Trump pulled out of pretty much every deal and treaty Obama had made and started trade wars with US allies. This has made diplomacy significantly harder for the US because now we all know that any deal we make with the US is only good until possibly the next election. This means it will be harder for the US to make any deal with any nation and the US are as reliant on global trade as everyone else. It’s similar to Brexit where the UK leadership basically told all their allies to eat shit. It’s going to be a while until they get any good deals with the EU.
They’re downright anti-intellectuals. They’ve been raging against college educations for decades, talking about how college educated people are part of the elite and look down on the rural hard working people of America. They’ve actively cultivated an uneducated demographic to the point where factory workers will vote for the same guy that’s gonna bust up their union and shut down the factory. This creates a cycle of poverty because manual labor is disappearing more and more. Even miners need an engineering degree nowadays. Companies that need highly skilled labor aren’t going to establish themselves in bum fuck nowhere where there is no investment in education. This leads to unemployment, poverty, even less education etc etc. Yet people will keep voting for it. See the Kansas experiment and Kentucky.
If anyone gets a thank-you note from President Biden for helping get him out of a jam in recent days, it should probably be former President Donald J. Trump....
Then say that. Because on every post about Biden there is someone complaining about him being complicit in genocide but never mentioning anything other than not voting for him or that Trump is worse. To an outsider that looks a lot like a concerted effort to get people to not vote and that benefits republicans because their base votes no matter what.
He doesn’t have a “both sides suck comedy style” he has always called out bullshit where he sees it. A lot of the show was fact checking Fox News because that’s where most of the bullshit is. He also left the show in 2015 so he didn’t host the show during the election.
Based on everything you just said I’d think you’d be glad to have him back then. Because it’s obvious he takes Trump seriously now. But back in the primaries nobody took any republican candidate seriously, especially the DNC. And to be fair, neither did I. It was a clown show. If Hillary’s campaign hadn’t been so overconfident and tried harder to win over Sanders supporters things would likely be a lot different.
Maybe Stewart would have made a difference if he stayed, because the Daily Show lost a lot of relevance without him, but at the time he had covered a lot of elections and didn’t have it in him to do it again. I just don’t think it’s fair to put any of the blame on Stewart. He fought his entire career for the media to be better than this. Did he fail? Arguably, yes. But he did fight and he should be commended for that, not blamed for the circus that is American politics today.
If Daily show is relevant at all this election it will be because of Jon. This episode was him reestablishing himself as the most trusted man in news. Stewart has plenty of time to kill trump. But don’t expect him to be a champion for democrats. He never has been. He has a chance now though.
President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night....
As opposed to every president the US has had since the 1940s? Quit avoiding the question. Do you honestly believe it would be better under Trump? Or can you be honest and admit it would most likely be even worse and that he would also let Russia steamroll Ukraine?
Trump is the end of democracy in the US. Not something better. You’re either a disingenuous troll or there is something seriously wrong with your brain. Blocked.
Yeah. Even if you ignored all of Trump’s Nazi rhetoric and persecution of minorities I don’t get why they think Trump would stop the genocide in Palestine. Netanyahu is exactly the kind of strong man bully that Trump idolizes.
