    If Mueller had remained quiet for the past 2 years & just now reported that there were 37 indictments including Trump's personal lawyer, national security adviser & campaign manager, the country would be shocked.

    The WH & Congress would be in crisis mode. Releasing information/indictments as he did, Mueller did what was best for the country IMO.

He sold half of the country on this idea that he's this blue collar everyman that cares about the American middle-class when clearly he's a silver spoon rich kid who only cares about serving the super rich.


    Economy, economy, economy for starters. Secondly, he wants to keep millions more of illegals out of the country. They drain the country's resources, education, healthcare, law enforcement & prison system... We can't afford the people we have that can't support themselves are disabled or troublemakers, we don't need to import more. The country has border laws, I'd like them enforced, and I want a wall. 

    How's ISIS doing with that caliphate? Gone. I don't know what you watching Stump but unemployment across the board is at historic lows, millions of jobs have returned, manufacturing especially. If Obama got half the results Trump had I would've supported him. I don't know what the haters are watching, you were fed bs for 2 years. After beating 16 candidates, at least a few of them had family history and establishment support that had the qualifications & name recognition to be POTUS, he needed Russia to beat that corrupt pantsuit of a candidate after she fixed her own nomination and bought a FISA warrant via that bs dossier that started all of this. When did he ever seen the country he's a blue collar man? He's a billionaire that knows business and knew what chains to cut to get things rolling again. It's rolling again. 

    Believe me I wish Trump would STFU on many topics but the results the man has achieved can't be denied, unless your .... you can fill that in. Ask the people that have new manufacturing jobs if Trump is only serving the super rich. That's such a bs line anyway, just like the Russians are coming. If unemployment is at record lows for Hispanics, blacks and women, how is that only benefiting the super rich. 

    Trump should get to file defamation suits against scores of media and democratic politicians for outright slander. Beto today said he colluded with the Russians beyond a shadow of a doubt. Really? Still? After a completely one-sided investigation that ran it's course and if it was there, certainly evidence of it would've been uncovered but still they say it. It's disgraceful and if my party was doing it, I would't support it. Obama won the election, I didn't like him because the only people that gained in his 8 years were the Iranians and the Taliban got 5 generals back for our traitor Bergdahl. Please tell me who else benefited from his presidency? Other than Hillary Clinton, I forgot about her.

    Now I ask you, what does the Democratic Party or any nominee say that keeps your support? Trump is doing what the country needs, the dems take the opposite of every argument. He's for tax cuts, they aren't. He's pro-life, they want to protect infanticide. He wants the country to have a border, they don't. WTF?

    Seriously? None of them were even charged with what the entire witch hunt was charged with investigating. I take the opposite approach, if Mueller kept the focus on Russian collusion, no one would've been charged and Mueller found process crimes to cover for the morons that have been screaming collusion for 2 years... Mr. Mueller did you find any evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign and the Russians? NO but we would've embarrassed the Democratic Party (which already is) for saying they were sure there was collusion, some of them even claimed to see evidence of it. His campaign manager... charged with things years ago that had nothing to do with Trump's campaign. I can tell your a Democrat. The 2016 election was on the level and the Democrats after letting Clinton fix the nomination lost. Good luck in 2020 with the insanity the country has witnessed ever since. Go ahead vote for the people that wish to wreck the fossil fuel industry and have us on high speed trains that don't exist.

    Trump, although a blowhard and I wish he'd stop playing along with fools that bait him, is extremely smart and cunning. He takes the popular position on every argument (as if this is a brilliant position?). Do you want to pay more taxes? NO, the dems say how dare you let working people keep more of their hard earned money. It's ridiculous. The party is in shambles, they're all over the place. The younger candidates want to outright destroy the country and tell you this is the way we should go and the older wing isn't going along with that because they know it's a loser. Trump is a stone cold lock in 2020 after enduring this slander for 2+ years. 71% of the country is happy with the economy. I remember a guy that coined the phrase "it's the economy stupid"... where's the goof from California - Impeach, impeach, impeach? It's embarassing to watch. I would like to strong parties that would move the country forward, as far as I'm concerned the leading candidates support wrecking the fossil fuel industry, have you ever heard of anything so insane? Every tree in the country would be burned to keep people warm. The majority of the people believe the climate will change hot or cold as it always has for billions of years. It's the most ridiculous scam ever. I'm for not polluting the air or the water. Automobiles burn unleaded gas, I bet we lose 5-8 mpg due to the emission controls that didn't exist 40 years ago. I added solar to my house and glad I did. Sorry, I'm not supporting the demolition of the airline or fossil fuel industry.

Trump is doing what the country needs, the dems take the opposite of every argument. He's for tax cuts, they aren't. He's pro-life, they want to protect infanticide. He wants the country to have a border, they don't. WTF?

    Where have I ever said the democratic party has my support? I just asked the question. I think it's funny how many people love Trump and hate Obama and when you ask why, the first thing the say is "Economy". Did you see where the economy was before Obama took over and where it was after. I not a huge Obama guy either so I don't wanna seem like this post is to defend him.

    Border security? Wall? I'm on record too many times on this site lockstep with Trump on this and I haven't changed my tune.

    Manufacturing? Look it up. He hasn't really grown this sector. Jobs are leaving just like they were under Obama. And if Trump gets a second term, he won't benefit from the growth in the tech sector that Obama had. No faulr of his. And in the short term, the tariffs, which I love, are hurting manufacturing growth.

    So yeah, i'll ask the Americans with new manufacturing jobs when there are some to ask. Manufacturing is stagnant. Unemployment was already dropping. It just continued to drop. As far as the tax cuts he is for, they are for the rich. Not the poor and not the middle-class, which is in itself a misnomer. I make six figures and I don't even consider myself "middle-class". I'm working class. Just another working stiff. Pro life? He says he is. He acts religious. He's no more religious than Charles Manson. He says what the old people in his party want to here. He's on wife three and is a serial cheater. I guarantee he's paid for an abortion in his day. H3ll, he even lies about being a billionaire. Bet he's a Billionaire now since becoming Pres.

    Look, i'm not a Trump hater. I'm just not here to suck him off either. Most of these politicians suck, royally? Trump no more than any others but no less either. With that said, he's got atleast two years left. Probably six. So we'll see.

Newbies like AOC say a lot of far-fetched stuff but atleast they are saying something. This will be the second Presidential election in a row where their game plan is to try to make Trump look like a bad person and it will fail again.

    Today would be a better day to find out exactly what evidence James Comey and his FBI had to open the original probe of Donald Trump and his campaign,, in the summer of 2016..........Now, since the Mueller report is concluded we need a criminal investigation into the heads of the FBI, at that time and what role the Obama administration and his Lynch led DOJ played into that probe..

    It’s interesting to think back a single year and to remember the collective gloom that covered the economy and remember that while on the campaign trail Trump was almost universally mocked for promising to “Bring back manufacturing jobs to the U.S.” I must admit that even I was skeptical. After all, manufacturing jobs were done and gone, what chance is there of bringing them back? So it is interesting to note that although they didn’t mention Trump specifically, this month’s BLS Commissioner’s report used these exact words, “Since a recent low in November 2016, manufacturing employment has increased by 189,000.” So, precisely since Trump’s election the U.S. has gained 189,000 manufacturing jobs. And 31,000 of them were added in November alone. And November 2016 was actually a “recent low“. From November 2015 to November 2016 the U.S. had actually lost -50,000 manufacturing jobs and at the time it seemed that losing manufacturing jobs was going to be the new reality.

    312,000 Jobs Added In December, Manufacturing Growing 714% Faster Under Trump Than Obama


    With the December jobs number, President Trump now has two full years of economic performance to compare with his predecessor, President Obama. The two biggest statistical standouts are:

    • Manufacturing jobs are growing at a 714% faster clip under Trump than over a similar time under Obama , and;
    • Under Obama, federal state and local government employment grew 6 times faster than did manufacturing jobs, while under Trump, that ratio has been reversed, with manufacturing jobs growing 5 times faster than government jobs.

    Completely incorrect about the tax cuts not helping the middle class.  By now most people have done their returns.  Middle class fared much better than the previous year.  Cannot dispute the hard numbers.  No matter what you call yourself — if your income is classified as middle-class, then you are middle-class.  Other factors, like region, will slide it somewhat.  But again — it is what it is. 

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tax-cuts-middle-class-150107683.html

    Now that they have taken back Congress, Democrats on Capitol Hill are holding a hearing on Wednesday to “examine how the middle class is faring.” While they will undoubtedly use this hearing to score political points, the fact is the tax cuts have created unprecedented prosperity for the middle class in the form of higher wages, more take-home pay, more jobs and new employee benefits.

    A family of four with annual income of $73,000 is seeing a 60 percent reduction in federal taxes -- totaling to more than $2,058. According to the Heritage Foundation, the typical American family will be almost $45,000 better off over the next decade because of higher take-home pay and a stronger economy.

    Tax reform doubled the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000, giving over 22 million American families important tax relief. The standard deduction was doubled from $6,000 to $12,000 ($12,000 to $24,000 for a family) giving tax relief for over 105 million taxpayers that took the deduction prior to tax reform and simplifying the code for tens of millions Americans that will not take the standard deduction instead of itemizing.

    While the rhetoric of the left has sought to portray the Republican tax cuts as a negative for the middle class, nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is, the middle class has seen strong tax reduction, higher take home pay, more jobs and more economic opportunity.

    Completely incorrect about the tax cuts not helping the middle class.  By now most people have done their returns.  Middle class fared much better than the previous year.  Cannot dispute the hard numbers.  No matter what you call yourself — if your income is classified as middle-class, then you are middle-class.  Other factors, like region, will slide it somewhat.  But again — it is what it is. 

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tax-cuts-middle-class-150107683.html

    Now that they have taken back Congress, Democrats on Capitol Hill are holding a hearing on Wednesday to “examine how the middle class is faring.” While they will undoubtedly use this hearing to score political points, the fact is the tax cuts have created unprecedented prosperity for the middle class in the form of higher wages, more take-home pay, more jobs and new employee benefits.

    A family of four with annual income of $73,000 is seeing a 60 percent reduction in federal taxes -- totaling to more than $2,058. According to the Heritage Foundation, the typical American family will be almost $45,000 better off over the next decade because of higher take-home pay and a stronger economy.

    Sure, Trump says he is pro-life. To ‘guarantee’ he has paid for an abortion without evidence or even a slight amount of credence — that doesn’t make for a good rebuttal.  You could say that about anyone, at all, that is pro-life — just to dismiss their standpoint.  That makes the argument weaker.  Just leave it at Trump says what he thinks his base wants to hear — or something like you said.  The pro-life stance doesn’t even have to come from a religious viewpoint.  Even secular folks can see it as a violation against a life.  A lot of non-religious folks are pro-life, pro-animals, anti-death penalty, etc. etc.

    I do not think a wall is a complete necessity yet.  I say completely enforce the laws.  Make sanctuary cities illegal.  Make it a huge fine to hire illegals. Second time make it serious prison time.  If nobody is hiring illegals they will go home.  We have seen that before with the anticipation of this being enforced.  Do away with anchor babies. This was obviously not the intent.  And follow Ike’s formula if necessary.  If absolutely needed — sure let Mexico indirectly pay for it if needed. Through border adjustment or having a fee added on for money being sent from here to there. Etc. Etc.

    People that are belly-aching about Trump’s taxes amuse me. I would imagine he has many accountants doing his taxes.  I would imagine he had been audited many times.  If there had been anything amiss, I am sure he would have had issues with the IRS by now.  
    I have never understood why we think it is necessary to show taxes.  Just because past guys started doing it does not make it a requirement.  
    What would actually show on his taxes that would sway someone that the IRS has not caught by now?  It certainly would not sway a Democrat to vote for him instead of against him — if he had no tax issues.  Besides, look at all of the Democrats that do have legitimate tax problems —- Democrats keep electing them.  So there is no point in this.  Just all sorts of whining by Democrats make them look bad.  Make sensible arguments.

    Trump may be a blowhard. Nice to wish he would quit being baited. But that is not who he is; not who he ever was.  People knew that when they elected him. They knew he would fight back.  Democrats are not used to someone fighting back and taking them to task. They are used to nice, kind political-type guys.  Trump is not that at all. That’s why folks are so upset/confused when he fires back even harder than he was fired upon.  Even with the McCain issue — everyone knows McCain campaingned to do away with Obamacare.  Then when he had a chance to do it — he chose not to just to get a jab in at Trump. Very petty. But Trump can come right back at him and now folks act like they didn’t expect this.  Then McCain had been letting his being a POW be exploited for years and they tried to bring up Trump not serving.  So Trump fires back hard.  Then what McCain did will outlive him; yet they get upset and say Trump shouldn’t talk bad about a dead guy. Why not?  The guy’s act(s) live on. They simply cannot take this. Same thing with all of the candidates in the primary.  They all want to be so sneaky political with each other.  Then they are surprised when Trump goes after each of them.  
    Folks felt it refreshing to have a republican that would fight back.  Trump was that guy.  He has been in a cutthroat business his whole life and been very successful — so he is used to those tactics.  In business they are more cutthroat than in politics.

    Even though I am for a wall, I think these are great ideas. And don't even get me started on sanctuary cities. Makes me sick even typing the words. I'm hand in hand with Trump on this issue. I like his approach to foreign policy as well. I like that he gets along with Putin. I like that he gets along with Kim. Makes me feel safer.

    For sure he does seem to have accomplished a lot more in a shorter time on the world stage than Obama.   
    I get what you are saying about feeling safe.  I cannot disagree that a wall would help do that. I just wish it would not come to that.  It should be a last resort.  50 years from now — what if Mexico has a booming economy and less crime and the drug issue has changed somewhat.  Do you then take the wall down or leave it?

    Raiders22,no need to wait till the Mexican has a booming economy to take the barriers down..Mexicans are stealing the razor wire, that was installed on the top of fencing at the border by US troops,,in the fall along the border wall between Tijuana and San Diego..

    Mexican police have arrested 15 to 20 people in the past week in relation to the theft, those apprehended were mostly Mexican citizens or people who have been deported from the US...

    The razor wire that has gone missing.. has reappeared on homes in Tijuana....

    You do know that there's a government service called the IRS, they are in charge of making sure the tax laws are being met and they get their fair share. That said, do you think they'll scrutinize you and me more than they would billionaire Donald Trump? Hmmm, it's a tough one, but I believe they'd look at Trump much closer.

    Also, he's quite high profile now, if there was any there, there, I'm sure the previous administration with their girlfriend on deck to be next POTUS gave Trumps taxes a good once over, you think?

    I smell desperation, it wreaks...

Everyone knows the many questionable things that occurred in his life, leave him be Trump doesn't need to say anything about it or him. Let the music do the talking, and it's loud and clear that we're in the best position we've been in the entire century.
