First, it was raking the forests to prevent forest fires, then it was water-bombing Notre Dame cathedral from helicopters to put out the fire. Now, it’s dropping nuclear weapons on hurricanes to prevent them from reaching the mainland. No, these are not answers to questions in the “Dumbest Person in the World” contest. They are serious proposals from the president of the United States.
President Trump has suggested multiple times to senior Homeland Security and National Security officials that they explore using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes from hitting the United States. He is just itching to drop a nuke, he thinks it’s the biggest expression of power. He really is way more stupid than we had thought.
Just the term “free press” used to stand for something like respect for the president. Those days are long gone since president Trump took office with the liberal elites in the media wanting to set the tone for the country. Us folks in rural America just can’t afford those gated communities like those anti-president haters in the liberal media, but we sure like watching president Trump spank there little bottoms when he addresses them. You can’t help but love this president, and, boy, does that drive them crazy!
No, there shouldn’t be any more income tax cuts. This administration is spending more than it takes in. Look at the rise in the federal deficit. Sooner or later the bill will come due, and the most likely source of funds will come from cuts to your Social Security and Medicare. It’s just a matter of time, so instead of buying boats, campers, and other things you don’t need. Place your tax refund into a reserve for your retirement. If Trump is elected to a second and final term, the axe will fall as he won’t have to worry about another election.
God help us for the next 16 months.
It is evident that Trump is only interested in wealth and has NO forward vision. And that is HIS wealth not that of the country he supposed to put before anything else.
Democrats like Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, want to change the Supreme court from nine judges to 15, along with South Bend’s Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders and several more presidential candidates running on the Democratic side because they just don’t like these 5-to-4 decisions. With 59 district court judges and a record 43 appellate court judges appointed by President Trump along with two Supreme Court Justices, is this another case of the sore losers?
With all the millions pouring in from the tariffs, why is our deficit climbing at alarming rates?
Come this November, it will be three years since we elected our president. Yet, many still harbor resentment that Hillary lost-you see it in the Quickly comments every day. Cannot we just forget the bitterness from Hillary’s loss and reap the benefits of the new administration without the constant whining?
People who are insolent, rude, and contemptuous of others have found their soul-mate in Donald Trump (as he has with Putin and Kim). Who knew there were so many millions of them?
Thousands of jobs in manufacturing have been lost in the last two years in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, three of the states that put Trump in the White House. And only Trump knew how to fix the economy.
The problem with constant lying is trying to remember the lies you told so you do not contradict yourself. Sound familiar?
