I bet that Trump and the GOP leaders have to laugh every time they say, "America First". What they do is nothing like putting America and its citizens first. The GOP puts two things first, the GOP and is power and then the wealthy who fund their party. Everything they do has those two aims, gaining power by what eve means they can and then giving tax cuts for the wealthy who will then fund the party candidates.
 
I thought the 'Contract With America' was the first big joke e.g. a bunch of elitist conservative men pitching 'local jobs' and 'marriage is man+woman' while outsourcing jobs to China and hoping not to get caught with their boy-toy.
 
Trump's policies returned over 300,000 manufacturing jobs to the USA in his first 30 months in office.
Obama lost manufacturing jobs in the last months of his term. That's because he was bought out by the globalists. "Those jobs are never coming back".
Sure they are, Barry. You sold out the American worker.
Trump didn't. America First.
 
The Trumpian brain is so easy to predict. They have about 4 or five fallacious arguments and they rarely deviate from them:
  • If it happened during Trump's term and it was a positive, it was a direct result of Trump and his policies;
  • If it happens during a democrat's term and is positive, it happened in spite of them, not because of them;
  • If it happened during Trump's term and was a negative, he bears no fault whatsoever;
  • If it happens during a democrat's term and is negative, it is directly their fault and no other factor played a role.
Rinse/repeat.
 
During Trump's term, the minority unemployment rates in the country were the lowest IN HISTORY.
"If you want things to stay the same, vote for her. If you want a job, vote for me." -Donald Trump, to group of minority voters.

Real progress, not more handouts.
 
Funny thing is is that they bought this load of shit from a guy who can’t get a payday loan in the US…

The few companies he still has operating in the us are all financed from shady overseas sources.

Not a thing he manufactures is made in the US.

He pays taxes in China but hasn’t paid a penny in America in well over a decade…

Yah he wants to put America first…

Yet the gap between white and black employment didn't narrow.

And now even during a pandemic we have the lowest unemployment rate since the 60s coincidentally we also had a democratic president at that time…

What pure nonsense. Whoever fed you this garbage was the one pulling jokes. This is all made up garbage to keep you little LW robots in line and obedient to your superiors.

Yup, its projection. The democrats actually stand for American people, all americans, even Republicans

1. Healthcare
2. Infrastructure
3 increase min wage
4. Environmental protections
5. Regulations to protect consumers adn employees from abuse
6. Etc.

Republicans never campaign on anything other than illegals, abortion, democrats are stupid poopyheads. And their base are as patriotic as ISIS is to their country

Coal is back, too!
 
As you can tell from what I’ve posted, Trump was able to actually fix problems. All Obama and Biden ever did was print money. That’s all they had. They were, and still are, clueless about how the economy actually works.

Trump terrified the Washington elites. So they made up lies in an attempt to make him go away.

That’s what the history books will say 50 years from now.

1. What you say is equally applicable to the Democrats.

2. IMO your response applies more to the GOP leadership than it does Trump.

Trump is old school baby boomer, born in 1946 and growing up in the era where the USA was the only remaining industrial power, Europe having been smashed by WWII.

That was a great time for American Industrial and wealth opportunity. Most Baby Boomers have a highly America First ideological upbringing.

Trump, like many of his generation, would love to see the USA "back on top," and to stay there.

So to assume it is all fake is IMO a misunderstanding of where he is coming from.

How he wants us to get "back there" and if it is worth it is what is at issue to current voting groups.

One more crazy rant? Why?

Except absolutely nothing they do show they are America first or putting America back on top. And the GOP has been doing this shit long before Trump, Trump just didn't try to mask it, he just openly spouted the reality of what the GOP supports. And they continue to fully support him or remain silent to his antics. Also, how is constant attacks on science, education, technology trying to put the US back on top? That's what made us thrive in the first place. What made us sink is the greed and the screwing of the entire country so the top few get all the money and the perks.

SEcondly, you say it equally applies to democrats, but provide absolutely no evidence or explanation why. My post above highlighted things democrats support that are things that actually help the country.

What have republicans done lately, on state and federal level? Ban abortion, make voting harder (how does that put America first) and other methods to destroy voting, target homosexuals and transgenders, attack companies that say things they don't like. how is that helping America? And worse than that, blocking things that would help americans (improved healthcare, infrastructure, green energy to get us off foreign oil dependence and being reliant on shady partners and questionable countries)

Or is your view of "America first' only for white, christian conservatives. Because that is all the GOP care about, meanwhile, Dems fight for things that will help the GOP voting base the most
 
“America First” is a Republican campaign canard…

You are predictable as well
  1. Project this.
  2. Project that.
  3. Blame Trump.

Apparently not as predictable as you think given that nothing in my post blamed Trump for anything.
When it comes to things like the economy as Slap Happy Grandpappy was talking about, I take a quite different approach. Presidents from both parties often get too much credit for a robust economy under their watch, and too much blame when it goes the other way during their presidency.
But apart from those key errors, you nailed it with your well thought out "I know you are but what about me?"

Ah, like most GOpers and Trumpers you forget the 80 straight months of job growth under Obama that lead to the growth under Trump. Tehn Trump runed it around and crashed the economy and now Biden has brought back the job growth. Trumpers have memories live sieves
 
July 2021 is the latest post on the Office of the 45th President DJ Trump

This site is more current. Seems the main point of the site is ask for donation and sell merchandise.

Definitely looking for money

and there are other sites.

Seem to me DJT just want the grift to continue.
 
Obama's job numbers were mostly service industry/Walmart jobs. They only list the number. Not the quality.
Trump's jobs were more actual living wage jobs.
America First.

Obama brought us out of the second largest economic collapse (republican caused as always) and handed trump a soaring economy that you and trump are still taking credit for.

Biden took over frumps recession and cluster duck of a mishandled pandemic and brought us the best economy in 50 years…

The only thing trump did was to get the fed to keep dropping the interest rates artificially inflating the economy, and sending is on our way To inflation…

Your exact words, "The Trumpian brain."

True. Trump deserves credit and Biden blame, but only some credit and some blame.

But apart from those key errors,
Those weren't errors. You should pay closer attention.

you nailed it with your well thought out "I know you are but what about me?"
Projecting again. I never cared for Pee Wee Herman.
