President Trump is shaping up to be the greatest US president in modern history. Our recovery (economic/defense/infrastructure/foreign affairs...etc) is happening at a pace that few thought possible.
As President Obama asked, "What magic wand do you have?" (To improve the uncertain economy, low GDP, etc.)
I've been really really impressed with him.

The thread was about Trump, so people spoke about Trump. If we want to start a thread about Obama, then we can talk about Obama.
Saying shitty things about Trump doesn't mean people are unable to say shitty things about Obama.
But let's just be clear that there isn't a single thing Obama did that can be equated with destroying the fabric of western democracy. Under Trump, the US has declared trade wars on their closest allies while cozying up to third world dictators (literally on the same day), left the Paris accord, and left the UN human rights council.
But of course it's not really Trump who is to blame. Congress has almost entirely been complicit.
The American empire is falling, and it's not because of Antifa or the mainstream media.

I want to know more about this because it's very rarely borne out in actual statistics. It's very difficult to get a clue these days though when people are fine with literally lying their asses off in every direction.

I'll address pittrek first (I'd use quotes if I saw a "quote" function...how do you quote, man?)
I've gotten this response before, usually when I say "I support the president" I get "You cannot be serious GTFO troll."
I don't believe in trolling. It's a huge waste of time.
This president has an entire arm of propagandist media against him because their girl who favored them lost.
We'll get into examples of this later.

"only time prevents me"
It's nice to have company. I just feel as though some of these statistics and numbers are being thrown around with a bit too much gusto. Slightly unrelated but here in Australia our government loves to trumpet its successes in reducing unemployment - but very cynically and with much slime, they're not specific about the kinds of 'jobs' being created. It's actually a very grim picture.
To try and bring it back to Trump, it's all well and good to make positive claims about his achievements, but it always seems as though there's a "well actually ..." waiting to be penciled in after each one. Statistics and figures shouldn't be as open to interpretation as tea leaves, but unfortunately that seems to be the way it's going. (Which is why we have so many dingbats who can't seem to get their shit straight with climate change).
"I'm sure we'll get into more"
I'm not sure I want to at all haha. Y'all enjoy yourselves though.

DEFENSE
Military leaders came to President Trump and said that they were sorely in need of new military equipment and technology, that in some cases they were still using decades-old equipment.

He recognized that if you don't have a formidable military, you don't have a country, so he signed into law the a 700 billion dollar military spending bill to completely renew and replenish the equipment and technology of the US military as well as give pay raises to the troops.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
In a huge step towards world peace, President Trump held a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, which, in exchange for cutting back on joint US-South Korean military training exercises, President Trump secured the commitment of the North Korean leader to the complete denuclearization of the country, the dismantling of all missile testing facilities, as well as the return of the remains of US soldiers who had fallen in the Korean War.

This is really the tip of the iceberg and only time prevents me from listing many more accomplishments that would be proudly touted by any president. I'm sure we'll get into more as we discuss further.

I'll address pittrek first (I'd use quotes if I saw a "quote" function...how do you quote, man?)
I've gotten this response before, usually when I say "I support the president" I get "You cannot be serious GTFO troll."
I don't believe in trolling. It's a huge waste of time.
This president has an entire arm of propagandist media against him because their girl who favored them lost.
We'll get into examples of this later.

If you spend more than 20 minutes, this is the result.
When that happens, just click the back button the browser to return to the post you wrote. Copy the text, edit your new post, and paste the text in.
It sucks that we need to take care of this workaround, but it is what it is.

Indeed - that was excellent.
Trump spent decades building up a brand, and millions drank the kool aid. He then perfected social media and reached millions more on an emotional level with 140 characters or less. He may be an idiot, but he sure does understand marketing.
He's rich, loud mouthed, and uncompromising - basically the American dream.
