Trump hates the POOR, Children, and Rural America.

Don't forget puppies, he hates puppies especially poor mixed puppies.

 

The fact is he made it up and the fact is you'll never admit it. Go back to your alt-reality and stop wasting people's time.

 

Well, it's already broken and yes, I think most acknowledge we have "massive issues" -- they are so massive that a lot of otherwise well-meaning decent people actually voted for the titanic unhinged narcissist in chief.

Taking the shreds of any support net away from rural America, while not investing in anything that will really help them (other than the complete myth of trickle down) is pretty darned near cruel, if you ask me. (Shrug.) Wormtongue gonna Wormtongue. Not a good dude.

 

Donald Trump: America's Marie Antoinette
​

On Thursday, Donald Trump released his budget for 2017, which proposes slashing programs that help some of our nation's most vulnerable citizens, including the poor and the elderly. And then Trump,

in his own "let them eat cake" moment, jetted off 24 hours later to spend another weekend at his luxurious private country club Mar-a-Lago, a place described as akin to the Palace of Versailles.​

Trump's opulent Mar-a-Lago is an estate that Marie Antoinette would have felt right at home in. It boasts 16th century Flemish tapestries, lavish oriental rugs and a Louis XIV-style ballroom added by Trump that includes $7 million in gold leaf on the walls.

Now if Trump were simply spending his weekends at Mar-a-Lago on his own dime, that would be one thing. But he's not. You, I and every other taxpayer are the ones paying for the five trips Trump has taken there since being sworn in as President.


In other words, instead of spending money on those most in need, Trump is wasting taxpayer dollars on a lavish lifestyle he is seeking to maintain.

Politico has estimated that we pay $3 million each weekend that Trump travels to his palatial country club. That means Trump's five getaways have cost taxpayers in the neighborhood of $15 million for expenses associated with Secret Service, Air Force One, etc.

And that doesn't even include the nearly $1 million in local tax dollars spent by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's office to protect Trump when he stays at Mar-a-Lago.

Best business deal Trump ever made.

Brand recognition through the roof. Living an insanely lavish lifestyle for free. Changing laws so his friends can get bank loans. Doing solids for his buddies at WWE and Fox News. Pouring tax dollars into his golf courses and residencies, etc.

Guy is smarter than given credit for.

 

Yeah, he's smart. He's still a hypocrite.

"As President Donald Trump touts job creation for Americans as a top priority, his son's Virginia winery is seeking permission to hire foreign workers to cultivate its grapes."

It's almost unfair the amount of **** we can pile on this administration.

 

Long special report on how Trump's withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the impact it has had on rural America (those less willing to read the long report can see the short analysis from MSNBC). Jeff Flake, not a big Trump fan nowadays, tweeted about the Politico piece:



Trump’s Trade Pullout Roils Rural America

Rural America feels the effects of Trump’s trade policies

Rural America pretty much deserve the **** that Trump is dumping on them every which way.

 

Agreed. Little sympathy for people who voted so much against their interests.

 

They look Great to me.

Wow...
For his part, Trump once promised a slew of “beautiful” deals to replace the TPP, but his administration has yet to lay out a detailed strategy. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told lawmakers that an analysis is underway to determine where it makes most sense to pursue negotiations.

...

Lighthizer said the administration still hopes to strike bilateral trade deals—that is, separate agreements with individual countries—but he conceded that "some of the TPP countries don't want to do bilaterals." The value of the TPP for many countries was that they could justify giving up protective tariffs in exchange for their own access to the markets of a wide pool of countries; many are unwilling to make such concessions for the smaller gains of a bilateral deal.

 

I mean you have to be pretty ignorant or uneducated to not have understood that the massive party deals create more opportunities for concessions.

A lot of Americans think that we should be making the world kiss our feet for our products and that we don't need their markets. All we need is for foreigners to stop flooding our markets! Who cares if we sell our stuff in China!

 

Especially when in the not too distant future Chinese market will be much larger than the US market, check out the auto market in China today as an example.

 

Today I learned all rural residents in the U.S. work in agriculture.

Yay!
