Many of the unemployed and poor voted for Donald Trump, believing his stories about bringing back jobs and prosperity for all. Trump's budget aims it's deep cuts at the same people he promised to help. What are these people going to do 18 months from now when the have no food, heat, or become homeless? What will they do when most of these long promised jobs never materialize? Or they find THEY are going to pay for the wall because the rich's tax loopholes allow them to get out of it. What will they do when they find it's just another Conservative financial sleight of hand that allows the rich to enjoy deeper tax cuts, and bigger income, all paid for on the backs of those who can least afford it.
Trump supporters: You would be well advised to do some research this time around, before you start mindlessly crying "fake news" I've seen a lot of budgets in the last 50+ years, and this one is going to hurt!

Let's turn a blind eye to all this though and walk around with a space cadet glow, wearing our little Make America Great Again baseball caps. Children, the poor and elderly don't pull their weight, so don't deserve a handout from REAL Americans like you. This is Trump Country mister. Tell the old folks and kids to get a job or go hungry, there's no free lunch here! ðŸ˜
I see propaganda is something you enjoy. So far the jobs numbers are looking up according to the Trump propaganda.
Cool looking job stats though, I'm sure it was ALL due to The Donald efforts in the last, 6 weeks, and nothing to do with Obama's in the last 8 years. 🙄
Originally posted by mchillWe'll see about this gloom and doom. So far the Donald's Presidency has resulted in no significant changes that I have seen.

Have you personally seen anything different? Do you find it difficult to use the women's restroom now that the Donald is President?

If the ones we see in this forum are anything to go by, they will remain in denial.
The fascination is how the same event, that generates the same basic set of facts, is used by both sides to tell diametrically opposite stories.
Maybe its not that new a phenomenon, but its definitely reaching extreme heights at the moment.

Originally posted by mchillThe reason Trump won in the first place is that he was the only candidate to zero in on jobs leaving the US in droves. No one in either party mentioned it and the press remained silent.
