    Many of the issues you pointed out are valid but many are downtright stupid. But seriously, find a better copy and paste guy. You want to debate each of these on their own...start a thread. You'll learn something.


    3. Reversed a planned cut on mortgage insurance for many first-time homebuyers.

    This was added by Obama just days before he left office. This is helping curb the eventual real estate bubble that is going to happen.

    4. Froze federal hires.

    Good. The federal government is bloated.

    7. He canceled the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which would have promoted U.S. trade at the expense of China

    This is a bad deal on a string of bad deals. Good.

    8. He has made no effort at bipartisanship

    GTFO with this garbage. The left is vile currently and there is zero reason to try and zero opportunity for bipartisanship.

    9. He has attacked the FBI and the intelligence community

    Good. The intelligence community is corrupt. Comey is a buffoon. The fact that the intelligence community has been unchecked for the last 50 years is the souce of many problems.

    11. He has failed to condemn the alt-right

    The entire left has failed to condemn antifa and the far left. I despise the true far right but every liberal calling anyone who does not fall locksetp into what they think a Nazi or a Racist has dilluted the terms to the point where people don't GAF.

    12. Encouraged America’s intelligence chiefs to undermine the FBI’s Russia probe.

    Did he meet with someone in intelligence on the tarmack to talk about grandkids or something? I forgot how that story went. What happened there?

    13. Undermined international cooperation on climate change — and America’s credibility on the world stage — out of mindless spite.

    You're an idiot of you think this. The Paris deal had a scale of enforcement that shackled the US and forced other nations to do nothing. Educate yourself.

    18. His CIA pick, Mike Pompeo, has said he’d consider loosening limits on torture techniques like waterboarding

    Good. Besides, this is the intelligence community you have a hard on for right? LOL.

    19. Has taken a weirdly Nixonian line on executive privilege, using loopholes in the law to circumvent laws on conflicts of interest and nepotism

    Oh F Off. Obama leveraged executive privilege like no other. Obama set the precident and Trump is just working in the space that was created for him.

    20. Stripped sanctuary cities of federal grants, which is expected to cost them more than $2.27 billion which would otherwise have gone to support

    Good. F*ck sanctuary cities. We're a nation of laws and cities and states don't get to do whatever the hell they want.

    22. The Justice Department will be defending the Trump Administration on conflict of interest cases at tax payer’s expense


    Oh...so every other elected official pays their own leagal tab?

    23. Authorized a military strike in Yemen which killed at least 15 women and children, including the 8-year-old daughter of US citizen and terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki


    So no previous administration ever did a military strike that killed civilians? I guess they have hated us over there for the last 40 years because they don't like our music or something.


    25. Reneged on his campaign promise to negotiate drug prices

    Oh. So Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, et. al batted 1000% on their campaign promises?



    I have to jump into a meeting and gonna stop here.

    I'll pick just one for now. While many departments are bloated, many are not. The VA planned to hire 2000 much needed employees, for example

    Irrelevant question. Trump is what we got stuck with. The fact that his supporters refuse to acknowledge the lies, hypocrisy, corruption and damage he's doing is more terrifying than Trump himself
