Deal with UK to be Completed Very, Very Quickly - Trump

[pErvinalia]

So the sole thing he's done was a step backwards? Good effort, that.

Famous Trump trade deals. Free trade deals do not tax either partner. And these are are unfair to the US because....because...nobody knows why.

[Scot Dutchy]

Has Trump actually done anything? This will be added to the "list of things I promised but never will do".

He's exited the Paris accord.


Good man.

He was never in it the dumbfuck.

Because countries like China and India etc don't compete on a level field.
They don't clean up their shit after them, and they make babies work all day for peanuts. Why should Americans have to compete with that?

If you want to talk about "shoulds", then we could talk about colonialism and all the wealth the first world stole from the third world. The first world probably "should" pay some of that back.

Well, I'm living in the present. If you want to reverse history, good luck with that.

Maybe people in countries like India would like to go back to feudal times, living as the property of some nabob or other.
Most of the British Empire was built replacing horrible vicious regimes, which is how they got the locals to fight for them.

Isn't Zimbabwe lovely, now they run the place themselves?
Nasty old Britain made a right mess of the place, didn't they?

You asked why "should" they. That's why they should. Whether they will is another question.

You are pretty desperate for an argument, if you have to go back a hundred years to find one.
And it's a shit one.

Maybe the world would have been better off without penicillin. Nasty old Britain, inflicting antibiotics on a healthy third world!

Some things Trump has done.

He put through is promised lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying for foreign governments.

He put through a 5-year ban on White House and congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service.

He withdrew the US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

He put into effect a measure that for every new federal regulation, two must be eliminated.

He put through is executive order on the border wall.

He signed 13+ Congressional Review Act Resolutions, and as The Wall Street Journal editorial stated: “So far the Trump Administration is a welcome improvement, rolling back more regulations than any President in history.”

He signed 30 executive orders in his first 100 days, more than any president since Roosevelt.

He signed into law 28 new laws passed by Congress in his first 100 days, more than any present since Truman.

He submitted proposals to increase military spending by $54 billion.

He addressed the NATO member contribution deficit and apparently obtained assurances from some of the NATO members that they will be making step-up payments.

He intervened to save a Carrier plant in Indiana.

He put into place a hiring freeze on federal workers.

He's donated his entire Presidential salary to causes like the National Park Service.

He removed some roadblocks preventing the Keystone Pipeline from coming online.

He lifted some restrictions on the energy industry.

To name a few.

He said "tut tut" when North Korea let off bombs and fired off rockets.

Indeed, but apparently he's working or trying to work with the Chinese to get some action on their part to put pressure on Kim Jong Un. It's a very precarious situation. There isn't much he can do, directly, since nobody can stop North Korea from building and testing missiles. If there is something he should have done, but hasn't, I haven't heard it suggested.

Free trade is good and fair. We are in favor of free trade. We have always been in favor of free trade.
