harrylittle

We appreciate and thank Donald Trump for the four years he was President of the USA. some of his great achievements that effect ireland and worldwide are

1) ISIS melted away to nothing thanks to Donald Trump a great blessing particularly to those in the middle east

2) the amount of wars world wide decreased to its lowest levels in living memory particularly in the middle east.

3) Terorist attacks decreased noticeably in europe and world wide

4) hugh population displacement reduced dramatically under trumps term mainly due to the first three points

5) trump struck a peace agreement with Kim of north korea possible halting a nuclear war

6) He revived the usa economy in the first three years bring 5 million people off welfare and lowest unemployment levels in decades before covid 19 struck.

7) probably many improvements at the local usa level such as reforming obama care

Donald Trump

Got kicked off twitter

John Doe1

He truly was one of the greatest orangemen of all time.

Melanchthon

He was alright on China-definitely better than his predecessors, fairly successful on focusing minds on some of the NATO stuff, was pretty good for the US economy until this year which was good for Ireland, didn't f-ck up the middle east too much (more).
Long list of his faults, but not for this thread

What I don't get though is, say you were a big fan of his policies when he ran, he's been sh-te at implementing, useless at draining the swamp and so on. Basically shouldn't the people who were Trump supporters hate him the most because he was so useless at doing what he said he would.

LessOutragePlz

He left Joe Biden a lovely letter in the White House so all is forgiven.

con747

He got the sales of bleach at an all time high.

He is an extraordinary man among extraordinary men.

Managed to get an unexpected few hundred thousand people off social security benefits............for some reason there are less old people drawing down pension benefits now than would have been predicted last January

Didn't start any new wars (though still bombed the sh!t out of places) and had the economy in very good shape until Covid.

I'm not sure how much credit or criticism he deserves for anything that went on though, I always got the impression he was hopelessly out of his depth in every way and didn't really give a crap about any policies at all, or actually trying to achieve any kind of changes.

He was only ever concerned with looking good to his base, everything else was secondary to that, and was sacrificed for that. The Covid response was an example of that - everything he did and said was what he thought his base wanted to hear.

I genuinely wonder what he did all day.

Not easy to do when 90% of the establishment is against you ... just look at the massive election fraud ... the courts/fbi/cia/army/political establishment ... did nothing about it .. impossible to do anything when a system is that corrupt..

Saved some endangered species from his sons as they were too tied up with stuff in the US to be out murdering defenceless animals I suppose.

What North Korea peace agreement??

He didn't "revive" any economy. The economy continued on the positive track started under Obama. In fact Obama had better job creation and economic numbers than Trump.

Also what Obamacare reforms? Are those the ones he promised to deliver in just "2 weeks"?

That list reads like some Trump propaganda piece from Fox News or someplace like that.

Kim has recently declared that N.Korea will be investing more than ever into their nuclear program, so.. not really much of a win there.

Many people are saying that he invented the greatest words, like covfefe and hamberders.

For a man with no political background of any sort he didn't half change the face of politics forever. Not bad considering bud.

personally, i think you'll find in 2-4 years, trump has done more for america than obama and biden, and biden will.

what did JB do in 50 years, with 8 being VP, aside from the rise of ISIS?

Like, I'm sure but I'm an idiot, so do share, you seem to know.

one armed dwarf

NK are still building missiles, but at least we got some nice coins commemorating the photo op.

Also living in London from 2015-18 I felt more insecure about terror attacks than I can remember, but then I wouldn't necessarily attribute any of that to Donald

I'm actually trying to find stuff to appreciate him for. What's the bipartisan verdict on Operation Warpspeed? Seemed things were pretty positive there for a bit until vaccine reserves hit a snag.

Didn't he just beat Trump in an election and put him out office.

That would seem quite a lot for america, and the planet in general.

To be fair, he has done a lot to normalise makeup for men.

He transformed Twitter from a friendly, geeky, niche platform that was making no money into an absolute hell hole of hate that ended up front and centre of every political debate.

Showed us that a huge amount of people need a hate figure in their lives in order to feel validated.

During Obama’s last month in office in January 2017, the Black unemployment rate was 7.8 percent. When Trump took office, that number dropped to 6.6 percent by July 2017.

In 2018, 700,000 new jobs had been created for African Americans during the Trump administration.

reg114

Ah Trump, what a vile mess of a human being. Not only is he a child trapped inside a man's body but his sociopathy and narcissism have until now gone unchecked and created a monster, a dangerous flailing monster only fit to wreak chaos. Trump is a symptom of America and Americana. He was the poster child of the far right purely because he said what they wanted to hear. Trump would tell practically anyone what they wanted to hear if he thought his sales pitch would work on them. Good riddance to his indecency and nastiness, but America, you still have a huge problems.

Yes there clearly wasn't a previous trend...

Trump made me appreciate that democracy can easily be undermined; that it can be weakened by corruption, monopoly, apathy, inequality, political violence, hucksterism, and racial injustice.

Trump made me appreciate that we have to fight for what we believe in, and that the price of freedom is indeed eternal vigilance.

Highlighted how partisan main stream media are in the states. Same events were presented in totally different ways with diametrically opposed conclusions drawn.

You are correct ... Dont forget to add though that this was also because of Trumps actions

Just to edit that it was not Biden that brought in the troops

Penn

I appreciate Trump pointing out the gaping holes in the supposed checks and balances between the Presidency, Senate and House, in that I hope it now means with the Dems having control of all three they do what they can to patch those holes.

I appreciate him being so loathsome that he helped mobilise the Dems to properly get their people out to vote in levels they never had before, and particularly in more minority areas where attempts at voter suppression were fairly commonplace, and I hope the Dems now ensure voting rights across the board are expanded and enhanced to ensure everyone has the right to their legal vote.

And lastly, I appreciate him being so egotistical and narcissistic that he's drawn so much attention to his shady business practices in the past to the point where he's facing numerous legal investigations and tarnished the one thing he had that actually had any value; the name 'Trump'.

Like it or not, Biden got the most votes ever and won the electoral college.

More soldiers were present due to the Capitol riots and direct attack on the US Government because people were mad their boy lost.

Honestly, for a Mod I'd expect a much higher standard from you. It's fine you're a conservative, but stop lying so obviously.

Pro free speech fascists, am I right?

As a solid anti American I agree that Trump did have some good points, notably an aversion to war. He wasn't great on Iran, and I am not sure about that peace deal, but at least he didn't try and convert the rest of the Middle East into a parking lot. I don't know what Biden will do, but Hillary would have definitely been more belligerent.

Of course to the mouth breathers who think they live in the US, on both sides, the killings of millions of non Americans is a good thing.

Good points:
* Showed the world how hopelessly biased the majority of the media is
* Showed the world how social media is following similar trends as the media
* Heightened awareness around illegal immigration and drew a clear distinction between legal immigration and illegal immigration
* Got the USA energy independent which resulted in lower energy prices for the rest of the world
* Took an improving economy and made it roaring - this had a knock on effect for Ireland in the fact that we've had four record Corporation Tax intakes over the four years of his tenure (despite the media warning us that his America First policy would damage the Irish multi-national industry)
* Worked towards implementing the Platinum Plan which went further than ever before to help the African-American community, and giving School Choice
* Foreign policy of no new wars and withdrawing American military presence from around the world
* Withdrawing funding from a clearly compromised WHO
* Did not support the Paris Climate Accord which was like the WHO, hopelessly biased towards China and basically giving the CCP a free pass.
* Favoured Nation policy has and will continue to reduce medicine prices for Americans

There are lots more that could be added here, but these come to mind first

Obviously the lad had bad points like all humans:
* Less than satisfactory handling of Covid19, no better than the EU who had less warning time.
* Poor first debate with Biden, he was too brash and treated the debate like a campaign rally. It's a different animal campaigning to an audience that contains your opponents and the undecideds.
* Didn't move quick enough to defuse the Capitol hill protests
* Gave the media too much ammunition with gaffes during Covid19 media updates.

I'm not a mod of this forum. If you think I am out of order, report me to local mods.

On topic, I think most people, conservatives and others, accept Biden won.
But even though a small unarmed fringe group invaded Capitol and were immediately subdued most Trump supporters found the invasion appalling.
Maybe after months of BLM/Antifa riots the Trump supporters though this was the new normal? Or is it only ok when the left does it?

Trump literally dropped more bombs in like 2 years than Obama did in 8. It got so bad that Trump had them stop reporting the numbers.

The -only- reason Trump didn't start any wars is because calmer heads backed down and realised it wasn't worth it. He literally threatened N. Korea with an all out war, and Iran, unless they backed down.

He was a bully who used the US Military as a weapon to try and make himself look like a man. All US Presidents have been little more than well spoken war mongers, and Trump was just as bad.
