Good things Trump has done as President

[cupid_stunt]

he actually wore a mask, well done. 140,000 dead by this months end

The official figure tipped over 150,000 yesterday, although there's been reports that it's under estimated by about 30%.

He gave the boxer, Jack Johnson, a posthumous pardon for his jailing over a hundred years ago. Er................ can't think of anything else the cunt's done, ever, that can be seen as positive.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

He's too incompetent to build the requisite military coalitions needed to invade another country, as the Soleimani debacle showed. He is continuing the drone slaughter, at a higher and even less accountable rate than Obama.

Ah - a 2018 article.

Thought you had something new and I couldn't find it.
Saw lots of stuff from two years ago and thought that you couldn't be referring to that.

Ah!!!

You are being deliberately (I hope it is deliberate) obtuse by attempting to mess up yet another chronological, political thread.

 

[Streathamite]

Beyond that, he's opened the door a little more for Bernie Sanders or a similar outsider from the left to someday become president because fuck it, if that Trump clown can get to the White House, anything is possible.

Actually, yes. He has inspired such a huge backlash that the emerging generations are going to be that much more angry and radical. in fact, it may even have facilited a future President AOC

 

[Shechemite]

Soleimani

Yeah I think we should give him that

 

[Marty1]

Yeah I think we should give him that

Also Baghdadi.

And taking on ISIS.

 

[Yossarian]

His stance toward China could conceivably have counted as a good thing, but it later emerged that he was fellating Xi Jinping and begging for help winning the election the second they had some private time together.

More like 150,000

There is a lot of his foreign policy like that. He will attack something bad which is a power that being such a loon has, but it never goes well

Sam Harris is a bit of a nob but his 'Evil Chance the Gardener' label of Trump is absolutely spot on

 

[Humberto]

Guy couldn't govern a jumble sale, just wants to play soldiers like Johnson and lean on others in the meantime.

He's very much a knob

Good boy!!!

Canada celebrates U.S. abandoning of aluminum tariffs, drops plans to retaliate

The federal government is celebrating the United States' decision to lift its 10 per cent tariff on Canadian aluminum, with Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland calling the tariffs a mistake from the beginning, and 'good news' for aluminum workers on both sides of the border.

www.ctvnews.ca

As soon as Trump said the new tariffs were coming, Canadian officials said they planned to hit back with $3.6 billion in dollar-for-dollar retaliatory countermeasures once the industry was consulted on a broad list of potential products to slap tariffs on.

Freeland has previously indicated the approach will be how to “inflict the minimal amount of damage on Canada, and to have frankly the strongest possible impact in the United States.”

Among the list of potential U.S. aluminum products Canada had its sights on are beverage cans, washing machines, refrigerators, bicycles and golf clubs, meaning prices on both sides of the border would likely increase for these products.

In unveiling the tariffs, Trump claimed that the American aluminum business has been “decimated” by Canada, calling it “very unfair” and accusing Canadian producers of flooding the U.S. with exports.

Yeah I think we should give him that

Hmm...the US going in for extrajudicial assassination is a good thing?
(and yes, I agree Soleimani was a menace)

Is the Shia crescent stronger or weaker for solemanis assassination? it seems weaker.

Iran’s ongoing humiliation (no honourable revenge for them on the horizon) can’t be good for the authoritarian left and extreme right in the US/Europe.

Also the technical side of it was impressive

If there is a vacuum in power with nothing good to fill it, something bad will

I'm going to apologise in advance for not knowing what I'm on about, but Iran seems to be in a power struggle between nationalists and Islamists, if America intervenes by assassinating one of them, then it gives the other ones power and also increases the reasons for their leadership to be paranoid and authoritarian. If it had been reversed and Iran had assassinated someone like Mike Pence to scare Trump, that would not have been a good thing

 

[Streathamite]

neither - but more volatile. qand all that will happen, is that someone even more brutal, but less rational and more extreme than Solemaini will take his place. The Iranian revolution and State is about sovery much more than him. (Plus - and I can't stress this enough - jihadist terror is almost entirely a Sunni Muslim thing, not Shia).
but either way, my point is that it's wrong for states which endlessly tout their liberal-democratic credentials, rule of law etc, to conduct bumping off people their spooks label bad guys.
It was wrong when Obama did it, and ditto when Trump does it.
