At the beginning his style never bothered me. I was wary of his associations with dims though. He did support Obama at the beginning. I feared we might have had another RINO in the making. I got on board during the primaries. Perhaps a little later than others but after the betrayals of the Bush clan and McCain and Romney I hope some will allow that that wariness was warranted.
Grain comes form all over the world, same as beef. Quit trying to protect farmers from global competition unless you are willing to protect manufacturing and blue color workers with the same zeal.
I’ve never watched the apprentice either. Just always liked Trump throughout the years. He was quite the guy around New York until he became a Republican candidate, and then, just like that, he’s a racist/bigot/homophobe and whateverphobe. None of my liberal friends have ever been able to explain to me why he got so many accolades from Jackson/Sharpton for helping black communities, and then suddenly NOPE, we knew ALL ALONG he was racist. Buncha crap.
Trump is not the GOP and the GOP is not Trump.
It's the same with Trump - Trump's a workaholic - he's loves this stuff... Trump has a great overview of what needs to be done to make the whole machine work together for the benefit of the American people.
That skill is why Trump will pull in the votes of people who keep the country moving: whites, blacks, Latinos, farmers, factory workers, middle managers, old people and young people with a clue and citizens who care about national outcomes: wealth, safety, culture stability.
But is Trump someone we'd have over for a drink? Yeah, some of us... but many just want the surgery done - and be able to leave the hospital alive... happy to be with the ones they love even if the surgeon isn't their 'best friend' or buddy...
I want local, fresh beef, poultry, pork, and vegetables.
I don’t want the preservatives all over them as they are shipped halfway around the world. It’s a 2-8 hour truck ride from West Texas to Houston, or any of my neighbors farms to my freezer.
“Farmers ( 0.8% of GDP )need to get real jobs. Bloomberg is an idiot but he was right about farming. Farming is ghetto.”
You’d rather have food brought in by ship from elsewhere, that did God knows what to it, than have something trucked over from a neighboring state?
Delusional, you are.
I want that to plus, I want USA made phones, TVs, cars, shoes etc. etc. etc.
Unfortunately, Republicans think it is more important to maintain a domestic supply of stupid tomatoes than to keep on shore multi million dollar factories that produce millions of dollars of wealth and employees 1,000s of people. The priorities of Republicans is astoundingly myopic and is turn off to average working Americans. Trump is the lone exception it seems....
I suddenly want some coffee and donuts?
“Wake up Republicans, wage earners ARE NOT THE ENEMY.”
And who is saying otherwise?
As soon as Trump leaves office and if Pence runs and wins he will roll back all the tariffs and every trade deal. The GOP is not learning from Trump at all. Working people know this, sense this.
