My worry with Trump is that he has never in any way served our country in any capacity before, and now he is the most powerful leader of it with no experience. Is this a valid worry, or do you this is a nonissue?
It certainly isn't haha, just I thought the most relevant one to make a poll about where I might gets not the generic democratic and republican responses:)
That is exactly what people are looking for. Many are sick and tired of Washington Politics status quo and wanted a leader to shake that institution up.
I get that. I'm in favor of that, too. But, I'm worried not because of his lack of political experience, but lack of experience serving our country. He has yet show any kind of loyalty to our country, that's what worries me. I'm not sure how much of this is because he loves America, or he loves the attention.
Loyalty to America. As in not trusting Russia or China after what they've been doing simply because their good business countries. My fear stems from the fact that in business you often do anything to get the deal or make the money, often sacrificing the good of your employees. He's not shown himself in anyway to be loyal to America and I'm fearful he'll sacrifice citizens for his own best interests. He's done it before with his business. This goes to respond to your irrational fear comment above, too.
Yes, with the whole world watching, our billionaire president is going to screw over America to make a few extra bucks. 🙄
Your fears are unfounded and most likely not well thought out
Not make a few bucks, but he's more concerned with our economy than anything. I have no doubt he'd make a bad deal with Russia or China at the expense of the citizens in an effort to lower the debt.
Our economy is currently one of the strongest in the worlds, I don't think it's our #1 issue. And it could very easily be a bad to lower the debt if it's at the expense of our rights, our saftey, and jobs. Business leaders like Trump don't care about their most of their employees, what makes you think he'll care about you?
Our economy is in shambles. That's why Trump won. His victory is a direct repudiation of Obama's policies by the voters? You're concern should be can he undo the damage BO has done to the country. Certainly no one could do worse than Obama, so you can lay your fears to rest.
The United States is essentially the largest company in the world. There is very little difference between running a country and running a multi-national corporation. Trump's business experience is extremely relevant in this situation.
I'm very curious as to why so many people think running a company and and a country and so similar. In a company you only have to be concerned with how to make the most $. In a country you have to care for your citizens, regulate the businesses within the country, create and enforce laws, and deal with issues like immigration, economy, foreign policy, and constitutional rights. A country isn't only its economy or you would see millions of immigrants moving to Brazil and India, too.
Companies don't care about people, they care about profit. This is exactly my concern about trump. He cares about "winning" and being "#1". Let's hope he DOESN'T run our country like a business.
Uh...yeah? Never claimed Obama ran a business considering I didn't think have business experience is relevant to having served the country. I'm talking more about a show of loyalty here.
Oh okay the America is a business. In that case you don't mind if every citizen is paid a livable wage for doing nothing but being a citizen (being a citizen would be equivalent to being an employee of business), and you have no problem providing every citizen with free benefits as big businesses usually do, and firing (kicking out) anyone arrested for breaking company regulations (laws), and oh yeah! Every other business in America has to be shut down because you can't have a competitive business within a business, that just wouldn't work so hello to communism :) and requiring all babies born here to go through a rigorous interview process to make sure they'll be good employees.
The USA isn't a business. It's made up of businesses no doubt, that's why we're capitalist. It can't be run like a business because citizens are employees. If a country was only its economy Brazil and India would be just as great places to live and Canada and Germany. But they aren't.
I'd love to think so, but I'd be whistling Dixie. We don't have the taxes to cover Obama's debt he accumulated while he was in office. This government can't keep spending more than it takes in! That will apply to Trump too.
Trump's a business man and I'm sure he already knows that. It would be a big job but someone needs to go over all this spending
and remove all the duplicate and triplicate spending that congress so loves to do. Too many government departments doing the same thing! Get rid of all this and that would be a good start.
I'm hoping by the end of President Trump's six month anniversary will see that he's going in the right direction.
I do believe our military needs some beefing up. The infrastructure can wait. Those who serve need our support, financially and our vets need to be taken care of!!
Really!
Since the middle east is on fire, China took an undersea drown and building military islands in China Sea, Iran is harassing our ships and doing fly overs and will build nukes, too many to count that were slaughtered in Aleppo, BO has been brilliant!
It's a valid worry. Trump does not give a shit about this country, the people, or the law. Trump only cares about the Trump brand and how much money he and his cronies can milk the taxpayers for.
Monkey Boy, an adjunct professor is a guy who teaches night school. I am still listed on the adjunct faculty of a northern college. The Constitution is not that hard to understand.
That's still serving the country in a governmental position, whether you think he did anything or not. All senators vote on proposals, so if nothing else (which just isn't true) he did that. He also was a civil rights lawyer and studied constitutional law. I'd say he dedicated his whole life from adulthood to serving our country.
