This is the best policy interview I've ever seen President Trump do.

For him to sit and take comprehensive and complicated policy questions from four tech guys, and to answer so easily with zero notes is beyond impressive.

I strongly recommend watching.

In his interview with @theallinpod, President Trump made a number of important comments on Ukraine.

First, Trump guaranteed that if he becomes the next commander-in-chief, he will not put American boots on the ground in Ukraine. If France were to do so, as French President Emmanuel Macron has been advocating for, they would be on their own.

Second, President Trump acknowledged the role of NATO expansion in causing the war:

TRUMP: “So for twenty years, I heard that if Ukraine goes into NATO, it's a real problem for Russia. I've heard that for a long time. And I think that's really why this war started. I'm not sure that this war would have started. Biden was saying all of the wrong things. And one of the wrong things he was saying, “no, Ukraine will go into NATO.” … It's always been understood. And that's even before Putin. It's always been understood that that was a no-no. And now you can go against their wishes, and it doesn't mean they're right when they say that. But that was very provocative, and now it's even more provocative. And… I hear routinely they're now talking about Ukraine entering NATO, and now I hear France wants to go in and fight. Well, I wish them a lot of luck.”

Overall, President Trump demonstrated an understanding of the conflict and how to avoid war with Russia, whereas President Biden continues to escalate us towards WWIII.

[LMAO]

Trump knows what to tell his audience at any moment.  But what he saying today, can change tomorrow

Here’s what Trump said about Ukraine entering NATO in 2015

U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, the brash businessman who has upended the field of Republicans vying for their party’s 2016 nomination, has responded with blunt indifference to Ukraine’s possible membership in NATO.

“I wouldn’t care. If [Ukraine] goes in, great. If it doesn’t go in, great,” Trump said in an interview with NBC on August 16.

Trump has pushed for a weaker dollar

President Trump and his advisers have been talking a lot lately about the strength of the U.S. dollar, saying it’s weighing on U.S. exports and hurting American manufacturers. The President has criticized the Federal Reserve for not doing more to weaken the dollar; he even floated the possibility of taking action himself. As this story develops, here are some things to keep in mind.

But then pivoted

NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Donald Trump may be warming to a strong dollar after years of bashing the U.S. currency's stubborn appreciation.
"It’s a great time to have a strong dollar ... Everybody wants to be in the dollar because we kept it strong. I kept it strong," Trump said in an interview with Fox Business News.

But now blames Biden for a strong dollar

TOPLINE Former President Trump called the U.S. dollar’s new 34-year high against the yen a “disaster” on Tuesday, claiming it would harm U.S. manufacturers and force them to relocate plants overseas—echoing protectionist sentiments after reportedly exploring ideas about devaluing the dollar if he returns to the White House.

Trump also believes in printing money to pay our obligations and has stated in the recent past that we should just keep borrowing and if the economy crashes, we can make a deal

https://money.cnn.com/2016/05/09/news/economy/donald-trump-us-debt/index.html

Now he says the U.S. should just borrow more and renegotiate the terms later.
"I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal," Trump said on CNBC last week.

And


“People said I want to go and buy debt and default on debt, and I mean, these people are crazy. This is the United States government,” Trump told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on “New Day.” “First of all, you never have to default because you print the money, I hate to tell you, OK?”

https://fox2now.com/news/trump-u-s-will-never-default-because-you-print-the-money/amp/







Trump will seek whatever policy helps him explode the deficit the easiest and cheapest. He may tickle RIV’s ears. But his  past statements, his  record, and many of the things that he’s proposing now makes him as much of a threat and chaos as Joe Biden

Trump, like Obama before him and Biden after,and as he did as president before, will continue to use debt as a way to artificially attempt to prop up GDP numbers.

His supporters forget he was president already and we have a record. And now with fiscal and economic conservatives being flushed from the party, they’ll be no stopping him now

Why are you working so diligently for Trump's defeat @LMAO   

[LMAO]

Why are you working so diligently for Trump's defeat @LMAO

These are statements and positions that Donald Trump has taken. I have a hunch you didn’t know any of this that I outlined

For example, do you agree with Trump that we  will never default because we can print our money? This is the position Trump has taken

Do you agree with him that we should just borrow and if the economy crashes, we’ll just make a deal when it comes to the debt? This is a position Trump has taken.


Do you believe in a weaker dollar, or a stronger dollar and why? Trump’s been back-and-forth on this issue so it’s hard to tell what he’s for

I’m curious your position on these issues because these do have an impact


It’s very clear that you don’t really know what you’re voting for. You think you do. But boy, you sure miss a lot.

And this harkens back to the day when you were insisting that it was Donald Trump who came up with a travel  ban From Muslim countries and I had to educate you that that was certainly not the case.


I think you need to get better informed on these issues. Simply getting your information from Trump rallies or TruthSocial hardly makes you an informed person

[Right_in_Virginia]

These are statements and positions that Donald Trump has taken.  [...]

Your reply does not answer my question.

[LMAO]

Your reply does not answer my question.

Your question is a “how long have you beaten your wife” type of question. It’s a snarky question that admits that you know you can’t provide a counterpoint

But I will give you what you deny others, and that is the courtesy of an answer to your question

 I have not said anything in support of Donald Trump’s defeat. If he wins the election, so be it. I’m not voting for either Biden or Trump and I don’t support either of their policies when it comes to economic issues. We’re going to be in a mess regardless who wins so I don’t feel any urgency to work for or against either candidate.
 
On fiscal, economic, trade, and monetary policy, there’s not much of a chasm between Biden and Trump for me to actively work for or against either candidate. It seems many of us on the right are harder on Donald Trump on these issues than Biden is because we expect this from Democrats. We don’t expect the Republican candidate to emulate Democrat policies. This is a complaint “outside the. Beltway conservatives” have had with the Republican party since the era of George W. Bush

You could say I’ve become more gun shy and more judgmental of Republican candidates since the era of George W. Bush

 

Now I have answered your question. I hope you return the courtesy by answering mine. These are some of the political positions and statements that Donald Trump has made and supported. As a dedicated Trumper, it’s very fair to ask if you share that same viewpoints. I’m genuinely interested in your view


I’ll give you a while to formulate a response. Good luck

@Right_in_Virginia

[Right_in_Virginia]

Now I have answered your question.

 

[LMAO]

 
OK, I guess I’m not gonna get the courtesy of an answer to the questions I asked. Kind of unfair because I replied to you.

Not that I was really expecting any. But I thought just for once I might be surprised. But I was genuinely interested in your take on the things I outlined above

Surely you must have a position of whether or not you agree with Donald Trump on a weaker dollar or whether we should just borrow and if the economy crashes,  try to make a deal with creditors.

Or you surely must have some position on the idea of printing money to prevent a default?

None of the above I’m making up. These are all positions taken by Donald Trump.

Many of these issues regarding debt and deficits and trade and monetary policy will have a much longer lasting effect than whether or not Trump’s butthurt gets soothed in November

Your position may be that those long-term fiscal and monetary issues are not as important to you as making sure that Trump’s ego is preserved. And that is  certainly you’re right, although I disagree. But you have to have at least some opinion on these Trump ideas

Your dodging tells me that you probably would disagree with any other candidate who talked like this. But it’s conflicting with your loyalty to Donald Trump

I apologize to all for starting a usual back and forth with @LMAO  and interrupting this thread----- I should have known better.  I will in the future.

Please don't miss this interview.  It is substantive and worth your time ----- even if you choose only the areas of your highest interests.

Thanks.

[LMAO]

I will move on, also

I made my point but it wasn’t the topic of the thread

I’ll save it for a more appropriate thread

My penance for hi jacking the thread will be another donation to keep this fine forum afloat
