Are you really happy with what Trump is doing?

[Anonymous]

What Trump is trying to build is a system with no checks, no balances, and no redress. That’s why his allies are trying to gut habeas corpus—the bedrock of legal freedom. Without it, there’s no court review, no fair hearing, no chance to challenge your detention. If Trump has his way, there will be no Constitution; there will be only Trump.

As his Dementia worsens, he gets angrier and angrier, and his behavior gets more and more outrageous and offensive.

Where and how does this end?

No, and I never did. For his first years in office, all he did was complain about the Mueller investigation on him, which proved that Richard Barr was paid to say that Trump did nothing while the Mueller report said otherwise. He did nothing for the economy while taking the credit for Obama's pulling out of a recession; he did nothing about Covid situation but complain about the mean in charge of overseeing it and trying to compare smarts with him about it (like injecting bleach into veins).

This year so far in the past few months, all he has done is allow a non-US citizen look into our records and personal information, fire 7 thousand federal employees out of their jobs and other people from federal jobs this raising the unemployment %, use ICE like Pitbull dogs out to get people, legal and not, and sending US citizens to El Salvador, Cuba, Texas and Florida, accept a plane from the UE which is against the Constitution, and go against judges' and Supreme Court orders. And Congress does nothing.

Funny, you don't hear MAGA complaining about the food prices now, unlike when Biden was in office. I guess it's ok for Trump to destroy democracy and the country as long as he is the one in office. He has done NOTHING to improve the economy, lower grocery prices, or end the war in the Ukraine. That was just a bait for people to take to vote for him.

Everyone who wasn't in a cult knew he would do this. We're turning into North Korea. Worse are his dumb tariffs. He was elected to lower prices. He isn't doing it. DOGE was a failure and he's trying to raise the debt limit 5 trillion. Why would someone interested in cutting spending need to do that? All the wars he said he'd end continue. Other than deporting people (which most people only want criminals deported like how Obama did it) he isn't doing anything he said and he's doing that one thing all wrong too.

Umm... generally, yeah. I'd say I'm happy with it. I hear so many people complaining about the constitutionality and/or abusiveness of what's going on, but it's important to remember just how screwed up this country was. This stuff didn't start with Trump. He only pointed it out and he's taken huge steps to reverse the corruption and damage.

• To the extent that Trump is being abusive, it's only as a response to people receiving benefits who shouldn't be.
• Trump was treated so so so much worse than he's treating the people who very illegally went after him. The man has shown an amazing level of restraint.
• Our constitution has been interpreted wildly permissively for last 70 years to the extent that we've been giving complete assholes a free pass to be assholes (looking at you, Mr Khalil) with little more pushback than a shrug and "aww shucks."
• Drug prices have continued going down.
• Armed conflicts have been slowing down.

I haven't been so thrilled with the sloppiness of certain scandals, like what happened with the text messages. That's really not a very big deal though.

problem is he goes too far sometimes. so mostly happy with trying to rebuild the country and create a strong foundation, and I'm ok with him whacking other leaders on the heads on issues theyve ignored and are content with... in hopes it gets issues addressed. The system becomes complacent as do people.

some of the process and law being stretched, I think a bad idea... just creates waves for the other side and isn't necessary.

Yes, the country has gotten really screwed up over the last 4 years. There ae 20 million people who need deportation, the economy is in ruins, we are stuck funding a proxy war with Russia and our military has been decimated.
President Trump can only be in office one term and the democrats are trying to stop him anyway that they can.
They have been using unelected low level judges to issue arbitrary rulings against pretty much everything that he is doing. This situation wil be curtailed after congress finishes passing the reconciliation bill cuttently in the Senate.

[missindiana93]

Yes i am. Im a woman who has a brain and is traditional. Even though federal judges are trying to block every attempt we did not vote for judges we voted for a president.

[Dargil]

He hasn't done enough. He needs to get the lead out.

[Anonymous]

With the possible exception of the tariffs (I'll reserve judgment until we see how that plays out), I'm very happy with what Trump is doing. Most of it is long overdue.

[Twalli]

He said he would be a dictator on day 1. He didn't say he'd stop.

[OddBeMe]

No im not for corruption.
