    The things he really cares about are himself, making money, being seen as a successful business giant, his family. He cares in that order. He doesn't care about anything to do with our nation, or the citizens in it.

    The point I'm making in is that it's foolish to believe he cares about any of the stuff in his proposal. He's had 4 years to put anything like that into play. He hasn't. He's moved to go the other direction. Now he hopes to sucker some traditionally Democratic voters to either vote for him or not vote for Biden. That's all it is. It is the exact same thing he's done with healthcare, and tax breaks. It is no different. Nobody believes he means any of it.

    @bobrek

    That thread topic is the $500 billion. As far as people googling, like the last stupid ass argument, how can people google something they don't know about?

    Back when that thread was originally posted and folks clicked on the thread and read the thread, if they wanted to learn more about the plan, they could google, because at the time they read that thread they learned about it. Why is that so difficult to understand?

    The black side of my family tells me they believe that cops do not make neighborhoods safer. Of course, everyone wants their neighborhood to be safe. The disagreement is on how you get there. We know what Trump's approach is -- more guns, more cops, more aggression, shoot if you have to, more arrests, more incarceration, and less accountability. I don't think that'll make my whitish suburb safer, and I don't think it'll make a black inner-city neighborhood safer either. I'd rather see better schools, better infrastructure, better healthcare, better jobs, better job training, more safety net, more equity in homes and businesses. Safety will come when you eliminate the dysfunction.

    This is literally the first post in that thread. The words "platinum plan" are not in the title but the thread is about the platinum plan.

    --------------------------------------------------
    https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/trump-rolls-out-500b-plan-for-black-communities/1986011

    "If you vote Republican, over the next four years we will create three million new jobs for the Black community, open 500,000 new Black-owned businesses, increase access to capital in Black communities by $500 billion," he said, maintaining his plan would also have the "highest standards for policing."

    The plan, a copy of which was posted by the Trump campaign, would also call for the prosecution of the Ku Klux Klan and Antifa as terrorist organizations, though how that would be accomplished is unclear. Legally, there is no domestic terrorism statute for such a plan to be actualized.

    -- repub across board seeing increase of capital, strong tax breaks for outside investors in these communities, better education a better draw than glamorizing criminals

    -----------------------------------------------------

    See the part I bolded? That is what led me to go find it on the Trump campaign website. That is where the link you were specifically looking for when you started this thread exists. So while the thread title didn't mention the words "platinum plan" that is what the thread was originally about.

    I know....that is why I bolded the part that says it is on the Trump campaign web site. That is why I said that those interested in finding out more could google and get it from the Trump campaign web site or the link I posted last night for your benefit.

    So its not that thread and therefore the specifics aren't discussed in that thread. Like i said last night, the actual plan needs to be discussed instead of incorrect summaries

    For instance criminal justice reform isn't mentioned in that thread

    I have time for a stupid ass Bobrek argument today

    Sorry, you're not making too much sense. You said that you believed Trump cared about somethings. I never claimed you said anything other than that. I told you what Trump cares about and why it isn't interesting or surprising that Trump would lie about this platinum plan in an election year. It follows a pattern of his lying about programs and plans in election years.

    Maybe slowing down will help? I don't know, but I'll continue talking when you start making some sense again.

    Exactly. I said there are things he cares about. You went on to argue that he really doesn't about this which i never said he did

    You think aside from himself and his family there are no national topics he cares about?

    And no where did I mention that everything was discussed in that thread. It's just another point of reference. No where did I say this thread is useless. You're the one that turned this into an argument. Let's look at my original involvement in this thread.

    You posted a few times and then I posted a link to a previous thread on this subject.
    You responded saying this was the "platinum plan"
    I responded that I knew and it was announced around 09/28.
    You then said that thread was a summary and not the actual plan.
    I helpfully posted the link that you were asking how to link to in post number 3. At least I assumed it was helpful since you liked the post.
    Juan Valdez came in today and said this was the first he heard about it.
    I innocently mentioned it had been discussed before.
    You got mad.

    Correct. That is all he cares about. If he cared about any national issues, he would bother learning how government works, the United States Constitution, the powers of the Executive and Legislative Branch, etc. He only cares about any national issues as much as they will effect the things he cares about which are himself, making money, and staying out of jail.

    I appreciate you posting the link. Its not posted in that thread. I actually feel really stupid for not just copying the link instead of opening it and trying to link it. Lesson learned

    The $500 billion is not the plan. The term platinum plan may have been mentioned but it wasn't posted so why are you harping on it. Juanvaldez didnt see it either so apparently the thread is beneficial to him so why in the **** do you keep talking about the other thread?

    All that maybe true that doesn't mean his proposals aren't worthy of discussion
