Look I have supported Donald Trump since before he even announced as a candidate.
I support the guy. That said, until now he has NOT come through for me yet, on the two most important issues, to me.
1) The fence and immigration. Particularly the fence. I realize there are a whole passel of people who are invested in the sell-out of America by illegal immigration, but that is very important to me, and thus far, I am not satisfied with Trump (yet)
2) Global trade. Again, nothing.
I know it is very early. But Trump has not yet delivered on these two issues, and they are the two I am most concerned about. Not all the others. Those two.
Nothing yet.
Since he’s not delivered yet, I am willing to take a look in other directions.
The Rock is another direction.
It is still very very early. But he’s something possibly significant.
Maybe.
Maybe not. But maybe. I had the same feeling about Trump a long time ago.
In the meantime Trump, if you happen to read this, work on those two things please.
For real.
The wall. And global trade.
OK I’m through for now. Have a good one.
As far as the wall.
For me that’s easy.
I work in construction.
I KNOW what it takes to get a project going.
First you have to have and goal of what you want your project to be.
Then you have to have different project ideas.
From there you go into actual design.
From there you get bids.
Then you get material and start building.
It can take 2 years from the beginning of stages of design ideas, to breaking ground.
Just a few weeks ago, it was reported that over 600+ companies are submitting ideas and making bids.
SIX HUNDRED
That’s a lot of manpower focusing on a project that hasn’t even been finalized yet.
As far as global trade, that has yet to be played out.
But I like the course so far.
Let’s start at the beginning for global trade.
International relationships.
When Obama took office, his first foreign dignitary to visit him was Taro Aso from Japan, on February 24.
35 days in to Obamas term.
Compare Trump
January 27, 7 days in for Trump, Theresa May from the UK visited Trump.
2 weeks later, February 10-12, Abe, from Japan visited Trump at the White House and stayed at Mar-A-Lago for a 3 day visit.
The day after Abe leaves, Trudeau from Canada arrives on February 13.
Two days after that, Benjamin Netanyahu from Israel, comes to the White House.
On February 24, Kuczynski of Peru came to the White House.
By this date in office, Obama had 18 foreign leader visitors to the White House.
Trump has had 22.
Abe from Japan visited for 3 days
Jinping from China for 2 days.
For 25 days of foreign leaders visiting Trump.
Zero had zero days of multi day visits.
Trumps first foreign trip was to the Mid East, where he was treated like royalty. This wasn’t a bowing tour.
From that trip there were “promises” of trade made. That was a month ago. We’ll see how that plays out.
Trump also had a very successful trip to Europe for the G20.
FORGET what the MSM tells you what happened there.
Watch videos for yourself.
Watch how foreign leaders act around Trump.
Trump is the big man on campus and leaders love being around him.
NATO nations are kicking in more for THEIR defense. That there is global trade. Other countries spending more, so that we don’t have to.
When government leaders like or respect another foreign leader, deals are made.
The US is back.
We are large and in charge, because of Trump.
People have confidence/respect in us as a leader nation, so that will automatically mean more trade.
All that takes time to play out.
You’re on the internet.
Look up the economic conditions of the US under Reagan.
It took 2 years before things started moving.
THEN they just started to take off.
Mexico and Canada have already agreed to sit down with Trump to discuss NAFTA.
These are important and busy men, just as Trump is.
They go to foreign contries and foreign visitors come to them.
It takes time to work out schedules.
In that time, advisors meet with their leaders to discuss what they want, what they think others will want and what they are willing to fudge on.
We might not see Trump talking with Trudeau or Nieto.
It doesn’t mean things aren’t already happening behind the scene.
No offense, but this comes off as either mental illness, or a half-assed attempt to poison the well here against Donald. You have an issue with Trump over immigration (because you are such a purist), so you are looking at the Rock, who has publicly said he wants free immigration, and the Donald’s position is morally wrong? And you have said upstream that you know this, but we should still look at the Rock because Donald is so wishy washy?
The Rock is a only a personality, with no deep well of talent to draw upon, which means he will need to solicit help from somewhere to9 staff an admin. He will be, at best, an establishment figurehead, running an admin of establishment hacks, all of which are bent on supporting Cuckservatism over pro-Americanism.
Waste of time.
“The Rock is another direction.”
Straight into the toilet.
