Think about that abit. We all need to look further back. Johnson started the stupid wasteful Dept of HUD, and he increased spending and lives lost in the stupid Vietnam war. Then Nixon ended the war, but started the stupid EPA. And all it has done is grown like cancer over the year like all Govt programs.
During Carter, interest rates were ridiculous and he gave away the Panama canal, which now the Chinese control- thanks to the Clintons help. He formed the wasteful Dept of Education, and Dept of Energy both not needed. Reagan had his share of issues with Tip O'Neil but they had dialog- he was liked by more people collectively I believe to date since he was President. Reagan was the last decent President imo. He tried to fix immigration, but the globalists-business wouldn't vote to sanction employers, if they enforced strict control on hiring, no problems like today.
Next, his Vice President began really the mess we have now imo. Bush 1, who mixed us up in the Middle East with saving his friends in Kuwait. He was a career Swamp critter, I pointed this out before in this thread his father was a criminal, just like the Kennedy Patriarch was a criminal. Then he gets the funeral of a King, paid for by Taxpayers. Clinton's Presidency was full of bickering, and his Lewinsky thing embarrassed the USA, Hillary tries to get single payer health care and it's rejected fortunately. Clinton somehow got lucky on the economic cycle, then Bush 2 and his creating the DHS- instead of subcontracting it all, and his increase in NSA/CIA/Patriot/Spy on Americans act, and chasing after Saddam for revenge on threats to his daddy.
Then do-nothing "but increase the debt " Obama, screws up healthcare, and Immigration issues increase, those 8 years went by fast. People started hating the Police more than ever. "Barry" Kenyaboy messed up Illinois and left Chicago a mess, then he comes to Washington to do the same. Libya and Arab spring thing happened under his watch. Benghazi and Hillary's scandals.
Yet now, Trump who says things that anger people gets picked on for things that he did WAY before the Oval office. Including now. Who gives a rip about business dealings before someone enters office? I certainly don't. It is only what decisions are made and what counts during office.
As far as the drama going on in DC now, it's all about power and ego battles. Had Paul Ryan been able to lead, we would have a wall, and other issues fixed by now. That lazy a*hole is partly why things are screwed up. Now in 2 months, the Democrats have been transformed by social media twitter idiots on both sides slamming each other, the President does not help himself with his comments. I get that he wants to bite back, but that makes the whole thing like a TV Drama. I don't know how many times he is going to repeat "There is no collusion", like the news does against him, over and over.
The News media has really been anti-Trump from the minute Van Jones made his Turd comment after the election night, it's been down the sewer since then as far as class and decorum.
As far as the political climate, the best thing Trump has done is expose the Swamp for what it is. Career swamp dwellers and leeches of tax dollars. During Obama, the wealth really increased in DC. They don't build or manufacture anything in DC, it's pure sucking on the American Taxpayers dime. Until Trump, nobody dared complain about the "system", it was great for exposing lopsided trade relations and doing something about it disagree with how, he is taking action. He exposed NATO scamming the American public, for reinforcing the Globalist agenda of exporting jobs from the US. Nafta was crazy, thanks to Clintons for that mess. Ross Perot warned everybody.
You know, the infrastructure in the US isn't that bad, if you compare it to other countries. Sure the Airports suck and are old, nothing like say Barajas, Zurich or Frankfurt which I mentioned before, but they are newer. I have been in quite a few international airports and most suck and are old, worn out just like some in the states.
The US highway system is really nice and fast- best I have ever seen, better than in Asia and Europe. Wider. Not clean like Switzerland, but not filthy retched like Manila. The Chinese have built out their infrastructure recently on cheap labor and copying US technology. Japanese too. S. Korea too. They out traded the US. But Labor Unions are also a cause of exporting jobs. Lazy fat ass union aerospace and autoworkers- they are part of the problem too, same ilk as lazy govt employees. Then Corporations cannot design decent cars. When was the last time you owned a GM car? They have failed at marketing and design.
Bottom line is the world has too much information and opinion flying to fast- now that people react before thinking- they react like children- both sides. The anger and hate is disgusting, and uncalled for. After the Kavanaugh hearing things got really ridiculous, Fake Dr. Palo Alto whats her name. Then especially these recent 2 months of garbage- 3 nobody millennials listening to Mr. Free Stuff Bernie in congress on twitter make outrageous claims, ideas, attempting to disrupt the entire system in a social justice b.s. agenda, and non-capitalist manner- what a joke.
But why should we worry? The world is going to end in 12 years anyway according to climate experts like AOC.
