The Impact of Executing “I Am Not Trump”
Joe Biden campaigned on a single issue: I am not Trump. He is keeping his campaign promise and ridding the world of every vestige of Bad Orange Man.
The only reason I can find for the Biden Administration’s policy of an open southwest border is that Trump wanted a border wall, and everything Trump was evil, so since Trump wanted a border wall, Biden decided the border wall should be replaced by its opposite: an unguarded entryway for anyone who wishes to come to the U.S. This has resulted in uncontrolled entry of about two million foreigners each of whom must be housed, fed, provided with all other social benefits such as free healthcare and education, and transportation to a destination of choice.
Once at their destination, often without notice to officials, local jurisdictions were required to provide social services.
In fact, that pretty well explains every one of Biden’s catastrophes. Trump was tough on our NATO allies in order to strengthen the alliance into a meaningful organization, therefore Biden needs to destroy the alliance. He’s done an excellent job of that, first jumping into the middle of an existing deal for France to upgrade Australia’s submarine fleet. That resulted in France withdrawing its Ambassador to the U.S. Then came Afghanistan, where troops from many NATO countries were involved. They were involved because, following the September 11, 2001 attack on the U.S. that was launched from Afghanistan, we had invoked Article Five of the NATO Treaty, obliging all signatories to assist in mutual defense. Thus, many NATO countries had troops in the country.
When the U.S. decided to end its presence in Afghanistan, we didn’t bother telling the other NATO countries with troops in-country.
Trump had set a withdrawal date from Afghanistan, predicated on a number of actions taking place. Among them was granting women the right to vote, which occurred in 2018. Others included pacification of villages and provinces, which took place beginning with his election. Biden accepted a fixed withdrawal date but eliminated all required milestones. Where Trump surrounded himself with military leaders with combat experience, Biden eliminated those and assembled a national security team of former anti-war protesters and globalists.
Two issues stand out above all others. The first was Trump’s unabashed America-first attitude of Make America Great Again – MAGA. The second was energy independence, which Trump achieved. Biden adopted a set of policies essentially extending the Obama Apology Tour worldwide, thus appearing weak and inviting Putin to take Ukraine. Biden also intentionally shut down a great deal of our oil and gas production, claiming it was to support the Green New Deal. With the loss of energy independence went both a very powerful lever to help America’s ability to affect other nations, as well as our status as the world’s sole reserve currency. This last item, world’s reserve currency, is a large reason why we’ve avoided both high interest rates and economic contraction – until now.
Trump stood up to China. Biden is bought and paid for by China.
Trump demanded regulatory sense; Biden has reignited the Regulatory Engine to control every detail of Americans’ lives.
Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem and established the Abraham Accords. Biden appears to insist on ensuring that Iran achieves nuclear armament status
Trump insisted on buying lasting value with deficit spending; Biden insists on rewarding his supporters and cronies with deficit spending.
The impact of Biden executing “I Am Not Trump” has been enormous. With the loss of energy independence, we have lost our ability to prosper safely in an anti-American global environment.
It is with a heavy heart that I am removing all of Slandermen's comments in this thread and every thread going forward. I am committed to free speech and am glad when someone disagrees with me, because it is only through honest disagreement that I can learn. Slandermen does not support his disruption with facts; he conflates his opinions with objectivity, and true to his name, casts unsupported aspersions on other posters.
I cannot ban him because my posts are open to everyone. The only way to ban him is to make my posts private or paid, and I'm unwilling to do either.
It is often hard to tell whether Biden is simply a moron or a sinister international criminal intent on destroying the United States. In 2021, his Department of State spent $250,000,000 buying border walls for Mideastern and African countries.
