Trump Accomplishments (unmoderated)

[TwitchySeal]

Kim was threatening to nuke us and Trump punked him right out..
Hear any nuclear threats from nk lately??

According to a report released last month by the Army, after no deal was made in Hanaoi NK returned to producing nuclear weapons and now have 20-60 nuclear bombs with the ability to produce 6 per year, increased their stock pile of chemical weapons to 2,500-5,000 tons and are likely researching biological weapons.  This would be much bigger news if it weren't for everything else going on in the world.

Ultimately the result of the two US/DPRK summits was a temporary pause in NKs production of nuclear weapons, a handful of Chinese prisoners being released and some, but not all, of the remains of US Soldiers that were killed during the Korean War being sent to America.

Trump took pretty good care of isis too didn’t he? Dropped a MOAB on em iirc right?

Tensions with Iran and the Decision to pull out of Syria helped ISIS a lot.  They are not as strong as they were after we took out Baghdadi in October, but they've been becoming more and more of a threat since March.

Like North Korea, this would be getting much more attention if it weren't for the current state things.

He just broke his own personal record for longest marriage.

LOL. Didn't even know this happened. Was there any news about this? I feel like some news companies had to come out and write an article about that. I'd say it's pretty sad if companies did do this, that's a PRETTY BIG LOL.

But to be 100% honest there are some true accomplishments of the Trump admin that people can look at:


1. Shifting the narrative on China so that Americans know that they're a horrible nation that has been taking advantage of the US for such a long time. China has been able to, for decades under both R and D administrations, steal intellectual property from American companies and kill these companies by undercutting them. Trump has single handedly changed the thought of the American voter, and has forced US politicians to change their stance on the matter as well. China will be forever damaged by this and they'll be on the defensive for a large amount of time. Hopefully Trump is able to work out a deal with China to fight this problem back.

2. Pulling out of the IRAN Deal - I'd say this was great. I don't agree with staring a war with Iran, but I do agree with getting out of a stupid deal that would've rewarded Iran for waiting 10 years to start up their nuclear program (pretty sure it was 10 or so years)

3. Shifted the composition of the Federal courts for decades to come to have a conservative shift. As well as his appointments to the SC.

Well, I didn't even know this and this is pretty upsetting. Never saw this on WSJ, NYTIMES, etc. May just be because I was out of the loop in regards to some news for awhile. Makes sense to miss a story like this in our 24/7 breaking news world.

Things are going to continue to get worse with NK because there is an added element of China supporting them during negotiations, tariffs and such. China is a hostile nation to the US, and should be treated as such. We shouldn't just let them do whatever they want b/c they are an integral part of our economy. Imagine thinking that with the Soviet Union?

North Korea needs to keep producing these bombs to ensure that regime change isn't forced upon them. It's a very helpful thing to have when negotiations are starting.....

Free'd up a million N95 masks to send to Israel...by teaching American soldiers how to make masks by folding their tee-shirts in a certain way.

I truly never understood why Dennis Rodman of all people was someone who was leading the charge in changing policy with NK. I understand that Kim Jong Un is a fan of American Basketball, and the Bulls as a team overall -- but he can't be the only person who is able to charm him up.

I think one of the issues with NK (in American foreign policy leaders minds) is that their isn't a 'democracy' leader to take over -- It'll just be another member of the Un family or someone in the military. Same rule, didn't leader.

Mostly it has been scrubbed as is the common case with today's internet when something is derogatory toward Israel and/or Zionism.  There are some remnants kicking around.  e.g.:

You can't be serious -- you're giving me a link to a website called ' The New Arab' here's a quote regarding them:

In January 2015, Fadaat launched Al Araby TV Network as a counterweight to Al Jazeera, which is viewed by some to hold a pro-Muslim Brotherhood bias.[3]

I don't think it really makes a lot of sense in regards to credibility of your source to send a clearly biased source regarding Israel. Don't you think that this would come up from another source, or be brought to light during an oversight committee hearing if this was substantiated?

New Arab doesn't seem that bad: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-new-arab/ 

The name sounds weird because Americans tend to use 'Arab' as derogatory, but it's not much different than something like 'The New Englishman".  But yeah, it doesn't make sense to go to an Arab run media company to figure out what's going on between America and Israel.

It feels like a conundrum trying to figure out what's really going on when it comes to Israel or Muslims in the middle east.  The tensions have been so high for so long it's basically impossible to not come off as having a bias.  Actually now that I think of it, it's like that in America too.  Although I recently got into PBS News hour, it's definitely the least bias Media outlet that I've found.  They manage to make things sound boring which is kind of nice and it's all on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWw1SESkzSk  /ramble

So any source which Zionists cannot clean up is not credible, eh?  I see.

Back when it was more current I read the J-post article, or a screen cap of it.  It's not important enough to me to search a lot more.  This sort of censorship, scrubbing, and re-writing articles is ultra-common now.  I've seen it in real-time on numerous occasions.  And it ALWAYS goes one way; in defense of Zionists and Israel if it involves them at all.

It's to bad for Zionists that Israelis actually are among the most honest and outspoken, and while the media is very well owned/controlled in most of the rest of the world, it is harder to do in Israel interestingly enough.  A fair bit of good information actually can be gleened from reading their press, and one need not read between the lines as much.  You still do need to be Johnny-on-the-spot, though, because there is a fair bit of re-writing and deletion.  Especially when a story gets traction outside of the promised land.

Oh that wasn't me saying that Arab as a term was the reason for it being wrong, nor was I trying to say that this was a derogatory term. Though I think it would be fair to say that the Arab world isn't too fond of Israel (and with that, Israels relationship with the US)

I quoted their potential (alleged) relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood as a problem with using them as a source. It's just like I wouldn't use RT as a source to see how the US and Russia relationship is going.

Makes sense, eh?

It 'feels' pretty straightforward to me:  Zionists are engaged in ethnic cleansing of the 'promised lands' roughly in accordance with the 'Yinon plan'.  Using their various influence in the U.S. they are shaking us down for money and bullet-stoppers in order to do it.

Until your last post I would've thought you'd be more inclined to go with xenophobic anti-muslim rhetoric.

At the end of the day the people in power on both sides are spreading hate and doing really shitty things causing millions of innocent people to suffer.  Israel is the one getting what they want for the moment thanks to Trump,  so I have more empathy for the Palestinians getting treated like a punching bag.

I think it's important for us to all note that Trump isn't doing out of the kindest of his heart about people in Israel, he's doing this because he knows Evangelical voters want Israel to be an empowered nation. This isn't a play for Jewish voters, this is Trump trying to cement the same base group of supporters (Evangelicals) who helped him get into the WH in 2016. Same reason that Pence was picked as the VP.

But ya know, the next President (if it isn't Trump) will do whatever their voters want / whatever will give them the best chance of being reelected and ensuring that their dynasty can have power for as long as possible. In this case I don't mean another Trump becoming president or anything like that, I'm talking about the Trump family still having power in government once they leave their official positions in Washington.

Always some opinion hit piece to counter anything and everything positive Trump.. They employ a lot of people making sure if it..

You could argue the opposite of that as well. If you are to go to Fox, WSJ Opinion, The Blaze, and so on you'd find tons of OP-ED'S saying that every move Trump does is good and every move that the Dems make is bad. sThat's the opinion section for the WSJ, the rest of the site I respect as being fine though.

People in news pander to their audience, on both sides of the aisle.

Is it true that in a couple of days, Trump is going to sign an Anti-Scam Phone call bill?

That's huge. What will all the scammers do? Where will they go? Will they join the ranks of the homeless Americans?
