Is Donald Trump going to be the next president of the United states? Good chance . Here’s Why.
Apr 27th
Will Donald Trump be the Obama spoiler? Is he already too big too powerful and too much of a Juggernaut to be stopped? Does he resonate with working people ? He’s a worker himself. Will republicans and Democrats alike abandon the feel good politics of Barrack Obama?? It’s starting to look that way .
Donald Trump wants to bring jobs back to American from India, Mexico and China and he says he has a plan. The plan is to stop the Chinese from jiggling it’s currency, making billions at our loss. He wants the yen to be in line or he will tax them 25% on all exports to the USA.
He’ll do the same with India and Mexico if they don’t immediately get their wages in line with ours. Can he do that?? Yes he can. The problem with NAFTA is that the past three administrations were looking out for the world economy and not ours. NAFTA did not worked and it has put us into a 14 Trillion dollar deficit. China made a 1/2 trillion dollar profit last year from us .
You may think Donald Trump is a joke but a lot of people trust his business sense and they are willing to trade Barack Obama in on that point alone.
Donald Trump wants a payoff to go to war in the Middle East. He unabashedly says ….If we go into Libya to free them, we want their oil. Right now China gets all of their oil and we are paying for the war in Libya, while China pays nothing. The Arab league wants the USA to pay for the Libyan war but they have paid nothing and have not given us any oil in trade. In fact they raised oil prices to $4.00 a gallon in Vail today. What Trump says is “screw that”. No more Mamby pambying around. No more America pays for everything.
He is saying what a lot of Americans want to hear. Which is, screw the pansies on the left, He’s going to make other countries pay to do business with us. As an example Iraq has trillions of dollars of oil and they should be paying us back right now. Trump believes in conquering any country we go to war with similar to what we did during WWII, not go in lose American lives, trillions of dollars and then leave with nothing.
Donald Trump is shaking up the political world in New Hampshire and the Democrats are in big trouble. He could very well be the American maverick who caught Barrack Obama flat footed on this day and storm his way to the white house. We give him a 60-40 chance.
