I am not American, I'm from Norway, Europe.

I have never understood why americans voted for Trump - twice ! In my view he is a narsissistic bowl whose only purpose in life is to serve himself, himself and himself over and over again. To make such a person the most powerful man on this planet is simply ..... sorry, I have no words.

So many things to critisize him for, but let me restrict it to the tax topic of this discussion now. He has this insane idea in his head that skyhigh taxes will make America great again. But will it? Of course not. The rest of the world is laughing at America. These insane taxes will trigger a trade war that nobody - NOBODY - will benefit from. Escpecially not the vast number of humans in USA living in or near poverty.

It will only make countries enemies, people unhappy and economics unstable. And guess what? Trump even use taxes for political reasons! Trying to force other countries to dance after his pipe. And this man a lot of christians in US voted for? I have no words. No words.


You must be swallowing the lies from the goats on the left.
Nowhere do you mention seeking the guidance of the Creator to understand world events, we are to take ALL THINGS to Him FIRST and receive His guidance.
No wonder you don't understand, if we deny truth from the Father we live in the confusion of the adversary.
 
I have no idea if Trump is or was a Christian, however, Trump Tower was built as a temple to Baal. There is ample evidence that he is in the occult.

ZNP: I am no fan of Mr Trump, as you might have observed. However, if he is in the occult, I do not believe so until I see hard evidence. Is this point from me a credit to Mr Trump? Of course not. It's a credit to having a critical and sceptical sense, seeking truth through hard evidence and not believing any claim posted. Is that a wise attitude? I think so.

If we adopt this way of thinking wider, we should be equally sceptical to the claim that Ms Clinton is part of an occult organisation offering children to Satan. I know some americans believe in these theories. But no evidence is available, there's only claims. So because of lack of evidence, we have to dismiss these claims.

Likewise, some folks (in fact, a lot of folks, including Mr Trump) claim that the election in 2020 was "stolen" thus illegal. Yet again: Where is the evidence? No hard facts have been presented, it's only a conspiracy theory. If you don't believe me, please google and try to find a court in the US giving the conspiracy theorists right. You will not find it. So today's president is a conspiracy theorist. Something to reflect upon ?

Conclusion: Be sceptical, be critical to your own thinking and other people's claims. Demand proof. Be especially critical to the sources people present to you: Is this a good or a bad source?

Good luck, ZNP.

Is there a Creator of this universe? If you think so - can you document the existence of this creator ?

Conclusion: Be Norwegian. Have respect for other countries' cultures, politics and traditions besides your own especially since you don't understand them because you speak leftist talking points.

that is because you think there is a gray area.
 
The two-party system has a stranglehold on the country. As long as people keep accepting the "lesser of two evils" approach in US politics it will just be more of the same . . . more evil.
 
This brain gas was tough to pick an emoji for, definitely not helpful, useful, likeable, agreeable.......this seemed the best:sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep:

He promised to care for His Own, I know of none who know Him in relationship who are in lack.
We seek HIM FIRST in all things, God keeps His promises.
Background on what led to this would be a help.
Keeping up intercession for she and all.

Day after day we both argue which of us has the biggest dog and in our pride neither of us will admit we both have a Chihuahua. Our own pride is what stands out. God please have mercy on us and our pride.
 
Trump... I'm all about law and order

Also I'm going to pardon the January 6th insurrectionists and try to prosecute my political opponents

LOL did you actually watch the video........LOL It was made in the 1st quarter before the tariffs even went into effect and the video says they are moving because corporate taxes are to high.

In fact under the video in the info about it it lists the reasons the companies are moving.

"In this eye-opening video, we uncover the top 10 U.S. companies relocating their operations to Canada in 2025. From tech giants to manufacturing leaders, these corporations are crossing the border—and the reasons behind their move might surprise you. 📉 What’s driving this 2025 business exodus?
Lower corporate tax rates in Canada 💸
Favorable AI and fintech regulations 🤖
Skilled labor and R&D incentives 🧠
Green energy policies and ESG goals 🌿
Political and economic uncertainty in the U.S. 🏛️"

You ought to catch the speeches of Pierre Poilievre since he has been keeping a running tally of the billions that are leaving Canada for the US an using it to smack around the carny.

So anyway your video is not on tariffs at all so is this a mistake by you because you don't understand the difference or an attempt at blatant deception?
Neither. The facts flew over your head

Meanwhile Norway is the 5th most expensive country when it comes to sales tax since it charges 25%. Nothing like popping off about taxes when you rank in the top 5 for a category......LOL

I understand there has been vast mineral deposits in the South of Norway, was it Potash?
That should fix them up for centuries
