The Donald is pushing this whole Panama thing because it fits his narrative of the big bad bullies taking advantage of the poor US. He invents problems that don't exist then beats his chest and says look at me, I saved the US from all those who have been treating her so unfairly. If he's really that concerned about China, he shouldn't have undone the ban on Tik-Tok.

The ones who voted for Donald Trump are the ones embracing all this negativity.
First they said they were voting for Trump because everything was too expensive,now,they're making excuses for everything getting ready to be more expensive IE tariffs,so I'm starting to think that it never was really about everything being too expensive but about them just wanting Trump to be president.

Polls indicted that one of the main reasons people voted for Trump was inflation and the economy. So the first thing he does is ignore this and do what will boost his ego, not the economy. He thinks he's the CEO of the US; but he's not a CEO and the US isn't a corporation. Different skills are necessary in a politician than in a CEO.

A skillful politician uses tact and diplomacy; he or she tries to build trust and goodwill. You don't go around threatening your allies and using bully tactics. That might work in the business world, but not in diplomacy. Sooner or later people get tired of being bullied and will go elsewhere to find allies.

They want a leader they can support where they can convince themselves they will never have to live off the land, be self-sustainable, and where a nanny government will always take care of them so they don't have to deal with their problems.

No... That's Democrats, not Republicans.

Mind you, the Republican party is just about as bad as Democrats, just in different ways. But if you're going to criticize them, at least use the right criticisms. Don't use the same flaws the other party has. Know your target.

Is he helping by stopping the EBT food assistance program here in America?
Basic consideration: EVERYTHING on the Internet is either TOTALLY PHONY, or partially PHONY. SO IT'S ANYBODY'S GUESS WHAT (if anything) is actually being stopped.

In decreasing order of factual accuracy:
Foreign media
National media
Social media
and worst of all, The Whitehouse press secretary

All my Republican relatives do not want to be more self-sustainable.

It is rather ironic, but I suppose there were some Romans who defended Nero even as Rome burned! :eek:
