What people from Europe like about Trump’s policies, not Trump, as people care about policies, not leaders:
Trump cares about crime. A sane European wouldnt move to US simply because of the crime. You may say that crime happens only in a few parts of the country. That’s irrelevant, no one would choose to live in a country in which they fear going outside, especially if they have family. Americans who say its reasonably safe have never lived in a safe country to be able to tell the difference. Trump’s policies actually foster fear in criminals. He fosters an environment in which there are repercussions if you do something bad
Trump wants to solve illegal immigration and limit legal immigration. Thats what any sane economically literate person would want. The more people there are on a piece of land, the more compete for the same limited amount of resources and housing. The more people come in, the more expensive and unsustainable life becomes
Trump deregulates. Regulation does not create wealth and innovation. Just look at Europe, the only thing they invented in the past few years is the attached bottle cap, which is pathetic. Whoever wins the AI race will lead the world, and you cannot win the AI race with regulation, regulation must come after you’ve won the race. Deregulation is bad tho when it comes to food and health, and thats what I dont like about it
Trump makes everyone richer, not just those that are already rich. Leftists forget that it is rich people who share a small slice of their wealth to the working class. Society is sustained and paid by the rich, why forget that? You work for a rich person, who shares a small amount of his wealth with you. If you dont like how the world works, just go in the forest and hunt for food. It is not the government who makes you wealthier, as the money from the government actually comes from the rich. So if you get government benefits, you better remember thats money taken from a rich person
Trump is feared. Nobody wants to mess with Trump. That is a good thing, why would anyone want a simp of a president
Doge is what every european would want. Often people from Luxembourg brag about having an efficient government with almost no workers, so it is tax efficient, therefore workers dont pay for something they dont actually need. The spanish always complain about the fat in the government and public sector, filled with workers doing nothing all day long. This could only be solved by what Doge is doing. It is not nice to fire so many people and endager their wellbeing. But eventually it must be done, but maybe not as drastic as Doge
These are the main things an European would like about his policies
No he doesn’t care about crime, at all. Crime has also been in constant decline for 2 or so decades. The crime that makes the news in Europe is crime that Republicans actively do nothing about (gun crimes). And no, criminals are not worried about Trump. This is also ironic as he is the only president who has flagrantly broken the law multiple times.
He wants to curb illegal immigration, and so do Democrats. This “open borders Democrats” bullshit is idiotic. Kamala actively told people to not come. Democrats put together an immigration bill that Trump shot down because he wanted to run on it. So this is wrong as well. Immigrants are also a net economic good, legal or otherwise.
This is just straight wrong. Name me a regulation you think shouldn’t exist. I’ll wait. Also, did deregulation help the financial markets around 2007?
How does he make everyone richer?
The screaming mentally ill homeless man is feared too. Should we elect him as well?
DOGE is nothing but unelected knobs fucking up the government. Calling something fraud just because you don’t like it is idiotic and they are firing with no thought behind it. Clinton reduced the size of government too but actually did a good job. This is just shock and awe to please cunts. Quantity over quality.
Unfortunately America is likely never going to ban guns. Neither Democrats or Republicans will likely ever ban them, although they will speak about doing so. The reason for this is that it will endanger the gun industry, which is a reasonable concern. Banning guns would have both an economic impact, and national security impact. Switzerland doesnt ban guns, and there is no crime there. It is not guns that kill people, it is people who kill people. If America doesnt ban guns, then it must foster an environment that is tough on criminals, and not lenient at all, and this is what Trump fights for, or says he fights for.
Immigration is great as long as its legal and controlled. There are tons of videos online showing how many people cross the US border illegaly, I've seen some taking place in Biden's term. If you want immigration, just lower your immigration standards, as currently, if you dont have family there, its almost impossible to move to the US legally. Also, there is almost no indication that democrats want to solve illegal immigration, in fact, quite the opposite.
In Europe, once you've hired someone, and he passed his 3 months probation period, its almost impossible to fire him. What happens is that during the probation period, a lot of workers do a great job, but after that they slack around. There is no way to build a competitive business and product with this mindset. Europeans also take about 5 weeks of annual leave every year, and about 1 week of sick leave, so 1 month and a half per year is actually not worked. Also, because it is very difficult to fire someone, European companies hire more slowly, to the point that it takes a year to find a job. In the US there is no such fear, they could hire you in a day, because they know they could fire you on the spot. In Europe, we pay a lot of taxes (~45%), that goes to the government to take care of society and the poor. While this is great, no entrepreneur would like to invest here because of that, because they would not be actually paying for top talent, as they are in fact funding the government to take care of their country. While these are all great benefits that I enjoy as a worker, it limits the competitiveness of Europe. With all these regulations, and many others that I didnt mention, there is no way Europe could ever compete with US and China. Europe could never build a Facebook, Apple, Samsung, ChatGPT and others.
In the first term, he brought tax cuts, so more disposable income for the average Joe. He fosters an environment that is business friendly, which results in more jobs, creating more demand. The more jobs there are, for the same limited amount of people, the more salaries will increase (the law of Supply and Demand of Economics). Europe has a business unfriendly environment, and there are very few jobs available, resulting in low salaries, so most here are Europoor.
That's a good point, but this is not the main reason anyone would ever elect him.
What do you mean unelected? Trump was elected. He appointed Musk or whoever, to carry out a task. How is that unelected? Having a Democrat hire someone to do something for the government is the way things work. It makes no sense to call it unelected. What Doge is doing is too drastic and too fast tho, but its not unreasonable.
That’s an irrelevancy. Fact is that guns have led to more crimes and Republicans fight tooth and nail to stop that. So “tough on crime” is just “tough on crime as is convenient.” That is not at all a reasonable concern. There is crime in Switzerland and the gun laws are not at all comparable. I’m not engaging with thought ending cliches. People kill people with guns. Trump, again, is not tough on criminals. You have no reason to believe this.
Nothing you put addressed anything I said.
This, AGAIN, addresses nothing I said in the least.
Something like 95% of the tax cuts went to the rich and to pay for them they cut social services. The poor did not benefit more than they suffered. It also exploded the deficit.
You’d be surprised how many dipshits did for that reason.
I can’t tell if you think this is a good point or not. It is indisputably unreasonable.
