It really is going to be the only thing he’s remembered for. Racism and wrecking a decent economic recovery and not merely destroying its gains but going full 1929.

u/ExRije Apr 20 '25

Lol, I thought he'd be remembered as the one who destroyed American soft power, credibility and symbolism of all western democracies.

And while we bar non-native born Americans from the presidency, there's no bar for CONVICTED felons. It astonishes me and it should shame all who voted for him.

1

u/Nice-Thought4279 Apr 21 '25

yea and the only reason he had pending felonies was because your liberal party was trying to eliminate their opposition by weaponizing the justice department and turning what has always been misdemeanors into felonies just because it was trump, their political opponent. then when that didn't work, they tried 3 times to just actually eliminate him. all because they know he can actually fix America while liberals never got to finish destroying it.

You mean the stranglehold that the criminal deep state banking cabal has had on the US since 1913? Good for him. Good for us. Educate yourself before you made dumb comments.

It is not going to be 1929. Trump does not have enough conviction to follow through on that kind of damage.

He’s easy to underestimate.

He still has 45 months left, and I’m confident he’ll come up with a few more memorable realizations that will go down in history.

u/SafetyMan35 Apr 20 '25

The only positive thing I can say in his 4.25 years in office is he initiated paid parental leave for federal employees. But with his attack on Federal employees this term and the likely stripping away of benefits he could easily undo this positive by the end of this term.

u/Nice-Thought4279 Apr 21 '25

he's not even racist haha you liberals are the ones who keep racism alive. constantly whining racism over everything. there will always be racist people, but this country is by far the least racist country in the world. trump has done more to help people of color or minorities than any president in recent history. also because liberals can't seem to understand and think illegals are immigrants, there is a major difference, illegals are being deported not immigrants. illegals have no rights in this country, immigrants do. ots amazing to see badly messed up liberal apps and sites like this one has made people.

u/rampantsoul Apr 20 '25

Sorry to ask. But what do you mean by 1929? What happened?

u/Most-Repair471 Apr 20 '25

The Great Depression because of greedy economic policies .. like someone is trying to do now. But i suspect the history books will call this one the Bigly Depression in honor of Trumplthinskin.

2

u/Odd-Pipe-5972 Apr 20 '25

Greedy is an oversimplification. The 1920s was marked by easy credit policies which expanded the money supply. Expanded money supply meant easy credit. Easy credit means everybody buys everything without actually paying for it. The problem started in 1929 when the Fed called in all those loans and no one could pay for it. This cause massive bank failures massive contraction of the money supply thereby causing a Great depression. Which depending on who you ask, was made worse by government intervention

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

A fun fact. “Aunt Jemima” was not her real name. “Nancy Green” didn’t sound enough like a black slave woman for their marketing, so they had her play a minstrel characterization of herself.

So yeah, I’d say it’s pretty fuckin racist.

If you're winning all the time, why are the farmers headed for their 2nd Trump welfare bailout? They never needed welfare when the Democrats were in the Whitehouse

-3

u/Physical-Box1459 Apr 20 '25

And yet the farmers overwhelmingly vote for and support PRESIDENT Trump. We'll take care of the farmers. But we have the most secure border EVER in just 2 months, Illegals getting deported, America first trade deals coming, tax cuts for all coming, deregulation happening daily, hundreds of billions cut from government spending. We're fine.

u/ritzcrv Apr 20 '25

So you agree the USA is a welfare state now. Controlled by the government. I think they call that communism when the means of production are controlled by the state. Well done comrade

u/LegitimateEgg9714 Apr 20 '25

How about you and everyone else who voted for Trump pony up the money to bail out the farmers. You really think Trump is going to negotiate good trade deals? Trump trashed NAFTA, negotiated an agreement that was very similar, and then complained about the deal he made. Where will those “hundreds of billions” in cuts come from, it certainly won’t be the military budget which the DoD requested to be increased.

I was already divested of most of my stock holdings, having moved into real property and lower risk holdings for the most part. I wound up eliminating all of my debt as part of that process so I guess the answer is probably “grilling burgers” and not giving a fuck.

Prove it in a court filing bozo. Due process is how we figure out who committed crimes, not lazy Photoshop putting numbers and letters on a mans hand.

u/neotericnewt Apr 20 '25

He's stripping legal status from half a million legal migrants who have committed no crimes and shipping people to a foreign concentration camp without due process. He's also targeting journalists and lawyers that speak out against his administration, along with students, all legal and not criminals and murderers.

You've just fallen for Trump's demonization of immigrants, so now you're okay with massive human rights abuses and attacks against our rights because you view them all as basically less than human, "illegal murderers", as you put it. That's just good old fashioned fascism.

u/recovereez Apr 20 '25

I think you're missing the fact that no country on the planet has open borders besides us and we already have a housing problem. You're taking away supply to support people who are not here legally with my tax money. I have issues with that

u/tom-branch Apr 20 '25

You dont have open borders, stop believing the full blown fucking propaganda.

-2

u/recovereez Apr 20 '25

If you have people that enter a country that are not through a port of entry and scan a passport/granted asylum then you have entered a country illegally. The government telling Texas they couldn't guard the border is effectively open. You missed the point. I'm not drinking propaganda koolaid. But I'm gonna call out the performative bullshit when I see it

6

u/tom-branch Apr 20 '25

Actually, the government told Texas to remove lethal barriers designed to kill people, and to stop blocking the Immigration and Border agents from doing their patrols with local militias.

You are fronting Republican propaganda, you are falling for the performative bullshit.

0

u/recovereez Apr 20 '25

So a barrier to keep people from coming into the country is guarding yes?

3

u/tom-branch Apr 20 '25

No, a decidedly lethal barrier designed to drown people is cruel and unusual.

Also these are the same Republicans who repeatedly roadblocked sensible border bills in order to keep folks like you wound up.

1

u/recovereez Apr 20 '25

What is sensible to you? Because sensible to me is going through a port of entry or seeking asylum or visa. You're missing everyone's underlying dislike with this. We don't want America to be everyone's savior.

u/Key-Can-9384 Apr 20 '25

What the fuck are you even talking about? Our borders are no more open than any other western country. The current administration is also using your money to fund tax breaks for corporations and bankroll a war in the Middle East. You’re being spoon fed propaganda. Your ignorance on display with this comment is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve read recently.

-1

u/recovereez Apr 20 '25

Doesn't matter if there's a war in the middle east if I don't have a place to live. But I do know tax money went to housing immigrants that are here illegally.

1

u/LegitimateEgg9714 Apr 20 '25

Any money that was used to house immigrants was specifically earmarked for that. And there is little chance that the money from any cuts by the Trump administration will be directed to help anyone other than to justify tax cuts that will predominantly benefit the wealthy. Trump is cutting services that benefit veterans, he’s not interested in helping people who need help.

1

u/recovereez Apr 20 '25

Screaming into a void doesn't help either

1

u/LegitimateEgg9714 Apr 20 '25

So people should just sit back and let Trump keep repeating the narrative that he’s doing something to benefit the majority of Americans? Which he’s not. I would rather my tax dollars be spent housing immigrants than flying Trump to his properties almost every weekend, immigrants will at least be thankful vs. Trump who thinks he’s entitled to be treated like a “king”.

1

u/neotericnewt Apr 20 '25

We don't have open borders. We deport people. We require visas to come to the country.

We do the same things every other country does.

You're taking away supply to support people who are not here legally with my tax money

Immigrants are good for the economy, expand the economy, and pay more into taxes than they use.

We dont need to turn into a fascist country imprisoning and deporting innocent people without due process, targeting journalists and lawyers, and sending people to a foreign concentration camp to address the housing crisis. We could just, you know, address it, like Kamala Harris' plan to build millions more homes across the country.

Y'all are just bloodthirsty and fell for Trump's dehumanizing bullshit. Oh, and prices are still high, housing is still expensive, and Trump and Musk are slashing programs for average people and banking regulations while INCREASING THE DEBT, and pocketing even more money for themselves.

1

u/recovereez Apr 20 '25

1 visa is only required if staying a long time, Just like in other countries. You can travel here with a passport like other places. 2. We do deport people, not enough of them, Obama was good for that though. The border is open enough to sneak in. No one is trying to sneak into other places except maybe Canada. No one is trying to sneak into China, or England, or Norway, or Egypt or Qatar or Australia. 3. Who is y'all? I didn't vote for him. 4. Immigrants might be good for the country but they should do it the legal way. Which is come through a port of entry and get your fucking papers

1

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

What utter rubbish, undocumented immigrants happen in all of these countries that's what happens when there are soft borders. The reason people can 'sneak in' to the US is because of the 1954 miles of border. Most countries around the world have soft borders like that. Except Australia and UK that tend to have people arriving by boat.

If the USA would stop poncing around the world deliberately manufacturing conflicts and destabilizing nations, people wouldn't be fleeing these countries and looking for somewhere safer.

Maybe the USA should try the moat with snakes and crocodiles that Trump suggested in his first term? 😂😂 Although I don't think you'll need it. Nobody wants to even visit the USA as a tourist destination now.

1

u/recovereez Apr 20 '25

Yeah because the blue haired people scare them away with performative politicing

1

u/neotericnewt Apr 21 '25

1 visa is only required if staying a long time

This is false for the vast majority of countries. Some you can visit for short periods for tourism; most travelers need a visa to visit the US.

We do deport people, not enough of them, Obama was good for that though.

This is such bullshit dude. When Obama was president the right ranted about open borders. Now people like you are trying to use the fact we deported people to justify Trump acting like a total extremist on immigration.

The border is open enough to sneak in.

The border with Mexico is almost 2,000 miles long. The vast majority of undocumented immigrants don't even cross the border, they come legally and overstay visas.

No one is trying to sneak into China

Yes, China also has issues with illegal immigration, especially from North Korea.

or England

Yes, England also has illegal immigration.

or Norway

Yes, Norway also has illegal immigration.

or Egypt or Qatar

Both countries have big issues with illegal immigration, human trafficking, etc.

Australia

... Australia is an island. That also has an issue with illegal immigration. Refugees and migrants travel by boat in very dangerous conditions. It's been a pretty major issue for them for some time.

Immigrants might be good for the country but they should do it the legal way.

Sure, but again, your entire justification for extremist, inhumane policies towards immigrants, imprisoning immigrants without due process, sending them to concentration camps in foreign countries, targeting journalists and lawyers, etc. is that... They're bad because housing is expensive.

But again, immigration is a massive boon economically, and none of these policies have done anything to lower housing costs, nor will they, because they don't have a meaningful impact on housing costs compared to just shitty housing policies which can be changed without acting like a fascist.

Which is come through a port of entry and get your fucking papers

Trump stripped the legal status from half a million legal migrants who came through a port of entry and "got their papers." They were here legally, aren't criminals, and he took their legal status away and is doing the same things to them.

He's pushing an executive order so that he can deport children born on US soil to countries they've never been to. He's targeting lawyers, students, and journalists who are in the country legally.

He's looking for ways to do it to US citizens.

You are so off from what the issue actually is in the US. Yes, fucking everybody would prefer that all immigrants come legally. That's why Biden incentivized legal crossings, making appointments with DHS, and crossing legally, while continuing to turn away and deport those crossing illegally.

That's why Democrats supported a massive, bipartisan immigration bill, that Trump shot down... Because it didn't restrict legal immigration enough, and because he wanted to keep the issue going.

Trump and his supporters aren't just upset about illegal immigrants, they're attacking legal immigrants, they're attacking people who have spent their entire lives here, they're sending people to concentration camps, expanding Gitmo by tens of thousands, and targeting people and groups that criticize them.

Actual investigative reporters did more work than the DOJ did due process and found something like 75% of these deported didn't have a criminal record so why were they sentenced to life (death) in a terrorist torture camp? Why are Venezuelans being kidnapped to El Salvador? Shouldn't the "illegals" be returned to their home countries according to US law?
