The Success of President Donald Trump

einsteinboricua · Mon Jan 08, 2018 12:20 pm

I'm willing to pin a success on Trump: the total eradication of irony and hypocrisy.

A Joe Average from a blue state defends an argument by stating that they have a bachelor's degree (or a graduate degree) from any university and conservatives rail on him because he's a liberal elite know-it-all, looking down and judging the majority of Americans.

Trump tweets he's a self-made billionaire and, like, really smart...nay...a genius, and a stable genius at that, and conservatives' hormones go berserk.

Another huge success for president Trump, Peter Hoekstra. I must say he also wears his tie like his master. What a twat.

Interesting, the US department for foreign affairs has denounced itself from statements made by Peter Hoekstra and effectively rendered him quite useless in the process. Apparently, this US ambassador doesn't speak on behalf of the US :lol:

The decision is now some weeks old. Actually, not much happened, well, at least compared to what I expected.

I am not sure if Trump's advisors analyzed what might happen after his announcement and came to the conclusion that it might be ok.
If they did, it seems that they got it right, I have to admit.

The Continued Success of President Donald J. Trump ~~ No Presidential Indiscretions

Monica Lewinsky reflects on the #MeToo movement and President Clinton's Gross Abuse of Power

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/02 ... e-of-metoo

What transpired between Bill Clinton and myself was not sexual assault, although we now recognize that it constituted a gross abuse of power. Now, at 44, I’m beginning (just beginning) to consider the implications of the power differentials that were so vast between a president and a White House intern. I’m beginning to entertain the notion that in such a circumstance the idea of consent might well be rendered moot.

He was my boss. He was the most powerful man on the planet. He was 27 years my senior, with enough life experience to know better. He was, at the time, at the pinnacle of his career, while I was in my first job out of college. I—we—owe a huge debt of gratitude to the #MeToo and Time’s Up heroines. They are speaking volumes against the pernicious conspiracies of silence that have long protected powerful men when it comes to sexual assault, sexual harassment, and abuse of power.

That's what was so disgusting to me about President Clinton's affair. It was a gross abuse of power of someone that worked under him.

Despite the will of the left to have this country fail. It will prosper.

I know deep down the left is hoping the situation with North Korea fails. We say the same thing with the war in Iraq and the left continued desire to have more dead us troops.

It is going to be comical when president Trump's gets the Nobel prize for his work on North Korea.

We are assuming you have solid proof of this. Facts and links to prove your claim?

Also, the unemployment rate trended down during the eight years Obama was president. That downward trend was called "weak" and "anemic" by right wing sources. The same "weak" and "anemic" trend is now praised as "strong." Gee.... I wonder what changed?
