I'd rather not be here with people like you anyway. I don't deal well with Trump haters. I didn't like Biden but I never said a bad word about him.
The only people worth badmouthing are Christians who hate. You're my enemy.
This'll be a record. Two posts and now you'll never have to deal with me again.

For the goals I'm not in charge of specifying those, but from my perspective as an outsider I notice a few:
  • stopping illegal immigration / deporting anyone without valid visa
  • stopping Fed voting for non-citizens
  • stopping illegal social security payments to non-qualifying applicants
  • reducing the Fed budget deficit to reduce/stop money supply growth in order to put a brake on inflation and for the Fed Gov to avoid bankruptcy
  • reduce waste/improve efficiency of all Fed departments
  • stopping woke/DEI policies and reinstate assignments purely based on merit/suitability
  • reducing reliance on China / preparing the nation for oncoming conflict in Asia
  • removing the threat of Iran becoming a Nuclear-capable nation
  • stopping the covert/gradual take-over of control over the Panama canal by China and Panama treating USA shipping traffic unfairly
  • stopping the war in Ukraine and its massive bloodshed, working on a feasible endgame
No doubt there are many more; I would agree to all those - but I disagree with the Trump Team on their perspective on Ukraine. I consider him naive on Russia/Putin. I also disagree with the Trump Team on the lack of use of principles in matters like Greenland.

Australia is a democracy like the United States, so I hope you will understand. None of these are long-term goals or achievements. President Trump is using executive orders to achieve some of these actions, so on January 20, 2029, if a Democrat is elected to the White House, all of these could be reversed.

If President Trump wants long term solution for of undocumented immigrants coming to the USA, or those who are in USA without legal status , he would need to ask Congress to pass relevant laws. This is the only way to achieve long-term goals. The same principle applies to trade policy and alliances. For any long-term objectives, actions must be taken through Congress rather than by executive order.

That country is in an emergency - so these immediate actions make perfect sense. It's a long standing practice among many countries to have borders and actively police them. People without a valid passport of visa or refused at any airport or border in the world (except for when they apply for asylum, that's a different category); for decades the USA have deported people with expired or non-existent visas. But in the past years the situation at the Mexican border completely spun out of control - and the Biden Gov lacked any political will to change that - and even accommodated the flow of illegal migrants to let them land well in the USA. It's hilarious and incomprehensible that some are in favour of passport/visa checks at JFK airport but against a border fence in Texas .. You think countries like India, China, Russia or Australia would allow that? Anyone who overstays his visa gets deported here once detected.

Why not? Are you worried that his feelings would get hurt?

Find me a country with as long of a border that has a wall that runs that entire length.

Then would it fascinate you to learn that Trump ABSOLUTELY decimated ICE's budget during his first term. ICE had a very low number of apprehensions inside territorial USA during that stint.

If you believe everything you posted, that's fine. I won't debate the topic, but because President Trump uses executive orders rather than the legislative branch, all these actions can be reversed by a new president on January 20, 2029. Therefore, President Trump's efforts are temporary and seem like political showmanship that will end on January 20, 2029.

Of course there's going to be free elections in 2028. You will be free to vote for Trump.

AMBASSADOR HAT

You're my enemy.

I'd rather not be here with people like you anyway. I don't deal well with Trump haters. I didn't like Biden but I never said a bad word about him.
The only people worth badmouthing are Christians who hate. You're my enemy.

Please refrain from writing posts like this, as they violate the following Christian Forums rules:

Flaming and Goading​

  • Please treat all members with respect and courtesy through civil dialogue.
  • Do not personally attack (insult, belittle, mock, ridicule) other members or groups of members on CF, or use nicknames to do so. A list of unacceptable names can be found here.. Address only the content of the post and not the poster.
  • "Calling out" a member is an unsolicited comment about another member in reference to something they may have said, their personal beliefs, their signature, or their avatar (challenging the member in a negative manner). This applies to any thread, whether the called out member is participating in that thread or not. Do not quote, or make comments about another member, in your signature or user title.
In this case, you addressed the poster notyourenemy's username. That's a call out. Then you proceeded to personally attack all of the other posters in this thread by saying that they were Trump haters and saying that you didn't want to hang out with them.

And please refrain from posting profanity, which is against the site rules. Even if it ends up filtered, it is a severe offense that the staff take very seriously.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For everyone else, this rule is worth remembering:

  • If you are flamed, do not respond in-kind. Alert staff to the situation by utilizing the report button.
Saying that this new user is "not going to be around for very long" is also calling out in response to the call out. Posts that evaluate the behavior of another user in a negative manner are call outs. Further posts in this thread need to get back on topic, which is Donald Trump's recent actions and whether they reflect knowledge of what he is doing.

AMBASSADOR HAT OFF
