Trump won the rust belt by promising to return manufacturing jobs back to the US and put workers back at work. While he can bully people to do manufacting in the US to sell to the market can he bully them not to automate? Anyone with a keen eye on tech can tell AI is getting to a place where some of the jobs people hoped would come back will be taken up.

All valid points but there is a reason why the Midwest (rust belt) overwhelmingly voted Trump in. It might seem that manufacturing days are over and AI might be the future whichever way you look at it, but that would be a disaster not only for the rust belt but for most of middle income working class America.

This is the very reason people voted for Trump. He is quirky and outlandish enough to actually bring manufacturing back to America and put thousands of disenchanted Americans back to work even if it means soliciting bailouts from anywhere and everywhere.

A lot of people are silently putting their trust and hopes on Trump to bring back their source of livelihood that once made the rust belt flourish and made its people very progressive. They believe he can find a way and I actually also do believe too that he is such an unconventional politician who doesn't care much about politics as long as he delivers what he promised. Which in a twisted way is actually how leaders are supposed to be. Trump only cares about America and a lot of Americans are starting to get on board with his controversial ideologies.

He is already planning on building the border wall as promised, he is kicking out Muslims, deporting illegals enmasse, looking for ways to repeal Obama care, pretty much already doing everything that he promised. It's not a stretch to think this guy can somehow bring manufacturing back to the States which was one of his prominent promise.

Honestly, if he can pull that off successfully, he might go down as one of the most beloved president and will win reelection in a landslide. The Midwesterners need Trump to give them back their dignity and if he somehow does it, it won't matter what the liberal States do in the next election because Midwesterners will vote him back to the last man.

Those manufacturing jobs are a big big big deal to Americans especially in the crucial rust belt states which is usually where the elections are won or lost.

Trump might be outrageous to some but not everyone thinks so.

Exactly. Most alphas are big assholes. From Michael Jordan to Kobe Bryant to Ronaldo to Trump etc, but it's human for people to follow those we deem to be alphas.

Trump only cares about America and Americans and I don't know why am starting to agree with him. Immigrants want to come to America and have it their way but when somebody stands up for Americans then he is a bigot? Am still not sure Trump is not doing the right thing.

He can bring back manufacturing but he cannot bring back jobs.

Us manufacturing is at an all time high but look at the jobs. They are all going to robots. Telling coal miners that they will be going back to mining ni Urongo mtupu.

The man sold fake university degrees to the same fellas in the rust belt.

How you expect the king of bankruptcy to create jobs is something that I'm waiting to see.

In the first 100 days, he has lied every day...Expecting this fella to do anything of importance is like expecting to see Alphdoti in a church near you.

The good news is that the election of Trump was largely issue based not tribe based or race based or religion based. In fact a lot of people who voted Obama in 2012 voted for Trump in 2016. Of course there were some race and religiouus issues as well. But that wasn't the key.

The bad news is that trump lied through his teeth to get elected and is still lying. He cannot bring manufacturing jobs or mining to the level they used to be, no matter how quirky he is.

Deporting illegals will raise wages for people like plumbers and other laborers but it will take its toll on the pocketbooks of the middle class. So now if you have a plumbing problem and you want to hire a plumber, you will be paying $100 per hour for labour. People will go broke and eventually stop spending. This will slow down the economy.

The other bad news is that trump is good at fooling people with smoke and mirrors. He recently claimed that he was going to rescue Christians is Syria. No such thing will happen but it got him good publicity in some circles.

He recently enacted a law that allows coal companies to dump waste into rivers. He says deregulation will bring back coal jobs. In fact deregulation will result in higher profits for coal companies bigger bonuses executives and very few new jobs. Coal job losses are due to automation and cheaper alternatives like natural gas. Deregulation will not bring back jobs. Again he is lying to the gullible public.

He recently made a big deal about the fact that he was going restart the keystone XL pipeline to bring back jobs. Only about 30 permanent jobs will be created by the pipeline. Most of the benefit goes to executives in terms of bigger bonuses.

We've been here before. During the Reagan and Bush years there was a lot of deregulation and tax cuts. Only the very wealthy truly benefited.

Sci-fi movies have really feed to us with dystopian nonsense - those flicks never paint a rosy future for us and robots - right? We have been conditioned into conceptualizing how bad things can go when robotics and AI go rogue! Now back in reality, this company called Boston Dynamics has been working on some interesting hardware - check this out - It's impressive! humans are finally getting what they always wanted - a bunch of slaves that they can control and pay nothing!

but it gets scarier and scarier! at one point i started wondering... what if this thing had some strong AI behind it? time to have the 3 rules of robotics as a fundermental part of robotics.

Lotsa simplistic reasoning going on here.

Anti-Trump forces pretending to have believed Trump after the fact of his election and are now keeping themselves busy tracking what he said as if they had faith in him to begin with.

Different folk had different reasons for favouring him over his opponent.

Some felt disgusted with the previous presidents party that has become more focused on supporting radical, controversial cultural experiments than serving as watchdogs against government abuse of power - which ideally should be their forte. Case in point is their obsession with the transgendered bathroom dictates for men who suddenly "identified" themselves as being females as if suddenly everybody forgot there are sexual predators walking among people. Then fighting the local Wal-mart over it!

By the way, congratulations to the president for overturning that!

Compared to the previous democrats who at least played a some role in ending a war in far away Vietnam for instance, where are we with the current anti-trump crowd?

I think I actually said this before the elections... what i could never figure out was why some Africans were pro-Trump and yet MAGA is totally disadvantageous to us. Of course there those guys who keep on looking at the watch and shouting Maranatha! Those I can see why... the rest... sioni what advantage Trump's policies have to the rest of black trumpsters in Africa.

Many pro-trump supporters everywhere and even here on Wazua are missing the point. There are many jobs in the US even in the rust belt areas. The problem is that many of the old school mzungu's just don't want to accept competition. What they are asking Trump to return is inefficient production techniques that allows them to work at 50% and earn 100%. The only problem is that consumers (including Americans) want value for money, which they are getting from products originated from China, Korea and India and other efficient producers.

The many jobs available and which they don't want to perform are routinely lapped up by immigrants, the income the immigrants earn is enough for them to live sustainably, pay their taxes, raise families and even save some for sending back home. The Mzungu on the other hand is not willing to work for the same wage because its not enough to eat out and splurge on wine on a daily basis. Wacha waumie, the jobs are not coming back whether they like it or not.

P.S. That line of Alphas are a**eholes is completely false. Obama, Mandela, Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet are all Studs yet they are all at the same time very nice and polite human beings.

Athletes like Jordan and Kobe have to be aggressive because theirs is a physical sport, which requires them to dominate other equally aggressive males. Remember they also happen to peak in their profession while in their 20's and early 30's when one would argue that they are not mentally mature like every other person their age. They are not A**eholes as you guys are trying to put it, so don't compare Trump with them. Trump is an 80 year old man with the benefit of many years of experience but who has learnt little from that.

Many pro-trump supporters everywhere and even here on Wazua are missing the point. There are many jobs in the US even in the rust belt areas. The problem is that many of the old school mzungu's just don't want to accept competition. What they are asking Trump to return is inefficient production techniques that allows them to work at 50% and earn 100%. The only problem is that consumers (including Americans) want value for money, which they are getting from products originated from China, Korea and India and other efficient producers.

One good thing about the trump presidency is that people will get a dose of reality. Economic populism has been tried in several places most recently in Argentina in 2010 where the president mandated that all goods sold in Argentina must be made in Argentina. It worked for about 2 years and the president became very popular. But things started to fall apart and left the country in deep recession.
