What Did President Trump Do Now?

The Batlord · 04-11-2017, 06:33 PM

When he has nothing to say he switches to pedantic trolling without even realizing it.

Lol, people don't realize that a lot of effects from changes, especially economic ones, aren't instantaneous. These are the type of people that think the rising jobs on Trump's first day was all Trump and had nothing to do with Obama.

You and your damn pedantics. Though I can't get into his head, I'm assuming this is what he meant: to get someone out of something would be to achieve the end of it, which is what happened. He got the US out of the war by helping win it, otherwise they might have been in it (including a costly invasion of Japan) and by authorising the development of the atomic bomb, which was the main factor in ending at least the war in the Pacific.

Are you really going to be such a dick as to deny FDR his legacy? Have you nothing else to do?

Wow. If these are the kinds of mental gymnastics you have to do to make your point, maybe you should rethink your position.

Thanks. I was tempted to respond with more detail, but what's the point? I'm sure every reasonable person who read my post understands what I meant.

Honestly, FDR was one of the best presidents we ever had. Though his daughter Anna deserves a lot of credit too.

FDR authorized the development of the atomic bomb which ushered in the era of nuclear warfare and nuclear proliferation. He never mentioned the Holocaust in any public speech. Did not sign anti-lynching legislation. He sign Executive Order 9066 which lead to the forced relocation and incarceration of 110,000 Japanese into interment camps. Quite a legacy. Why, who would want to deny that?

Everyone knew what you meant. FDR made America great again, the way it was before before 1929. And FDR is responsible for American exceptionalism, by getting us out of the war. See FDR was the commander and chief of US armed forces that defeated the Nazis, thus consequently getting us out of the war. I apologize for mentioning the Allies, British Spies, and the restistance because that subtracts from American exceptionalism. FDR MAGA!

I agree with you on his speeches. However, JFK had the potential to be one of the greatest. I completely agree with his philosophy and as his presidency continued, he clearly had his eyes opened as to the problems with our current government and the solutions. Unfortunately, he did not live long enough to see many of those solutions enacted.

I always think about what would have happened and where we would be if JFK had lived and had 2 terms.

Nah the president who was like "oh this Benjamin Harrison guy, I can take him." Then everyone voted for Harrison in an upset and it sucked. That was when Cleveland came back and was like "miss me bitches? I told you it would be bad" for his acceptance speech before putting on sunglasses and walking away as the podium explodes behind him.

Grover Cleveland is a boss.
