Trump 2024

LMFAO!! Ok internet bragger. I do not care what you do or how much you may have. Do not care about any degrees you have at all. Men stand or fall based on their content and you are getting a failing grade based on your ignoramus viewpoints on basically everything you put on this board.

Trump did not fail but yes he got an A on this from me as he attempted to get it done and was barely unable to do so after a stab in the back from one of the elders of his own party. HELL YES!! A+

Trump was and still is outing the deep state and the uniparty more as the days go on. He has absolutely red pilled tens of millions.

You brought up education, not me.

Again, it's freaking laughable that you try to give Trump credit for FAILING! HE FAILED, HE LOST,AND HE DIDNT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING.

You keep blaming others who didn't vote with him. Part of being in politics is building a coalition and getting people to vote for your ideas. He lost because he was an asshole to MCcain and it but him in the ass. Don't be an ass to people.

The more you post the more embarrassing it is for you. The use of the term "red-pilling" makes you soud so dumb. Truly, get out, quit reading TGP.

I just return what I receive. You are the one being an ass mr preacherman. I do not remember the preachers in Williamston being d**ks. I will be cordial and respectful if you do the same.
 
I am sure this historical factual EO that Trump signed to enable interstate competition between healthcare companies totally flew over your head.

This was NOT a plan to replace Obamacare. People with pre-existing conditions would still have lost their coverage without the ability to replace it, unless they spent their life savings on a policy. This was also an EO that could be easily overturned.

No its called the free market and the free market started allowing pre existing conditions already based on the plan type. This EO could be overturned but it was a stopgap measure until congress could get its shit together and make it law. I know for a fact from relatives that what Trump did with that EO created more and better plans than what obamacare did. I have no idea if China Joe rescinded it...would not surprise me though if he did.
 
Do not get too giddy boys. Better bring your hard hat and your lunch pail if you want to derail the Trump Train.


Don’t be fooled, Trump ‘strong as ever,’ say top pollsters​

Opinion

You’ve seen the polls, in Secrets and elsewhere, touting the emergence of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and others challenging former President Donald Trump, the only Republican who has announced a bid for the 2024 GOP primary so far.
They come at a time when the former president is under fire in many corners but still standing and punching back.
GROUP DEMANDS FEC STOP BLOCKING ITS EFFORT TO 'DRAFT' RON DESANTIS
Now two of the nation’s leading Republican pollsters who have strong ties to Trump are explaining why he remains “as strong as ever” to take the nomination and beat President Joe Biden.
John and Jim McLaughlin, who run McLaughlin & Associates, recently released their poll that shows the former president ahead of DeSantis 48%-23%, just as popular as he was on Election Day last month, and leading Biden 48%-45%.
Here at Secrets, we write a lot about polls and have highlighted many about the DeSantis surge, especially after his blockbuster reelection last month. While it’s still over a year before the first caucus or primary, they all give a suggestion for how the candidates are doing among voters but shouldn’t be taken as the last word.

What’s different about the McLaughlin poll, John McLaughlin told us, is that it is tougher with the sample it uses. It tries to whittle down its sample to those most likely to vote instead of a bigger vat that may include some who’ve never voted.
McLaughlin tries to stay away from anti-Trump bias in many media polls. And finally, it replicates the Democrat-to-Republican percentage of more recent elections.
That sometimes creates differences in the results, he said.
“First you have to look at the quality of the poll and the source. Most published polls are from the liberal, anti-Trump media, and they do backflips to create biased surveys to suppress the Trump voters and donors. Many of the biased media polls are diluted with nonvoters and have samples of adults and do not reflect actual voters as likely voter polls do. They also bias the sample asking anti-Trump questions,” John McLaughlin said.
Polls often undercount Trump’s support, as was shown in both 2016 and 2020, and promote Democrats. “Do they think that the voters have forgotten the ‘Hillary Lock’ of 2016 and the ‘Biden Blue Wave’ of 2020?” the duo asked in a blog post.
“For us it’s deja vu all over again, except we may have learned from 2016 and 2020,” they said.
In the blog, also posted on Newsmax, they gave this explanation of some sample standards:

“So once again we see the media using polls to discourage and suppress supporters and donors of President Trump. Why? Because it’s very clear that the Republican establishment, the Washington, D.C. establishment, and the media establishment do not want to see him elected president again.

“Unlike these media polls that have the diluted samples, or have Republicans as low as 25% of their sample (the 2020 election exit polls had Republicans at 36%), or ask leading anti-Trump questions before they ask the ballot, our poll was overall good news for President Trump.”
FOLLOW WASHINGTON SECRETS FOR BUZZ AND POLITICS
John McLaughlin added to Secrets, “The continued attacks on Trump by President Biden and liberals in Congress galvanize Trump’s conservative base. The bottom line — Trump is still the Republican to beat, and actual votes for delegates are over a year away.”
In their latest survey, besides showing Trump remaining the one to beat, they found Trump’s support had popped a point since Election Day last month, while they have the support for DeSantis down nationally by 4 points.
Nobody else comes close. Former Vice President Mike Pence is still stuck in the single digits, at 5%, and he is third in the new survey.

Here is your Canadia obamacare at work. I am sure you are excited for this? Hypothetical person with heart disease needing an operation fast. "Sir we are happy to help as is your right in our socialized medicine system. We have a wait time for your operation of 4 years which is not bad. If at anytime you wish to die for any reason then we can help you with that in a matter of a few days max."

WOW!

Canada's single payer health care system has no relation to Obamacare. Stupid post is stupid.

1. ACA was a Republican-created program.
2. Canadian Healthcare is nothing at all like the ACA.

Donald Trump is only running for reelection to shield himself from prosecution and to enrich himself. He will not run much of a campaign this time and will lose in 'rigged' primaries to DeSantis. After that he will do whatever it takes to get a network deal.
 
 
@iceheart08 please quit pulling crap in CO.

Federal revenue continues to soar with Trump tax cuts, CBO report shows​

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which critics said would only benefit the rich, has led to a windfall into the government's coffers.

By Aaron Kliegman
Updated: January 15, 2023 - 11:21pm
Tax cuts signed into law in 2017 by then-President Donald Trump have raised revenues for the federal government over the last five years, despite concerns among Democrats and other critics that the cuts would be a fiscal nightmare only benefiting the rich.
The government collected a record $4.9 trillion in revenue last year, according to the latest report from the Congressional Budget Office, a nonpartisan federal agency. That's nearly $500 billion higher than what the CBO had projected.
Receipts from corporate income taxes, meanwhile, were $425 billion, exceeding CBO's projection by 25%, while receipts from individual income taxes were $2.6 trillion, exceeding CBO's projection by 11%.
Federal revenues are now up about $1.5 trillion, or roughly 40%, since the Trump tax cuts went into effect at the beginning of 2018. By comparison, the cuts were initially estimated to cost the government $1 trillion, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.
"We have higher tax revenue right now than we've ever had in the history of the country," Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.) told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "Think about that: Everything we've been through — COVID, inflation, all of the challenges of the last 36 months that our country has had — we have higher tax revenues than we have ever had in the history of the country."
Trump signed the Republican-backed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law in December 2017. The legislation simplified tax filing for many families and lowered the tax rates paid by most filers. It also cut business taxes, including lowering the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%.
Democrats and experts from left-leaning organizations blasted the tax cuts as a ploy to benefit the rich exclusively in a move that would cause deficits to soar.
"Last time Republicans held the majority, they enacted a $2 trillion tax scam that funneled massive windfalls to the biggest corporations and wealthiest families — which increased the deficit because the GOP did not provide offsets," Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday in a press release, echoing a common talking point of hers.
President Biden has similarly said "all" of the tax cut benefits "went to folks at the top and corporations," a claim deemed "false" by the Washington Post's fact-checker. Biden's White House has also claimed the Trump tax cuts would add trillions to deficits over the next decade due to less revenue.
However, beyond raising revenues, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lowered taxes for all income groups, particularly the middle class, according to studies and government data.
Americans with adjusted gross income (AGI) between $50,000 and $74,999 saw a 15.2% reduction in average tax liabilities between 2017 and 2019, the year of the agency's most recent available data, according to an analysis by Americans for Tax Reform. During that same period, Americans with AGI of between $75,000 and $99,999 saw a 15.6% reduction in average federal tax liability.
In 2018, middle- and working-class Americans received tax cuts of between 11% and 88%, at least double that of wealthier taxpayers, according to an analysis of IRS income tax data by the Heartland Institute. Those earning between $500,000 and $1 million received single-digit cuts, and those reporting an AGI of between $5 million and $10 million paid just 3.5% less in taxes.
"It is the working class who have made the biggest gains under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act," Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.), the new chair of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, said in December to mark the five-year anniversary of the Trump tax cuts. "Not only did working families get to keep more of their paycheck, but their paychecks grew the fastest compared to every other income group."
Before the economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, household incomes were rising at historic rates in the aftermath of the tax cuts.
Real median household incomes grew by more than $5,000 in 2018 and 2019 alone. By contrast, according to the Heritage Foundation, real median household income grew by a total of $7,600, or about $250 per year, in the 30 years prior to 2017.
Meanwhile, business investment increases spiked by the end of 2019 by 9.4% compared to the pre-tax cut trend, according to Tyler Goodspeed and Kevin Hassett, who served as acting chairman and chairman, respectively, of the Council of Economic Advisers in the Trump administration. For corporations, real investment was up by as much as 14.2% That finding echoes a 2021 report from the Heritage Foundation outlining major growth in wages and investment following the tax cuts.
Scott chided Democrats for arguing higher tax rates mean higher government revenue, noting Trump's individual tax cuts are set to expire in 2025 and warning there will be reduced federal revenue if that's allowed to happen. Republicans have called for extending the provisions but will likely face stiff resistance from Democrats.
"One of our real challenges is getting those tax rates that have spurred this economic growth extended," said Scott. "Again, we've got higher tax revenue than we've ever had in the history of the country. We don't have a tax rate problem; we have a spending problem."
The CBO estimated on Tuesday that the federal deficit increased to $418 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 — $41 billion more than the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, when COVID-19 was still a prominent issue in daily life for many Americans.
While the CBO was substantially off with its revenue estimates for last year, the agency may hit closer to the mark this year.
"The report tells us less about the impact of tax changes dating to 2018, and more about CBO underestimating the speed of the recovery from the 2020 downturn and the revenue consequences of undoing the emergency fiscal response," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum. "With those two anomalies in the rearview mirror, CBO will likely be much closer to the mark in fiscal 2023."
 
Old white guy here and this is me to a T. Trump can’t win period. Desantis is the future whether anyone thinks he will attempt to do everything Trump would or not. I also work in ~1300 homes a year and I’ve talked with hundreds and hundreds of homeowners about Trump. The vast majority like his policies but not him, same as me.
Agree, particularly in a purple state like Georgia. Traditional Republican party wins in the suburbs of large metro areas, but they won't vote for Trump or his candidates. Rural Georgia loves Trump and anything not a Democrat.If Trump runs in Georgia, then the only Democrat candidate that Trump might beat is Biden.

Pretty sure the Democrats are going to take care of Biden like I'm sure the Republicans will take care of Trump. Both parties want power and politicians play a zero sum game.

I could see Trump getting the nomination which means another Dem imo. This is if Ron decides he doesn’t want to be attacked 24/7 for the rest of his natural life like DJT.

I think both political armies are going for the jugglar and I think Trump may land with criminal charges (even though Biden may have foreign skeletons aka Hunter Biden's largesse).

Trump will attack whoever runs in the Republican primary....and wins the Republican nomination....proving once and for all, Trump is not a Republican, but fit better there on the economic policies.

If Trump loves America, he needs to put his ego aside and help save this country. I don't think that this time it means he should return to the White House. I also don't think it means a Democrat should be there unless it is one far right of center like the Southern Democrats used to be.

I don’t think the GOP will win the Presidency again.
Look at an electoral map. They can’t win without PA, AZ and MI and those states are gone. They defied the polls and other states with similar demographics and magically won,defying all the historic data and trends and indicators.
The Dems elected a candidate in charge of her own election where there was mass verified violation of state election Law and the judge invented higher than the laws standards and completely ignored other existing law to dismiss the case
They elected a dead guy.
They elected a brain damaged guy who can’t complete an intelligible sentence.
The Dems won the states where they’ve gotten unverified mail in ballots enacted and lost the same kinds of states where they don’t.
it’s over.
