First and foremost, Donald Trump is not going to get impeached. Never. First, he has committed no crime while in office. All of this garbage with Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels is nothing but a witch hunt. This is just a case of sour grapes by Democrats and Liberals because their queen didn't get elected. Too bad. Suck it up.

As for North Korea, I am happy that they are decided to rid their nuclear program. Of course, here in the US, no credit is being given to the Trump administration...instead they want to keep focus on a woman who makes a living being on her knees.

Also, for almost a year after the election all of the talking heads kept saying how Trump being POTUS would result in an economic crash. It was also said that he would only benefit the 1%, not the rest of the country. Well, the following article states that wealthier Americans will be paying more in income tax.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5588059/Trumps-new-tax-law-means-earners-pay-share-income-tax.html

Anyway, I find it quite refreshing to have a President who has no problems telling other to fack off and make Americans a top priority than a President (Obama/Hillary) who would sacrifice American interests to pursue a globalist agenda.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All the talk of the economic plans (from the American perspective) was going to be criticised or praised for sincere and political reasons. Some of it would be hyperbolic, but others would be genuine and fair.

Also what you state from the daily mail is not particularly accurate. As firstly, the figure can be disputed as their are deductions, which makes the rate of tax reduce from 87% to 67% with deductions included, the Daily mail doesn't include this with their article - but what they cite the (The Wall Street Journal) does (but interestingly at the very bottom of the article).

Secondly, the Daily Mail (along with the Wall Street Journal) reference some of the Tax Policy Centre studies, but have interpreted the data and analysis differently to other news outlets. The FT has shown with lowering cooperation tax and estate tax will benefit the richest individuals in the country the most.

Thirdly, the findings of the study are largely predictions based on whether the economy will grow at a particular rate. So to use it as definite proof is disingenuous to say the least. The most probably affect to Trumps economic policies will that tariffs will hurt industries rather than help, and that his tax laws will massively increase the deficit.

Protectionism won't work in the long run, and I'm sorry to break to you but Obama/Hilary always worked in the best interest of the US.

"Obama/Hilary always worked in the best interest of the US"

Disagree. When a Presidential candidate says in a private recording that they want "open trade and open borders", this is not the best interest of the United States.

Also, the point of the "trade war" going on now is because there are areas of the US which have been decimated with respect to manufacturing jobs. Trump has maintained the stance that he would do whatever was necessary to bring those jobs back to the US, which is why he was able to win states like Michigan and Pennsylvania in the election. People were sick and tired of the same BS where politicians would promise the world and then be ignored for four years. At least the President is trying to do something about it.

I personally do not want open borders. I want an immigration system in place that will welcome immigrants with open arms provided they meet certain criteria. Also, I want the United States to enforce immigration laws.

Obama deported lot of illegal immigrants - far more than Bush

Also, protectionism doesn't guarantee anything, if the US raises tariffs and China and the world do the same, all it achieves is that the price of goods will go up which harms innovation in the long run.

You can absolutely keep manufacturing jobs but be global, but it really depends on the goods you offer. Case in point, with a strong currency you can import materials cheaply with low tariffs, and produce technological innovative goods which can do well in the global market, which other less developed countries won't be able to produce yet.

Just because you think he's a na zi doesn't make it so. Also, it's often said that you know you are losing an argument when you automatically start resorting to name calling.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not name calling, he’s a NA ZI and is supported by neo NA ZI’s, White Suprenicist groups, and thick racist hillbilly’s.

Call it what it is you dumb apologist.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you think calling someone a "dumb apologist" is? That's name calling!

Come talk to me once you've removed your head from your stinkhole.

Are you not a gun totting republican Texan? If so, won’t get any sense out of you. Programmed to be thick.

Some of my comments about Palestine and western hypocrisy regarding human rights abuses are true but most Western people blinded by right wing propoganda won't recognise that.Similarly,not all facts including opinions of unbiased Western journalists who have visited Syrian areas speak the opposite about any possibility of chemical weapons used by Syria against rebels and its people.Everyone keeps weeping about manslaughter done by Hitler while forgetting many brutal killings by USA and Israel and sadly England and other European countries send their own troops which shows that their foreign policy is not free or independent.Liberation and revolutionary movements in Egypt,Tunisia,Algeria have been stopped and USA continues to be silent about it and massacre in Myanmar of Rohingya Muslims also gets completely ignored as are several human rights abuses by USA ally Saudi Arabia.
