I don't know how you can split up a family eating together. Adults have to choose the food, and that should be their choice as the adult what type of foods to buy. I do not want to be taken away either. Even those who are struggling should not have to split up how they eat with each other or have others choose what they eat.

I much rather prefer it as it is.
Ideally a family would have a family meal at least most evenings. This requires someone obtain the food and prepare it. If this were happening then there would be no need for the school system to try and feed children their evening meal or provide food pacs for the weekend. How would you hold an adult responsible for feeding their family?? Personally, I do not care what happens to the parent(s), only what happens to the children. A child deserves a safe roof over their head and adequate nourishment while their parents deserve nothing!!!!

I'm glad you don't live here either watch and see what a real president does. lowest unemployment rate in the past 60 years lowest black Hispanic and Asian unemployment in the history of this country all due to Trump's policies. all those things you think of trump are just talking points in regurgitation of what you hear in the mainstream media. He's not a racist because the black support for Trump has skyrocketed to 34%. he's not a racist oh, why? Because he wants to secure the southern border Ben stop the freeloaders, drug smugglers, human traffickers, oh and not to mention the report that was put out by Homeland Security that we have terrorist cells in this country gee I wonder why SMH! Maybe because past presidential candidates have made promises to secure our Southern border but never did anything about it. Trump has said nothing different than any other person that has resided in the White House but because he actually followed through and did what he promised to do he's a racist? Please...

the unemployment rate when Trump came to office was 4.9 ALREADY, it has come down to 3.6 four years later, a CONTINUED drop of 1.3 percent in Trumps first four. It had ALREADY BEEN dropping a total of 5 percent in OBama's 8 years. So Trump did nothing so extraordinary where unemployment is concerned.

Black people can support racists, just like women can support sexists. That is not really evidence of anything.

It is not clear that someone is racist because they do not want drugs coming over the border, but it is a bit more clear they are a bigot when they say things like "I assume SOME mexicans are decent people." or 'They don't look like Indians to me" or when they are sued by the government for housing discrimination against BLACKS.


Trump says plenty of things different. Carrying through on racist promises is still racist.

trump is a nationalist at a time most politicians are globalists so they dont like him,also he's a Christian so atheists dont like him,that's it pretty much and he's not a professional politician so he doesn't sugar coat everything to the point you wonder what he means.

I don't believe it is that simple. Nationalist? No evidence of it in his lifetime, five deferments and no civil or public service. Globalist? A more accurate description since his wealth is from all over the Globe. Christian? I am a Christian, and he does NOT carry himself in a way that is particularly or specifically "Christian". Not being a politician is not a plus. He has admitted openly that he makes stuff up and just says stuff, and I have heard him speak, so wondering what he means still applies to him too.

I think people who like Trump like him because whatever he espouses mirrors their own values and priorities, just like when people choose any other politicians. I also think that the rate of inclusion of other groups into a mainstream that was more exclusive in previous years makes people feel threatened about their status in this country, and he makes them feel assured that he is gonna protect their status above others instead of being open to the inclusiveness that has been happening.

"I think people who like Trump like him because whatever he espouses mirrors their own values and priorities,". To some extent this is true. There are major differences in management between business leaders and bureaucratic leaders. In business when a decision is made, the staff will implement that decision or risk their job; in government, not so much. Bureaucrats are more intent on protecting their turf than in business and can get away with it more. In business, empathy is not a strong requirement other than for some of your employees; not so much for the customers. From government, many of the public want tea & sympathy for their situation in life.

I will agree that Trump is not the best suited to manage the complexities of government because he is not adept at dealing with or realizing the mismanagement and indifference of the bureaucracy. A perfect example was the debacle of the CDC and their corona virus testing. They were not able to create a test quickly and in the needed quantities. At the same time they established rules so other competent public and private labs could not create their own version of the tests and use them. People blame Trump and the administration for that when in reality the administration did not know of the impending failures until after they had happened and governors started blaming them. When they finally realized the consequences, they started cutting through the bureaucratic red tape to get the job done. Personally, I suspect their are several people at the CDC and possibly the HHS that should be instantly fired!

I have mixed thoughts on the Trump presidency, but one thing is now crystal clear, he is ill equipped to deal with the ongoing crisis.
He is excellent at handling crises of his own creation involving human adversaries he knew how to confront. Nothing in his background in business, entertainment or multiple marriages prepared him for the coronavirus pandemic now threatening America’s health and wealth.

In hindsight, I suspect we will see a major shift in how the pandemic was handled after he created the task force and placed Pence as the leader. The difference in just the last week is amazing!

Sounds to me like you A. Probably didn't like him before he was president. B. You've let yourself morph into tunnel vision sheep that our media depends on for ratings. And C. If you took the time to objectively look at the whole picture of where this country was on his first day in office in regards to the economy, employment, and the creation off new jobs, you might lose a bit of your misguided vehemence!

Oh, I think data is objective.


As far as unemployment, on the first day he was in office was 4.8. Four years later, it was 3.6, a decline of 1.4 in four years. Under Obama, it was 7.6 the first day, peaked at 10.2 by the beginning of his first budget (fiscal year) in October of 2009. From 10.9 to 4.8, that is a drop of 6.1 in 86 months. Comparing that to Trumps first FY, when it stood at 4.1 percent, to 3.6 it was in January, that is only one half of a percent in 27 months. Trump did nothing too extraordinary in that area.

This chart clearly shows Trump has not done anything unusual in the economy either.


I think Trumps' truthful hyperbole has many of his followers repeating his praises of being something spectacular, when considering what was already happening when he took the reigns, he is not.

And listening to the words from his own mouth, taking into account all the lawsuits and bankruptcies, he is also a con man and a bully and a perv.

Unemployment statistical percentages are misleading. When you have a 10% rate, many of those unemployed are recently unemployed and have skills employers need. Then it is just necessary to see a little improvement in demand before hiring will occur. When you get down to the bottom of the unemployed barrel, there has to be a very high demand for that new employee and the training necessary to make them productive. It is as simple as looking at someone with 5 years of applicable experience vs someone with no experience.

As for measurement of the economy it very much depends on what measures you use to make a judgement of improvement. There will always be some more positive or negative than others. It matters very much on what you personally define as the "economy".

unemployment being low means very little when wages are so low and healthcare isn't provided. congratulations, you've got a **** ton of people who can't pay rent. probably working two 39.5 hour jobs so that they can afford the bare minimum health insurance that one job won't provide 'cause their boss won't let 'em have 40 hours.

the stock market being high means absolutely nothing. do you even own capital? tell me about your factory. tell me about your restaurant. do you even own your house? are you still making car payments? why would you support capitalism in any form? pretty much the only socialist programs we have these days are corporate bailouts

but I will tell you straight up, don't argue with old white people. most of them drank the Kool-Aid loooong ago, especially the men. their brains simply don't accept new information. they were alive at a time when you could work a minimum wage job and still pay for university, a car, and your own place. try doing that now, especially in a city where gentrification quadrupled rent prices and drove out the natives.

the only way one can believe this is if you are someone who has little to no idea how to verify legitimate sources, and believes a mass coordinated disinformation campaign, yet has so much pride they refuse to believe they could have possibly been fooled by propaganda

probably the only good president we've ever had was Jimmy Carter, and he was just good, not great
