President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

It's really a win-win situation for Republicans of the Bush era. They can turn up their noses and pretend they hate Trump while he's doing the heavy lifting in fulfilling their agenda. Trump's skilled enough politically to win electorally, get them their tax cuts and keep the tea party/deficit whackos in the party happy with tiny American flags and rallies and bluster even while in effect we're just getting Bush-era economics again. He's the most useful idiot ever.

 

Bath salts, dude. He's selling bath salts.

 

This is a good tweet thread:



I've about had it up to here with fucking Republican politicians trying to make this a goddamn red vs. blue issue.

 

GM stock tumbles after Trump threatens to cut all subsidies - CNN


"It's not clear what subsidies Trump was referring to.
A person familiar with the matter told CNN Business that GM is unaware of any significant federal subsidies the company is receiving beyond a $7,500 plug-in tax credit, which goes to the consumer, not the company."

 

Ford, beginning in 2020, is only making SUVs, pick ups and Mustangs in the US
All other makes, like the Focus, Fusion and Taurus, will be eliminated

 

The tariffs on steel and aluminum drive up costs, but lower gas prices have consumers switching to SUVs and pickups. Should the price of gas go up again, as it will sooner or later, the auto makers will be wrong footed once again as consumers go for smaller more fuel efficient cars once more. Another thing that I don't believe gets much attention. Cars are infinitely better made than they were a decade ago, let alone when I was young. They last longer, so in effect every sales boom now has a built-in slump at its end as it reaches x number of people who have many years left on their current model if they choose to keep it or must for their own financial reasons.

 

And he tries to justify killing kids by talking about things that never really happened in Vietnam and Mogadishu.

 

Those mid-size SUVs are getting way better gas mileage than they used to. I've said this before, but I drove a newer Nissan Rogue for a week and it got better gas mileage than my 2008 Altima.

I can absolutely afford a new car, I just don't feel like dealing with a car payment at this point. I drive company vehicles quite a bit in the summer, so it's not a priority for me. The Altima has 168,000 miles and has had very few issues outside of routine maintenance. If that changes, I'll buy new. But not until then.

 

Um, weeeeeeeeeeeellll, doesn’t everyone? Don’t YOU think your side is right about abortion? Don’t YOU think your side is right about guns?

You literally just described everybody, but you deny it’s true.

 

Those people give specific examples of WHY trump is a pos. You just keep saying Obama is, without giving any examples of why you think that.

There is a massive difference, I'm not surprised you can't see that though.
