Yes, Trump screwed up the US Coronavirus response as far as controlling the virus. However, when it comes to how the US economy and equities markets recovered more than at least most other countries, Trump deserves credit. Trump had help, of course, but that aspect of the pandemic response got done.
Jobs ended up being preserved because of the stimulus packages, Fed easing, and business confidence in Trump’s well established business friendly attitude. Compared to Obama, where stimulus efforts had lukewarm results because businesses did not want to take on risk because of Obama’s unfriendly position towards business. You think Obama’s second-in-command Biden will instill general business confidence? Other than defense contractors and some technology companies, I’d say no. Back to jobs preserved: We are not talking just any jobs. We are talking jobs held by Democrats, by Republicans, by men, by women, by whites, by Blacks, by Latinos, by gays, and so on.
Trump’s leadership provides economic opportunities for most, which is the primary consideration for many of those who work.
It may be hard for you to fathom the unprecidented and epic perfomance of the Trump Administration in turning around a $20 trillion dollar economy from national shutdown to nearly full recovery in a matter of months. Usually it takes two years to climb out of a recession. The economic effect of the shutdown was far greater than a recession, in my opinion.
Evidence for the epic economic turnaround includes freight rates on the electronic load board of the trucking company I am contracted have doubled, with more urgent frieght going for as much as quadruple versus the shutdown lows. We went from 22,000 loads to over 60,000 loads displayed in a day, an all time record. Martitimes Dry Baltic Index is recovering significantly. The contract to spot price for trucking freight has narrowed, indicating remaining trucking capacity is being bid up. Transportation benefits from the flow of manufactured goods, implying manufacturing is recovering nicely. The housing market is holding up.
So our choice is an uninspiring Joe who has his own issues or Trump who is proven when it comes to delivering on the economy. Another issue going in Trump’s favor is the prospect of much needed investigations being completed against corrupt establishment policitians. Successful investigations will help balance the parties when it comes to corruption. However, until Trump starts talking about specifics when it comes to reforms, the DC Swamp remains safe. The lack of specific reform talk will cost Trump the possibility of gaining some Independent votes.
My choice for President is not cast in stone, however. I will place significant weight on debate performance. It is the competitive interaction of the candidates that shows best relative fitness for office. Which candidate thinks fastest on their feet under stress is a key consideration for me. Which candidate has the better command of the issues is another critical consideration. What are the other strengths and weaknesses of the candidates and what strengths are most important for our country at this point in time is a question I want answered.
Obviously, if Joe is a no-show at the debates, Trump wins by default, doesn’t he? Often, to take the champ’s crown, you have to knock him out. Not likely to happen with a couch in basement strategy, is it? What about the polls, you say? What people say and ultimately do have been different, as we saw in the last Presidential election. Who chooses to participate in polls are different to some degree, according to party, as well.
As it stands now, Trump’s relection is in America’s best interest.
If the Democrats do not succeed in their efforts to cheat in the elections in massive ways, they will lose the election. They know it. I hope the cheaters get caught. I will urge President Donald Trump to have quick reaction teams with lawyers to file suit against all manner of cheating. Only way to prevent massive cheating is make it very costly, for the culprits. Have them arrested, charged and locked up. Without any massive cheating, Republicans will win by a huge margin in the Senate and House. It will be a landslide of massive proportions.
You’re a trucker living with a Somali in a Covid hotbed apartment in Tx and also slinging around 1 lots of micro mini Futures with Trump as President.What were you doing during Obama’s last term?
Delivering on the economy? when something seems too good to believe, its because it is.
Help me everyone. I am agreeing with CNN. We know that is a serious warning sign.
Last night after the Trump speech, I heard all the fox crew - not trash Trump but take him down a notch- saying that he seemed flat, off, and not hard enough on Biden, etc. This was coming from Rove, Chris Wallace, and Juan Williams. A couple of those you would expect but not all.
I seriously did not see the same thing they saw. NOT AT ALL. I saw Trump staying on message, on script, acting Presidential, looking like he was disciplined, like it was a State of the Union Address. Now I read a CNN article and I see them shaking in their boots about Trump getting a "narrowing of the polls " after his presentation. They use words like "disciplined" and "State of the Union Address." Yeh. Where have I heard those words before? Oh, from me. Nevermind.
I am traditional kind of guy. Doesn't bother me a bit to see Trump behave himself a little while standing in front of the White House. NOT AT ALL. And if it pisses the lefties off too and makes them shake in their boots because he acted Presidential, well damn, that's some mighty fine frosting on the cake.
Trump figured out how to do the anti-basement convention even though his first couple venues pooped out, and even though he is/was more or less lost without his usual rallies. You got to give him credit. He figured it out. Yes, he commandeered and coopted the White House to do so and just gave the finger to everyone who objected, and gave the finger to everyone who wanted him to appear with a mask on and do a hostage video. But hey, how can you have fireworks in your basement? The truth of the matter is that it is not just about last night. Trump was out and about bigtime all week. And Sleepy Joe?
CNN's Jake Tapper: View from 'Planet Trump' could pay off vs. Biden in the polls
CNN anchor Jake Tapper predicted a "narrowing in the polls" Thursday night after what he described as a "disciplined" Republican Convention speech from President Trump.
"That is the Trump that White House officials and campaign officials wish they had all the time, one who is not sending tweets that upset people, one who is not making comments that upset people when he ad-libs," Tapper explained.
Tapper's colleague Dana Bash agreed, calling the term 'disciplined' a 'good word for it,' adding that what voters saw was "Teleprompter Trump" and comparing his speech to a State of the Union address.

The old analogy used with cancer a lot, a peach fuzzy and golden on one side (markets) but rotten on the other is all the comes to mind.
That and the way he described America as broken and divided etc.. But he is president? Also the Nato numbers a flat out lie I'm sure.
