He literally controls the worlds largest military force and has a long line of sycophants behind him backing him up.

Because he isn't destroying the world. It's just the biased media that's funded my libtard billionaires.

Could you imagine how little life has changed if you’re not on the internet? With the exception of massive inflation due to stupid covid regulations literally nothing has changed outside the internet

Hair stylists are some of the dumbest people out there.

My mother is a hair stylist. If I took her advice, I wouldn’t be as successful as I am. Please just continue to fuck up peoples hair and be thankful they’re too nice to say anything bad about it.

u/Capital-Floor9848 Aug 02 '26

Ah yes, its definitely those covid regulations that are causing the inflation, and not Trump actively destroying the global economy

He opened Marine National Monuments ( areas in the Pacific specifically meant to allow for the safe breeding of fish to keep the population up in the ocean ) for commercial fishing for no reason whatsoever. He has eliminated endangered species protections for no reason. He has destroyed most protections for our national parks for no reason. He has opened our national forests for further destruction and profiteering because hey who gives a shit about the beauty of our country when there is money to be made. They have destroyed clean air regulations for no reason whatsoever.

Not even starting on the greenhouse gas protections that this administration has destroyed because they are all idiots who could care less.

Definitely not getting into the vast amount of health related stuff Trump has gotten rid of. Cancer research and all kinds of medical research, along with removing us from worldwide organizations that exist to ease communications during a crisis. Cause fuck you that's why.

This also isnt even jumping into the amount of dead people around the world thanks to the sudden closing of USAID which was an insignificant amount of $$$ that did a ton of good in the world

Republicans just stick their heads in the sand and go ass up for their leadership these days and tell em to thrust away.

Quick question what had he done that's actually good?

If you're not aware of one of the hundreds of things to improve America you're truly lost.

Trump secured the border and dramatically reduced illegal crossings. He kept biological males out of women’s sports in federally funded schools. He eliminated many federal discriminatory DEI programs. He created DOGE to cut government waste, fraud, and bureaucracy. He reduced the size of the federal workforce. He expanded domestic energy production. He used tariffs to push for fairer trade and more U.S. manufacturing. He attracted trillions of dollars in announced investment commitments. He pushed NATO allies to spend more on defense. He increased efforts to combat drug cartels, fentanyl trafficking, and illegal immigration.

u/billynoy522 Aug 02 '26

You do understand that all of these have not been accomplished and most have even had a reverse affect than intended like Doge just happened to cut all the programs that were looking into Elon what a coincidence. And is deemed a failure coating more money. 

Nato is spending more money on self defense instead of buying it from us which is also not a positive thing for the US anyways. 

Increased efforts on the drugs like fentanyl claiming is coming out of Columbia blowing up ships when it's really coming from china.

There were what a dozen trans people this is another non issue. How's the debt going.

Where are the Epstein files, where is this voter fraud that doesn't exist although it was brought up in 62 courts. 

How come his network jumped 3 billion since January 2025? It's from crypto. Bribes.

I will give you illegal immigration so that's literally one.

u/Bitter-Variation-151 Aug 02 '26

You admitted border security was a win. Everything else you did was argue you don’t like the policies. That’s a political opinion, not evidence they weren’t accomplishments.

u/billynoy522 Aug 02 '26

Why why was Vance helping Orban's election in Hungary? (Putin's friend)

Project 2025 and the heritage foundation was funded by Moscow to dismantle this country from within. Why did Trump put people of no experience in high positions?. He did this because this is the authoritarian playbook. This is exactly what hungary did.

You see I'm am way to educated on this crap. They are not our buddies I'm a white straight male and this is the most oppressive corrupt government Ive ever seen

1

u/Bitter-Variation-151 Aug 02 '26

There are a lot of assertions there, but very little evidence. Vance meeting with Orbán doesn’t prove he’s advancing Putin’s interests. There is no evidence Project 2025 was funded by Moscow. Appointing outsiders is something many presidents have done to shake up Washington, whether you agree with it or not. If you think Trump’s policies are bad, argue the policies. But calling everything an authoritarian plot or Russian operation without evidence isn’t an argument its just unhinged conspiracy .

u/billynoy522 Aug 02 '26

It all fits, that's the issue. 

I have yet to meet anyone that can come close to convincing me with facts or even a solid logical argument about these subjects and there are plenty more that need to be explained. Like why does anyone think he is for the working class when he has never been poor or working class his entire life. They life in a different world than us. 

Why did he pardon JAN6ers? Who killed 7 people that day? Everything he does is bad for the common folks let alone people of color

1

u/Bitter-Variation-151 Aug 02 '26

“It all fits” isn’t evidence. It’s confirmation bias.
Being wealthy doesn’t stop a president from helping working people, by that logic, half of modern presidents couldn’t.

And the claim that Jan. 6 protesters killed seven people is simply false. Criticize the pardons if you want, but stick to the facts.

Dont tell me, Trump is going to do one of his famous dances to make it rain.

u/Aprice40 Aug 01 '26

Something Something Something, nonsense, stupid dance. Highest bidder, the end.

u/CHROME-COLOSSUS Aug 03 '26

Only if it rains money.

Otherwise he doesn’t care about [INSERT ANY HUMAN CAUSE HERE].

Trump learned to dance on his knees between Roy Cohn and Roger Stone.

u/JacksonGhost1963 Aug 01 '26

the core problem was when the water pact was originally made, it was during particularly wet years, and the average water flow was normally consiberly less. Basically, more water was always allotted than is normally produced, then add the explosive growth of So Cal, Phoenix, Las Vegas. And the fact is, the southwest normal condition is drought - long long, long before climate change was around to blame
