Trump sucks. I agree with a lot of his policies, but he sucks as a human being.
He's arrogant, selfish, egotistical, and childish. His ego is incredibly easily bruised, and when it is he inevitably attacks the person who hurt his ego no matter who it is or what they said (which is insanely childish and immature). He makes official policies based on who offends him rather than on anything intellectual or strategic. He never admits when he's blatantly wrong which is a classic sign of arrogance and stupidity. He viciously attacks good people from his own party just because they might have once disagreed with him. None of that shows real strength or power, it shows fear, a lack of power, and insecurity. His own cabinet is perpetually dysfunctional just because he can't get his shit together. He's probably one of the least mature people in politics today.
Having said that, I have no doubt he'll crush whoever he comes up against in the next election. He's wildly popular and as I mentioned even I support many of his actual policies. I just don't support him as a person. He's a shit human being, and I can't wait until he's out of office for good.
I wouldn't vote for him if he was the last man on earth.

Freedom doesn't always guarantee the best numbers.
That is the "price" we pay.
We are the most free.
If our country doesn't manufacture, it's because we voted to raise regulations, labor rules, and taxes so that factories can operate easier in China than America.
China beats us in manufacturing, but we made it that way because of environmentalists, lobbying, and votes.

Would you fucking stop with the right wing talking points like youre some kind of robot. What is freedom if the middle class can barely accumulate wealth.
Look at our median wealth compared to our average wealth. That is so fucking skewed from a normal distribution. It’s broken. We’re not even the richest country per person. How is it that Australian have almost the same wealth person, while their median wealth is over tree times our wealth. They arent surrendering economic success to make their society more equitable. They’re richer as a county, but the people share more in that success. It’s not about freedom. It’s about a level of fairness where the rich don’t take advantage of the average person.

America is not the most free. We have the worlds largest prison population. Exactly what freedom is not.

1 You pay over 50% of the federal budget to the military industrial complex.
2 When is the last time the CONUS were physically invaded?
You can have all the freedom you like without Canada or Mexico taking over your country.
Like a Japanese general concluded in WW II: American citizens are so well armed that even without an army, the country is un-invadable.

Freedom is not the most important concept man. China is sucking you guys dry, a civil war is looming on the horizon, the working class is getting dicked over and the NSA watches your every move. but as long as you got muh guns right? Conservatives need to start getting their head out of their ass and start looking at the actual issues, the alternative is the republican party losing it's powerbase in 10 years and being relegated to regional status.

Republicans have always know that China is the greatest threat.
Then you have your Russian conspiracy theorist who wasted the taxpayer dollars to investigate nothing.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Russia?
