How does Trump harm you?
- Thread starter Spiderman

Simple. He harms my country. That translates into personal harm to me, my friends, and my family, among other things.
For instance, how do you explain to three young nephews that the President's behavior towards, and treatment of other people is unacceptable and should never be followed? Even if some of their classmates think it's cool.
And that's just about the least of it. It only gets worse from there. Much worse.

I find I have more money in my pocket because of Trump. He hasn't harmed anybody as far as his policies go and in fact helped the American people far more than the past administration has. Not to mention that he has payed so much more attention to the actual people in this country through his actions so far, not just empty words.
He's proactively addressing illegal entry into this country using action, already provided middle class tax cuts that has put more food on people's tables and restored some ability for people to pay their own essential expense rather than relying on socialist programs as a long term dependent, addressed and had accomplished a degree of progress in rectifying the egregious and clearly broken healthcare system that Obama all but destroyed through the socialist process of conveniently robbing Peter to pay Paul.
I don't know of anything Trump has done to harm the American people with exception made of course to those who are prone to unreasonable feelings of entitlement and dependency expecting to pay little or nothing by way of effort themselves with exception to the very basic needs the federal government is obligated to provide.
For example, I'm on unemployment now and collecting benefits since my company shut down. (And no, it wasn't due to any of Trumps policies btw) But guess what?
None of this is being handed to me pro bono without any obligation and effort on my part.
I'm actually required to keep and maintain a weekly log of Job searches and all mandatory sessions at the Federal Department of Labor in order to keep on the program. I'm required to keep all the information on file for a year and certify weekly with the Federal Department of Labor and present my records upon demand.
And guess what? I like it that way because it's a healthy motivator , and I don't feel like I'm completely siphoning off government benefits like a socialist parasite intending to stay the long term because it compels me to stop being dependent and get proactive again.
The left strikes me as being a bunch of people that like to be socially dependent on a permanent basis. Trump is putting a stop to that type of behavior.
Had it been Hillary, I would think likely we would still be stuck in the mud as usual, she would have damaged the middle-class even further through the Socialist parasitic programs of the left increased further and further to the point where we will start looking like the country of Greece before its well publicized downfall.
For socialist mentalities of the left , that is harm to them, for which they blame Trump for just about anything under the sun that they can think of.
Trump isn't doing any harm because he's making this a country of independence instead of dependents.
Trump doing harm is pretty much a socialist leftist thing.

Very much this. In additional his rhetoric has embolden white supremacists which also lead to the death of the people of the Jewish temple, not to mention Charlottesville.
Republicans don't seem to care about the air that they breathe and the water they drink, and pollution in general, all gotten worse under Trump and that just the small part of the nightmare legislations etc he has passed. I mean he's in the process of hiring a coal lobbyist to run the EPA, or more accurately gut the EPA!!
People are starving right now because Trump's policies cut their food stamps, the only people that benefit long term from Trump are the super rich. Middle class are ignored or worse off, poor are much worse off. 99% are worse off!!

He does what every person with averice does. Put their greed before other lives and dont care if it doesn't effect them.

This fascinates me when Trump supporters say this. I have a social work buddy who is a conspiracy theorist quack and an avid Trump supporter, yet he claims he has more money in his pocket as well. Considering I'm in a higher tax bracket than he, and making more money I asked him in what way is he making more. Not to put his entire business out there but he is close to making six figures, lives in his mother's basement (this is actually true), is taking out a loan yet he claims Trump is putting more in his pocket, and oh yes, he complains about his boss and his hourly wages.
Plain and simple Trump benefits those that are on his level financially...
"A majority of voters believes their personal financial situation has remained the same or gotten worse over the past two years, said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll.
"When you look at that backbone of the country -- the middle class -- people think that there's stagnancy and not much has happened for them," although "things might be marginally better nationwide," he said. "That could be a problem in the midterms for a lot of people. At least some people believe that promises were not fulfilled."
Inflation-adjusted hourly wages dropped 0.2 percent in July from a year earlier, their worst reading since 2012, according to the Labor Department, amid faster price gains. They've grown at an average 0.3 percent annual pace under Trump overall, compared with 1.1 percent during Barack Obama's second term. Trump's escalating tariff disputes risk eroding buying power further by driving up prices.
At the same time, many Americans received a boost in take-home pay from the tax cuts, though some ended up paying more in taxes. About 65 percent of taxpayers will receive a tax cut in 2018, averaging $2,200 from the new law's individual provisions, while 6 percent will receive an increase of about $2,800, according to estimates from the Tax Policy Center in March.
As a candidate, Trump excoriated his predecessor for slow growth in American workers' incomes."

LOL Yes this is called unemployment.
No harm here. He benefits the country by putting America first, and that helps my family.
Give me a break. Ever heard of personal accountability? Maybe not. You are a leftist after all.
So you're not going to respond to the 15 ways Trump has hurt workers? That speaks volumes.

What was that indigenous saying?
"Give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime".
Why don't you give us a break. You are in effect arguing that people cannot be held responsible for encouraging or inciting others to actions. Do you think this is theater of the absurd?

So does the AFL-CIO.
About as useful as "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

Ah yes the ad hominem yes but the stupid right loves to talk about personal accountability yet when facts are brought to their god they pointing fingers at other people.
