Hey, Trump haters (on both sides) could you just admit that this is a successful presidency?

"All he had time for was celebrities, and now suddenly he's acting like he's a populist out there," former President Obama once said. "'Man, I'm going to fight for working people.' ... Come on, man!"

And former Vice President Joe Biden said the following at the Democartic National Convention in 2016: "He’s trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. Give me a break! That’s a bunch of malarkey!”

"Malarkey?" I want Joe Biden run in 2020 just so we can hear more of that word.

Look, America's poverty rate was lower in President Trump’s first year than at any point in the Obama administration.

Okay. Whatever, you Trump haters are probably saying. But of course the middle class was screwed by the Trump tax cuts that only helped the rich, right?

Oh wait. The Trump tax cuts doubled the standard deduction to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for families. That's a huge change that takes millions of Americans out of federal income tax altogether and has effectively increased incomes for middle class families across the country.

What else helps the middle class? Jobs. But of course that "idiot" Trump couldn’t create them.

I live with austerity, but I’ll do whatever possible to help the President get reelected and get him a better Congress. The good ol’ girl Democrats and fake Republicans don’t fool me, especially the local gossips.

“Trump 2020, or lose all of your freedoms and properties!”

Scary isn’t it. Obey the deep state or else. Look no further than General Flynn.

Under Democrats there will be a war with Russia.

If the current crop of demonicRATs were to start a war with Russia, they'd also make sure we lose ... badly.

And that would take some doing on their part.

He exposed the scame that are the professional complainers and the SOYA (Sit On Your Ass) right.

People that love to pose, posture, and moan about the left, but have no intention of doing much more than banging away at their keyboards.

They recoil in horror at the fight Trump brings, and long for the days of Bush where they could play off of W’s wimpiness and act like tough guys.

Liberals and everybody else, know that Trump has been a very successful president.

But, democrats and the media cannot afford to give Trump credit for any successes, else, they would be conceding the 2020 election early.

Besides, admitting that Trump and republicans had a very successful agenda, would be the same as telling the democrat voters (and everybody else) that the democrats’ agenda is a loser, so, why vote democrat?

So, don’t expect democrats and the liberal media to admit the reality that, America is on the way back with Trump. It would be like the devil admitting that God’s way is the right way.

not a trump hater, but an objective adult with a lot of experience being lied to by politicians and hearing false promises..

too much deficit spending

Clintons, Obama, Comey and Lynch not in prison. As months pass, he is losing the opportunity to return us to a rule of law and not a rule by powerful aristocrats who do as they please. Equal justice demands they be indicted and sent to prison for crimes and the coup attempt.

When NK disarms, then it will be a major success, not until then.

The WALL.

To much deferring to courts on national security issues which is his purview and courts should have no standing. Ca’t let 1 judge and hen another deiced on our defense. We never did that before.

Allowing public officials to violate immigration laws with impunity, in California, mayor of Oakland, Kevin De Leon, and the AG of CAL.

I feel blessed to have lived long enough to see his outstanding presidency. History WILL remember our remarkable POTUS.

Trump is the most impactful president in several years. I think you have to go back to Roosevelt. Some may say Nixon. But when it comes to only two years. Trump beats them all even Reagan.

I am also upset about the wall delay but the fact that Hillary and all the deep state criminals have yet to face a single day in prison. That is unacceptable. If Trump wants my vote in 2020 I have to see real progress on the wall and serious criminal charges against the Clinton/Obama crime families and the rest of the liberal scum, including elected crooks, career government employees, corrupt judges, and media co-conspirators.

There are trial baloons on Facebook today of a possible Biden Beto ticket.

I iterated that I hoped that would be the Dem ticket for 2020’s presidential election.

But I did call Biden - Beto “Plugs” and “Smugs”. PDJT would beat them like a drum.

Oh wait. The Trump tax cuts doubled the standard deduction to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for families. That's a huge change

The tax bill also eliminates "exemptions", which were formerly $4050 per person, so the total deductible amount is not doubling. A married couple with two kids formerly could take a $12700 standard deduction and 4 exemptions @ $4050, for a total deduction of $28900. So in 2018 their total deductible amount is going down by $4900.

This effect is offset by a doubling of the child tax credit from $1000 to $2000, and some reduction in rates.

Two years ago I got $7k back at tax season.

Last year, with the same withholding, I paid $500 and made less in income.

People on the very bottom got more back and businesses at the top got more back. I got one hell of a tax hike.

President is doing all he can. He has everyone but his supporters fighting against him tooth and toenail. He has the Republican Party fighting him and backstabbing him 24/7. He has the Democrat Party and the mainstream media fighting him 24/7. The main stream media lies about him and twists his words around constantly. Then they are the Never Trumpers and Anti- Trumpers that out of jealousy are nipping at his backside like a pack of hyenas 24/7/365. What more can he do? He is only one man.

As a senior when I go to a business I will ask the clerk do you give seniors a discount?....Usually the response is NO.
Then I ask do you give a discount if I voted for TRUMP? Then I stand back and watch the expression on their face. GETS THEM EVERY TIME. Try it!!

I’ll never turn on Trump.

November 2020 he will have my vote, no matter what his enemies do to him.
