I copied from another site but I agree 100%.

I'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts.

1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.

2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.

3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.

4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.

5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.

6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.

7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.

8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!

9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.

10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.

11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.

12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electoral vote. Get over it. More than half the country voted for him, he deserves respect. Period.

I'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts.

1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.

This is your opinion, specifically that those who put Trump in the White House are pulling the economic weight in this country. But I would be interested in how you came up with this "thought".

2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.

No clear explanation why you're connected this "copied" thought of yours to Trump. But as a matter of fact, not every business in the country is hiring. Would you like a list of the top businesses laying people off? Microsoft, Meta, Google, SalesForce, Intel, Boeing, GM, the bicycle shops in town...

3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has published numerous articles and video reports on the topic of green card holders being deported, highlighting various aspects of the issue. These articles often focus on the legal and political implications of such deportations, as well as the personal stories of individuals affected.

The New York Times, The Washington Post, even Fox News reported the news. These are facts, no matter what opinion, but you know what they say: you're entitled to your own opinion, but that's not fact.

4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.

Tariffs can be used as part of a strategy, or as a tactic. But they are a think you use in lieu of a sound economic policy. So far, everything Trump said has not happened, starting with the 200 deals, coming any minute now. And there is no strategy in place.

5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.

Claiming that the Civil Rights Act ended discrimination is false. It took advocacy from various groups to make things better, but pretending that those who want DEI to be gone, because they reject discrimination, is stretching it too far.

6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.

Why do you think center and left of center don't care about how it's spent?

7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.

I did not get any money from the government either, because Trump decided that the Government is not going to help with the damage caused by the Bomb Cyclone. but I get what you'e saying "we should be taking their money, and if something bad befell them, then screw them".

8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!

That's a word salad and doesn't mean anything. Perhaps you can start by educating yourself on the topic?


9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.

Is this a self reflection? Has it occurred to you that this is why people are criticizing Trump. Is the latter one of those thoughts you did not copy?

10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.

If it were that simple, there would be no reason for people to argue the issue. The more accurate thought is: it's complicated and there are cases where this is a non issue and there are cases where this is.


11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.

Is this a reminder for yourself? Education is also to teach kids how to grow up to be independent thinkers, and not evolve.


12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electoral vote. Get over it. More than half the country voted for him, he deserves respect. Period.

49% of the votes is not a landslide. It really doesn't take much brain to figure this one out. A current around 40% approval rating also does not indicate that people agree what he's doing.

@Northwest bla bla bla...... you are wrong.....you must be a liberal dem and not trusting true facts
trollslayer · 46-50, M
@Northwest look at your response. I congratulate you on your debate win. @Midlifemale could have responded with a loud reverberating fart and it would have been more intelligent.
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
Thank you for that...just pure simple honest truth of current politics and this country.
The democrats will turn any good honest truth into a lie to benefit them, just like the replies you will get denouncing your post.
I'll be enjoying the next 4 years of politics and bringing this country back to life

@basilfawlty89 why you post a pic of your brother??
Nope.

12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electoral vote.

Here's reality


That's NOT a "landslide"; if 0.75% of the electorate had voted the other way, it would have been a tie. lol

Here are some landslides in the popular vote margin (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_elections_by_popular_vote_margin):

Election Winner Pop Marg
1936 Franklin D. Roosevelt 24.26%
1972 Richard Nixon 23.15%
1800 Thomas Jefferson 22.86%
1964 Lyndon B. Johnson 22.58%
1904 Theodore Roosevelt 18.83%
1984 Ronald Reagan 18.21%
1832 Andrew Jackson 17.81%
1932 Franklin D. Roosevelt 17.76%
1928 Herbert Hoover 17.41%
1956 Dwight D. Eisenhower 15.40%

More than half the country voted for him, he deserves respect. Period.

NO, less than half of those who voted voted for him.

And with a turnout of only 64.1% of registered voters, he only had

0.641 * 0.498 = 0.319

or 31.9% of the country voting for him...

lmao
Well, @oldguy73, the OP copied it from somewhere (as he openly said) and this last one gets to a point which has been made here (erroneously) many times.

But it's not the only of the 12 points which are wrong.

Of course, you'd have to question and actually research what has been put up i order to know this.

Clearly, of the two of us, one had the right instinct on this.

Hmmmm...

@SomeMichGuy You can nitpick wording, but the bottom line is, HE WON!
@fanuc2013 It's not nitpicking when someone says

"it was a landslide" when it was NOT,

or

"half the country voted for him" when this is ALSO not true.

Yes, he won. And he's already destroyed our international reputation to the point that we have our best trading partners actively decoupling from us.

He is the front man for the longtime Republican dream of dismantling Social Security and Medicare (public pensions & healthcare), but his unhinged, unplanned, ill-conceived economic directives have trashed PRIVATE pensions, too (IRAs, etc.)

Is that good for America or Americans?
I disagree with #8, #11, and #12. the rest I have no real problem with.

I'm a Californian, and I too am tired of my tax dollars going to support lazy people in the red states who can't seem to make enough to even support themselves much less contribute anything of value to the country.
Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted.

Nope. The election was so close that Trump won a relative majority, not an absolute majority. The majority of people voted for someone other than Trump. And he's quickly losing support because, while we all knew his second term would be even worse, nobody knew it would be this bad.

Perfectly stated, couldn't agree more.
Eeyore122 · 36-40, F
I respect his position. I respect him on the " he is another human." I do not and will not respect him. His behavior doesn't deserve it. You clearly only care about money. Or people.
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
@Eeyore122 Oh ..you're one of them...and clearly, the previous administration did not care about money..that's why the handouts were frivolous and we have a $36 trillion dollar debt and queers running the country....that all STOPS NOW !
Why is it that the democrats love PRIDE month...but we just have Mother's DAY and Father's DAY and Veterans DAY and presidents DAY....those people should be given honor more than a day.

In fact the majority of America DID NOT want trump. The vote breakdown was 31% Harris, 32% Trump...........34% of all eligible voter's did not vote at all. Trump won because 34% of people of America didn't bother to vote.......not because we all love him.

The rest of your "points" are cult rally talking points too....ALL just as wrong as "we all wanted trump". And just as much of a waste of time to answer. The cult....is the cult and Orange Jesus is faultless and he the truth and the way and the life.....................to you all. And anything else said to debunk cult lies and brainwashing is fake news.

By now..........after one term of the worst president in U.S. history.........and already he's polling even lower than last time.............the ONLY ones that thinks he's not a liar and fraud..........is the cult.
IM5688 · 61-69, M
@anythingoes477 So, if the majority of Americans did not want Trump, then what you are actually stating is that the majority of Americans wanted Harris. If that were truly the case, Harris would president now.
@IM5688 A lot of Americans voted for a third party. There are also lots of Americans who didn't vote because they hated both main candidates.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@anythingoes477 If anyone didn't vote, then they obviously don't care!
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted.

Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electoral vote.

As others have pointed out that's blatanty false. Might I suggest you take remedial math?
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@ron122 no mate, I didn't. You lost. At life.
ron122 · 41-45, M
@basilfawlty89 You go on and believe that if it makes you feel better.🤣
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@ron122 I didn't need your permission. And I'll go on believing facts. You go on believing "alternative facts".
luckranger71 · 51-55, M

Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.

😂😂. 1000% wrong. The economic weight of this country is pulled by the hard working folks in blue states. Which basically subsidize everywhere else. But keep telling yourself fairy tales so you can sleep at night.
Cabernetfranc · 80-89, M
Actually less than 30% of the country voted for Trump which was slightly more than voted for Harris. That was about 76.8 million for Trump and 74.3 million for Harris. A far greater 85.9 million eligible voters did not vote for either one or did not vote.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
Well said!!!
iamthe99 · 36-40New
Trump may be the president, but he did not win by a landslide, and less than half the country voted for him. And FAR less than half the country currently think he's doing a good job.
