Trump

[lsz]

Yes. My view is that to have a balanced debate we should understand the pros and cons of each others position. What we agree and disagree with on both sides of politics. Who knows, we might even find some common ground. But it seems all you want to do is post anti-trump press articles and ask me to respond. If I have misunderstood, I apologise.

Huh?

if you are taking about the clips I just posted I thought I was clear saying ignore the commentary etc.

I have addressed your points with sources to the contrary. I am happy to read any sources you provide

There are so so many more. Honestly he is an older man in a high pressure job so you would expect some strain but he is not a clear speaker

Yes you are right Trump is Older but he is still a Strong Leader who has had Bullets flying past his temple and not be Fazed . No Woke Democratic Stop Work. Are you ok ? and take time of for Counseling.
For Trump it was the Great American Resilient way where the Show must go on Regardless of set backs and Drama . Trump still has the Great Attributes of Courage , Strengths and Resilience that we expect from Leaders in Times of Turbulence.

Trump is also a notable Workaholic and His dedication and diligence in working around the clock and getting things done and providing more media interviews than any other Leader we have seen .

The Moral of the Trump Story
He is older but he is also more Experienced More Confident and more Bolder .
His Ability To become the President once again against all odds is a testimony to his Resilient character .

Trump said pretty clearly that grocery prices will drop with him as president.

now he says he doesn't care about them.

I would feel betrayed if I'd voted for him.

With 20 lies on Day 1, will Trump break first-term record of 30,573 untruths?

In the interest of a more balanced debate, which you yourself asked for several posts ago, I sought to understand your views on specific democratic policies (open borders, trans sports etc) and whether there was any conservative policies you agreed with. It’s called trying to find middle ground, by talking about specific policies rather than batting anti trump propaganda back and forth.

In response, you ignored my attempt at a more balanced discussion, and instead reverted to posting something about trump destroying freedom of the press.

How about we agree that you believe trump is destroying free speech, and I believe free speech has long been under threat from a wide range of leftist policies and the overwhelming bias of western mainstream media. Banning AP from some invitation only WH meetings (where plenty of other leftist media continue to be over represented) does little to counter that imbalance.

If your concept of a balanced debate is you posting anti trump media pieces and asking for a response, then I think we should move on.

Going to leave the first part of the question as we have already gone down that path

Lets talk about his approach to press. This is a great read How the Trump Administration Is Changing the White House Briefing Room but I know you find clicking links a tough task so I will pull some things out of it

For decades, 49 permanent seats have been determined by the independent White House Correspondents’ Association. Reporters in the front rows of these seats are usually called on more often.

And in March, the White House said that it would consider taking control of the reporters’ seating chart, in its latest move to shape who covers the president.

Ms. Leavitt then called on nine people for questions. The only question not about Signal came from Ms. Castronuova of LindellTV, who was standing along the perimeter. “Why are Democrats so against election integrity measures, like obviously, proof of citizenship,” she asked, “when it comes to voting in the United States election?”

I do think there is a valid debate over new media and its role in things like this however if you have ever watched anything of Mike Lindell you could argue pretty easily it is far from media

There are definitely some media agencies that have an anti trump bias however I would argue that the impact of the fox news pro trump stance has been far more damaging although that is based only on my personal view...as I feel like providing sources is somewhat useless

Trump wanted CNN to give him money for access.

A Donald Trump ally has a suggestion for Warner Bros. Discovery: Why don't you pay us or give us a TV show?

Donald Trump is suing some media companies. But he's also open to deals with them, like one with WBD that could include money, programming, or both.

Sorry what? Are you confusing me with someone else?

We have only ever talked about the Muller report, a little about the riots and the media.

I have some very strong views on the trans issue which I have never stated on here. I have never even talked about open borders nor any policy discussion

I am sorry if I missed your questions directed to me but it is incredibly misleading to state you have tried to engage in conversation when there has been nothing that I can see

Forget it. I can’t be any clearer. Let’s move on, thanks.

Gee what a shock.

In all my time here this has to be one of the most bizarre discussions I have ever had

Funny, I feel the same way. Thank God it’s over.

Honestly I could not let this go considering how misleading I believe this approach has been especially during our earlier conversations when there was discussion over the Muller report and then his performance in front of a mic.

Nothing about free speech etc.

I went back through this whole thread and did miss where on post 152 where you asked me

"is there anything on the conservative side of the political spectrum that you believe has merit, or conversely, is there anything to the left of the political spectrum that you disagree with eg open borders, trans people in woman’s sports, defunding police etc? Genuine question."

I apologise as I did not see it.

If this was something you would like to actually discuss in good faith I would rather try to understand what you think the "trans people in womans sport, defund the police" actually is as I find it difficult to actually understand what the actual policy stance is.

Anyone think China will dump their $1.3 Trillion in US bonds?

If so it would be catastrophic for USA

1.3 trillion doesn't seem a lot in the scheme of things in the US. With all the cost cutting measures and money saved since Trump been Pres. Anyway, lets wait and see.

1) could damage the dollar a lot
2) could scare others into selling bonds.
3) value of bonds becomes volatile.

It's a big card China hold.

 

[manlyfan76]

In the meantime manufacturing jobs and businesses have come roaring back to the US under Trump. The best since 2022.

Interesting comments from Apple CEO.
