Oh gee, yes, I hope he succeeds at alienating the rest of the globe, deporting half the agricultural workforce, goading us into nuclear war, bringing church and state closer together than ever before and denying climate change, childhood obesity, etc etc?

Once Trump is done, we will truly be a Flaming Globe.

If this was one of Trump's businesses, this is the point where he'd declare bankruptcy and run away.

"If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. He's the one who has to get people together!"

if his agenda is to hurt racial minorities, women, the LGBTQ community, and immigrants, why would we possibly want him to succeed? I do hope he fails, and he has, and will continue to. Your blind obedience to your figurehead no matter what his actions are just underlines your fascist beliefs.

Trump shows us the "art of the deal" by walking away from a deal with Schumer on DACA, and preferring to have a government shutdown.

Or at least, the far-right congress members who were the last to have his ear before the decision preferred the government shutdown.

DACA is a conservative bill. It doesn't even give these undocumented immigrants, who have lived in America since childhood, many of whom may have lived many years without even knowing they don't have papers, a pathway to citizenship. It just gives them temporary amnesty and allows them to go to school, get work permits, and pay taxes. But the "family values" far-right can't even stand not tearing families apart and not sending ICE agents to take people from their homes in the night.

Republicans are disingenuously hard pushing the narrative that the democrats shut the gov down to favor foreigners over Americans

someone who's lived here since they were a child is an American undocumented or not

There's been obvious upsides. The markets are booming, jobs are steadily increasing. A lot of useless red tapes been removed. There's a lot to like if you're an American.

bullshit fox news talking point. ask any real economist how much of an influence a president's policies have on the economy in the span of a year (hint: it's basically no correlation). The Wall Street economy is good because of Barack Obama. The real economy has been spiraling downward for decades and Trump's policies are only furthering the divide between rich and poor

stock markets always boom after tax cuts

it means nothing unless you're someone who lives off of capitol

without progressive wealth redistribution none of that money is "trickling down" to workers and the massive costs will down the line be taken out of programs that benefit the middle class

A wealth of evidence also shows that tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy don't actually stimulate the economy or create jobs.

Corporate taxes are the price corporations pay to make profit. Investing in the company through hiring more people is already tax-deductible. So, when you cut corporate taxes, that just creates more incentive to increase profits and shareholder paycheques, and less incentive to create jobs.

The wealthy also don't put their money back into the economy as much as people who need to spend that money for day-to-day expenses do. It goes into their personal investments to make them richer.

The only thing I hate more than red tape is the environment. And poor people.

Even though this is a grammatical error, it's still kinda true.

Those on Capitol Hill benefit from tax cuts, because their corporate and wealthy donors reward them handsomely for them.

(But still, you mean "capital," though.)

Doesn't sound like Don and Melania did much celebrating for their 13th wedding anniversary after the news of Don and Stormy's missionary adventures hit.
