Setting aside the flawed argument about "success" here, it continues to amaze me that people still think Trump might turn the corner and enjoy a positive news cycle.
Depends. I don't want his policies that are geared to enriching the already rich, preventing people from coming to this country because they have brown skin, or that will damage the environment to be successful. I would like to see his policies that actually "drain the swamp," that find a solution to the N. Korea problem that prevents military conflict, that limit access to guns, etc be successful.
Tim once again confirming youre a #####.
So Black and Hispanic unemployment don't count? Surly that's good news right? That being said this is the type of posting I was hoping to see.
What policies did he create to make that happen? How is he directly responsible? If he is then I'm on board with that.
The unemployment rate falling generally is good news for everyone, but it's arguable if Trump has had very much to do with it. We've basically just continued on the same downward trend we've been on since we pulled out of the last recession, except thing are flattening out now because 4% is basically as low as it's gonna go. Obviously all subgroups of the population have benefited from that trend; if Trump has done something particularly helpful for our black and Hispanic populations I haven't heard about it, and I also haven't heard about their rates improving at a clip that outpaces the broader trend.
Trump and Obama are on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum of what it means to be a decent person. Trump has earned a lot of the hate he receives. Just listen to him talk down to others, how he treats women and people from other countries. What did Obama do to receive the hate he got from people? I know people who absolutely hate Obama and call him the N word any time they talked about him. These same people love Trump and what's even more baffling is that he's not even doing anything to help them. For some he may be close to making things much, much worse for them.
This is the 2nd time you've said you were surprised people hate Trump.
Why are you surprised? Genuine question. I don't think not liking a person's policies is analogous with not liking the person. They are separate yet one DOES fuel the other. It shouldn't be surprising to you that people get bent out of shape about his policies when they feel like they are coming from a morally corrupt source. This is the first President of my lifetime (43 years old) that embarrasses me as an American. I knew he was a goof and unqualified from the beginning. I did not know how much he struggled as a human being, mostly because I never paid attention to him before.
Not sure why you mentioned this in both posts you made? It isn’t like it’s some strong point you are trying to convey. I voted for Trump and never voted for Obama. That said, you have serious issues if you can’t easily see why people would have much stronger negative feelings towards Trump.....and no, it isn’t because he’s a Republican.boots11234 said:

I’m surprised that you are surprised - he’s a horrible human being who has admitted to grabbing women by the ##### without asking, he mocks disabled people, he’s had a lot of incidents in his life that make it appear that he’s a racist, he’s a narcissist, he obviously unqualified for the position that he holds, he’s cheated on his wives, he calls people names, he lies constantly....I wouldn’t want this guy to be my neighbor and I’m embarrassed he’s our President.boots11234 said:
