I'm starting this thread so Farmstud won't hijack Vitaman's very good thread on Trump's isolation.For the most part regarding China trade, Trump's tariffs still stand. One of the drivers of inflation. Those costs were just passed on to the consumer. Trump is now proposing a 60% tax on imports.
Interesting question Farmstud. I can't think of any that represented a change, where the positives outweighed the negatives. There must be something though.
I had high hopes when he came to office that his trade policy would make more sense than Trump's, but those were dashed. Originally Posted by Tiny

Anyway, it is silly to say the man has done nothing. Just because some things he has done may not have directly affected someone so one is unaware, does not mean it has not had a positive impact on millions of others.

And in all fairness and objectivity for Trump fans, I included a similar list for you as well from the same site:

Now- if Biden either now or in the short term takes on new strategies towards the border- that would likely be a good idea also.I think the bipartisan border bill they tried to pass back in February was a great start toward solving the problem. If only Trump had not scuttled the bill the republicans could have campaigned on solving the border issue. Let’s hope the conservatives get something comparable after the 2024 election. My guess is that the house will be under democratic control and they won’t want to pass the same bill as before.
Believe it or not- oil output has increased since both Trump an Pence left office. It's actually up 16% since Jan 2021 when Biden took office.
Oh- and Brandon hasn't been indicted and screaming "witch-hunt" for 7 yrs straight like a fucking parrot with Tourrets. Originally Posted by eyecu2

Electricity is important, but wind and solar are increasing costs and reducing reliability so a disaster in the making.

Further, a lot of industrial equipment is NOT the target of ill-informed middle America- as the power needs and durability for farm equipment and other high power off-grid equipment are designed to operate. This is just more talking points from Anti-EV equipment that will never be on the farm. Something else that's funny is there is always a place for solar in sunny climates. Last I checked- When there isn't a fucking tornado telling ppl in the corn belt to get the fuck out-, there is a lot of summer sunshine there too.

Nobody thinks that cleaner energy is going to be 100% replacing diesel or gas motors- but the options of making them part of the process and efficient should be a part of the solution as much as just burning oil and coal to drive the heartland. That's a no-brainer. Hell go back 120 yrs and they were using horses- 1892 is the beginning of the tractors out in the mid west, and alot was still being done by horses till the 30's and 40's since they were expensive. So - why is it so hard to embrace new ideas and tech when this latest shit was only around for the past 100 yrs or so??

Fire up the Yoked Oxen much???
What would be wrong with allowing trains to have an electric grid supporting them when it was available to do so?? - just like every larger city does for it's train systems in general. Originally Posted by eyecu2
