Trump

My life is much different than most. I am, for the most part, retired. My income is set pretty much for life. The decisions of the POTUS, for the most part, have little to no impact on my life. The question that was asked was how Trump has impacted MY life. That is a far different question than asking how Trump has impacted, positively or negatively, the lives of people in this country and around the world, today and in the future, based on his actions while in office.

Negatives about Trump? Failure to repeal/replace Obamacare and has done nothing else to improve the healthcare problems that do exist. A tax plan that put a great deal of money in the hands of corporations and the rich and little to those in the middle of the middle class and lower. Failure to do anything so far to stem the tide of immigrants coming to our borders. Failure to get funding through normal processes to build his wall. And is now trying to circumvent Congress in order to do so. Lowest approval rating in the history of approval ratings. And they are lower outside the U.S. in most countries, including most of our closest allies. Renegotiation of NAFTA with no known benefits to anyone in the U.S. other than milk producers.

I'm sure I could add to that given a few reminders, but I think that these are enough for now.

My taxes were higher but so what. My Health insurance actually went downs $ 23.00 per month. Not exactly a game changer either way. I thrived in the Obama years and Im thriving now. Trump inherited a great economy. Obama inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression. You Trump people are very short sighted. Lets see where the economy is at after the 4 years. Hopefully good. BTW wheres the new health care? Wheres the wall? Originally Posted by themystic

Trump's policies have caused several companies that utilize my services to invest(large scale multibillion dollar) in the United States. This has stabilized my business, and led to far less travel on my part.

Trump's policies have illuminated several fascist movements in my home state, illustrating their behavior, and allowing their progressive agenda to be stopped in its tracks. The exposure of these lying, hateful, sexist, racebaiting bigots has put a sense of fresh air into personal gatherings that hasn't been felt in 15 years. Trump can't take all of the credit, though, because the lessons of the debacle in Venezuela had been a potent air cleaner, as well.

I don't know how many times I heard you can't blame Obama for this or that bla bla bla be thankful your a old man who won't be around to see this country turned in to a shit hole with people being elected to congress and the senate

Well, that is just not true. Estimates I have read state that approximately 15% of tax filers will pay more under the new tax plan than they did under the old plan. For one, those families with many children will probably see their taxes go up due to the loss of exemptions. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

I said Trump's actions have had little negative impact on my life, although I forgot about his tariffs which have had just that. For the most part, Trump's actions have negatively impacted OTHERS in this country and other countries.

I may have misinterpreted the statement. I read it as saying that EVERYONE benefitted from the tax cut. Maybe you meant it as saying you benefitted and no one can dispute that.

The overwhelming majority of taxpayers in this country got a break in their taxes. Some did not. I have never said otherwise.

My life is different, for one, because I am not dependent on the ups and downs of the stock market. How many people, at this point in time, can say their income is guaranteed for the rest of their life?

i find that .. questionable and unfortunate. for you.

I pay somewhat less in taxes than in prior years, so I do benefit from that. Especially since I don't live in a state with high SALT (no income tax in Texas).


Also, I think most of us benefit from the economic gains accruing from a lightening of the regulatory onslaught, which many people felt would be not only continued intact but even expanded under the hildebeest.


And there's the corporate tax cut, which removes the strong incentive of US firms to move operations offshore or to engage in maneuvers such as inversions in order to lessen their tax liabilities. Prior to that act, the US rate was no longer competitive, since European countries have been aggressively cutting corporate tax rates over the last 20 years or so.


Tariffs? Trade wars? Big expansions of the fiscal deficit? Those are certainly concerns, and it will be a few years before we'll see how all that shakes out. But for now, the sailing looks pretty good.

It couldn't be easier. Trump is a cocksucking liar. Which side of the rock do you live on?
Go ahead and deny he is a liar. That would be a thread that last past his defeat for re-election.
Duh.

I do not feel unfortunate. Our family income is 6 figures. Guaranteed for life. The average household income for retirees is about $48,000 a year.
