Fact checking Trump's presidency

[superpunch]

Fact: Illegal immiragation is down 90%.
Fact: ISIS is on the retreat.
Fact: The economy is expanding at record pace.
Fact: The stock market is at all time highs.
Fact: The budget deficit is lower than ever in recent memory.
Fact: America is wining

Don't listen to the fake news trying to spread dissent among Trump's base. Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He's getting the base powered against the establishment. This is Russia all over again. Don't fall for the BS! DACA is the right thing to do. Executive orders should be law. Illegal immigration is getting taken care of the right way.

Executive Order should be law? You mean like how a king or dictator's orders are the law?

Also Trump has signed zero legislation regarding any of the above so thanks Obama?

No, like Trump rescended the DACA executive order and is getting it passed as a legitimate law. Something Obama couldn't do in 8 years and Trump accomplished in 6 months

 

[superpunch]

All these things are true, By objective measure Trump is the best president in a long time

It's a good thing this thread isn't about checking the factual accuracy of Trump's statements

Bullshit. You think the repubs, who have power now, are going to solve an immigration problem that has been an issue for 30 years in 6 months?? Pull your head out of Uranus.

It will be interesting to see analysis to on how much of what is going on now is due to Trump and how much now is just momentum from Obama years.

In practice that's often hard to separate and gets debated over the years with good arguments on both sides.
Safe bet, Obama's policies and Trump's.

Yes we can "objectively" figure this out in 7 months. Lol ok man

 

[Prutfis]

I would like you to explain, for each of your points, exactly what Trump has done to make it so.

Trump is so good he didn't have to sign a single piece of legislation to make these things happen. MAGA!

ISIS has been steadily losing territory since 2015
The economy has been on an upturn since well before Trump, and he has brought forth no real policy changes.
He proposed a budget. Not merely a detail.

Nobody should ever judge a president on their first year, that's just carrier over from the previous administration. The last couple years is what matters.

For example, the unemployment rate doubled to over 10% in Reagan's first two years--but that was obviously carry over from the crappy Carter economy.

Illegal immigration isn't down 90% during Trump's term. ISIS was on the retreat before the election. The economy is not expanding at a record pace (what metric are you even looking at that justifies the claim?). The stock market is continuing its pre-election trajectory. Don't know what you're saying about the deficit. Trump has had no impact so far (next year, starting in October, will be the first year he had anything to do with it, though presidents generally don't have a lot to do with it), and it was lower in 2015 than it is projected to be this fiscal year.

You can't just make stuff up like that. Your claims can be checked, and they're false.

I would like you to explain, for each of your points, exactly what Trump has done to make it so.

And that, of course.

Fact: America is wining

 

[DoomPatrol]

Fact: Illegal immiragation is down 90%.

What are the numbers going from 2001-2017?

Fact: ISIS is on the retreat.

When did the retreat start? Were they retreating when President Obama left office?

Fact: The economy is expanding at record pace.

What has the economy looked like since 2001? Was it increasing when President Obama handed over the presidency?

Fact: The stock market is at all time highs.

What has the stock market looked like since 2001? Was it increasing when President Obama left office?

Fact: The budget deficit is lower than ever in recent memory.

The Congressional Budget Office seems to think his budget is overly optimistic.

https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52846

They are saying that by 2027 with his budget we should have a deficit of 2.6 GDP, or $720 billion. He can do this because President Obama added so much to the national deficit with because of mandatory spending to turn around the Great Recession and wars he inherited.

Fact: America is wining

Damn right! That's just because Americans kick ass though.

Don't listen to the fake news trying to spread dissent among Trump's base. Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He's getting the base powered against the establishment. This is Russia all over again. Don't fall for the BS! DACA is the right thing to do. Executive orders should be law. Illegal immigration is getting taken care of the right way.

Trump absolutely does not know what he's doing. DACA is a pretty cold thing to do. The program is designed for kids who were brought to America at an age that they had no control over it and they've been here so long they don't know what life in that other country is like. Illegal immigration should be taken care of, but the people in that program are victims. They should be the last to be targeted. We still have illegals here who are criminals and gang members. Those are the ones we should be talking about, not children brought here by their parents who grew up only knowing life in America.

Cool! A thread about what facts aren't. So educational.

Trump is by far the most reckless president with his speech in my lifetime.
