DS> What lies of the democrats? You are twisted. It is Trump who keeps
DS> telling lies. And then he goes on live television and commits another

GD> be connected to the previous Vice President Biden who now is
GD> running for President
GD> of the United States of America? Hunter Biden traveled
GD> there aboard Air Force 2
GD> many times with his father Joe Biden.
He can ask the FBI to investigate that as much as he wants, but when he
asks a foreign government to dig up dirt on a political opponent -- it
is a violation of federal campaign law, which is a felony.
GD> Was Trump lying when...
GD> he promised and delivered on the following...
That laundry list may or may not be the result of Trump -- but it is not
the issue being discussed. What is being discussed is his violation of
federal laws.
And, for the record -- I do not agree that all of the things you listed
are good for the country, nor do I accept some of the "poll" results you
might have pulled from a web site supporting Trump.
GD> Deregulation
GD> Achieved massive deregulation at a rapid pace, completing 22
GD> deregulatory actions to every one regulatory action during his first
GD> year in office. Signed legislation to roll back costly and harmful
GD> provisions of Dodd-Frank, providing relief to credit unions, and
GD> community and regional banks. Federal agencies achieved more than $8
GD> billion in lifetime net regulatory cost savings. Rolled back Obamas
GD> burdensome Waters of the U.S. rule. Used the Congressional Review Act
GD> to repeal regulations more times than in history.
Deregulation of banks is what lead to the 2008 recession.
GD> Tax Cuts
GD> Biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history by signing the Tax
GD> Cuts and Jobs act into law Provided more than $5.5 trillion in gross
GD> tax cuts, nearly 60 percent of which will go to families. Increased the
Perhaps 60% to families -- but only those making millions of dollars per
year. That tax cut added greatly to the federal deficit and did not
help the middle and lower class income people very much.
GD> exemption for the death tax to help save Family Farms & Small Business.
Death tax, i.e estate tax, only applies to estates worth millions of
dollars. Increasing the exemption did nothing for the average American,
only for the very wealthy.
GD> family. Lowered Americas corporate tax rate from the highest in the
GD> developed world to allow American businesses to compete and win. Small
Perhaps -- but the biggest corporations can still get away with paying
very little or even nothing. Tell me why that is a good thing?
GD> businesses can now deduct 20 percent of their business income. Cut
That was true for me a decade ago when I was an independent consultant.
GD> Cuts and Jobs Act. Ernst & Young found 89 percent of companies planned
GD> to increase worker compensation thanks to the Trump tax cuts.
Did that happen?
GD> Domestic Infrastructure
GD> Proposed infrastructure plan would utilize $200 billion in Federal
GD> funds to spur at least $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investment
The key word there is "proposed". How much has actually been
appropriated?
GD> across the country. Executive order expediting environmental reviews
GD> and approvals for high priority infrastructure projects. Federal
Short cutting of environmental review is not a good thing.
GD> Health Care
<<SNIP>>
GD> insurance to their employees. Cut Obamacares burdensome individual
GD> mandate penalty. Signed legislation repealing Obamacares Independent
GD> Payment Advisory Board, also known as the death panels. USDA invested
Trump has done anything he can to eliminate any thing that might be
associated with Obama -- no matter how much it hurts the people. He
tried to get passed legislation to eliminate much of the ACA. That
would have tossed millions of Americans off of their health coverage and
eliminated the ability to obtain coverage in spite of pre existing
conditions.
GD> Law and Order
GD> More U.S. Circuit Court judges confirmed in the first year in office
GD> than ever. Confirmed more than two dozen U. S. Circuit Court judges.
GD> Followed through on the promise to nominate judges to the Supreme Court
GD> who will adhere to the Constitution Nominated and confirmed Justice
GD> Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Signed an
The only reason he got to nominate Neil Gorsuch was because McConnell
refused to allow a qualified Obama nominee to be considered.
He then stacked the Subpreme Court with a sycnopath while ignoring
credible allegations against Kavanaugh without trying to investigate the
facts. More has come out since then. This is simply an indication of
the lack of vetting that the Trump administration has done in nominating
people for high positions in government.
GD> Border Security and Immigration
GD> Secured $1.6 billion for border wall construction in the March 2018
GD> omnibus bill. Construction of a 14-mile section of border wall began
No new border wall construction has been started, despite his claims
that it would all be done and that Mexico would pay for it.
GD> affiliated with MS-13 in 2017. Fighting to stop the scourge of illegal
GD> drugs at our border. ICE HSI seized more than 980,000 pounds of
GD> narcotics in FY 2017, including 2,370 pounds of fentanyl and 6,967
GD> pounds of heroin. ICE HSI dedicated nearly 630,000 investigative hours
Where were those drug seizures made? I would bet that it was not done
against anyone crossing the border at Rio Grande or other inbetween
places. I.e. building a wall would have been irrelevant to those
seizures.
GD> Trade
GD> Confronting Chinas unfair trade practices after years of Washington
GD> looking the other way. 25 percent tariff on $50 billion of goods
GD> imported from China and later imposed an additional 10% tariff on $200
GD> billion of Chinese goods. Conducted an investigation into Chinese
Who do you think pays for those tariffs? It is the American public.
GD> Partnership (TPP). Secured access to new markets for Americas farmers.
You mean after they were devestated as a result of the Chinese tariffs?
GD> to china for the first time in more than a decade OKd up to $12
GD> billion in aid for farmers affected by unfair trade retaliation.
Tell us again why he had to do that?
GD> Foreign Policy
GD> Moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Withdrew from Iran deal
GD> and immediately began the process of re-imposing sanctions that had
I.e. allowed Iran to reopen its development of nuclear weapons.
GD> sides have met resulting in tremendous progress. North Korea has
GD> halted nuclear and missile tests. Negotiated the return of the remains
They are still testing missiles.
GD> entities tied to Syrias chemical weapons program. Directed strikes in
GD> April 2017 against a Syrian airfield used in a chemical weapons attack
Strange that all of the Russian planes that had been there left before
the attack (which did minimal damage to the airfield).
GD> Sanctioned 100 targets in response to Russias occupation of Crimea and
GD> aggression in Eastern Ukraine. Enhanced support for Ukraines Armed
GD> Forces to help Ukraine better defend itself.
That occupation happened before Trump took office and it was the Obama
administration and other nations that imposed the sanctions, something
that Trump tried unsucessfully to undo. Plus, he withheld funds for
military support until Ukraine gave him a statement that they would
investigate Hunter Biden.
