So you say you are one of the few who 'know their ass from the ground' because you actually believed Trump's ridiculous promise to pay off the national debt, and that now you are not bothered in the least because he is doing the opposite of what he promised.
HAHA, I see your keen logical skills haven't faded a bit.
Maybe if Trump wasn't so scared of Pelosi he would run up less debt.
Trump agrees to short-term funding, debt package [with Schumer & Pelosi) The Hill ^ | 09/06/2017 |
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) spoke to President Trump by phone on Thursday and asked him to issue a tweet reassuring young undocumented immigrants that they won’t be deported in the next six months.
Trump tweeted Thursday morning, “For all of those (DACA) that are concerned about your status during the 6 month period, you have nothing to worry about — No action!”

Trump talked most about getting the spending under control and paying down the debt. You have chosen to address one of the times when he did address paying off the debt, but I would have to see the exact wording even then to agree with the foundational premise here.
You are operating under a premise you have come up with in what passes for your brain. Sadly, it's a false premise. I doubt many (perhaps none at all) of Trump's supporters voted for him because he said he'd pay off the full federal debt. I do think folks voted for him knowing he'd do his best to cut spending, increase numbers of people working, cut taxes, and double or triple the federal tax recepts. This would impact the nation's fiscal debt significantly. It would bring us back from the brink and closer to fiscal solvency.
We have addressed the fact that Trump has now signed his third Continuing Resolution. What this means, is that in his first 7.5 months, Trump has not signed a long term Continuing Resolution. He is trying to hold Congress' feet to the fire, to get them to reduce spending and head in the direction of a balanced budget. This is totally lost on folks like you, who seem to have a vested interest in looking for the worst things they can find about Trump, blowing them out of shape, or mis-interpreting them to fit the worst case scenario..
This outlook of his supporters was reasoned. Let's look at what you expected, to see if that was reasoned. You say we were gullible. Let's see how gullible you were.
You have taken Trump to taske for failure to strike down DADA day one. You have takent him to task for signing Continuing Resolutions which continue to allow the debt to rise. You bought off on the idea he'd stop funding Planned Parenthood day one. You actually bought off on the idea Trump would do these things on day one. Talk about a gullible fool. I don't know many adults over 18 that are this stupid.
Trump could have struck down DACA on day one. Is that what a true Conservative would hope for? No. Why? If Trump struck it down with an E.O., the very next president could undo his E.O. with one of their own. This is what Obama set up most of his actions as president to do, be sunsetted as soon as he left office. Trump did strike many of those things down, but with DACA he didn't want the next president to be able to undo his actions.
Trump could have come up with some E.O. on day one that would have addressed PP funding, and would have been challenged in the courts. Would that have been wise?
He put Congress on notice that DACA was being sunsetted in 180 days. Congress has to act. Further, it allows Trump the ability to use his Veto Pen if he doesn't like the bill. Trump has kept his options open, while putting Congress on the spot.
He has let it be known he wants to stop funding Planned Parenthood. Has Congress followed through on that? It worked on a bill that did defund PP, but then let it die. Trump advocated for the bill.
Did you describe it this way? No. It was more important to you to trash talk Trump yet again. You have done that since about one month after he was sworn into office. You will continue it for the duration.
Please tell us who you think would be more in tune with our views than Trump.
Maybe if Trump wasn't so scared of Pelosi he would run up less debt.

Not mentioned by you is the bill the Repubicans wanted to pass. It would have extended the Debt Ceiling by five times the amount of time. The bill he signed involved a roughly three month CR. The bill the Republicans wanted him sign was a 15 month CR. It would have required five times the three month debt ceiling increase. And you try to cast this as a Leftist move by Trump. Evidently you are under the mistaken impression a five times bigger CR approval, would have been more Conservative. Ignorance is evidenly bliss for you...House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) spoke to President Trump by phone on Thursday and asked him to issue a tweet reassuring young undocumented immigrants that they won’t be deported in the next six months.

These supposed gotch moments you list here are childlike do to their lack of significance, and your obvious delight that you think you have just scored big. Rather pathetic...
What is wrong with Trump stating a fact, that DACA candidates will not be deported until after the 180 days? This was a clarification that was called for, and it's a reasoned thing to do to explain how the president's policy affects these people now.
We don't need to be as vindictive or mean as we can be, to maintain the semblence of law and order, and work toward resolving this issue.
As we talk about the 800,000 or so people on DACA, the flow over the border has been cut by 70-80%. That means that in just one year Trump will have been responsible for cutting border crossings by 1.0 to 2.0 times the number of people on DACA. Didn't see you mention that.
Trump has also awarded preliminary approvals for mock-ups of border wall concepts. Those are going to be moving foward in the next few months.
Trump has demonstrated that he is serious about the problems of illegal immigration. You turd in the bunch bowl attitude not withstanding.
Why is it you attack Trump so much? Tell us who you think would be far ahead of what he has accomplished in his first 7.5 months. I'm curious to see who you come up with.
