Comments by "" (@1987BillyBob) on "Obama drops final humiliation on Trump" video.

@ricardoconqueso Trump has never filed for bankruptcies. Of the 6 casinos they did become chapter 11 bankrupt, but that allows the businesses to still operate. As for being in debt, that is a great example on why talking about "wealth inequality" is flawed. A homeless person is technically wealthier than me as I have loans. Nothing wrong with that. As for paying no taxes, he addressed that in his debate against Clinton. Career politicians like Clinton, Biden and Obama have been in office for years, why didn't they change the tax code?

Ok, and now look at his presidency, it was awful. He was a terrible president.

@StaceyZ-bo6ww Obama said you can keep your plan if you want it. What happened? Millions lost their plan. And the economy was stagnant, at best, under Obama.

@jackiecelestin6987 under Obama the economy was not good, especially compared to Trump. Want to compare numbers? We can, according to FRED Gas prices were lower under Trump Homeownership rate grew under Trump were 12 years prior it was dropping, including dropping under Obama Labor participation rate was going up under Trump where it was falling under Obama According to the Atlanta Federal Reserve wage growth was higher under Trump compared to Obama. Under Obama the lower 1/4 of income earners saw a wage growth of around 2%, it was over 5% under Trump. So not only were people able to afford homes under Trump, lower income earners saw a higher wage growth. So the numbers are clear, the economy was much better under Trump. And how did Trump mismanage covid? Every step of the way you guys were ridiculing him. If he would have done a federal mask mandate and a federal lockdown you guys would have thrown down your masks and gathered in large crowds in the streets calling him a fascist. That is the reality. He did operation warp speed and democrats were saying they would not take the vaccine. Later they started mandating it.

Trump has never went bankrupt.

Because Trump was a great businessman. He had a lot of success.

To start, he never called it a hoax. Next, Trump did not mandate the vaccine. People are not against vaccine, they are against vaccine mandates.

@ricardoconqueso how did he botch the pandemic response? Really, what did you want him to do? No matter what he did you guys would have opposed him. He could have done a federal lockdown and a federal mask mandate and you guys would have thrown down your masks and gathered in large crowds calling him a fascist. He did all he could do. He did a travel ban from China and was called a racist. He introduced us to Fauci where Fauci ended up stabbing Trump in the back and decided to become a celebrity as opposed to being a scientist. He gave NY a navy ship to use as a temporary hospital where Cuomo ordered infected patients back in to nursing homes. Trump could not create a vaccine distribution plan because that was up to the states. You guys called Trump a fascist but during covid he did all he could do. He could have done federal overreach but he knew he could not as he did not have the authority. And when has Trump ever said vaccines cause autism? "Reminder, there was no vaccine mandate nationally. You could either get a negative COVID test OR get proof of vaccination." Biden pushed a vaccine mandate. Also, what you are saying is either take an experimental drug or do the hassle of taking constant tests. Well, I was smart enough to fake covid tests. I took one and then kept changing the date. "Now Trump wants to put RFK jr in charge of HHS, NIH, CDC, etc. " Good, those organizations are worthless. Even Walensky admitted the CDC got it wrong. The same "impending doom" lady. I am a scientist myself and I feel the CDC and NIH needs to go after their lies about covid .

Casinos go bankrupt more often than you think.

@HuntClubRdBarbie I have, but I did live in Reno for years. Also, read Northern Provincial Council article titled "Casinos that went bankrupt - the dark side of gambling industry" It happens often.

@gigiwoe not a hater, telling the truth. I felt Obama had potential, he had no experience before becoming president and when he was challenged he became angry. That is why he was an awful president.

@debralugo6014 10 worst presidents based by who? If you go off of pure results Trump is top 10 of all time. Strong economy and a more peaceful world. That is the reality. Anyone who thinks he is one of the 10 worst is either dumb or bias, or both.
1
@debralugo6014 also, google what? Ben Shapiro did his presidential ranking list and had Trump as a B president and said Trump is not one of the worst. So who should I trust?
1
@NanDee-jr4dq Trump had a lot of experience. He has been in the position of leadership and in a position working with others. Obama didn't and hit showed.
1
@gilbertmontage4835 so listen to delusional celebrities? What crimes has Trump committed? Trump has done a lot for the black community. In 1999 Jesse Jackson praised Trump for what he has done for the black community. In 1989 a black woman in NY was mugged and thrown off of a multistory building. She lived. Trump paid for her medical bills and visited her in the hospital. Trump has done a lot for the black community.

@majorbruster5916 Trump had a lot of success managing companies. What companies have Obama managed? None. What evidence exist that Trump did not pay his contractors? As for the bankruptcies, they were Chapter 11 so the companies can still operate and pay the workers. That was Trump knowing and understanding bankruptcy laws. It is common for someone in Trump's position to have a business go bankrupt. Warren Buffet had a lot of businesses go bankrupt under him. With success comes failures. Obama has had zero success. As for public office and legislation, Trump understands law. And where is it written that every president needs to read the Constitution. Trump followed the Constitution where Biden and Obama did not. And Trump knew how big government is. Obama had no experience. A one term senator and an adjunct night professor is not experience. Obama had no leadership skills and hit showed. He never been through the challenges of working with different people to get things done. The last good democrat president was Clinton, he had experience as governor. During the 2020 democrat debate Hickenlooper, another governor, was critical of Bernie, Warren and Harris and their extreme socialist policies saying, correct, that they had no experience of being in a position of leadership and management. That they wanted to throw a plan out there and have everyone else pick up the pieces. Obama had no experience. Right away with Obamacare he was meant with pushback from his own party and he could not handle it. All he did was blame. He did not know how to work with people and he was pretty much shocked that people will disagree with him and pushback if they disagree on something. Trump was able to get his tax reform passed. He was able to get the Abraham Accord through. Seriously, what did Obama accomplish? He had 60 democrat senators and all we got was a garbage healthcare bill. It is because Obama has never been in a position of management and it showed. " Especially casinos. No one in the casino business could believe that ANYBODY could fail in the casino business- but he did! " Actually casinos go bankrupt often. Not to be rude but you need to get basic facts correct. Read the Northern Provincial Council article titled "Casinos that went bankrupt - the dark side of gambling industry" They list 45 casinos that went bankrupt, all pretty recent. "He ran up the national debt by trillions of dollars," If you look at Trump's deficit as percent of GDP it was under 5%. Under Obama's first 3 years it was over 5% and would have kept going if republicans did not overtake the house and slow down spending. Trump's debt was much lower than Obama when you adjust for GDP. " took bribes from foreign governments, and left a huge mess in Afghanistan that Biden tried to clear up" Where is the evidence that he took brides? Also, Biden messed up Afghanistan. "You're only saying that Obama was a bad president because that's what the Orange Jesus tells you to say" No, because I lived through the Obama years. He was an awful president. I really couldn't care less about what Trump says. You say Trump is because because your gods, the liberal elites, tell you to. The same elites that accomplish nothing but complain about problems.
1
@majorbruster5916 answer this, why didn't Obama pass The Freedom of Choice Act to make abortion legal federally? Why didn't he raise taxes on the rich? Why didn't he make gay marriage legal federally? I will tell you why, and this is why the liberal elites hate Trump. It is because Obama, Harris, Biden, etc. never solve problems. They will say problems exist and complain, such as Roe being overturn, or the rich not paying their fair share, etc. But why didn't they pass any of that federally? Look at gay marriage. It was a big deal until the supreme court made it legal federally. Now they don't talk about that. Now they talk about trans issue. The reason why the liberal elites hate Trump is because he was getting things done and was having success doing it. But go ahead, vote for Harris because "orange man bad" while she does nothing about abortion, taxes, etc.

@johnscaramis2515 Ben Shapiro has a law degree, a very successful business, has written many best selling books and has spoken in front of congress. He is very intelligent. That is my overall point, you say "historians" rank certain presidents when many historians disagree. But beyond that, what is their area of expertise? An historian who studied the Civil War would have little idea about the presidencies outside of the civil war along with the few leading up to it and the few afterwards. Will they have a legit opinion about Kennedy? Around 100 years after the Civil War? What you are doing is appeal to authority. Just because they are an "expert" doesn't mean they know everything nor doesn't mean they can't be bias or wrong. Covid should have taught you that based on how wrong the so called "experts" the media pushed in front of us got it wrong.
1
@johnscaramis2515 also, a lot of these rankings have William Henry Harrison ranked. How do you rank him? To add, when Shapiro did he tier ranking list the guy that runs Vlogging Through History agreed with Shapiro on his analysis on Trump. So there is another historian that supported that Trump was not a bad president.
1
@adifferentusername999 uh, the ol' "not that expert" argument. This is a point I make a lot, experts disagree. That is why on these so called rankings I would like to know their criteria, their reasoning, their area of expertise as well. I am a scientist in physical chemistry. During covid I disagreed with Fauci and the CDC and felt their ideas were wrong. Now you may say I am not a medical expert, which is true. But at that time I read the papers, I read the data, I also argued the point on why not have experts in child psychology giving their opinion and so on. My point is this, you will look at a ranking by a so called "expert" and agree with it on face value if it goes with your already pre-set bias. You see, I don't. The guy who runs Vlogging Through History agreed with Shapiro's analysis of Trump. However, that same guy also refuses to rank recent presidents as what another historian told me, learning history teaches you to be humble and not overreact. Many presidents were ranked poorly early on but later were ranked higher. Recently Carter is one as many said, he was a great man, not a good president. However, him putting Volcker as chair of the Fed did cost him a 2nd term, but in the long run made our nation better. You see, that is being intelligence, looking deeper as opposed to going off of face value what some bias "expert" says.
1
@adifferentusername999 also, I trusted Ben as he went into details on his ranking giving reasoning as opposed to "just because". And he was honest. On policy Trump is easily top 10. His rhetoric is one thing that hurt him.
1
@johnscaramis2515 that is not appeal to authority. Appeal to authority means you listen to someone without question. I laid out his credentials showing he has intelligence and from there one should consider taking his opinion seriously. You saying "Or maybe he is intelligent. But knows exactly how he words his BS into intelligent sounding words. " Supports my case. Look at Obama. He speaks very well and has credentials, he was a terrible president due to lack of leadership experience. One person I site as an individual who is great in their field but ignorant outside of it, but people take what he says as gospel due to how well he talks and write is Noam Chomsky. Due to his field he speaks and writes very well. Now look past how he presents his argument and look at what he is actually saying. He is ignorant outside of it. This also relates to on the historians, what did the study? History is a wide field. Someone who is a historian but study ancient Egypt in becoming might not have a strong knowledge about presidents of the US. Just saying. Like me, I have a PhD in physical chemistry. Do you think I would be an expert in a lot of biological concepts? No. I can read up on them and follow them, but I will be the first to admit I am not an expert. And that is my point, you blindly follow an "expert" because they have the same opinion as you but then dismiss another intelligent individual who has a living talking about political figures and history of politics simply because you disagree with them, no other reasons. I gave you a reason why I dismiss a lot of presidential rankings. Any ranking that has William Henry Harrison ranks as opposed to listing him as incomplete is a terrible ranking. How do you rank a guy who was president for 30 days?
1
@johnscaramis2515 no I get into details as these are complex issues. That is why I just don't blindly follow an "expert" that happens to agree with me.
1
@ballooneyjr4294 to start, the fact you think you can speak to cows is disturbing. Next, does Shapiro have a right wing bias? Yes he does. I don't agree with everything he says. He did not vote for Trump in 2016, neither did I. He did later and for some of the reasons he are reasons why I supported Trump as well. I disagree with Trump to some degree on his rhetoric as I feel a lot of it was overblown by the media. So I don't agree with everything there. You see, I am not a part of a cult like you are. I ended up supporting Trump after he proved me wrong and showed he was a great president. That is different than you guys who denied Biden's mental decline for months until it could no longer be hidden and he was replaced, with no votes, by Harris and you guys jumped on that ship without question. To you, you will believe anyone who says "Trump bad" without question. That is why you support Liz Cheney who clearly loves more wars.

Look FRED stat " Average Price: Gasoline, Unleaded Regular (Cost per Gallon/3.785 Liters) in U.S. City Average". Gas prices were higher under Obama.
1
Trump never filed for bankruptcy, so get that fact straight. Next, he turned that $400 million to billions. What has Obama done? We had a Trump presidency and the economy was great under him.
1
@ricardoconqueso Obama's economy was stagnant at best. Under Trump we had low inflation, higher wage growth (especially for the lower income earners), increase in homeownership rate, increase in labor participation rate. The numbers are clear, the economy was much better under Trump than it was under Obama.
1
He did show concern and compassion at the beginning. The issue is that the democrats kept pushing covid beyond the "2 weeks to flatten the curve" while violating their own covid guidelines. Trump saw how political it became and saw that the lockdowns were causing more damage. Heck, even something as stupid as wearing a mask he pushed back. When he was not wearing one he correctly stated that everyone in the room was tested, and no one was following social distancing guidelines while off camera in the press room.
1
Gas prices were cheap prior to covid. Look up FRED stat " Average Price: Gasoline, Unleaded Regular (Cost per Gallon/3.785 Liters) in U.S. City Average". Gas prices were low under Trump and higher under Obama and Biden regardless of covid. The fact is that the economy was much better under Trump than it was Biden and Obama. People hated Trump's rhetoric and the democrats are so evil they are willing to destroy the nation to gain power, which they did in 2020. They won in 2020 because they psychologically beat people to submission. We will see what happens this time with Harris.

Trump has never declared bankruptcy.

What is there to listen to? What has Obama done for you guys? He had the ability to do a lot with 60 senators on his side and the House in his first two years. All he did was pass a garbage healthcare bill that gave more money to insurance companies.
1
Remember when Obama codified Roe as federal law like he said he would? Remember when Obama raised taxes on the rich to get the rich to pay their 'fair share"? Why do people on the left keep supporting these politicians that do nothing for them?
1
@ricardoconqueso Obama had congress on his side during his first two years. That included a supermajority in the Senate.
1
@zigarten you can't say republicans blocked Obama when he had congress on his side, including a supermajority in the Senate.
1
You mean the corrupt elites supporting Harris.
1
It happens more often than you think.
1
You really couldn't compare as every nation reported deaths differently.
1
@yespleasehjh Trump never said to inject bleach. However, you guys felt that masks and shutting down schools worked. And then you supporting taking away people's jobs to take a new "vaccine".
1
He can't talk about Harris's record.
1
From the beginning Trump introduced us to Fauci only for Fauci to stab Trump in the back and used covid to become a celebrity while lying about covid. You can't blame Trump for Fauci and the CDC lying to the people.
1
Cuomo used covid to become a celebrity. His daily briefings were a waste of time. It also created more fear than needed.

We had 4 years of Trump and the economy was great under him.
