I notice that the trade deficit with China has grown, not diminished under the Trump administration. How are those tariffs working out for you (and American maufacturing and farmers)? One of those pesky little facts...
Well our economy has sustained at a rate the financial guru Obama said "we'd Never see again", Unemployment is at 3.7%- and manufacturing is expected to outpace the economy in growth. Meanwhile China is experiencing its worst growth rate in 28 years, precisely what the intent was on the tariffs.
Thank you for your sincere concern, we are all, every one of us, touched by it.

Your buddy totally or almost totally nailed it!!
One of the few ways the average American would know & agree with these almost t***hs is by going abroad even if that is limited to say a weekend in Canada ---
There is one minor factual error --- "V****g for Trump" --- The majority of Americans did not!!!

Every American, and I emphasize AMERICAN, does have the right to v**e. But I also have the right to make sure that they have the right................. In my large town, my father has v**ed in the last 2 p**********l e******ns, and he died 12 years ago.......

That used to be the case but now no-one calls round any more, it's all done electronically. You still a licence to watch any TV channels not just BBC.
Sometimes when I say "year" I should say "decade".
My last experience there was @ 1.5 decades ago.
My relative had a small antenna on the roof- with the cable obviously tied up and off.
The BIG one was in the attic.
The tax people had a list of area non-paying addresses, and routinely "visited" them.
All he needed to do was pull off a short cable with push on connectors. The TV was hooked up to a stereo, a DVD and a VCR. With a very large sloppy cable system.

The 15th amendment states that the "right of citizens of the United States to v**e shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude". So when the colonies set a date for their p**********l e******n, the citizens v**e for him. Then the results of that v**e go to each of the colonies' convention and the duly elected representatives from each party cast their party's E*******l v**es for the P**********l race. So by inference, you could say that citizens can v**e for POTUS.

Brother, you are completely clueless.
Article. II.
Section. 1.
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of E*****rs, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an E*****r.
The E*****rs shall meet in their respective States, and v**e by B****t for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons v**ed for, and of the Number of V**es for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and t***smit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the V**es shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of V**es shall be the President

If all this is being submitted to further my education - Thanks but no thanks -- I also went to school -- I only added the information that our current President did not receive a majority of the popular v**e to clarify any misconceptions our British friends my have as how we in the States conduct our democracy
