lead to a collapse of the government's ability to finance itself within the next decade, probably in less than seven years..
that's a fact...

Yes, Miss Katielass, I said that old v young was a reason for higher costs. Before you post again, please try to read the text to which you are responding. Okay? @Katielass:

It's always so entertaining to hear from those who either have not bothered to educate themselves to the facts or who refuse to accept them. Trump is not going to take insurance coverage away from anyone. And as for climate change crap, he's going to insist things be more fair. I mean as it stands now, china, the worlds largest polluter, is getting away with it and not doing a damn thing to help. As long as that continues, the rest of us can do everything in our power to change things but it will not make any difference. But it will put billions in the pockets of certain people.

I'm going to be very smug in 2017.

"So why aren't we just like nazi Germany yet?"

I'm getting the impression that Trump voters actually think he'll lower their health insurance premiums and bring jobs back! Sure he can, in the form of budget-busting subsidies, but even a GOP congress would no more approve such spending, any more than it will pay for a wall or a deportation force. At what point do Trump voters wake up and realize they just got had, and will be worse off 1, 2, 3, 4 years from now. (The fact that Trump has no actual plans or policies that add up or have any detail should have been their first clue.)

1-climate control accords are a silly dog and pony show, that might be making some people feel better emotionally, but they are having no physical effect on anything.
2- Obamacare is a disaster that is helping no one, .Trump is simply going to make it actually 'be' affordable, and maybe even functional.

Not to mention his education secretary is a total idiot, at least as far as her education policies go.

Well, there's your problem

@Invisible: I know, but I was hoping to make a point. The bottom line is this. The rabidly bitter left will demonize every last thing trump does no matter what. He could singlehandedly come up with a cure for cancer and they would bitch that he had the knowledge 10 years ago and intentionally let hundreds of thousands die.

KeasbeyNights · 31-35, M

@Katielass: Never said I was a fan of Obama's education policies either, don't assume. I don't think Arne Duncan or John King were effective in their test the kids to death and punish the teachers for not effectively teaching to the test regimes.

SW-User

More destructive policies than that. His immigration policies are destructive, his planned systematic disassembly of equal rights is destructive, his view on women's health is destructive, his policy on women in general is destructive in the workplace and globally...well, we have yet to see that carnival play out.

@Invisible: No links needed. Read the CV of any one of his suggested nominees and appointees.

@Oconnor: If you think that Trumps cabinet is a bunch of racist white supremacists, you've been watching fake news

SW-User

@Invisible: Nope. Wrong use of the term. "Fake news" is not the demonstrable and traceable record of these candidates going back in some cases decades. That's called history.

Boy, you sure know how to state a question in the most neutral terms possible.
If you check prior comments of mine, you'll see that I rarely "swear" but I need to be just a bit emphatic.
Why don't you get your head out of your ass and look at both those issues with a bit more discrimination and refinement?

Sacron22 · 56-60, M

You're right, I purposely phrased the questions to inspire reaction. I wasn't preparing postulates for a formal debate.
"Discrimination and refinement"? I understand these topics very well, having worked extensively in both arenas. I doubt most laymen/women have studied and contributed as much as I. If my statements are too simplistic for you... hmm... post somewhere else.

He can't repeal Obama care...
he needs a super majority in the Senate for repeal, it's written into the bill. He doesn't have it....

Invisible · 26-30, M

He's also planning to do that "add one kill two" policy for legislature which I think will be the key to getting rid of all the crappy deals and policies that we need to redo

Sacron22 · 56-60, M

Yes, I know he can't 'kill' ACA alone. But in his words, "Get rid of ObamaCare, we'll come up with new plans. But, we should keep preexisting conditions." So, it's his policy (in a large sense). It is potentially destructive.

Sacron22 · 56-60, M

Thanks for the hearts.
