Biden for trump 2020
Biden is a professional politician with 50 years experience. He helped China get ‘Most Favored Nation Trading Status’, forcing American workers to compete with Chinese prison slave labor. Biden was paid handsomely by the Chinese communists and is a rich man today, but it cost America over 10 million jobs and destroyed our manufacturing base. Among Biden’s other claims to fame was his Crime Bill, one of the key contributors to mass incarceration in the 1990s, it led to more prison sentences, more prison cells, and more aggressive policing especially hurting black and brown Americans. Biden voted for the Iraq war which killed nearly 2 million innocent people and spread hundreds of tons of depleted uranium over the Earth. He voted to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act which led to the Savings and Loan debacle and massive bank bailouts costing taxpayers 160 billion dollars. He voted for changes to welfare rules making it harder for families to get the assistance they need. Trump is just a self made billionare who knows how to run a successful company with thousands of emploiees. He has no experience as a professional career politician and can’t be bribed or bought like one. He removed America from GATT, NAFTA, and TPP, bad trade deals that were bleeding America of hundreds of billions of dollars every year. Trade deals made by corrupt professional politicians like Biden who line their pockets by selling out their country. Trump reduced unemployment to its lowest level in 50 years and brought our manufacturing back from Asia, something Obama said couldn’t be done. Trump reopened 7 closed steel mills bringing American steel manufacturing back. He got permanent funding for black colleges, and passed prison reform, which Obama promised to do but never did. With 2.2 million people behind bars in the United States meaningful prison reform was long overdue. Thousands were set free from serving long prison sentences for minor and non-violent crimes while saving the taxpayer millions of dollars. President Trump’s list of accomplishments is long and amazing. https://www.whitehouse.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/ Within his first two years in office he has achieved more for the American people than any president in history. Although Trump is not a professional Washington politician like Biden, he has proven to be a great and brilliant leader. The globalist media and tech giants have marched in lockstep to destroy President Trump since the 2016 election. Propaganda, smears, lies, and media hit jobs have utterly blotted out Trump’s accomplishments. Those who control the social media have created a generation of conformists and followers. Although lied to repeatedly they continue to believe to think to hate exactly as they are told. In both social and broadcast media the president is under constant and unrelenting attack. Every day a new scandal, a new accusation, a new lie, a new smear. All this from a tiny gang of trillionaires who are extremely angry that Trump took America away from them four years ago, and for a brief instant made it free and great again. Their will supersedes that of the American people. Irregardless of any democratic election they will not allow Trump to be the president of the United States. They have determined that America will go back to mediocrity, corruption, exploitation, business as usual. China will stop paying tariffs and pay much less in the form of bribes. Globalists and their corrupt political puppets will go back to looting, enslaving, and killing the American people as they see fit. The globalist media will tell the people how good it is that Trump has been removed and how happy everybody is, and what a good president Biden is. Hitler’s propaganda Minister Goebbels said ‘repeat a lie often enough and it becomes accepted as truth’. Eventually the people will accept what Big Brother social media says and what the globalist broadcast media tells them. Because when they hear the same lie coming from all sources simultaneously it must be truth.

A billion Americans with 40% of them stupid enough to vote for Trump? That would be the end of humanity on this planet.
What is your point? Hilary got 27.1 and Trump got 27.0
@Tessmage Tessera yeah you can tell by all the cities on fire because of systematic racism yet want to vote for a guy thats been involved in the system for how long? Hate all cops they are racists prisons are full of innocent black guys yet want to vote for a v.p that put how many there? Sounds like dem logic.
@DanOgre Smith Dem logic is what led to the historic blue wave of 2018. And you’re going to see it again, in the even more epic blue wave of 2020. Enjoy the show.
@Marcel Bekker What a clueless wonder you are.
Tessmage Tessera let’s hope…. I thought we were going to win last time. Americans have let their country down multiple times since I first voted I for President in 1972.
Great more breeding cattle 1/3 of the population is so stupid it couldn’t find its way out of a paper bag and you want to have 600 million moreWe don’t need to overrun every part of the country every beautiful point that we have with another person
who does that 1/3 support for president?
snell Snell agree. More children = less time and attention per child. – happily child free.
That is not the point of the book
I’d imagine you would have to be pretty desperate to want to move permanently to Trump’s America.
@urbanimage ok soy boy
@Andrew Jackson the True Democrat A bit of projection going on there I suspect.
@urbanimage exactly what a soy boy would say, at lesst you admit youre a snowflake bigot who cant handle freedom and opinions that differ from yours
LMAO what a tonedeaf thing to say… obviously you haven’t been outside your bubble yet. although the homeless situation in california does give America that authentic 3rd world feel
@Andrew Jackson the True Democrat It seems that your comprehension of simple English is a little lacking.
No, Not a good ideal, look at China… 1.4B population, think about the logistic to support that even with American land (young only 200 years of land usage).
Triple our population? Say goodbye to what’s left of our beautiful natural landscape. My guess is this guy has never stepped off the urban sidewalks.
🔴🖤
Whaaa what makes America great,,, our people he said, most ignorant species in the world,, you are your own worst enemy.

We’ve tried “Corporate Socialism”, now we need back Power to the people!!!
@Schuyler Ebbets Oh come on! There’s hardly anyone in the Democratic Party worthy of being called a Democratic Socialist let alone anything more left-wing.
@Schuyler Ebbets ^^^Putin’s puppet says be very afraid!!!
problem is… maga thinks they are the only type of republicans… wallstreet/corporate people are elites. and to them elites are liberals. i truly believe that. i believe they think middle-class equals republicans. they already monopolized (or tried to) the military, religion, and even the 2nd amendment.
@Schuyler Ebbets lol, don’t talk about education when you only repeat the nonsense trump made you believe.
@MyAVidCuration Agree with many points… But what Dims have failed to admit is How Many Democratic “Leaders” are MORE Supportive of STOCKHOLDERS & Lobbyists than America’s Working Class, which they have IGNORED. Trump EXPLOITING them…which they seem to prefer over being Ignored???
Dang. billion people would cost the US free space.

Trump 2020
You want a billion people or you want clean air and water??? Wtf
One billion? That’s insanity. Neverending growth is a failed notion, IMHO.
Agreed, it is insane, what is wrong with these people? I like MSNBC and Joe for some info. But humans are consuming two Earth”s now. We must voluntarily reduce population of the next one hundred years.
In Australia we have similar fools that promote this insanity. The only winner from this would be the business owners that sell the goods and services to the extra population. Most people consume more than they produce. These whack jobs never follow their thought processes to the logical end and wonder what the Earth would become if EVERY nation populated to the max!
We need more people to support the never ending greed of the top one percent.
National greatness is looking after the citizens you now have and they no longer want to go to the US anymore
Agree with investing in people, but one billion? Egad.
ugh, the guy makes some good points but one billion people in this country just sounds really crowded
America would still be sparsely populated with a billion people! You simply have no idea how vast America is! If I were President I’d be welcoming to immigrants. Immigrants are like food to our economy! What??? You didn’t know???
Revenge of Ramen Smith True! Because too many people don’t believe in global warming is real. But if every country has a population like China, this planet can’t handle it!
I’m investing in pet rocks….or as they’re known…republicans!!!!
Yes!
Fight the overpopulation with more kids!
Sounds about right!
I’m amazed people still think as primitively as this guy does. It’s scary.
He said we need more people so they can increase the tax base, heh.
