I can see why some tire of celebrity endorsements of political campaigns (or the exact opposite, as in this case) but they appear to have been around for as long as I've been born. Bush, Romney and McCain certainly were - I'd imagine it's been going since the 50s.
For all of his whipping up of anti-establishment support, I can't understand what the alternative is that Trump brings to the table. Is he impervious to corporate backhanding and media luvvies? Was he not himself a host of Saturday Night Live last year? Has he not done a roast? It doesn't quite have the same effect: trashing the media for rigging it against you and yet feeding off of it.

deniro is an uber legend, the greatest movie actor of all time , a man I love. BUT on this rare occasion I dont agree with him or the way he delivered his message. He seems to be pandering to the liberal politically correct hollywood elite, which surprises me as hes spent a lifetime playing incredible, brave and unique roles of mavericks and underdogs.

Can someone please tell me one or two policy ideas of Donald Trump to warrant any support? Not trying to troll just trying to understand the other side.

![]() Especially considering Trump is lowering the taxes of big corporations by over half- which will be the death of small businesses. On the immigration policy you can't say his is superior --> Calling Syrian refugees "unknown people" when we know what exactly they are searching for which is safety Also the home grown jobs being all industrial assembly line work is not going to do much for the lower-middle class Americans |

Rebuilding the industries
His plan is extremely vague and not even a clue as to funding it, he seems to think he can just "do it". "I'm gunna build 20 million new factories y'all!" Increasing tariffs on chinese steel His idea being that this will revive American steel. In reality it'll just make most large projects involving steel unaffordable. e.g. the above factories. Raising taxes on those taking american jobs abroad Again, sounds like a positive but he's offered nothing on how this would actually be implemented or how this would actually work. He also assumes blindly that it will result in more "American jobs for Americans" - rather than the entire companies simply relocating. reducing government red tape on small businesses This is designed to benefit people who are already multi-millionaires. "Small" does not mean your local take-away owner. At the same time it also essentially means reduced regulation / more shady and underhanded business tactics making things worse for the average worker. spending more on war veterans This is a simple buzz-policy. Most people have a war vet in their family or at least know one. A policy purely designed for public opinion. Great if he actually does it, but essentially it's little more than a relatively inexpensive popularity boost. protecting the borders against criminal illegal immigrants entering Will cost a fortune and have little to zero practical effect. He won't stop illegal immigration or even reduce it by more than a few %. Another vanity project for people to dribble over. Tax breaks for american businesses who remain in the usa and reduce their regulation to help them grow home grown jobs. See above. This will benefit people who are already millionaires, whilst damaging working conditions for employees. to stop supplying weapons to so called rebels we dont even know across the middle east when the weapons often end up in the hands of ISIS Again, whilst this would be great (if every country would it it), in reality it's just "buzz politics" and will have little to zero practical effect. The terrorists will still be armed, the policy will change absolutely nothing, other than being able to say "Well it's not us arming them". Of course it's the right thing to do but it isn't going to "improve America" or the world in any practical way, only morally. |
