Trump so far are you better economically now in his second term?

[dougie]

darnoldrocks, I think you are going to see a bunch of countries sign new deals over the next few weeks. I think Israel, Vietnam, Japan, and India will be the next ones to jump aboard. The market, with gains now in 12 of the last 13 days love this good news. If China decides to come to the table and work out a deal, there's no limit on how high the market can go. Stay tuned.....

There are meetings scheduled with China this weekend in Switzerland for tariff talks, maybe they can make some headway on a deal, but I think China may be a hard nut to crack depending on how bad their economy is struggling.

kantseeback, from what I read in the foreign press, China's economy is in deep trouble. Over 40% of their exports go to the American consumer. It would behoove them to make a deal.

The main stumbling block may be XI's stubbornness. If the economy over there causes a major uproar it may force his hand, in the meantime we can make deals with all of the friendly countries.

kantseeback,  I agree 100%.

Stubbornness or stupidity?

Stubbornness-why does Xi need to “KISS” Trump’s ASS?
FYI, he has his own agenda just like Trump! Right/wrong, good/bad!

Stupidity—Trump’s tariffs!  Shouldn’t even bf in this situation!  More important things to accomplish in the world today!

this is a little off topic but here it goes the company that I retired from but returned to work for maintains affordable housing for seniors. We have new builds going on at this time due to the deportation policy 80 % of the workers vanished. Project is at least a four month delay .Workers replaced with white guys with coffee in one hand cell phone in the other ...Prevailing rate job and workers can't  be found. Going to need 2 white guys too replace 1 brown guys .. job creation GOP style...   Hey its all good i am making extra money trying to offset Trumps bullshit

FUCKIN ridicuolous youees peoples LOVE for the COWARD DRAFT DODGIN,BALLONNHEAD.
His deal with UK is nuttin. It just the beginnin if anythin of negotiations. It just his dailey SHITSHOW,everyday for PHOTO-OPS,so he can talk over everyone and then have his selected press ask the same simple questions and he can rant ON and ON with his same answers: Will see and time will tell.
+HOW BOUT THIS".
TRUMP and his MINIONS now going: Well,if RUSSIA and UKRAIN can't reach a agreement then I "THE KING " will step away. My promise to end the WAR on me first day in office,was as everyone knew a TOTAL FUCKIN LIE.
NOW the FAT FUCKIN DRAFT DOGIN COWARD BALLOON sayin: I negotiated a peace deal between RWANDA and the CONGO. Here he goes with the "CONGO" again. I had no idea they were even at WAR with each other. And did not know the CONGO had any troops. Accordin to the DRAFT DODGIN FUC,every male in the CONGO was a criminal and is in the USA.
This one even better.
The DRAFT DODGIN FUC now sayin,he gonna be the PEACEMAKER between INDIA and PAKISTAN. Laughable as this FUC says he and only he is cabable of bein the negotiater to stop. That why he goin next week to SAUDI,UAE,QUTER. Nuttin to do with PEACE. All to do with his CORRUPT SONS and buildin TRUMP GOLF courses there.
Hows them hostages in GAZA doin. DRAFT DODGIN FUC said they would all be released on his first day in office. And his new thin. The HOUTHIES begged me to stop bombing them. Sure they did. His statement that they will not attck shippin anymore in RED SEA and surrondin areas. The COWARD FUC,most likely made a deal to stop attackin for a period while he headin in their direction next week. The DRAFT DODGIN COWARD is PETRIFIED he could be a casuality.

And now we all see the real problem posted by someone here. Not a bunch of politicians “running their mouths “ when they don’t know the real deal!

John Frank   .....   You have your own little category on PLOP called Politics, where you get no responses, except from yourself.    Please stay over there and don't plague another category with your senseless drivel.   If I want to hear what you have to say, I know exactly where to find you.   

[darnoldrocks]

Rainman and talkstohisself  ....   It is my experience that when hourly labor rates get too high and or labor can't be found, automation is introduced.  When that happens, the number of employed goes down, but the higher paying, skilled jobs goes up.  What Americans need to get their heads around, at some point are we going to need to provide a guaranteed national income.

d.rocks  I am totally on board with a basic universal income  my personal belief this mindset of the current admin  it will never happen. universal medical /dental care should be a priority. preventive med care also high on  list  When i was in grammer school they came to the school and performed basic dental care. as far as i know this doesnt  happen anymore .When you bring up basic income, you are branded a socialist .I could go on  but dont want to put you to sleep

How is socialism working in other countries??  Not very well. Sooner or later the producers get tired of working for the slackers. For the guy chirping about no construction workers. Maybe his company shouldn’t have been hiring illegal aliens that don’t pay taxes

darnoldrocks, as usual, you hit it on the head. There is little chance of changing any minds of the anti-Trump folks. I never read the responses. You shouldn't either. Time will tell which side will wind up right. I'll keep the faith with President Trump. Hopefully, things will work out.

For better/worse, the “anti-Trump group has a right to review, critique, criticize, mock, laugh at, et al. Maybe you should read and perhaps learn from what others say instead of being totally ignorant of the world around you.
Correct, time will tell if things become better or worse. Not many people in the entire world have faith in Trump!  The entire world is laughing their asses off at him and America because of what he says, acts like, and does!  Let’s all hope things will work out!  Right now, it isn’t working out!  SAD BUT TRUE!!

Talking about senseless drivel, take a good look at yourself in the mirror!

He has a right to be here just like you do!

Please stop your whining and crying!

FYI, the letter from Trump, McMahon, and the Department of Education got ridiculed, mocked from Harvard and the entire world for its structure. Drivel at it’s finest!

If you don’t like it, you know how to leave too!

Thanks for posting.
