The Trump Presidency

[Julio3000]

Now now thethe. This wasn't nice. You know how hard people have to work to ignore the popularity of Tim Scott, Herman Cain, Ben Carson, etc. when they talk about the racism of the GOP.

Straight up, off the top of your head w/no internet, how many black and Latino Republican officials can you name?

I'm more pleased than not with the Trump presidency, but I still wonder what a Cain presidency would have been like. He also wanted to simplify taxes and regulations to grow the economy. He was from a VERY humble background, has more small business knowledge, is slightly more personable, and wouldn't be thought of as a racist.

Dr. Carson is more of an unknown on the economy, but he did say the right things. He was probably the most intelligent presidential candidate of my lifetime. I had high hopes for both. I hope the GOP can do a better job of promoting minority candidates in the future, because I really think both of these guys had the potential to be great at the job.

Not only that. We need to send a new message to the minority communities of this country. Empowering them to realize their potential instead of programming that the system is out to get them will do wonders.

Thats what happens after decades of propoganda and freebies.

Not many. Certainly not enough. But there aren't exactly many running for office as Republicans either.

Its not Americas obligation to house the world. It was a temporary status and now they have a country to go back to. We should be working to improve the world and not takt he worlds population on.

I know you want the votes for those kids.

But those Hispanic Americans that will now get a better opportunity to have a more prosperous life will benefit from these changes. They may not realize it unfortunately but they will benefit. We have no obligation to citizens of other countries.

It’s got to be Nikki Haley in 2020. The gop will run a minority woman and the left will still call them a bunch of sexist and racist.

First off, I admire your silence on the topic of brown skinned immigrants. I know this has been bugging you and how hard it must have been to stay silent for so long.
now that you have gotten that off of your chest,

why would any person of color want to be a Republican ?
and please don't tell me what "they " do and don't realize

I’d be willing to be that if you took the top 10% of minorities that got their money through education and working their way up the corporate ladder, the majority of them would be republicans. they’re smart and they can see through all the democratic bull**** that holds blacks down.

Do we have a problem with 'brown' skinned illegal immigrants?

At a speech to farmers in Nashville, President Trump claimed

he had cut taxes by $5.5 trillion instead of the actual

$1.5 trillion amount

I once knew a man who it was said of "he'd tell a lie when the truth would serve him just as well "

Small-business confidence hit a record high in 2017, according to the National Federation of Independent Businesses.

By so many measures Trumps first year in office was one of the best ever by a President. We should all be thrilled about the direction our country is going in.

I loved that immigration meeting being public.
