Donald Trumps Approval Ratings Soar

[JohnLarue]

This is what Canadians do not understand about America.

Illegal immigrants are part of the economy, the farms are counting their salaries as expenses.
This, of course would not be possible in Canada or other countries. But in USA it is part of the system. The raw capitalism requires a proletariat, who is willing to work for peanuts under terrible conditions.

It is all by design.

this what the left does not understand about America, capitalism in general
the economy is not 'designed' i.e. centrally planned
the economy is driven by the summation of risk / reward evaluations of opportunities
The greater the central planning/ attempts to design , the fewer opportunities to evaluate

And it's time to revise the American model because you are sinking.

Capitalism has an end. When too few possess everything the majority is struggling. Which is not good as it leads to poverty and violence at all levels. Even the rich because they need to barricade themselves in gated areas...

It's certainly not with a bunch of greedy billionaires in the lead that America will be better.

Marx explained it all 180 years ago. Most of the world has learned from his writings.

Marx would be the first one to understand that things are changing...

If you think socialized healthcare makes a society socialist then only the US, in the whole world, is truly capitalist.

I was referring to the need for a "raw" capitalistic system to have a proletariat.

yeah most of the world has learned alright
Nice ideal Karl, however not at all practical and results in shared misery for all when implemented

So you want to misrepresent me.

I did not say he is a pathological liar.
I believe him to be narcissist. He can be mean spirited, nasty and vindictive
He loves to use leverage and has been successful doing so
His ego requires he be able to claim a win
He is riding high right now as his approval ratings are positive
He may not fair so well when adversity come his way
He is right about boarder security and NATO spending
The step to the left by the democrats / Canadian Liberals was a disaster. That should be self evident

You did not say that. Many people, including myself, would say that he is.

But in your list of negatives, you did not mention any kind of lying at all, even though in your previous post you said something to the effect of "you can't always take him at his word" or "do you believe everything he says" which, in my mind, means at least some lying.

Does that mean that you believe he never lies? I'm asking. I'm not representing.

Ahhh, so that's why you a soft spot for authoritarian regimes around the globe?

 

[Valcazar]

Just curious and a tad off topic so my apologies but what will you say if Trump wants to run for another term? Y

Presumably he will say what he said in that other post.

"Similar to a few here, you have never been much for Democratic institutions and process. Voters aren't worth much unless they affirm your views of the world. You like to cling to legalistic treaties and process."

If the voters want Trump, the Constitution should be changed.

 

[shack]

Yes, those astute and pragmatic people will soon have a new face on Mt Rushmore

That will never happen.

trump doesn't share the spotlight with anybody.

 

[shack]

Why isn't trump's head double the size of everyone else's?

 

[dirtydaveiii]

Trump is a showman, he only cares about the show, and to a large extent it works. His constituency think he is winning.

They are so fucjed up they really believe he won in 2020.

They were not blown out of proportion...the blue cities you went to swept everything under the rug...the battleground states disagreed with you. unanimously.

The battleground states do not have migrants to the extent the blue cities do.
So that proves you wrong.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Americans are very astute and in aggregate pragmatic. If you understand history, you know that in 1910, the U.S. (and Canada) needed low-skilled immigrants to fill up new factories during massive industrialization.
The U.S. percentage of foreign born is in-line with the U.K. and France. Canada as would be expected is about 20%. It's no coincidence at these levels all these countries are experiencing push back from the electorate.

When the economy is tough, immigrants get blamed.
The way it has been since forever.
So no surprises there.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

The common man can see the labor pool increase and wages suppressed. His neighborhood or the neighborhood next to him likely has more social problems. Their children's schools are trying to cope with an increase in students who don't speak English. City services are stretched.

Yet the common man in cities where these migrants have moved in, in huge numbers voted blue.
Someone posted a video of NYC whose hospitals were overwhelmed.
Yet they voted Dem.
And the labour pool increase bothers the common man?
You mean the below minimum wage labour pool or hard farm work labour pool that the average American won't even touch or think of participating in?

no it doesn't...the blue cities swept it under the rug...look at NY and Cali...LOL...Kamala is poised to bring in more illegals... the battleground states want none of it....
does this look legal to you?

Majoritarianism is not good democracy.
Consensus democracy is.

that's your choice

But in your list of negatives, you did not mention any kind of lying at all, even though in your previous post you said something to the effect of "you can't always take him at his word" or "do you believe everything he says" which, in my mind, means at least some lying.

no doubt he has lied
i have yet to meet anyone who has not lied at some point
Please let me know when you find a politician who has not lied.
That will be a unicorn to observe

Does that mean that you believe he never lies? I'm asking. I'm not representing.

please see above

Does Donald Trump make outlandish statements / claims, many of which are inaccurate/ down right false ?
Of course he does
That has been common knowledge for years.

Do I expect him to continue making outlandish statements / claims, many of which are inaccurate/ down right false ?
yes

Does he have an abrasive personality ?
Absolutely
That is part of the package with an overblown ego.

I find it strange you were advised about the risks to Canada and yet you are focused on Trumps common knowledge personality traits and ensuring that you can label him.

label away. It does not bother him in the least
he is not going away for at least 4 years

No not really. There is simply not enough demand for low-skilled workers like the early-1900s.
