He didnt negotiate anything. The legislation was 99% already there when he took office. He just slapped his name on it. The only thing he has accomplished is to stuff the court with unqualified loyalists to him and undo 75 years of what previous presidents worked hard for and thousands upon thousands of American soldiers died for. He's the do nothing big talk president. And you morAns worship him like a god
But what did he actually do? He didn't have much of a hand in his own tax bill except for the gimmees to his friends and himself, and he didn't negotiate NAFTA in any meaningful way - he basically got nothing but made a few superficial changes to save face while congress wrote the core. He spends his days watching tv, following the media, and golfing. He truly does nothing.
Apart from insults do you have anything of substance to bring to the conversation ? If not, just unnecessary nuisance.
No, he doesn’t. Never has. What he considers “substance” is exactly what he posted. A snide comment. An incredibly poor attempt at an insult. Substance frightens him. He runs from it, and he is not alone. He has “friends” here who specialize in exactly the same thing, who are frightened just as much as he is. Go to some trouble to post substance in response to something one of them says that you know to be untrue, prove it to be untrue, and the odds are excellent that you won’t even get a reply. They run away. They can’t handle the truth, and appear incapable of replying to substance with substance.

By The Editorial Board Dec. 27, 2019 5:37 pm ET President Trump is far from a shoo-in for re-election, but win or lose in 2020 his legacy already includes advancing a new generation of highly professional, constitutional federal judges. Working with the Federalist Society on selecting nominees, and with Mitch McConnell leading a largely unified Republican Senate on confirmations, Mr. Trump is reshaping the judiciary to protect fundamental liberties and the original meaning of the Constitution. In addition to Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, Mr. Trump has appointed and the upper chamber has confirmed 187 judges to the federal bench in his first three years. This includes 133 district-court judges who try federal cases such as securities fraud, immigration and antitrust. The list also includes 50 judges to the federal circuit courts that hear appeals and are influential in defining the law since the Supreme Court hears relatively few cases. That’s more than twice the rate under President Obama, who appointed 55 circuit judges over two terms. One reason for the faster pace is then Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision in 2013 to kill the filibuster for judges, so 41 Senators can no longer block a nominee. The Trump-McConnell judiciary may be Harry’s finest achievement. When Mr. Trump took office, Democratic appointees made up a majority on nine of the 13 circuit courts. In 2019 Mr. Trump’s appointments flipped three appellate courts: the Second Circuit, which covers New York, Vermont and Connecticut; the Third Circuit, which covers Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; and the Eleventh Circuit, which covers Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Seven circuits now have a majority of Republican appointees, according to Judiciary Tracker. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers most of the Western U.S. and is especially influential for immigration law, has been characterized for decades by liberal judicial overreach. Yet thanks to recent Senate confirmations, the Ninth Circuit is now closely divided with 16 Democratic appointees and 13 Republican appointees. Expect fewer headlines featuring nationwide injunctions out of San Francisco. The media are largely focusing on these numbers as if the courts are mini-legislatures where majority rule prevails. That’s how progressives tend to think, and Democrats have long thought of courts as legislatures of appeal where they can go to achieve policy outcomes that fail in Congress or with public opinion. But the importance of this new wave of judges is that the federal courts are less likely to become a political refuge. Legal thinking on the right is far from monolithic. This was visible at the U.S. Supreme Court last term, where the conservative Justices broke ranks three times as often as the liberals in 5-4 cases. The new wave of conservative judges is more likely to protect such core liberties as religious freedom, political speech and assembly, gun and property rights. Many will also be more alert to violations of the Constitution’s separation of powers, including regulatory abuses. Yet there are varying opinions on criminal law, executive authority, and the scope of judicial restraint, among other issues. Liberals are right to perceive that constitutionalist judging could frustrate some progressive designs. That’s why some of these confirmations have been so ugly. White House lawyer Steven Menashi was called a white nationalist for a pro-Israel law-review article, and former Nevada Solicitor General Lawrence VanDyke had to endure a drive-by smear by the liberal American Bar Association. Mr. Menashi, age 40, was confirmed last month to the Second Circuit, and the 47-year-old Mr. VanDyke this month to the Ninth. May they serve for decades. A new era of originalism in the courts should be good for the law, and for the public reputation of the judiciary as nonpartisan interpreter of the Constitution. Such an era may even be good for progressives, who will have to win their arguments the old-fashioned way—via political debate and elections.
Court appointments is something every president does. And what he is doing is dangerous http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/how-trump-is-radicalizing-the-legal-system.302965/
Actually many bills they have passed with bi-partisan support in the House and still have been ignored by Moscow Mitch. There ya go.
Lol. Fortunately the Dems actually made it better for the American worker while Trump just wanted to sign the TPP 2.0. It’s hilarious, we had this framework of trade deal and all Trump did was added something about autos and slapped his name on it.... As a Texan I’m not sure what this bad trade deal you speak of is... Texas has benefitted greatly from NAFTA and globalization.... Not my problem a bunch of wiener states can’t hack it.
