Poetic Justice or What?
New Yorkers don't like Trump.
They have started a petition to request that the stretch of Fifth Avenue between 56th and 59th be renamed President Barack H. Obama Avenue.
If it gets the green light, Trump Tower will have a new address.

pete you havent begun to understand trump. the thought of 90,000 snowflakes worked up into a foaming tizzy, feeds his ego. you are not giving him the finger, you’re doing exactly what he wants you to do. trump doesn’t live rent free in anyone’s head more than yours. he eats it up, how can you not see that? he’s making you all crazy. batsh*t crazy.
the right hated obama. we responded with the tea party, which was an amazing political success. how has the left responded to trump? antifa, hissy fits, endless accusations of russian collusion and racism, nominating candidates who are sprinting to the left of Pol Pot.

You've been watching too much Faux, remember "Mexico will pay for the wall", Obamacare, Trade deals, bringing troops home, deporting all illegal immigrants, ditching NATO, reinstating torture, infrastructure and nobody can negotiate like Trump. None of these things have come to fruition, have they?
Mueller’s report confirmed that Donald Trump was actively seeking the Russian government’s approval of a Trump Tower Moscow project while running for president in 2015 and 2016. At that time, Trump vehemently denied having any business interests in Russia. This constitutes a gross violation of the public’s trust. It is not illegal. But in a sane world, it would be politically fatal.

Unfortunately I do understand Trump and see him for what he is, a con man.
If anyone lives in someones head, it's Hillary and Obama in Trumps and yours.
So just how is that Tea Party working now that it is Trumpified?
The Tea Party movement WAS an American fiscally conservative political movement within the Republican Party. Members of the movement called for lower taxes, and for a reduction of the national debt of the United States and federal budget deficit through decreased government spending.
Deficit over a TRILLION, but don't worry 6x BANKRUPT Donnie Trump is in charge. Nobody knows bankruptcy like Donald Trump.
As he said, There's always a tweet for that, just need to change the name.
The deficits under @realDonaldTrump are the highest in America's history. Why is he bankrupting our country? |

as a response
to obama
and the thumping the gop took at all levels in 2008, the tea party was a stunning success, look at the comeback the gop has since then. from a debt perspective, the gop blew the chance they were given, no question.
the point was, when the gop got creamed, they rolled
up their sleeves and went back to work. when the democrats got annihilated in 2016, they threw a collective temper tantrum that hasn’t begun to abate.

Market seems to indicate trouble on the horizon, if the recession comes Trump better get his legal team ready, because that was his only Trump card. I personally feel he has alienated far to many voters to win another term, but a far left democratic candidate and continued strong economy would give him an outside chance.

So dramatic, only an idiot believes this economy can continue and that the next recession isn’t right around the corner. Your “best president ever” had a cake walk and the easiest start for any president ever, good luck when the #^&#^&#^&#^& hits the fan with an impulsive leader, one who refuses to heed the advice of anyone. Of course then there is the problem of the lack of qualified people, either empty or post being held by temps.

The market is NOT the economy, so I don’t really care, other than it can be an indicator of trouble to come. I give Trump credit for riding the good economy wave and even a rookie could ride that wave.

This doesn't make sense. Trump has done things via taxes and regulations that were supposed to destroy the economy, not enable him to continue riding its dramatic upward scale. There is a major disconnect here that makes your statement unconvincing . . . even doubtful or erroneous (we won't refer to it as it would be said about Trump if he had said it--that is we won't say it is a lie). |

If you gauge the economy by the market, yes I’d agree the tax cuts certainly gave a big shot in the arm for corporate profits, top earners and the market. When deregulation f*cks the environment for bottom line, sorry I don’t see that as a win for anyone but those profiting by the move.

Job numbers are way up over what was expected as a new normal in the economy pre-Trump. Wages are up. I get more take home pay. Inflation is not more onerous than it was for me under Obama when I saw prices in the things I bought go way up 50 or more percent even though we were told that inflation was practically non-existent. People still want to come here in droves. The U.S. economy is expanding better than most.
I just don't see the evidence that your narrative holds water. |
