President Donald Trump addresses the nation

[Brian37]

Trump didn't address the nation.

As much as I hated Bush Jr, he was incompetent, but as bad as he was, he had some hint of caring about even those who didn't kiss his ass. Trump was simply stroking his own ego daring dissenters to challenge him.

Trump ran on saving the middle class, but his cabinet is full of Wall Street goons.

I do want him impeached, every day he holds office regardless of a loss in 2020 is more damage to the country.

If he is impeached, Mr. Wacko Mike Pence will take his place and then simply pardon him.  Pence is an ID nut-job, a Christian fundamentalist through and through.  Unlike Trump, who is impotent politically (and, probably, sexually, also), Pence will get some of the right-wing agenda through Congress.

Very, very few people want to be on welfare.  I was out-of-work for over 5 years, after getting laid-off from a job of 17 years, largely due to the medical expenses that my self-insured company (a Fortune 50 company, by the way) did not want to pay for a disabled son of mine who is non-verbal and non-toilet trained at age 12.  We were on food stamps and heating assistance for a long time, and Obamacare saved the life of my wife and improved mine, not to mention getting my son and other kiddos the medical care that has improved their lives.  And, so, to Donald Trump, all I can say is, "Fuck You!"  You are a monster who swindled your way into the Presidency, and the only reason that I hope that you do not get impeached is so that you can lose in 2020.

Sorry to hear about your situation and your son. I'm glad there is government assistance, and it's truly needed. I'm all for it, especially for instances like yours. We don't want to get rid of government assistance programs, at least most Trump supporters I talk to agree with that. The point is to build the economy so those who are able to work but can't find a job, will be able to find a job, and get themselves off of welfare. The disabled should always receive assistance. I really don't think Trump wants to get rid of that, as much as the scare tactics and political pundits on the left are saying will happen.

In some areas, there are no jobs!  I was an out-of-work IT professional, and no one wanted to hire me, much less interview me, and I had no baggage whatsoever.  My present employer, finally, hired me 2 years ago, after some 15 attempts at getting a job here!  I think that they had no choice but to hire me, as they are a government contractor.  For years, I resented all of the foreign nationals (India, especially) who were in my town working a job that I, a native born American, would have loved to have had!!  Is Trump going to change any of that?  Maybe a little, by keeping more foreigners out of the country; however, as they are such a cheap source of labor, I think that Trump will know-tow to big business and simply allow them to come here and work at a reduced cost, which, by the way, as an American, I would have been very happy to have worked at "Indian wages"!

My boyfriend is always like, "You should just work anywhere, even if it's as a hotel maid."

In all honesty, he's is correct. There are jobs out there.

Is it the type of job we want to do?

Sometimes when it comes to making money, one must do what one must do.

Yeah, I delivered US Mail for awhile until I injured my foot and could no longer "carry mail"; worked a third-shift factory job before that, with no health care.  I was also a van driver, at minimum wage, as a subcontractor for Union Pacific; drove over 500 miles in a 16-hour stretch; ended-up failing asleep at the wheel while the van went a half-mile or so down the interstate in the middle of winter; very lucky to be alive, with 5 kids and all.  Was, after a while, finally able to find some IT jobs as an on-demand technician, and a few years after that, landed a full-time job back in IT.

Ah yeah Americans in the IT industry has been hit hard by the H1-B visa program to bring in temporary foreign workers. Silicon valley is fighting Trump hard to keep that in place, but he does want to make changes to it. I also work for a fortune 500 company, and we outsource to WIPRO and the IT area seems to always have new people there. Trump is attempting to curb the program, but like I said, Silicon valley is resisting any changes. It's a major reason they rejected his MAGA America first platform. 

Here's a few recent articles about Trumps plans to buy American, hire American.

Trump makes ill informed decisions.
Look at what he said about Qatar being bad little knowing they are the US's military spring board to the middle east. he didn't even bother to find out.
And that's just this week.
look at his record, every week its something awful for the US or the planet.
He is something to be endured not celebrated an over self important, conspiracy believing Dick is in charge of the USA and it is destroying US credibility the world over. He is having the relentless piss taken out of him by every country for his incompetence. World leaders openly mock him.
The Nordic countries leaders do a Trump did pic a week at the moment and Macron went out of his way to show contempt this list goes on.
He is the arseholes arsehole who at this stage should have no followers but the then no one ever got poor by undersestimating the intelligence of the American people so there will always be fools who support him.

You are as fucking stupid as he is.

Nothing constructive to add, only insults. Sorry but we are not as miserable as you, so try not to drag us down to your level of misery. Kind of reminds me of the DNC, nothing to add, only complaints.

He's right, you support a narcissistic asshole bully so sorry, if you want us to be polite to that nope, I see no reason to be. 

Would you like a year's review of all the demagoguery Trump aimed at multiple groups?

1. Mexicans
2.Muslims
3.Political rivals even his own primary rivials. Including implying physical harm. 
4. Military service of McCain and Khan
5. Treated 17 law agencies like they were idiots
6. Has a anti gay vice president.

We are not miserable, too bad you have no empathy or intellect yourself otherwise you'd accept Trump for the dangerous inept asshole he is.

Why should we feel bad about calling out a fucking dick, maybe you should be angry at him for shooting off his mouth.

Insults are all he deserve a and all the slack jawed brown nosers( like you) deserve . Get an actual president first .And then we can have something constructive to say . Because they will be something to talk about .Not the hot air and buffoonery  of this wannabe .
