'Obamacare'
Now that's having your name in lights.
Feel like Kim deserves his own thread as he's played an absolute blinder. He's managed to quietly make peace with South Korea while winning a who can yell the loudest contest with Trump, getting a US President to meet him as an equal and the stand down of US military manoeuvres that they've wanted for decades. Unclear that they've actually even had to give up anything except a vague promise to stop their non-functioning nuclear program?
They've taken advantage of a president in a very weak position who needs a PR win and they've seemingly got everything they wanted in exchange for letting Trump do a bit of grandstanding.
I think you have to look at things through the eye of the voter.His 'gut' is eyeing up getting a 'Trump Tower' or two in the region.
That much is clear.
He doesn't 'trust' Iran or Obama, but he 'trusts' Kim Jong Un...?? Really??
Kicks off with other members of the 'G7' and starts cosy-ing up to North Korea and singing Russia's praises.
Ask yourself why.
Ask yourself how Jarvanka made $82 mil when they're not supposed to be earning side deals if they work for the White House?
So, I think Trump think there's better trade to be had with regions outside of the western world, so he's willing to sever some ties with his allies.
I'm not suggesting 'better trade' for the US, but he's eyeing a long term strategy of life after the White House.
I think he's already planning not to run again after he 'pardons' himself and, therefore, having a clear run at building the empire he really craves.
Being President is not interesting to him, it's just a stepping stone...
He'll never reach the second round.
He'll never win the debates.
He'll never win the nomination.
He'll never beat Hilary.
He'll never be sworn in.
He'll never last 100 days.
He'll never bump the markets.
He'll never beat the impeachment.
He'll never sort out North Korea.
He'll never get re-elected.
A few months ago we were looking at the possibility of nuclear war, I look at my new first grandson and I prefer todays situation, if being nice and cosy with Kim is what it takes to avoid world war then Im all for it.Trump trades insult with all his allies, makes promises and breaks them, with his so called allies ( including making promises for May post brexit, then reneging on said promises) then cosies up to tyrants criminals and despots around the world, calling them “ good people” and friends! People who won’t think twice about having an opponent killed, or a family member tied up and shot with a canon. Kim Jong Un, was chosen by his father to carry on, because he was the most cruel and heartless, he’s a psychopath, there’s no way he’s suddenly turned over a new leaf.
Trump will be used to bring a patina of respectability to North Korea, Kim May well be planning to open up his cheap Labour workforce to the west, now that a China and a India are pricing themselves out of the market, he has seen how a South Korea has become a powerhouse, and eyes some of that power and glory. He may well have “ abondoned” the Nuclear program for now, but who knows once the money is flowing in?
Trump may well champion himself as a deal maker, but he’s been made bankrupt several times, and the money he received in his youth would be worth more now, if he’d just left it in the bank, than squandering it on his various endeavours, that tells you all you need to know about this mans ability to make successful deals, and make sound judgments
He called it Obamacare as well...Now now, play nice. I thought you were a secretly smart guy?
'Obamacare' is something President Obama never called it. That was a name given to the ACA as a slight.
The Reps thought by attaching Obama's name to it, it would produce negative connotations.
They were wrong, except for the regular racists...
I think you have to look at things through the eye of the voter.
Trump is essentially a businessman, he makes deals, he see's America getting bad deals such as NATO and import tariffs so he wants to make better deals, this is why the average American tax payer voted him in.
So what if the Canadian or UK PM gets upset, he/she wont be upset forever. He's doing what the working and middle class want him to do.
He called it Obamacare as well...
Like Trump, you are confusing individual country’s defence budgets with their contribution to the running costs of NATO. Each NATO member pays an amount directly proportional to their GDP.Trump is bang on right about NATO, countries such as Germany Italy France & Canada are massively underpaying, whilst the USA pays the vast bulk of it, if I were a US tax payer i would not be happy about being kind of cheated out of this money, these countries should pay their share, or leave.
As Trump says he admires these countries for getting away with underpaying for 20 years.
