I see it all the time when I go past Trump Towers in Manhattan. To tell you the truth no one pays any attention to them. Everyone just walks right by them.

At least Trump is trying to do something productive for these States.

Cannot believe people are so against him, and want him out.

You have to remember, these are people who have no answers.. no plan themselves to the hard issues Trump has taken head on.

I worked with a guy just like that, when a problem came up out in the field and we were brainstorming possible solutions all he ever said was " that won't work".. to every possible solution.. over and over..

Finally one day I just said to him " well, why don't you just save us all a lot of time & trouble and tell us what will work!"... no answer.

For instance... Illegal Aliens... they have NO plan... that is the left in a nutshell.

I think people hate Trump for reasons that have nothing to do with the progress he is making for our country.

1. Blacks hate Trump even though they have the lowest unemployment rate in history.

2. Gays hate Trump even though he isn't trying to take away their rights.

2. Welfare queens/kings hate Trump because he keeps promising them jobs.

This morning, I watched a couple of minutes of the political view. Their guest was a black politician. He said republicans won't win by just campaigning against Nancy Pelosi and democrats won't win campaigning against Trump. But the reality is republicans are campaigning on the issues. Democrats just complain about Trump

he's like a rat trying to escape a sinking ship in the
middle of the ocean...busy laying the ground work in case
he loses control of the house or senate in the mid-terms..
planting the seed by acknowledging Russian interference is
a *real threat* but this time they want the democrats to
win, even though Putin admitted he wanted Trump to be
voted in...Captain Flipflopper is going down with the ship..laugh

here's an answer/solution...how about NOT starting
trade war and bragging about how easy it is to win one ?

Hate is defeatist. I dont know all the reasons people HATE. I do know plenty of reasons why people oppose Trump though.

1. Trump is not doing anything to change the trend of black unemployment, it has BEEN declining for a while before he came into office but it is STILL maintaining the same disparity of being twice that of Whites.

2. Trump has made an enemy of many in the LGBTQ community because of his support for Christian business owners to use discretion in their services and his attempt to ban Trans from military.

3. Trump has proposed significant cuts and restrictions to 'welfare' programs for the poor while continuing to propose significant perks and benefits to the wealthy.


There are many things about Trumps actions and behaviors that fuel opposition to his leadership. Hate is no doubt one, but I dont believe it is the bulk of the reason(s).

He is taking on tough issues head on. Is he savvy about it.. nope. Is he blunt.. yep. to the point.. yep.. rude.. yep.. abrasive.. yep.

And that is why I voted for him. I was tired of the " good ole boys" club mentality and the PC B/S

Healthcare, Tax restructuring, N. Korea, China, I.S.I.S, NATO, Illegals, Welfare, NAFTA, creating new jobs, unemployment, ect, ect, ect

All these were " taboo" topics in the past administration.."Don't stir the water" topics. All while they drained our country of money, resources.. and respect.

So, now we are not letting anyone walk all over us...friends or foe. and the good ole boys clubs don't like that,... tough

The promise was to put America first.. America.. which he is doing.

There is no need for a negro back to work program. The hard facts are some people would starve before they would work. I think welfare has taught certain families to look for freebies rather than a work ethic.

Gays want their rights but they don't want Christians to have theirs.

What is he suppose to do, he cant make business hire unqualified people, nor can he force businesses to open shop in those low income areas, we have seen the looting and burning down businesses during the riots, why would any sane business person open a business there.


2. Trump has made an enemy of many in the LGBTQ community because of his support for Christian business owners to use discretion in their services and his attempt to ban Trans from military. msharmony


christian business owners? huh?
And attempts to ban Transgender from the military ? so what how is that a bad thing?



3. Trump has proposed significant cuts and restrictions to 'welfare' programs for the poor while continuing to propose significant perks and benefits to the wealthy. msharmony


That is nonsense and you know it, cutting welfare is a good thing, too many folks abusing the system, it needs to be abolished period, and set up a new program that actually helps those in needs



There are many things about Trumps actions and behaviors that fuel opposition to his leadership. Hate is no doubt one, but I dont believe it is the bulk of the reason(s). msharmony



translation, Too many things he has done in his past ( his marriage, off the wall comments about being rich and his locker room talk)

the fact that is rubs the people ( the left) the wrong way and he is a republican today is why they can pick at every little thing.

Lord knows if he was a Democrat most of you would just shrug and dismiss it like last night cold pizza for breakfast.

here's a point to ponder...

if Roseanne Barr had made a single derogatory statement towards
Trump or his administration...he would be calling her a fat,
no talent has-been whose ratings were never as good as his..

in that same vein, if lobbyists for renewable energy had ponied
up more money and sweetheart deals for him, you can bet your last
dollar Trump would be dropping the big coal & oil industries
interests like a bad habit...

Trump doesn't care who pays, just as long as he gets his
2 scoops of ice cream and everyone else at his table profusely
profess their gratitude to him for allowing them to have
their half-portion..

he's a sell-out who will flip or flop for the best deal

____________________________________________________________________

Why does he have to? Does he have to monitor the unemployment rate of Asian, Legal Latino's, whites, American Indians, ect, ect.? Why should he spend extra time working on getting blacks to get off their a*s and work.

Isn't that the parents job?

We are at the best unemployment rate in 20 years. Employers are crying for workers.

Gays want their rights but they don't want Christians to have theirs.




one reason Some people may not like Trump is he is 'blunt', or they view as disrespectful, divisive, or rude. Its all about perception.

there are a plethora of other reasons people may not like Trump as well. AS mentioned before the Black rate has nothing to do with Trump.

Blacks historically DO NOT have the same opportunities as the consistent unemployment discrepancy highlights, regardless of rates of college graduation or imprisonment, the discrepancy has not changed.


And the balancing act between Gay rights and Christian rights is something both sides feel they get the shorter end of ...


There is need in UNDERSERVED communities which have more CONCENTRATED poverty and fewer resources, for back to work programs, especially BECAUSE of the stereotype that they just would rather have 'freebies.'

Imagine if Trump compared his golf game to "special olympics" oh the press would have a field day saying Trump is a bigot towards Special olympics athletes....oh wait Trump didn't , Obama did... imagine my shock

Imagine if it was Trump that lifted sanctions on Iran? you would be calling for his head on a platter and calling for Congress to impeach him.

Imagine if Trump released dangerous Terrorists from Guantanamo bay?

Imagine if Trump appeared on ESPN to talk about his March Madness Picks?

Imagine if Trump called young black youths "super predators"

The left whined and shouted from the Mountain top, Trump's dad was present in some Klan rally even though Trump's old man was never a klansman, and the left said Trump didn't disavowed the klan, meanwhile

Has he embraced any former Klansman like Robert Byrd, oh what was Hillary.



Yeah double standards .

I think everyone making simplistic observations blaming exclusively the 'left' while praising the 'right' or blaming exclusively the 'right' while praising the 'left' are fully and completely "duped"
