    This too is true and we did vote for Trump but still leary of anyone who gets in that house of ill repute, looks like all they worry about is how many foreignrs they can bring into our nation. At the same time our natural resources are dwindling fast. Nobody is talking about it though.Not to speak of the fact foreigners always vote for socialism aka communisim now.I think Trump should have trumped Pelosis offer and called her bluff on they border. to use techical survielance for our border,but his vainess wanted a 'wall' but still he seems better than anyone we had in there in a long time.

    Here’s a fun fact question for ya’ll:
    Which President had the lowest average number of deaths of people who were trying to come through our southern border illegally?
    G.W. Bush
    B. Obama
    D. Trump

    D. Trump.
    Bush averaged 382 per year
    Obama averaged 3% less at 372 per year and
    D. Trump averaged 282 or 26% less.

    @Bobby Cole

    What is the point here? Are we attempting to equate Presidential effectiveness with statistics which are about as predictable as the wind?

    Yup. you guessed it.

    Actually, the stat is a retaliatory comment to a US News and World Report analysis which said that placing stringent border laws and security would result in more deaths.
    In truth, President Trump showed that with more security and abiding by the rule of law decreases the amount of people trying to get to the border from the more southern countries thus decreasing the chance of more deaths.

    In my lifetime (1936---) it was Ike, Ronny, and the Donald, all GOP.

    Not a problem, @Marie Mallery ! Threads get off topic all of the time. When we already have a thread about the off-topic conversation, then we move the off-topic posts to the thread where that is the topic.
    Since we have a thread about socialism/communism; I have moved the off-topic posts to that thread, and we can continue to discuss who we think was our last great president in this thread.

    I like him so far but I wouldn't call him my favorite. It should come as no surprise, but I liked Bill Clinton a lot. Next year I Might Like Biden better than Clinton. And........I'm ducking all the spitballs being thrown my way, try & catch me!

    No spitballs here.
    Clinton had a lot of good attributes but unlike Kennedy and Monroe, he got caught whilst he was still alive and he also got nailed lying to Congress.
    Otherwise, considering the times I can see why a person would favor him.

    And why shouldn't he make money off his assets? So if you had a hotel would you make it into a homeless shelter or charge the highest price you can for the rooms?
    I'm of the AynRand type philosophy and don't see anything wrong with making money or giving it to whom I choose.And prefer all do gooders and their tribes not help me depart from my own labors.Let them give way their own stuff.Of course if that were the case there would be no such thing as welfare just chaity where charity is due.

    No I wanted to but I have listened to many of Ayns speeches and did see the movie which I know the book is always better.
    I came to the conclusion that without the 'greedy' the others would starve.
    I liked the Davey Crocket Story too titled,Not Yours To Give".I had put it up here awhile back but noone seemed interested .
