First 100 Days of Trump

Quote: AZDuffman

Second part first, I don't see the US/NAFTA deal changing much since we had a free trade agreement before. There seems to be far more integration between US/Canada than either with Mexico. The auto industry being the best example. Though for whatever reason Canadians love Chrysler products more than here in the states.

Canada being to the left of the USA I can only imagine how much harder the millennial kids are taking things.

I wonder. If Golden Boy explicitly refuses to obey court rulings regarding his unconstitutional executive order limiting entry to the US, can we start impeachment proceedings based on that? Should we? If we let some high crimes slide, we'll find it more difficult to raise the accusations against trump should (when) he does something much worse.

Then why doesn't his ban cover countries where terrorists have actually come from like Saudi Arabia and UAE?

Oh that's right, cause Donald has business interests there.

Wrong.

Alternative facts.

Fake news.

Huh? You're saying Donald doesn't have business interests in the countries that were excluded from the EO (the ones where the 9/11 terrorists came from)?

You're the guy who is always crying about being unable to have substantive conversations on these boards. When you see something you don't like and just shout "fake news!" to try to silence the topic, you're contributing to the problem. Righties have been doing that far too much lately. Although the main perpetrator is on a 6 day sabbatical...

The reason I called it those things is that your side is acting like the President purposefully left off those other countries. You have likely not read the actual EO or the restraining order, you are just listening to the spin of your side. Read carefully:

"ALL of the countries had already been designated as countries of concern by the previous administration. Six are not even mentioned by name in the order. The only one specifically actually mentioned in the text of the order is Syria. The mention of Syria has to do with the previous administration's decision to let in refugees--that was suspended indefinitely."

THIS action was based on who the previous Democrat administration considered dangerous at this time. He took those countries and put them under a temporary entry ban. The administration did not say that no other country would be added at a later date; they just acted on the seven countries that were already identified as CURRENTLY posing the biggest threat.

That isn't to say that other countries don't pose a threat now or that some never posed a threat; that discussion is still under way. Those countries weren't identified by President Obama and his folks; suddenly they should have been because Trump may have business interests there. Why were those countries not listed by President Obama, who had no business interests in them?

You're painting Canada with a pretty broad brush--they are more liberal in social policy but more conservative in customs and fiscal policy, so it's a mixed bag--but I would think they'd be pretty happy right now that whatever else might be a problem, THEY don't have a narcissistic criminal psychopath as their leader. Really, an orange man who tweets in the middle of the night, doesn't pay his taxes, and can't be bothered to READ anything? You Americans must be nuts!
