Let me see if I can understand.

Trump, per the IRS, reduced taxes for middle income and lower families.

Inflation was down.

Trump with his one time tax forgiveness caused companies to bring monies held offshore back into the country which led to companies hiring more employees. Specifically, Cisco, Oracle and Apple.

Trump significantly reduced illegal immigration.

No new armed conflicts during his administration.

NATO members began abiding by their agreements that a certain percentage of their GDP would be for NATO.

Middle East countries began new approachments to trade and and peace.

The auto industry was moving toward returning jobs from Mexico.

Can you explain how any of those things are bad?

You have to try and not swallow all of the BS the alt right gives you... It is not good for you over time...

But just to be fair.. yes, nearly all fed gov work is done by the career desk jockeys while the reps plead and plot for reelection...

Bird and AuntiE,,, are things truly is such crappy condition where you live???

Every day the OPP is full of weeping and dismay.. but none of it is in evidence in the real world.. inflation down, not out but down. jobs, wages, the economy doing great. What have I seen that is most increase.. Soda pop... by far.. and with spring gaining ground soon I may buy some... predictions to worry about.. chocolate will go sky high.. that will be a hardship for some I know..

Housing cost will stay high forever, it is what marketing does..

do you guys ever watch for sales,, my wife does, as she did for all our lives together.. and every week sales are going on for food and nearly any goods.. not houses, Phony if they mention cars.. but nearly everything else..

In Birds MEME the one that truly I never see is the electricity increase.. mine has gained about one cent per Kilowatt over the last several years.. it is now getting close to 13 cents/kilowatt..

gas for heating.. I even posted my contract which was 1.69 per gallon for LP gas..

Yet, you do not answer the question. You are exactly like those you accuse of propaganda for Trump. You refuse to acknowledge anything positive that may have happened. I can promise you there are hundreds of well educated Cisco and Oracle employees who thank their bank balances for him since being hired because of his one time tax waiver.

Sales are nice. Of course, you still DO NOT recoup but a smidgen of the cost increase. If something goes up 20% and the sale is only 5%, you are still out 15%. Econ 101 tells you that.

By the way, just the other day UncleE took one car for gas. Two hours later he took the other one. In two hours, gas went up 15 cents per gallon.

You seem to ignore many of us live in expensive areas. I would wager everything in my area costs substantially more. You seem to believe your little idyllic paradise is representative of the whole country. You would be wrong!

I have been told that gas may go up by the hour..

One day years ago, a different gas price war.. I filled the tank and went to pay, the little gal at the counter was sweet enough to let me know I was the very first customer to pay the new higher price for the day.. gee what a swell gal..

I agree. Let me do a replication of a conversation with my BFF one time. You will, thoroughly, understand.

Me: What was she thinking?

BFF: Obviously, she was not!

Trump to me is a unique issue.. while he was the worst president ever in history.. the deep feeling of him is rooted in two things.. the comment that he was just like a Vietnam vet for having to dodge the STDs all the NYC woman had. the heel spurs, and most the attempt to overthrow the elected government of the United States..

Oh that was not two.. and many more come into mind ever time he is mentioned.. so I rarely think of him when not on OPP..

If trump ever did anything good it was an accident that happened while he was trying to put the money in his pocket..
