President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Got that right. Andy Dick was heard boasting about passing the torch.

 

Now here's a good idea. China was kinda gentle with a $3B pushback, targeted on Republican districts. The gloves are going to come off now, unless someone stops this nonsense.

Market is gonna tank tomorrow.

Shithead.

U.S. Announces Tariffs on $50 Billion of China Imports

 

Here's the crazy thing though: He could have been a good president. Yes, he'd have his conservative agenda, which most of us here would hate. But he has plenty of charisma that, if he'd used it positively, would have won over a lot of people.

Instead, he acts like a three-year-old. Every. Fricken. Day.

 

I have tried as an internal experiment to find the good in him, anything that I liked or respected. No can do.
No father who's doing it right would want a child to grow up to be like this man.
Jay-Z told Van Jones a few weeks ago he thinks 45 is 'in pain'.

He's more like that loudmouth fat kid at summer camp who shit his pants when he got into a fight.

 

Would love to know what Q and others on the right think of this guy. He sounds like their kind of candidate.
Idaho Candidate Supports Penalizing Women who get Abortions

Works for me. It should work against them in the general. Thing is that I'm afraid the Dems will too.

 

Ds picked up a seat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court tonight.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I was expecting more primary strife among Dems, but mainly it has been a surplus of candidates rather than any ideological divide that presents the problem.
Turnout in November won't be 2016 levels, but if it is somewhere between a normal off-year and 2016, it should be okay.
