Why not Trump

Why not Trump


     The fact that Russian fascists want to see Trump in the White House, and not Kamala Harris, is enough to not vote for Trump. I don't understand Americans, well, Trump was president, and what did he do for America to vote for him again?

It is not only the fact the Kremlin wants to see Trump in the white house, it is also de fact the presidency of the United States is supposed to be reserved for people of good conduct and with a spotless personal and legal record, not the case of Trump.
If a convected felon, civily guilty of rape and thief of secret documents of the states manages to be the presidency of a country like the USA, then that would definitely drag the bar down for the moral requirements of future presidents, as simple as that.
If Trump wins, any politician who also happened to be a convicted felon will get more doors opened to them in their political career, which is supposed to be over as soon as they are found guilty of a felony.

It is not entirely about Trump, honestly, it is more about the damage he is going to inflict on the country and the precedents he is setting on place for the future.

I watched a video of Trump claiming K should not be allowed to run for president because she is doing shady, crooked things.   From what I've seen on TV and here in the forum, I wonder if all republicans are so clueless about how they are perceived.

Supporting are candidate is a matter of choice or interest. Some Americans want Trump because he has promised to clamp down on immigration and also ensure that undocumented immigrants are sent back to their country. The fact that he has promised to carry out one of the biggest deportations in the history of the US has made him become the preferred candidate for anti-immigrants. The evangelicals love him because of his stance against abortion and the LBGT community. He has been against police reforms which has made him a darling to white supremacists. Gun manufacturers and their supporters will vote for him because he is against gun control. Voting for a candidate can be a result of many issues. Most voters don't know much about foreign policies, all they are concerned about is the internal affairs.

In general, Republican politicians are not aware of how they are perceived and do not seem to be self-aware enough to realize if the same moral compass they apply is applied on themselves, they would not pass the test. It reminds me the case of Lauren B, the congresswoman for the Republican party who is completely pro-maga, she claims family values are one of the most important things to hold, while at the same time she does not seem to have a problem getting groped and grope his partner in public and also having a child which is almost a teen, and yet he has already impregnated his girlfriend. Anyone who consider themselves to be a conservative would denounce Lauren B and call out her hipocrisy on applying  standards on others which she does not even follow herself and her family.

I mean Americans are notorious for being self-centered and thinking that they are the superior country in all the world. So it doesn’t surprise me that they have no consideration of how these candidates will handle international affairs. USA is involved in many political and territorial issues, sometimes even if they are not the ones directly involved, somehow they are still involved.

I don’t think Trump is the best option but to be fair neither is Harris but American citizens need to vote for the lesser evil whoever may that be in their opinion.

[Negativenative]

Republican, this is good for the United States as far as I know. I talk to several people from the United States, they all want to see Trump as president. Democrats and other leftists are only corrupting America.

Putin's phrase that Biden is preferable for Russia seemed to me more strange. Why?

Thanks to Biden now Russia owns half of Ukraine. Biden and Putin are best buddies.

Kamala is rising in the polls... if they are telling the truth.

Personally, I don't understand it. With Trump promising to get rid of the Federal income tax, I would think that everybody would vote for Trump, love him or hate him. Do people really love taxation that much? Or haven't they heard this Trump promise?

[Oshio-man]

If you look at Donald trump performance in his administration and Joe Biden performance in his administration, you will prefer Donald trump party than Joe Biden party.

Not everyone shares your gullibility, BD.  Trump will replace those taxes with tariffs, which is a basic flat tax no matter your income.

Tariffs only hurt if you are buying foreign made goods.  It'll hurt temporarily because most of our non-food items are made over seas, but it incentivizes domestic production.  That's only reasonable.  Any rational person would want as many items produced in his own country as possible.  It helps their own society, keeps their countrymen employed, and reduces dependency on foreign made essentials.  The Covid pandemic taught us about those risks.

I'm voting for Trump because he is the only one who seems to care about the interests of the American people.  He was the first president in decades to not start a new war, or encourage our involvement in other people's wars.  And I hope he stops all foreign aid, including Ukraine and Israel.  Our national debt is out of control and we can't afford any more.  We need that money here to fix so many of our own problems.

U.S. imports for 2022 was $3,966.17B, a 16.37% increase from 2021. U.S. imports for 2021 was $3,408.28B, a 22.75% increase from 2020.

  Most of everything you purchase is foreign made, and your worker base is becoming lazier and more demanding.   

Do you also believe the carbon tax incentives carbon neutral energy discovery?   It doesn't because you are targeting the wrong people, just like here.

2021 was Biden's first year in office, and the first thing he did was reverse the tariffs on Chinese goods.  Thank you for illustrating my point.

I don't understand where you're going with this.  Does paying more taxes give politicians the ability to change the weather?

What point did I illustrate?  Biden wants the rich to pay their share of taxes?  That was my point, but I understand your need to take it. 

I don't understand where you're going with this.  Does paying more taxes give politicians the ability to change the weather?

I'll try another way:  Forcing a consumer to pay a carbon tax does not inspire the producers to develop clean energy.  You have to hurt the producers.   Taxing the poor will not inspire them to increase domestic production.  You need to tax the producers.

He kept inflation low, investments performed well, interest rates were low, there was world peace, he knew the difference between a man and a woman, he protected the border, he was against the disfigurement of children to appease the mental illness of their parents… My question is, what did Biden do that wasn’t a complete disaster?

Answer:  Biden respected the difference between a man and a woman.

Regarding the economical status of the United States, I don't understand quite yet why some people point out the bad state of investments of the economy. Because it would seem to me the stock market is outperforming in this period of President Biden. Though, it is true one cannot leave aside the fact inflation still is a problem for a non-neglectable percentage of the population of the country.
This incoming election to me it does not seem to be as much a referendum on the economical status of the country, but rather about the so-called culture war going on there, that was the platform many politicians are going for within the Republican party, they have learnt it is a hot topic which keeps the public engaged.
