Was it? I haven't noticed a damn difference. I don't think most people noticed any economic change
They probably don't even care. Trolling and then can go back to their safe Trumper space on gaf.
I feel he's kinda full of shit anyway..so he has done well economically..which probably had little to do with Trump. The guy has been a shit stain on the history books.
For you personally. What about all the kids and families that will never see each other again? What about an entire island of people he refused to help and let die?
As long as he gets his nice bahamas vacay, who cares about people losing their job from the shutdown?
Not good, but it's gotten better since the mid-terms. I hate Trump, but he's more or less incapacitated now, so I don't have to worry about a lot of the smaller stuff now. The worst part is how people make news out of almost everything he tweets. Here especially he always tweets something dumb and there's a thread on it. Not every dumb thing he says deserves attention and I wish people would stop posting his tweets here. If I wanted to read what he says, I know where to find it and every other news site is going to cover it
Are you kidding? Haven't you heard what an absolute boon the tax break was?
EDIT: /s, in case that wasn't obvious.
Yep. "fuck you I got mine" so trump is not too great or not too bad. Completely ignoring context of the damages he's already caused.
I don't support them, the thread was just to share an opinion how things are going. I can only share about me personally. Yes I know how backwards a lot of the current administration is, especially the Vice President IMO, and of course I want someone else in office, I want a good candidate for 2020 too. I don't care what party they are either, I just want someone good. I didn't vote for the president in 2016 and I don't intend to in 2020 either.
And again, I freely admit that I've been lucky. I know that not everyone has been as fortunate as me. I've checked my privilege in this situation, I know that some are hurting. I'm not saying fuck everyone else just because I'm doing well, I'm saying I'm lucky that things are going well for me right now, because that's what the thread is about, opinions on the situation. I can only share my own. Of course I don't want anyone to be in a bad place.

He lasted longer than I hoped at the beginning. Hope things don't get too much worse before it gets better.
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with his previous posting records etc, but where did he say he didn't care or "fuck you"? Genuinely asking, hey.
They're only thinking short term. Regardless of whether Trump was a boon to them financially, they're definitely going to be feeling the impending economic blowback
Most people are driving towards a curve on a cliffside. It feels exhilarating, who has time to slow down or pay attention to the signs in the road? They won't hit the brakes until the front tires clear the edge.
People would like to hope that someone who is non-binary would have empathy for all of the young trans and non-binary people affected by this with no way out, or the countless others who aren't even children/teenagers harmed by him.

From my perspective in another country he has done immeasurable harm to the global perception of the Presidency and by extension the USA. I never thought I'd see the day when it was normal for the President of the United States to communicate complete nonsense via badly spelled tweets on a regular basis.
The only surprise to me is that he has not gotten us into another war. The overall chaos was a given.
I'm not saying his presidency hasn't been horrendous - I just feared it would be far worse in the big picture. I feared some kind of major war and/or economic recession. There is obviously still time for those, though.
What about children in cages screaming for their mummies? What about kissing the arse of despots while distancing America from traditional allies? How about obviously selling the US out to Putin? That's all fine?
He's totally getting reelected. The only question is how long will he have in his second term before the Republicans ask him to step down?
Is this not obvious? You do realize Trump (and the GOP) literally try to make life worse for LGBTQ+ people?
It's great that you're doing well but to say this is due to Trump is a stretch. Like for example Democrats have been defending the ACA but Trump wants to kill it. Now if you are not under ACA and it's killed you'll probably have to pay less for your health care but millions wouldn't have it anymore. If anything what Trump is doing can be good for individuals, but not for the people.
For people without any ounce of empathy, the most generous way to describe Trump is like we were all flying an airplane and the pilot retired in the middle of the flight while leaving the plane on autopilot, and the passengers decided to elect a literal clown as the replacement pilot. The plane has chugged along on autopilot for a while but it's starting to need an actual, real new fucking pilot as shit is starting to break down. And that's absolutely the kindest light to shine on Trump.
For people with at least the smallest degree of empathy for others, Trump is an absolute disaster. Just counting the last 30 days, the government is shut down and millions of lives are made worse because of an incredibly stupid proposal for a wall to be built along the entire southern border. The only thing the wall would be effective at doing is wasting money while being a monument to ego and racism. This isn't even taking into account the ever-mounting proof of conspiracy between Team Trump and foreign government influence, and the unprecedented amount of lying coming from the President.
And saying "Trump hasn't been that bad" while he is calling critical press to be the "enemy of the people" is alone enough to make me lose a considerable amount of respect for that person.

If the shutdown goes on for awhile, both of those will happen, and more.
Your content, while obviously a bit, is more or less harmless if not a bit annoying in general. Not this though. This is very annoying and you know what you're doing. It isn't cute. It isn't funny. Your "quirkiness" isn't endearing, especially for this topic.
Everything about this administration is backwards. There is nothing redeeming about it. You getting a bit more money and a vacation (assuming this actually happened) is meaningless.
This is not going to be a civil war. Lets tone down the hyperbole.
