Now, said countries are probably on the long waiting list with their tails between their legs to call Trump to renegotiate their tariffs down to zero. That is a win for the U.S.
Alternatively, said countries might be on the waiting list to give Trump whatever favors he wants. That would be a corrupt personal gain for Trump, and a loss for the U.S.

Emotional hyperbole doesn't work on conservatives. I thought I talked about that. We have to have hearts before you can tug on our heart strings.
Did compassionate conservatism go out the window when George W Bush left office?

I was hoping there would at least be some conservatives here that would feel for the needs of those around them.

Yup. Tired of all these personal attacks.

Given the complaints from conservatives that her policies were identical to Biden's, probably a lot like 2024 - low inflation, increasing stock prices, stable mortgage rates, decent unemployment numbers, and we still had trading partners who don't hate us.

Seems a lot better than what we're stuck with now.
I don’t think we live in the same reality. The Biden administration was a complete disaster, and I’m thankful Harris isn’t President.

He’s keeping his promises. Get over it.
Why would anybody be happy that Trump is keeping his promises to spread hate and destruction?

What destruction?

Trump voters, your 401K just went down 10% in 2 days. Prices are about to go way up.

It was easy to see this would happen if you elected Trump. You did it anyway.

You happy now?
Yes, I am happy.

I do not have a 401K, I am 77 and retired.

We could not have gone on the way we were going, IMO. And the best way was to start from as close to scratch with as even a playing field as we could get.

As to the market. It goes up, it goes down, and over the past 30 or 40 years it has done so several times.

Blessings

Yeah. It was a disaster.
Ah, so your reply didn't mention a single bad thing that would overshadow all the good things in that long list.

Trump being Trump. Not saying I love him, but I felt like this election I had no choice but to vote for him. Sorry.
You had no choice but to vote for a hateful, destructive person. Maybe take a look at your fellow republicans and ask yourself why they ever put you in that position where you have no choice.

Well funding is being restored and there were instances of funding going to the wrong place like payments to the Taliban:




a briefing this week, department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce cited a U.S. government watchdog’s 2024 finding that department contractors reported paying at least $10.9 million to Afghanistan’s Taliban government in taxes, utility payments and fees




The “compassionate conservatism” of the Bush regimes gave us Afghanistan, Iraq & Middle East upheaval to begin with creating much of our current problems.

I didn’t want the alternative. It was a tough decision, but I voted based on policies, not for any other reasons.
