I’d suggest looking more closely at actions vs words

Dems had a chance to do real healthcare reform and choked

Repubs admittedly suck at this stuff

Trump is also incoherent BUT he has broken the dam of dem and repub BS

He has shown that challenging the conventional wisdom can win

You need a bigger picture view

Again, what did he do for the blue collar worker?

Healthcare?

Tax breaks for the rich? :roflmao:

Wages are still stagnant and will stay that way.

Jeff Bezos slave farm is what Trump created.
A lot of jobs for little pay and no bennies.
While 1 percenters get richer.

Bigger picture lol


COSTAL ELETES

Jeff Bezos' personal bank account went from $129 billion to $150 billion in a week.

Guess how much did Amazon worker's wage increase?

Not even being paid the living wage.


Big picture lol

I’m about the long term man

People need to broadly believe it’s an ok deal

We have a plurality in f it mode right now

That is not sustainable

I advocate a mixture of greater social welfare and protectionism

Gotta market it differently from standard dem handouts though

More like WPA or citizens’ dividend or something

Take the shame out of the dole

This is what dems don’t really get

Protectionism is so easy- f other countries which are leeching on us

Will our GDP suffer? Maybe a little

But if average joes live with more dignity we’ll have a better society overall

. Trump’s not proposing this. No one in the Republican Party is proposing any of this. WTF?

How did Amazon even survive all these wage starved almost 25 years? :bawling:
The gap is widening.

If you think the wage stagnation is funny, you are the one who doesn't see the "big picture".

Dummy.

You have to start somewhere

Trump is broadly questioning the pro globalism model

He is very much an iconoclast in this area in American politics

I guess if you start at the bottom of the sewage pit, the only way is up.

Just stop claiming that it smells like roses down there.

“The NFL national anthem debate is alive and well again—can't believe it!" Trump wrote on Twitter. "Isn't it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart? The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand. First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!"

tRump... paying attention to the important stuff and looking out for the little guy! :bowdown:
