Trump - The positives - (see Mod note in OP)

Casually ignoring that a majority of the electorate voted for Clinton in 2016, and that 75 million voted for Harris in Nov eh?

Democrats lose because the party leadership have abandoned the working class, simple as that. They are the 90s era Republican Party, at a time the country needs the Democratic Party of FDR and Johnson.

Always found it incredible the amount of abuse Trump got in his first term for interacting with Putin and Kim Jong Un. Anyone who views direct lines of dialogue open between any two leaders as being a bad thing is a complete failure of a human and should really take a look at themselves.

And yet, the war mongering democrats get empathy, excuses and a free pass in the media…

Backwards world we live in. Some just want to see the world burn.

It's off the charts BS to claim Trump is a common sense President after we watched him hold the office for 4 years, after we saw everything he did in the 4 years since he held it and also in the 4 days since he has assumed it again. I struggle to believe someone can hold that view and simultaneously have the ability to carry out objective analysis. And that isn't a dig, that's an objective take on the position indicated based on the factual evidence.

There's nothing common sense about ignoring the evidence with respect to the climate and the impact of fossil fuels on associated events.

There's nothing common sense about undermining medical professionals as he did throughout the worst pandemic in 100 years.

There's nothing common sense about insulting 100's of millions of people by calling their countries sh*tholes while you're the sitting President.

There's nothing common sense about using tariffs to deal with inflation.

There's nothing common sense about allowing yourself to be recorded asking the head of elections in a state to just find enough votes so the election results can be overturned in your favour.

There’s nothing common sense about grabbing women by their genitals just because yiu want to and yiur famous.

There's nothing common sense about telling people you know more about every topic than the bona fide experts working in the respective fields for decades.

There's nothing common sense about reacting to being challenged by insulting the person who challenged you.

There's nothing common sense about implying you can take over sovereign nation states or their entities just because you want to control them.

Theres nothing common sense about undermining the largest global military allegiance by captivating your partner members because of the result of how your country used that organization to further yiur interests since it's inception.

There's nothing common sense about taking Top Secret Documents and refusing to return them and sharing them with guests to your property.

There's nothing common sense about massively undermining the results of the election you lost and trying to circumvent the constitution and inciting a riot that led to an insurrection.

There's nothing common sense about promising to deliver massive change on day 1 of your Presidency and failing to do it within the 4 yr term.

There's nothing common sense about falling to hold to account the nation state that butchered one of your citizens because of the journalistic work they were doing.

There's nothing common sense about claiming an active genocide has nothing to do with your country after the President of your country, who's office you now hold funded that genocide.

Does anyone want me to go on?

Common sense isn't that common, is it?

And for the OP, there aren't several places here to say bad things about Trump. There's places to discuss his Presidencys and campaigns and it just so happens a lot of people dislike a lot about him. So what, deal with it. There's more.than enough evidence to support that dislike.

lots of positives.
I think of you can cut through the twitter crap he espouses and look at what he actually does, then it shouldn’t be difficult to understand why he was elected.
Governments in democracies swing like pendulums. Unfortunately they swing to far each direction, but that’s necessary. Things had gone crazy under Biden.
I do think uk will follow, unfortunately we have to wait four years

How's that health-care bill and border wall genius?

I said ‘many’, not ‘all’.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123087651#Comment_123087651You need to lookup how medians work

But if you can’t understand medians here is net household wealth by bands

Speaking of net wealth, the combined net wealth of trump cabinet is several orders of magnitude larger than Bidens

These people don’t worry about price of chicken eggs but Faberge eggs

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/12/06/trump-billionaires-cabinet-ethics/

But no amounts of facts and figures and statistics matters, it’s like arguing with religious people when comes to Trumpers, their saviour god king has arisen, constitution be damned

I'm aware of how medians work. I don't know why you would think otherwise.

More generally, I don't know what point you're trying to make. The data you post seems to confirm my viewpoint, not undermine it.

He was rightly abused for that. But, to be fair, we have to acknowledge that he also got - quite rightly - dog's abuse for a great many other things besides.

You went off on a tangent about inequality in US (which btw has also improved under Biden heading in a more European direction)

When replying to a comment about median current account balances which by the very nature of medians would account for extremes on both ends

And yes I well aware US has extremes of wealth, these extremes are now at the court of King Trump and you can bet the price of eggs is the least of their concerns

Trump is the leader the republicans always needed. He is the most unifying character in history, would remind you of a pacifist Napoleon!
