Trump is introducing a different idea of "America First" not "America Is The World Police". That is why many are outraged. He's changing America (for the better good).
Trump recently tweeted about sending troops to Mexico, which would basically be the definition of "America Is The World Police". He has criticized a lot of countries and foreign leaders about stuff that really isn't his business. He seems to think that because he's the president of the United States, he's now King of the World.
 
The silent majority is called the silent majority for a reason. They spoke on election night.

except there wasn't a majority, since he lost the popular vote

he won the election, but you cannot claim a "majority" that literally does not exist

To call the party you identify with to be centered is self-centered.

lmao this assumption

Trump has business experience. He'll do wonders with the economy.

yeah, just like W. Bush did

oh, wait

how many times do people need to tell you that "America First" is white nationalist pro-nazi rhetoric before you get it through your head?

It really bothers me when people don't see that **** for what it is. We've actually got some big problems with right-wing extremism/nazis/terrorists here in Sweden. They've even got their own political party with a 17% support and some real ambitions to take power.
So never take that **** lightly.

-Except Democrats these days are center-left, save for Bernie, Elizabeth Warren, Tulsi Gabbard, and a handful of others. There's now two parties that love war when Democrats used to fight against intervention. There's two parties that love corporations though Democrats just slightly less so. now there's two parties that go against the needs of workers, Democrats used to fight for their needs but since they're sucking Wall Street, Pharmaceutical, and Exxon Mobil dick they aren't anymore. They're a centrist party, sadly.
-Exactly why I hate the corporate controlled modern Democratic establishment since they fight against progressives harder then fight against Republicans.
-Yeah and he'll use his business experience to advance the economy for the upper classes, he's already gotten rid of the Consumer Protection Bureau so now banks can screw over everyday Americans and get even richer. Wonders.
-Yeah America should be first and we should stop interventions, but he's already sent Americans out of their own country and is allowing Native land to be sold and used for drilling. Not to mention he killed 2 American citizens in his first military raid. America first lol ok. Also this rhetoric fuels xenophobia.

What is xenophobia? .-.

That term is overly used.

2 American citizens... source?

Speculation over Trump screwing over regular American citizens. In January more jobs were added than expected. Evidence proves otherwise. Ford announced they're staying as well as other companies. He's saved taxpayers money by just one meeting with the company building a new POTUS vehicle and plane.

Trump is intelligent.

1. Look it up. Relevant not overused.
2. Pg. 25 of this thread. Great to see you're resorting to the whole "SOURCE???!" thing again to defend your pathetic arguments.
3. He has screwed over American citizens by getting rid of the Consumer Protection Bureau (Dodd Frank Act), it's not even speculation. Don't dance around facts.
4. He's not.

A federal judge has halted Trump's immigration ban. Although Trump did this for security reasons, I agree that his immigration ban is too extreme.

Also, what does the "bad apple trump" tag mean?
 
um. America First isn't white nationalist pro-Nazi rhetoric. That comment is outrageous and despicable.

What are we supposed to do? Kiss everyone's feet? No.

It mean's "bad apple trump".

The immigration ban is not too extreme. It's logical. Blocking for a time period from seven countries where terrorism is high and supported there. Obama's chief-executive officer had similar ideas as Trump.

But y'know it's only extreme because a white man is doing it...
 
please actually do historical research for once in your life

I could say the same for you.

What's wrong with putting the country you're in first? lol...

Our trade deals are garbage, our trade deficit is high, everyone expects our help... America First!

But y'know apparently I'm endorsing white nationalism and being pro-Nazi by saying that according to Lambda Delta.
 
I hope you don't think people who say "America first" are pro Nazi. Wouldn't it make more sense that people who use that term are using it at face-value. As in we should focus on improving our country in all aspects, rather than spend time, energy, and resources elsewhere?

It's discriminating against Muslims since the ban doesn't include Christians. Now ISIS is using this to say the west is officially at war with Islam as part of their campaign to expand their extremist agenda and call it the "blessed ban". Middle Eastern US allies are critical of the ban, hurting US military alliances.

The people who suffer most from the ban are the civilians and those in the Middle East who are the victims of these terror groups and have their lives destroyed by them. It's not hurting terrorists, it's hurting the victims.

Who said the ban doesn't include "Christians"?

Then why do 13% "refugees" say they support ISIS?

The countries in the Middle East are doing jack crap. Who cares if they don't like us? If it really is a problem for them... why does Kuwait have billions sitting in their government? Why don't countries in the Middle East start collaborating together to defeat ISIS?

And no... we're not at war with Islam. We're at war with Islamic Extremists. Like it or not, bud.

Keep in mind that if he does win the next election, it wouldn't be possible for the Republicans to win the 2024 election. The thing here is that if one party in power stays for eight years, people would be voting for the other party to take over the house, senate, and presidency. For the Democrats, it's an easy win. But for the Republicans, they could barely win depending on the issues and who's running. For the past two times, when a Republican president replaced a Democratic president, they lost the popular vote on the first election. Problem is, older generations are aging or dying off, newer generations are becoming more emotionally fragile and immature, Republicans are supporting some set-in-stone concepts we had for a while (like 20 to 240 years) that are now hated by many people, Democrats are supporting a larger and more powerful federal government (as well as more socialist), and there are many demographic changes (like whites becoming a minority and religion fading away from society). With all these things coming to effect, Republicans will have an even harder time winning. Sure they can start agreeing to legalizing same-sex marriage and allowing more immigrants, but there's a lot of other issues they are still against that will prevent them from winning (which may implode in the future, which will probably give them another chance to win).

I think it's a little too early to make that call. I agree it's more likely that the Republican's won't win a third term, but there is a lot of craziness out there right now, and to a former Democrat like myself, the DNC will need to learn from their mistakes this election and make a lot of changes to earn my trust back.
 
Trump is keeping his campaign promises.

What he's doing isn't hurting him with the people that voted for him it is how he is handling some things he does.

Some of the things he has done or said could have better been not done or unsaid. (Twitter) (Too Aggressive On Foreign Calls <- aggression is needed but I feel like he's too aggressive)

Donald Trump.

Then why do 13% "refugees" say they support ISIS?
probably because of the Assad hatred fanaticism, and the fact that ISIS is battling Assad. They obviously aren't terrorists if they aren't terrorizing anyone. If we can allow Neo-Nazis and the KKK in our country we can allow in the tiny margin of civilians who support ISIS.

It's not a ban, it's a delay. Muslim's can still come to this country, they just have to go through a more rigorous screening process. If it was a Muslim ban don't you think the country with the highest Muslim population, Indonesia, be first on that list?
What would be a more efficient way to prevent refugees with extremist views from entering the country?
I suggest you don't seek advice from countries that have been going through a "migrant crisis".

The thing is "neo-nazis" doesn't exist. The thing is the "KKK" is not active. You mention the KKK but why not BLM? They're almost just as bad... terrorizing police officers, breaking cars, beating up innocent civilians.

The thing is... ISIS is active.

Why not prevent what we can?

I'm sure you're misinform and misinterpreted what President Trump had said. Or you're being simple-minded. That's how it is a lot of the time.

Except is a ban, and yes it is temporary. It is a essentially is a muslim ban, considering it bans refugees from 7 muslim majority countries. And you're trying to act like it isn't targeting Muslims when it obviously is.
