Unemployment has been low for over two years now. President Joe Biden has created a whopping 15.3 million jobs. In contrast, Trump left office in disgrace with a negative job number. Negative. Trump was asked at the courthouse what he would do to create jobs; then he went off topic to talk about the border, among other things, none of which are job-related.
"What's my plan for jobs, you say?" Trump asked. "My plan for jobs is to drill baby drill, to bring energy down, to close up the border, to get rid of all the criminals that are being allowed into our country. You know, our country is being inundated with criminals from all over the world."
"The jail populations from all over the world are way down because they're driving them into America," the former President, who is out on bail, falsely said. "They're dropping them off in the good old U.S.A., and they're taking them out of mental institutions, and they're taking them out of jails from all over the world, not just South America. And all of this, all of this is greatly affecting our country, and very negatively," he insisted. "No, we're going to make America great again. Thank you very much."
Nothing he mentioned will create jobs. He's a doddering old fool, and as far as policy, Aaron Rupar writes, "many of his statements on core policy issues are so garbled and gassy they don't even qualify as lies. It's like interacting with a chatbot programmed by a fascist parrot."

(66 posts)I don't pay much attention to what he says anymore. It's the same o', same o'. It's the people surrounding him as he spews word salads. I swear the fellow on his left was trying desperately not to laugh & then there was a creasing of his brows like he's trying to figure out what he's saying. That's where I get my entertainment now.

(2,714 posts)They love it when he says nothing or simply repeats old, tired half-truths. That's "Leadership" to them. Leadership at its finest. Because they are a) hard core fascists and/or b) dumber than stumps.
(I thank you, btw, for the proper rendering of "same o', same o', the full expression frequently abbreviated to "same, same" , which was Vietnamese/US pidgin having nothing to do with the concept of "old". )
(A G.I. sampling 2 types of ganja and asked which was better might say, with a shrug of the shoulders "Same same." Same dude asked whether he'd like to spend time with a Betty or a Veronica, he might also shrug a bit and say "same-o, same-o," In both cases the meaning is "no preference"," no difference between them noted". Also, asked if he preferred being stationed in Phu Loi or Chu Lai, he might say "same same". In no case would he Wolf Blitzer the damned phrase to "same-old, same-old."

(10,419 posts)Were, in reality, cleaned up.
They don't add the ahhs, and when he repeats himself or mixes up the order of adjectives and adverbs. They add periods and commas when he doesn't pause or end a sentence.
The man just repeats the same talking points as if they are an answer to every problem.

(70,947 posts)No point in using facts such as under President Biden we are the worlds # 1 producer
of oil or that the people fleeing Central America are fleeing violence, gangs, drug wars,
hunger, sex trafficking, corruption, and climate change that is hurting food production
they are not prisoners sent by their government in order to invade America from the south.
However explaining facts to Trump and or his mouth breathers is like trying to explain calculus
to a dog.
Btw D. V. S. P. Is looking like death on a stick right now. Look @ the 2 bags of un recirculated
under his eyes.

(3,088 posts)Unfortunately, even if the front line folks do actually begin to take notice of his obvious decline, their corporate masters won't let it be talked about. After all, we proles need to be kept focused on Biden's age.
THIS, however, will be a money line that I will be using at the earliest possible opportunity. Absolutely perfect.

(32,326 posts)are taking American jobs away from his white Christian supporters. He thinks we are paying them welfare benefits from our taxes.
This is what he is hammering over & over and his supporters believe it because it feeds into their preconceived notions and racism.
It's a very angry way to look at our country of immigrants and is based on a lot of mistruths. Sure people come to the US to try to escape violence and lack of opportunity in other places. But they also take jobs others don't want to do. I heard my small town friends complaining (as we were coming out of the pandemic) "no one wants to work" because there were so many openings. Of course people want to work. But we do have some issues with companies overpaying executives, underpaying line workers, etc.
The country is in a bad place right now with all the hate. Not everyone is a white male Christian, nor wants to be. Donald is not the one to lead us - all he does is try to fan the flames of hate. Plus it really does look like he's developing dementia. His family is not taking good care of him - my sister and I would be looking at senior living facilities if our father were presenting as he has lately.

(2,311 posts)..but I think he's just ignorant and relies on his arrogance to cover up the ignorance. I can't remember ever hearing him say something that was astute or intellectually impressive.
He got lucky as president...the only crisis he had to deal with was the pandemic and he failed miserably in dealing with it.
The only thing he's really good at is ginning up the racists and xenophobes in the country.

That are hiring them.

Drill baby drill has never worked and has never been for this country!
