Make America great Again! I love it. The media isn't believed because they lie, lie, lie. Comedians are comedians of course they will make jokes, who cares. Trump is doing exactly what I wanted when I voted for him, put America first, and not give a shit what the world or the media thinks. People have more faith in our economy now than under Obama because they know he will do whats needed, not what the media wants. That stock market just goes up and up, the people have so much confidence in the economy. Than to top it all off the left is showing exactly who they are, intolerant, whiny, closed minded, selfish people. Obama may have started the creation of a new generation of conservatives, but the media and the left are feeding it so much more.

Stopping criminal illegal immigrants (those who can't be vetted before coming in via Mexico), incentivising corporations to keep jobs in the US, keeping businesses in the US, recognising the current biggest threat to western civilisation (Islamic terrorism) so that it can be eradicated, and bypassing the MSM so that he can speak straight to the people who elected him.

It should result in the people of the US regaining trust in the establishment and a safer, more prosperous America.

I see the man doing nothing but good, and he is being crucified for it. Yes he's a blowhard, but let him do what he was voted in to do and then hold him to account if and when he fucks it up. The MSM are getting outraged over everything he says, when as far as I can tell the only thing he has really fucked up was the handling of the travel ban. Not that I could have done it better, but surely it could have been done better. 

1. People aren't being necesarily angry at Trump for wanting to be strict with immigration, but his obvious poor handling of a delicate situation, stranding thousands of people in uncertainty and still planning on building a border wall with Mexico which I don't know if I should find it funny or outright scary any sane person could perceive such a preposterous plan as a good idea.

2. No it's not, most Anglo-Saxon media outlests are quite centrists.

Left wing groups in universities are generally better organized then right wing ones, we can't help that our cause seems to fire up people more. But saying that official education sources are spewing left-wing "propaganda" is nonsense.

I've seen your writings over the years. It's not because you build a giant house of a foundation of nothing but air that collapses as soon as you blink at it that you're a good filosopher.

3. Do you even understand geopolitics? Merkel is a chief point of power for the centrists in the EU, but her power doesn't really stretches much further and her term is nearly done anyway. "China, despite it's evil". What evil? Human right violations? Please, the US has a larger incarcerated population then China, and I don't mean it in a proportional, but in a total sense.

That you're even implying that USA as a society is more evil than China. Seriously, how much do you know about China?

And you accuse me of being out of tune with reality.

I asked for how, not what his policies are in general terms. The devil is in the details. Like the jobs, how is he going to incentivise corporations to keep jobs in the US when most manufacturing jobs are being lost to advances in technology and automation?

@ bolded

Pretty sure no leaders needed Trump to figure that one out, at least in terms of human enemies. 

If you think that my accusations amount to such a thing, then yes, I think you're out of touch.

I'm not saying China is a fine and dandy society, there's a lot wrong in China. My point was not to say China is better than the USA (that's not a comparison I even want to make), but rather to dismiss the notion you can meassure the "evilness" of a society. It can't be done. We can all make moral judgments, sometimes more clearly then others (the nazis are an obvious example), but a nation as a whole can not be evil.

You're twisting words for no good reason. Anyone who read that line understood what I meant.

I used "evil" as a metaphor for negative things, for a dysfunctional society and bad regime.

The stock market was going way up under Obama, it wasn't going to just stop and reverse in a month. 

Besides, why should it? Trump is proposing massive tax breaks for mega-rich millionaires/billionaires and reductions in regulations so corporations will be able to do as they please. 

Why would the stock market go down? Keep hoping that wealth is going to "trickle down" to you though, lol, a rude awakening is probably coming. 

I'm not spinning anything.

1. I'm basing this on what the outcomes will be of the policies he puts forth and proper vetting procedures absolutely should be part of his immigration policies. They actually are/were as the ban was supposed to be temporary whilst his cabinet came up with more extreme vetting, but as I've said there was no evidence current vetting wasn't working. 

@ bolded: Forget the politics of the situation, you always get the name calling and upsetting people on the opposite side (Obama had it in his term, Bush in his etc.). That's part of democracy. The big issue is his competency in formulating his ideas into proper real-world policies. He makes it far too easy for media outlets to pick up on his many blatant mistakes. The blanket immigration ban was illegal yet he put it through anyway (he should have advisors that would have known this was a likely outcome and formulated alternatives). His fabrication of stats that don't exist everytime he speaks to the public; yesterday he made up a terrorist attack in your country. This isn't how to build faith in your competence if a simple google search can tell if you're lying. 

If you're already Left/democrat then it just confirms your beliefs and if you're centrist then you're left wondering if he's really up to the job. 

2. I can't really comment on this unless you give me your examples so I'll leave it. Feel free to add to this when you're more awake!

3. I think you're making a similar mistake to the UK government and seriously overestimating Merkels ability. China are just as likely to strike up trade deals and ally with Germany/EU because of the US' isolationism as anything else. 

I can attest to how bad the school systems are in the US. Just look at the riots in the University system reecently. Its better to riot and cause turmoil, and to shut down free speech, than to have an open debate. Its their way or the highway, and all they want is free, free, free. Everything is a right and neccesity to college students now. But it starts in the lower parts of the schooling system as well. At least in California it is. They teach to the lowest comomn denominator, and they dont push or challenge or reward those who should be advanced. Its better apparently to have all kids come out equally stupid instead of letting those who should excell the opurtunity to do so.

On a side note just because I have always wondered and its hard to find info online about that is accurate, what are the requirements for getting free college education in european countries? I am most interested in Germany and England. Does everyone get in no matter what? Do they have to pass a test? Is it based on how well you do in school?
