Quote:"I think it's incredibly presumptuous of you to tell people why they "really" voted the way they did." - Typical fucking nonsense from you, Signym. I talk to white supremacists all the time. They understand Trump perfectly.

SECOND, I know Trump is a nationalist. Whether or not he's a "white" nationalist, I don't know. As you know, I support ending illegal immigration into the USA, but I don't consider that "racism", I consider it a matter of national sovereignty.
As far as the David Duke candidacy is concerned, Trump framed it as a "jobs" issue. Did the other candidates in that campaign ALSO focus in jobs, or was David Duke the only one? If that was the case, the voters might really have been voting about jobs.
I think it's incredibly presumptuous of you to tell people why they "really" voted the way they did. I know that you're incredibly inaccurate when you tell ME what I think, so why should I imagine that you're any more accurate about anybody else?
And the jobs issue, Signym, is more of your fucking nonsense. People like me do not hire people to create jobs; we hire to make money. If you want job creation, ask for a job with government because it will not come from capitalists. It is not our main intention to create jobs, but only a side effect. I would prefer robots because their feelings don't get hurt when I fire them. Maybe I should be even blunter: if you want capitalists to create jobs, make it the law that they must run their businesses 5% less efficiently every year. No more labor saving automation shall be allowed.

YOU don't care about ordinary average Americans. You're not one whit above Trump; and in many ways you're worse because you love to hire illegals because they're CHEAP.
All your hand-wringing and virtue-signaling is disgusting. It's one of the greediest, most self-serving, hypocritical displays on this board that I can remember.

Are you certain Trump will change the law to require me to hire more people and make my business less efficient year after year? I don't think Trump will sign that law, but if he does, I will do my fairshare to create more jobs. If all businesses are required to hire 5% more employees than last year and that continues for 8 years of Trump's Presidency, then the number of Americans with a job will increase by 48% ! That will be very impressive. (It's almost too late, but Trump could demand the 5% per year job increase in exchange for his signature lowering business taxes from 35% to 20%.)

But I see no reason to jump into the "free trade/ illegal immigrant" option with both feet either.
I heard something interesting a while back, and it really stuck with me. An interviewer was asking someone if they thought there would be a revolution in the USA, and the answer was Trump WAS the revolution. Revolutions are not constructive.
I voted for Trump to be a loose cannon, to interrupt the globalist plans for our country and to retain and possibly even claw back some of the sovereign rights that our globalist politicians would have given away.

Yup. Second is a pretty disgusting person. Several times this week he's shown his true colors and what he really thinks about the working class.
As always. T is just T. Nothing but baseless insults that can be completely ignored.

I'd just like to point out to Second that this is a very old post and that T is digging up a bunch of old threads for some reason today. I've already seen one or two posts regarding me that I thought were recent that were about a year ago that I had to ignore, so now that we're being civil to each other I didn't want this post from 10 months ago fucking with that.
Regarding T though, seems that nothing has changed.

Quote:During one hurricane briefing at the White House, Trump said, "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?" according to one source who was there. "They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they're moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that?" the source added, paraphrasing the president's remarks.

Asked how the briefer reacted, the source recalled he said something to the effect of, "Sir, we'll look into that."
Trump replied by asking incredulously how many hurricanes the U.S. could handle and reiterating his suggestion that the government intervene before they make landfall.
The briefer "was knocked back on his heels," the source in the room added. "You could hear a gnat fart in that meeting. People were astonished. After the meeting ended, we thought, 'What the f---? What do we do with this?'"

During President Donald Trump’s first year in office, he had a question for staffers who were briefing him on hurricanes. Why not just bomb them?, he asked, according to Axios.
That seems far-fetched, even for Trump, but the reporters on the item, Jonathan Swan and Margaret Talev, both have a long record of accurate stories on the White House beat, and they also reviewed a National Security Council memo that recorded Trump’s question. On one occasion, Trump suggested dropping a nuclear bomb on a hurricane, a long-circulating crackpot theory. On another occasion, Trump mentioned bombs, just not nuclear ones.
Trump denied the story via tweet, but an aide defended Trump’s questions to Axios. “His goal — to keep a catastrophic hurricane from hitting the mainland — is not bad,” the official said. “What people near the president do is they say, ‘I love a president who asks questions like that, who’s willing to ask tough questions.’”
No wonder the aide was unwilling to put his or her name on that quote. What Trump is asking is not a tough question. It’s a cop-out, the latest example of Trump seeking a silver bullet — or a silver warhead, as the case might be — instead of actually doing the hard work of leading the executive branch. From “Build the wall” to “Repeal and replace” to “Trade wars are good, and easy to win,” the president relies on bumper-sticker solutions that tend not to work.
These diversions carry a cost, sometimes a very heavy one. Axios reports that Trump brought up nukes during a hurricane briefing in his first year in office. The 2017 hurricane season would turn out to be the costliest on record. As the destruction brought by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands revealed, the federal government was deeply unprepared for a storm of that size. Trump could have been asking his briefers actual tough questions about whether the Federal Emergency Management Agency was ready for the season, and directing them to stage or deploy additional resources. Instead, he was asking the sorts of queries best reserved for stoned dorm-room sessions.

It’s one thing to claim you’re going to start a trade war; it’s another entirely to actually get into one, and to discover that you don’t know how to get out, as Trump sort of acknowledged in a moment of weakness at the G7 summit this weekend. Trump is nuts.
