    The illegal immigration problem is worse under Trump than it was under Obama.

    When Trump came into office Iran was not making nukes,The Trump administration and UN verified that.Now they are making nukes.They have also shot down US aircraft.

    NK has massively improved their nukes and missiles under Trump.They are in the final stages of having a submarine capable of launching nukes.This happened under Trumps watch.Kim Jong played him like a damn fool.

    And China is kicking his ass and playing him like a fool every step of the way.China hasn't given up anything to him.They make the fool think he is going to make a deal while they are just waiting him out until Jan 2021 while US trade deficits are higher,US consumers are paying his tariffs and he keeps having to give billions of tax payer dollars to farmers.

    Republicans = Strong Democrats = Weak

    No one advocating for a weaker America with no borders or goals or plans or sense of tradition has been able to state who they are voting for and why.

    It is very simple. If you want a weaker America which Democratic candidate are you voting for and why?

    Record U.S. trade deficit in 2018 reflects failure of Trump’s trade policies

    The U.S. Census Bureau reported that the U.S. goods trade deficit reached a record of $891.3 billion in 2018, an increase of $83.8 billion (10.4 percent). The broader goods and services deficit reached $621.0 billion in 2018, an increase of $68.8 billion (12.5 percent). The rapid growth of U.S. trade deficits reflect the failure of Trump administration trade policies, as well as the negative impacts of tax cuts and spending increases, which have sharply increased the federal budget deficit, and tightening of U.S. monetary policy, resulting in upward pressure on interest rates and the real value of the dollar.

    The IMF predicts that the U.S. current account deficit—the broadest measure of U.S. trade in goods, services, and income—will nearly double between 2016 and 2022. Unless these trends are offset by a rapid decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, rapidly rising trade deficits could be devastating for U.S. manufacturing, likely giving rise to massive job loss on the scale experienced in the 2000–2007 period, when 3.5 million U.S. manufacturing jobs were lost.

    The U.S. goods trade deficit with China reached a new record of $419.2 billion in 2018, up from $375.6 billion in 2017, an increase of $43.6 billion (11.6 percent). United States trade with China is dominated by the deficit in manufactured products. Although the United States has imposed tariffs of 10 to 25 percent on $250 billion in imports from China (about half of total U.S. imports from that country), China has played its ‘ace-in-the-hole’ by allowing it’s currency to fall by roughly 10 percent against the dollar. As a result, the U.S. trade deficit with China increased faster (11.6 percent) than the U.S. deficit with the world as a whole (10.4 percent). While the United States and China are poised to negotiate a deal to end their trade dispute, the proposed deal amounts “much ado about nothing much,” as Paul Krugman puts it. It will do little to reduce the massive imbalance in U.S.–China trade flows.

    Yep. Why didn't they fix healthcare? Why didn't they accomplish anything when they had a super-majority?

    I support Trump but I really loathe Congress, both parties. Maybe they were too busy enriching themselves.

    Its to bad Trump can't con foreign leaders like he cons his supporters.If he could Iran might not be building nukes and shooting down US drones and NK might not be improving their nukes,building intercontinental missiles and nuclear attack submarines.

    Not only cant Trump con foreign leaders,they are conning him.Trump actually thought Kim was his friend while the 2nd the biggest weapons advancement in the country's history is underway.In prison force isn't always needed to take a guys ass,many can be talked out of it.Kim Jong fucked Trump using a smile.

    Wonderfully. It’s approaching the 2020 election and it’s a hot button issue that will drive lots of votes towards them.
