Five Principles That Will Power President Trump's Reelection

https://www.forbes.com/sites/lorent...wer-president-trumps-reelection/#6598b87015b8

"Peace. Trump said this week that if he hadn’t been elected, the U.S. would be at war with North Korea. That’s a stretch, but he has demonstrated repeatedly that he is not eager to use America’s military overseas. In addition to smothering North Korean despot Kim Jong Un with love, he has signaled from day one he wanted to get along with a nuclear-armed Russia; refrained from bombing Iran; tried to pull all remaining U.S. troops out of Syria; avoided sending forces to remove Venezuela’s discredited dictator; and told his advisors he wants to get out of Afghanistan as soon as possible. Having watched what happened in past presidential elections to parties that were blamed for unpopular wars, Trump is not going to let anybody accuse him of being a military interventionist.

Prosperity. The single most reliable indicator of whether an incumbent president will be reelected is whether the economy is doing well. Under Trump, the economy is going gangbusters—in fact, better than most economists predicted was even possible. With unemployment at record lows and the stock market at record highs, there isn’t even a hint of inflation. Trump stimulated an economy thought to be in the late stages of expansion, and gave it a new lease on life. Democrats will say his trade policies are undermining prosperity, but the nation’s yawning trade deficit actually cuts a full percentage point off the economic growth rate each year, so there’s a link between all his tariffs and bolstering prosperity.

Sovereignty. If a country can’t control its borders and can’t stop foreign entities from interfering in its domestic affairs, then it has diminished sovereignty. Nationalists like Trump believe the sovereignty of nation-states, at least legitimate ones, should be absolute. So of course the fact that apprehensions of illegal migrants on the southern border were averaging over 3,000 per day in April is an issue, especially given uncertainty as to how many illegals were not apprehended. And signing onto multilateral treaties like the Paris climate accords or the Trans-Pacific Partnership can also be construed as potentially infringing sovereignty. Trump’s campaign will say he wants to restore America’s control of its destiny. How the Democrats will explain their incoherent approach to border security is anyone’s guess.

Self-sufficiency. Like sovereignty, self-sufficiency is not a term Trump would likely invoke at a campaign rally. But the two ideas are related. Trump doesn’t subscribe to the theory of comparative advantage among nations, or to free trade, or to economic globalization, because he believes every nation is out to get the best deal for itself even if that means breaking the rules. In that regard, the international economy is not much different from the New York real-estate market where Trump made his fortune. So rather than sacrificing his generation to a principle (as Churchill might have put it), Trump wants America to be self-sufficient in key commodities and manufactured items. That’s why he tells Apple to make its iPhones here, and Mercedes to make its cars here. He doesn’t care if that violates trade rules—and neither do most voters.

Energy. I’m not talking about fossil fuels here, I’m talking about initiative. Trump is an activist who is relentless about pursuing his agenda, whether the topic is deregulation of the economy or denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. His energy level surpasses the performance of any president in living memory, and once he decides what his goals are he doesn’t pay much attention to critics. Having an activist at the helm conveys a sense of dynamism about the administration and the nation that is largely missing from the politics of other nations. You don’t need to agree with Trump’s agenda to see why nobody in Republican circles is talking about “passing the torch.”"
 
President Trump has delivered for African Americans

As President Trump returns to Cincinnati today, he brings with him an impressive record of accomplishment. Not only has the president delivered results for Americans across the board, he has done so specifically for the African American community.

Meanwhile, 2020 Democrats continue to lecture us about what they think our communities need, while refusing to cover their own records on race. But what they fail to explain is how President Trump’s record of success could ever be a bad thing.

Since President Trump took office nearly two and a half years ago, he has delivered transformative results. From passing tax cuts and renegotiating bad trade deals to rebuilding our military and fostering a booming economy, the president is making all parts of America and Ohio greater.

In all fairness there is a difference in being unnerved and feeling unsafe and wanting isolation from different opinions.

OK. So, assuming (possibly incorrectly) that you meant to differentiate JazzyFresh and minority students seeking safe spaces, which of those two do you think applies to minority students, and which to JazzyFresh?
 
I borrowed it from you. I will return it to you soon.
Nah you don't see me talk about groups of people hardly ever. I talk about individuals mostly.
Rarely do I say conservatives are this or Republicans are that or liberals or the media or whatever. Cause I don't believe you can group all of those people as one.
You and I are VERY VERY different in that regard.

You can keep your broad brush. You use it a ton. I don't have much use for it

Thats good if true. I will remember this. Im making a note of it right now. Got a little Jazzfanz notebook. Its going at the top of your profile, under Wild and Inaccurate Claims section. Page 2. Section b.

You connected the two and I’m simply saying it’s not the same thing. Being unnerved isn’t the same as calling for a safe space. Generally speaking I’m against safe spaces. Yes, there are exceptions. Women’s shelters being an example. But from the articles I’ve read and what not this safe space push on campuses is geared more towards silencing dissenting opinions. And that’s just something I don’t generally agree with. It’s ok to be unnerved or offended. Nothing happens.

Except, the point of safe spaces is to limit harmful opinions in a narrow confines. Dissenting opinions are not silenced on 95% of the campus, and to say 'they need to be able to say this on the last 5%' is the same as being 'silenced' is disingenuous.

Yes, something happens when people are unnerved or offended; they stop talking. The primary reason I don't post in the conservative safe space thread (and I think other non-conservative posters should stay out) is people like JazzyFresh deserve a place to talk without being contradicted or feeling like they are being attacked. I've got the rest of the message board to state/spew (depending upon your point of view) my opinions, I can leave that thread alone. Freedom of speech means less when people don't feel free to discuss how they earnestly feel.
 
Sovereignty. If a country can’t control its borders and can’t stop foreign entities from interfering in its domestic affairs, then it has diminished sovereignty.

Turning a blind eye to an outright attack on our sovereignty as a nation, by our chief geopolitical adversary of the past 70+ years, through interference in the central institution of our democracy, also diminishes our sovereignty, as the above statement points out. If your posting this is now an acknowledgement on your part that the attack by Russia was not a "hoax", well, that's a good thing...

I'm fine with that.
Most of my political posting is about Trump.
Not the Republicans or the conservatives or the media etc

#1 reason I voted for President Trump. Right here.



Yeah, the problem with this is the issues that plague us are oftimes part of the "culture wars". Soon, we will be a majority minority nation. And it is difficult to conceive of a situation where our nation peacefully transitions to the 1950's in terms of our values, or returns to the 19th century. Therefore, ensuring that our judicial system is firmly a reactionary force within our society will not bode well for peace and harmony within our society down the line. The liberal tradition is not going to simply die, vanish, or lay down silently. And it will not be legislated out of existence, or killed off by reactionary judges.

Put more simply, since we are only going to grow more diverse, not less, establishing a firmly reactionary Judiciary guarantees future conflict. And I'm speaking of the remainder of this century, a few generations, in other words. There will be movements in the future where people will take matters into their own hands if a reactionary Judiciary continues to impose only its interpretations. Neither "side" can attain something resembling "total victory", where, for instance, conservatives dance on the graves of liberals. Politics has been described as "the art of compromise". This attitude that somehow a conservative Judiciary will crush liberal points of view is absolutely foolish, and given our inevitable trends toward increasing diversity, both ultimately futile, as well as a guaranteer of intense conflict for our immediate future generations.
