Apparently the media aren't interested in him when things are going right.
And in a bit to protect America's steel industry he placed a tariff on Chinese steel. Both of these lessons should be learnt by our own government who over the years have favoured an open door policy with our borders, and allowed foreign investment and cheap imports to decimate our industries.

It makes me wonder who actually runs this country, and even if the media don't run the country, they make it almost impossible for those that do with their lefty propaganda....It comes as no surprise that both Boris and Trump have had altercations with the media.

And, Finland is its own country, at least last I looked at the current status of facts. Relations with another country do not make you a part of that country....ever. We have had relations with the UK, yet we are separate. Agreed?
Facts are just that....facts.

Re: Trump is toast
Trump may not be wonderful, but he has done two things that have impressed me -Stood up to North Korea
Stood up for his own country - a rare thing among western politicians - despite the efforts of the lefty - liberal - handwringers to undermine his every move

.
The administration has been slower to build new barriers where none currently exist, primarily because those spans require the acquisition of private land. Even with the slated construction goals, most of the southern border will not have a man-made barrier.
Just yesterday, our Supreme Courts have rules that Trump cannot use the Military funds he wanted to dip into for this wall.....obviously, Mexico never gave us one penny for it, even though Trump promised in his campaign that Mexico would pay for the whole thing. Another brag he never could deliver on, but his followers still believe everything coming out of his mouth.

Re: Trump is toast
Ohh, the poor baby! Things are just too difficult for him to work through??Most of our former presidents had demanding issues to deal with despite not have either the House or the Senate backing their party (Trump's own party rules the Senate but still can't get resolutions passed). And yet, they didn't whine and put blame ...every single time....on former running candidates, the opposite party in past years: they dealt with the crisis, stood up and owned if they made a good or bad decision, owned the outcome. Trump won't take blame for anything....not even the drips on his shirt because he couldn't control his tongue circling his ice cream cone!
