What core American values does Trump support?

[OddBeMe]

Good question...

[exitseven]

American excellence. President Trump wants America to be the best at everything. The best economy, the best standard of living, the strongest military, best transportation system, best medical facilities, the best educational opportunities, and the biggest producer of energy.

To accomplish this we need the best and brightest people and a united country.

[Avicenna]

Leftists don’t want that

[exitseven]

@Avicenna obviously, They want just the opposite. They will turn the US into a third world hellhole if they get the chance.

[Avicenna]

The leftists think they will have a comfortable life in control of the masses. Little do they know that their leftist overlords are using them as useful idiots and consider them dispensable as well.

Once again, you crack us up! LOL So let's break this down:
* The best economy -- that depends on what you mean. #1 in GDP, yes. In affordability for housing however, as of 2025, 57% of U. S. households, or 76.4 million out of 134.3 million, cannot afford a $300,000 home based on conventional underwriting standards that cap mortgage, property tax, and insurance payments at 28% of household income. The nationwide median price for a new single-family home reached $459,826, meaning approximately 75% of U. S. households cannot afford this median-priced new home at a 6.5% mortgage rate.
* The best standard of living: USA ranks 13th to 24th, depending on which stats you ascribe to.
* The strongest military: Yes, #1, you'd expect that when 16% of your budget goes to Defense
* Best transportation system: Globally the USA is ranked as "sub-par" for mass transit systems and public ridership. Pick any survey, they all agree.
* Best medical facilities: While the USA has 43 hospitals ranking in the global Top 200, it ranks only 14th in overall health care. But it DOES have a #1 ranking in health care -- 2 of them actually. The first is in dollars spent per capita with the worst health results, and the second is Maternal Mortality for Developed Nations. Way to go!!
* Best educational opportunities: USA ranks 15th in education worldwide. The average cost of a basic 4 year degree is $110,000. More "elite" universities cost up to $234,000 for a 4 year degree, which gets you pretty much NOTHING these days.
* The USA is #2 in the world when it comes to Cost of Education! Only Luxembourg costs more!
* Biggest producer of energy: That would be China. US is #2 overall, #1 in oil and natural gas.

Any functional thinker might then ask: So WHY, if the USA is number 2 in overall energy production, is the cost of electricity and natural gas so high? You might have to look that one up.

To accomplish this we need the best and brightest people and a united country.

" To accomplish this we need the best and brightest people and a united country"
Obviously the way to accomplish that is through censorship, book banning and defunding of grants for STEM projects.

The Trump administration canceled hundreds of grants related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), though these were research grants rather than scholarships. In April 2025, the administration terminated funding for over 800 STEM education projects, primarily targeting those related to combating disinformation and what the administration called "woke science".

United country? Well, yes... we are! According to PEW Research, the most well-respected, unbiased research organization in the world, President Donald Trump’s current job approval rating stands at 38%, with 60% of U. S. adults expressing disapproval of his performance.

Yeah, we're united alright.

@loveslongnails I imagine it has to do with windmills. The moonbat state I live in has the highes telectric rates in the lower 48 states, The crazy governor is pushing wind power which is the most expensive.

[loveslongnails]

LMAO Good Lord, you have more strawmen than a cornfield in Nebraska. LMAO

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails It;s a crazy state. If I could talk my wife into moving i would put my house on the market while I can still get top dollar or it and buy a bigger and better house in Florida. The state I live in ia at the top of the list for people fleeing to other states.

• Entitlement
• Arrogance
• Hate
• Jealousy
• Gluttony
• Laziness
• Lust

This is how tRump has represented the USA on the world stage. This is what the world thinks of us now. Because we chose this to lead us.

Putting Americans first.

@Avicenna except Europe.

@Avicenna Poland and hungry maybe.

[genericname85]

the only "core value" a politician supports is their personal profit. litterally nothing else.

[OddBeMe]

Not wrong. And perhaps not wrong of the politician. If we had more voters politics could incentivize them to work for us

[genericname85]

If politics was payed by performance metrics like pretty much all of the industries, I figure there would be better outcomes. But it doesn't matter how bad a job they do in representing the people's needs. They get rich anyway. So why care about the peoples needs? All you have to do is pretend you care untill you're in office and then it doesn't matter anymore and you can start stuffing your pockets.

[msc545]

Trump definitely supports the American core value of greed and secondary core value of avarice. He also supports the core value of cheating others to get as much as you can for yourself and further supports the core value of ignoring the welfare of others in favor of your own welfare and only your own. I'm sure I'm for getting other values that he supports. But these are the ones that occurred to me just now.

[beefcakebradybatson]

THANKS MUCH for that assessment of Agent Orange, msc545 !!!

[seeyounexttuesday]

This is easy. Put American interests first. The antithesis of you losers.

[IHaveRespawned]

Agreed! Americans first! How are we expected to take care of the world when we cannot even take care of ourselves?

[Avicenna]

@IHaveRespawned: Exactly, but as we have seen, leftists don’t actually want to take care of the rest if the works, they want power over us and to get rich and powerful by pretending to want to take care of the rest of the world.

[OddBeMe]

This certainly helped during ww2 when it was first thunk up by right wing racists

[seeyounexttuesday]

What’s the chat gpt prompt for that reply “give me the stupidest thing to say”?

[DrPepper12]

He's more religious than secular. He embodies & lives the 7 deadly sins

[Snakeyes7]

That protecting the cruel is cruelty for the innocent.

[Sevenpointfive]

the only two i can think of are being a bully and suing people to get rich. it's embarrassing that he has any in common.

[loveslongnails]

Tell me exactly what you think are "core American values", because I'm sure you don't agree with my assessment. LOL

[OddBeMe]

Providing the best possible solution that would benefit the most people.

[loveslongnails]

Not being facetious, but since when has that been a "core American value"? It would be nice to think it was, but it hasn't been. But let's say for a moment that it is, then for certain, Trump does not, nor has he EVER, nor WILL he ever, support that value.

Trump has always been a Capitalist who is now embracing Oligarchism, Authoritarianism and Dictatorship. Suggesting that he believes in or ascribes to ANY form of a Star Trekkian like belief, such as "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one", is absolutely ridiculous.
