Talk:Donald Trump
Peter Mandelson[edit]

This page exaggerates the extremism of the legislation passed during his first term[edit]
While I don't like Trump, didn't vote for him, the bills passed during his first term in office were not extreme relative to prior presidents and his record of materialized extremism seems mostly reserved to his campaign style, public statements, private statements, and prior refusal to leave office. This page would benefit from an actual look at what a small Republican majority and Trump got passed while he was in office, which was basically a few anti-racism bills, bills to expand healthcare to military veterans, investments in sub-saharan Africa, menial agency coordination bills, fishery legislation, and his (or perhaps more accurately, time will tell, his advisors) Keynesian approach to deficits. Had there been a larger Republican majority it is likely the legislation would have been more extreme, but that was not the case. I would argue that Reagan and Clinton's terms were much, much more extremist in legislation passed. 108.44.242.138 (talk) 12:19, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
It's also not really clear what actual legislative positions Trump holds beyond vague anti-illegal-immigration sentiments that he didn't really act on much last term. He flip-flops on nearly every issue constantly. 108.44.242.138 (talk) 12:37, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Should we bring up his prompting of the Gaza ceasefire in the "Rare moments of sanity" section?[edit]
One of the many things Biden undeniably and definitely the worst thing he did was being rampantly zionist and aiding Israel's Gaza genocide by being complicit in aiding them with weapons and money as well as not prompting a ceasefire. While Trump very much doesn't give af about Palestianians and is pro-Israel, though not to Biden's extent, he did manage to talk to Netanyahu into agreeing to a ceasefire. It should be clarified that he's probably only doing this to use as a tool and "gotcha" moment against progressives by saying "See? I stopped a war" but still, the fact that Trump was able to demand a ceasefire while Biden didn't, probably should be brought up as a small positive on Trump's part.

- While that was already quite shady and questionable. Today he called for "cleaning out" (not cleansing? sounds scarily close) Gaza and for Jordan and Egypt to host basically exiled Gazans. Is it that trivially evil?--5.77.81.62 (talk) 17:44, 26 January 2025 (UTC)
