And if that’s the best you can come up with, you can’t think of anything either.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

In other words, you can’t think of anything, neither can I.

But it really is a question for American people isn't it? They are the ones to have judged the last four years and the opening two and a half weeks (yep it's only been that!) of his presidency.

On that, more people have a favourable opinion than not.

There is no real economic data out, so can't really judge that.

I should imagine views are mixed, but I would bet most like this

And despite his ways I should imagine many welcome the bids to stem the tide of Fentanyl given it kills 70,000 odd Americans a year.

There will be things they don't like too and it's all too early to see if any of it works.

But again, this idea that we have to have a view on him that is all good or all bad is just daft

God bless CCMB eh, where pointing out an opinion poll is weird and comparing someone to mass murdering maniacs is normal 😅

You’ve changed your tune because you started this strand of the thread when you asserted that Trump really does care for his base who, we’re told, include very many of the downtrodden working class - all I’m doing is asking what has he done for them, not just in his second term, but his first one as well?

Again, it really is up to them, not you or I. There is plenty you can read up on it.

But not withstanding COVID, I gather the economy did alright, wasn't hit by high inflation etc. Theyno doubt like his cultural arguments, perhaps they feel safer, like the focus on the stronger borders etc.

I don't think when you look at it Trump has done that great. But people were pissed with Biden and Trump offered an optimistic vision for many.

Have to see how he does won't we!

Re: The Donald Trump thread

About time we got back to discussing money laundering in the Donald Trump thread. Cheers, Mozzer.

Now to join the dots: Florida real estate deals. Inflated values. Russian oligarchs. Cash injection for failing Trump businesses. Totally legal or a swamp of fraud and corruption? Hmmmm….

wow talk about changing the subject !

The USA taxpayers were being taken for a ride . Now DOGE are after the Education department and even the pentagon

Trump now revokes Biden's security clearance with immediate effect mind you i don't agree with that
