Trump , wtf ?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Trump as a person may have no redeemable qualities, and quite a lot of reprehensible qualities(I don't know, but that is what the media tells me to think). And Trudeau may be the nicest guy you could ever meet(again, I don't know, never met him, but according to CBC, he certainly is), but the job of leader of the free world or any other country shouldn't be a popularity contest. It should be about choosing the most qualified candidate, and the issues they represent. In the most recent elections, we got that drastically wrong(Trudeau isn't qualified to run a lemonaid stand, and has never had to manage anything before being put in this position of authority, but at least he has great hair), and surprisingly to nearly everyone, the Americans choose the only qualified candidate of the choices presented, and so far, they don't have buyers remorse. Going bankrupt is actually great experience for being in government, all governments are effectively bankrupt in perpetuity.

Actually, he does have at least one redeeming quality, anyone who can make liberals this upset this often can't be all bad.

Trump likely doesn't deserve any credit for their economy doing better than expected, after all, government can't improve the economy, they can either do nothing at let it function as best as it can, or make it worse, and in his case, he at least didn't do much to make it worse, as opposed to Trudeau, who has done as much as possible to make it worse.

Well said AF5

[sawfly1]

furrow , your a smart guy, what is the trump attraction,
what exactly has trump done ?

I must be missing something, like what. ?

specific thing . he has actually done .

other than being a ignorant bully .
on everything .

and Nafta they will sign up, in the end ,
brain dead if he did not ,

no way American business is going to let that idiot
screw up nafta.
Trump is nothing but BS


and I am not a fan of trudeau either.
but being a little greener will not kill us ,

and the cost of land has more to do with us as farmers.
and the hole we dug ourselves ,

your nemesis trudeau seems to be moving ahead on pipelines.
that is something. I will take it .

maybe sunny ways , gets pipelines built.

Can not believe people are still cheering on this Jerry Springer episode..Even Republicans have been talking about who will replace him.

Travel in Hawaii and southern US, not too much complaining about Trump, only on CBC and Canadian leftist press. And who the "h" cares what they think! If that wall gets built at least across Texas border, not too many Americans will complain.

Before Don Jr. bags the last one, ask an elephant what is thought of Trump.

Really Sumdum? Lots of Republicans don't even like Trump and admit he is not really fit for the job. Depending on the poll his approval rating is really pretty low considering it is less than a year since he took office.

Now you may think it is all a leftist conspiracy but even on Agriville lots of posts are less than complementary.

In any case as the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

As far as the wall it will never be built or finished. Too expensive and wont really be effective anyway.

Dont you find it odd that Trump has adopted a protectionist approach on trade? Republicans were always in favour of free trade and it is the left who are against free trade and globalization.

Where do Conservatives in Canada stand on trade agreements and free trade? I thought that it is essential to have free trade in a market based system to get efficiency in the marketplace?

Canadian agriculture is dependent on trade and any duties or tariffs on our exports to the USA will hurt Canadian farmers.

I think the protectionist stance is more about the popularity contest, it is what Americans voters want to hear, and a big part of how he got elected. He is a business man and surely he understands that protectionism is disasterous, inspite of what might be said in public. I'll be willing to bet that he is still talking tough about protectionism and killing Nafta by the time the next election rolls around, but nothing substantial is done in the meantime. So long as the economy keeps improving, voters will assume that his protectionism is the cause, regardless of complete lack of action. It's all politics.

It also seems to be politics to support sexual miscreants. Today Trump defended hillbilly pedophile Roy Moore saying, "He said he didn't do it, so . . .". Pathetic. He implied it was better to have a sexual predator vs a liberal.

Nice to see some sensible comments amongst all the nonsense praising Trump. This man is a threat to planet and everyone on it. Why the AMA hasn't stepped in and said the man is clinically mentally impaired in beyond me. It took years for them to finally accept Reagan was suffering from early onset dementia when the majority of sensible people knew this long before it came out. His testimony during the Iran Contra hearings should have been enough for the country to say the man has lost it, he doesn't know what he had for breakfast for Christ's sakes. I give those trying to discuss NAFTA with them the highest marks for having the patience to sit across from what are obviously morons.

[blackpowder]

Trump appears to be manipulating other countries and voters the same way he did in business. Studying his history makes him predictable. A-hole loose cannon ya. Insane no. And ya its funny to watch people like "Magura" squirm. Problem is i'm afraid shortlived and his kind will get last laugh.
