Poll of the Day > Assume for a sec you like Trump and he wasn't an uncouthe weirdo

(+) Yeah! (+)

What did he even do in office that was a positive?

Like, try to REALLY Steelman his position, give him MAXIMUM possible benefit........ what did he do?

I mean, at least Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama (the presidents I remember during my lifetime) had wars to settle and peacekeeping missions in the post-cold war east, Saddam Hussain and such... foreign relief during some major natural disasters (hurricane katrina and the japanse tsunamis come to mind)

But Trump's presidency feels like it was relatively........ empty?

IDK, I'm not American

He gave away free hamburgers sometimes. That's pretty cool of him, really

---

He said covfefe which was hilarious

He attacked that Syrian guy who just started killing families and children

He rescued rich people from taxes

---

He didn't start any new wars, I'll give him that.

But to your point TC, did you notice that none of his commercials advertised any positive changes except for vague comments like 'make America great again'? No health care plan, nothing for veterans, nothing. Literally just MAGA and 'Sleepy Joe is going to let the socialists ruin the country'. Only fear mongering, because he has no plans save for grifting his cult

i guess I liked how aggressive he was on China?

Unrelated, but doesn't warrant new topic...

Look at this douchbag

He threw paper towels at hurricane victims, then tried to limit the aid they received. That was nice of him.

This is also the one thing that jumps to my mind.

Also, as someone who isn't American, it also was sometimes funny to watch from a distance.

True but I feel like it was basically a bit of a crapshoot and more down to chance due to his erratic behaviour.

I aren't convinced his actions towards Iran have had any sort of stabilizing effect and I personally don't condone assassination as a tool of diplomacy.

He also complained that they ruined his budget, like while they were still counting the dead.

He said some mean things on twitter but he didn't do anything.

I guess the only positive is he gave dairy farmers the ability to sell to canada

Cut a lot of stupid government regulations down.

Unemployment went way down before COVID.

Lowered a lot of medicine costs.

Pulled out of the shitty Paris Climate Accord

Got the furthest with North Korean relations than any other president.

Killed that one terrible Iranian general.

And I just liked how he wasn't afraid to whip his dick out at China, Iran, NK, ect. and remind them that America runs this bitch.

lmao fuckin got 'em Mead

"Cutting regulations" isn't some unequivocally good thing, that's a very loaded phrase.

Actually almost all of these are subjective. And when they aren't, who cares about unemployment and shit when people can still work like 60 hours and barely survive, or lowered drug costs that are probably still unaffordable on top of all the other exorbitant medical costs.

I know the same could pretty much be said for Obama's "accomplishments", but I think Obama sucks too lol

---

Also I like that this guy used a dick-waving metaphor as a positive thing. That's a thing people say to make fun of blustery leaders lol

---

Did you know that the people of Costa Rica are known as "Costars"... thanks Trump

Ive said it before but vetoing the patriot act was a step in the right direction for getting rid of that bullshit even though biden will ultimately approve it after getting in office

Technically the patriot act is already out, it expired - I can't remember what its replacement was called though

Provisions of the patriot act have been continued since its original inception. The most recent iteration allowed the FBI and other agencies to view US Citizens browser history without a warrant among the other previous titles that are still included in the act.

On March 10, 2020, Jerry Nadler proposed a bill to reauthorize the Patriot Act, and it was then approved the majority of US House of Representatives after 152 Democrats joined the GOP in supporting the extension.[14] The surveillance powers of the Patriot Act needed renewal by March 15, 2020,[12] and after it expired, the U.S. Senate approved an amended version of the bill.[13] After President Donald Trump threatened to veto the bill, the House of Representatives issued an indefinite postponement of the vote to pass the Senate version of the bill; as of June 2020, the Patriot Act remains expired.[259]
