One thing that confuses me about the current defense of Trumps tactics are those that state he’s doing exactly what he said he would. Curious as to the thoughts of those that are defending Trump by saying “this is what he promised,” “we knew what we were getting,” etc. How do you respond to this? Understanding many of these videos are often edited heavily this one is truly clips of the man himself and his “promises.” 
 

Does this upset you? Do you just consider this another example of him just “being Donald the blowhard?” Do you think folks less knowledgeable and less economically stable than most here thought he would actually do the things he said in this video? Or they “knew” he would do the opposite and for some reason voted for him anyway?

 

(standard disclaimer that I think Biden was top 3-4 worst presidents of all time). 
 

Im truly not trolling. I would love to get some conversation going with folks I respect on the other side of the isle like @B-Man and @JDHillFan, (and others). 
 

Let’s see if we can be civil. Was this just a case of a politician being a politician and making promises to get votes? My concern is that his promises and his actual actions are polar opposites. Do you think this “temporary pain” is truly going to help folks financial situations “eventually” and how long will that take?

Exactly. Why do you think Senators from states with big poor white trailer populations (Hawley, Tillis) are all worked up about Medicaid cuts?

yup.  And Hawley folded.

 

Fairly well describe here (Levine is a tool tho).  Another lesson here is don't sign up for Medicare advantage plans if you can help it.

Yes, of course. 
 

But unless they used an AI Trump, they are simply using clips of the man speaking. I fully understand he has been misquoted/taken out of context by the left many times before - “very good people” “suckers and losers,” to name a few times the left embarrassed themselves by taking things out of context when they don’t need to because he has plenty of stupid s.hit on his own accord -  but these are pretty clear cut, regardless of which station reported on them, no?

Inflation is not going down, egg prices spiked in March but are back down (and while I truly don’t believe the POTUS has control, nor should worry about ***** eggs - just eat less eggs, fatties  - , he said he would reduce the price “from day one” so he should have just skipped that one, but my biggest issue is: 

 

“We’re not going to touch Medicare” is a pretty binary statement - and regardless if it was posted on MSNBC or Breitbart, it’s an out and out lie.

There rural red state voters are gonna love this

 

Americans who comprise the bottom fifth of all earners would see their annual after-tax incomes fall on average by 2.3 percent within the next decade, while those at the top would see about a 2.3 percent boost, according to the analysis, which factors in wages earned and government benefits received.

On average, that translates to about $560 in losses for someone who reports little to no income by 2034, and more than $118,000 in gains for someone making over $3 million, the report found. Martha Gimbel, the co-founder of the budget lab, described the Senate measure as “highly regressive.”

The disparity owes largely to the fact that Republicans aim to pay for their tax cuts by slashing programs for the poor, including Medicaid and food stamps. The cuts amount to one of the largest retrenchments in the federal safety net in a generation. But the savings they generate only offset a fraction of the total cost of the bill, which is expected to add more than $3 trillion to the federal debt by 2034.

Republicans have continued to defend the package as a win for all Americans. On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the bill as a “deal for working people,” saying on Fox News that it would protect Medicaid.

But the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office previously found that nearly 12 million more Americans could become uninsured by 2034 if a recent version of Senate Republicans’ bill were to become law. That includes Medicaid recipients, who could lose benefits because of how Mr. Trump and his party aspire to retool the program’s funding structure.

Donald Trump's Approval Rating Reverses Course (improving) With Most Accurate Pollster

 

Latest polling by TIPP found that Trump's net approval rating in terms of job performance specifically has increased from -5 in May to -2 in June, suggesting his standing among voters is improving.

 

The June poll means Trump's approval rating has almost returned to the point it was at in April, when TIPP found he had a -1 approval rating. That poll found that 44 percent approved and 45 percent disapproved of the job Trump was doing.

 

TIPP is considered the most accurate pollster as it is the only national poll to correctly identify the winners of the last six presidential elections.
