Topic	Do you honestly think Trump has done a good job?
Zeus 09/11/18 1:33:20 AM #14:	Considering he hasn't started any new wars yet, he's done better than many of the previous ones (although, if he really wanted a gold sticker, he would find a way to resolve some of the ongoing conflicts). That said, his foreign policy -- just like his predecessors -- leaves much to be desired. He's tried to do too much at once instead of gradually pushing issues. The thing I like about his administration is that it hasn't passed as many laws and most of his EOs have just been reversals of previous EOs. And I like the idea that we're going to get getting space marines, which can head off a zerg invasion. WastelandCowboy posted... He's done a good job at dividing the country and bringing the closeted homophobes, racists, and intolerant alt-right out into the open. Among countless other problems, pretty much everything you described actually happened under Obama who made race riots great again (Ferguson, Baltimore, etc). Prior to Obama, the last huge race riot happened under Clinton. Lil69Leo posted... BADoglick posted... I've disagreed with the majority of what he's done, the exception being the tax cuts that 'only benefitted the wealthy'. I got a 1000 dollar bonus, along with everyone else at my company, and minimum wage across the board was raised to fifteen an hour for all positions if you weren't already there. I was thrilled about the bonus, it really helped. That will cost you far more in the long run. While some of the benefits are temporary, they'll probably be extended when they're set to expire. BADoglick posted... More specifically I don't like the military spending, the anti immigration, the tariffs, the meddling in private businesses' affairs, the hyper nationalism, the Jeff Sessions pick for attorney general, his family serving as unelected bureaucrats, the Mike Pence selection for VP..... I can go on Enforcing immigration laws isn't being "anti-immigration." As for family serving in advisory roles, this has been true of many presidents who had adult children and relatives of high-ranking politicians have either served with or without appointment (which are unelected roles) in various capacities, dating back to the founding of our nation. John Quincy Adams, our sixth president, held multiple appointments during GW's and Adams's administrations. While I acknowledge that nepotism can be an issue (although the US has never had the kind of systemic problems that communist nations had with it), the idea that you should disregard individuals from service purely for being related to a politician is just foolishness. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:908514744] in Do you hon...
