  1. It's going to be a really long next 5 years for Democrats who put their trust in incompetent leaders like Pelosi, Shiff, AOC, et al. And it's going to be an even longer 5 years for the CNN anti-Trump cult and those afflicted with serious cases of TDS. Trump is doing an excellent job. The country is doing great domestically and globally. A second term is looking more likely than ever. It's best Dems and the aforementioned groups just accept these salient facts and enjoy the next 5 years.

  2. Valerie J. Norse...He’s kept his promises and put America first. His historic tax reforms, massive deregulation, and corporate investment incentives lit a rocket under the economy and job growth. For example, the average middle class income level has grown at the highest rate in history. And he’s overturned countless Obama era policies...those same policies that led to the worst recovery from recession in history, $10 Trillion in new debt, and higher taxes on the middle class. If you wonder why the Democrats got slaughtered in the 2014 midterms and eventually lost to Trump’s electoral landslide in 2016, look no further than Obama’s brutal economy. And Trumps list of foreign policy successes is massive, particularly getting other NATO countries to stop taking advantage of us. He’s also tightened our border and dealt with illegals, forced Mexico to work on their border and migrant issues, helped veterans and the military, and won two new Trade deals that will add even more jobs and $billions to the country. All these reasons, and many more, are why Trump’s done an excellent job. And it’s why his rallies have thousands more than any other candidate and his campaign donations FAR exceed everyone else. He’s looking excellent for a second term, which is great for the country.

  3.  @ValerieJNorse ..Good points. And kudos for your ability to have an adult conversation. It's very rare in a CNN comment section, particularly for a Trump supporter like me. You're right on the depth of the recession. But unfortunately, Obama's approach was flawed. He did the typical Democrat thing, which was use debt and add more taxes. Not only did that hurt consumer confidence, his increased capital gains taxes and ignorance on the importance of corporate investment on the economy led to (again) the worst recovery in history. Regarding corporate investment, Trump's lowering of the tax rate to compete with other countries (particularly Canada and Mexico) will likely go down as the best economic legacy from his first term. It lit a rocket under investment and job growth. For example, early in Trump's term Apple announced a half $Trillion in new spending in America..and attributed it entirely to Trump. Regarding the new NAFTA, I encourage you to look at the details. Trump ensured we won the deal in major ways, especially for dairy farmers, car manufacturers and the price of prescription drugs. Lastly, all NATO countries made a commitment in 2014 (under Obama) to spend 2% of GDP on defense by 2024. As of 2018, only 5 or 6 countries (out of 29) were meeting this goal. And we've been exceeding it for decades. Trump put major pressure on other NATO countries to stop taking advantage of us and get their proverbial shit together, particularly Germany, France, Turkey and Canada (the UK has been meeting the target). Since Trump took office, NATO spending has gone up by many $Billions...and countries are accelerating their timelines to meet the 2024 goal.
