How do you know what Trump believes ? Expand We dont , you right We only know that over 100 Conservative thinktanks have come up with there own Conservative policies and views that they want Trump to implement And yet Project 2025 for some reason seems to get the most attention and then there is obvious misinformation about how significant there specific policies are to Trump and Trump and his campaign have distanced themselves from this but yet people keep raising this. I heard the same thing today on one of our talk shows where the talk show host said " Trump is going to follow Project 2025 ideology " " I know nothing about Project 2025. I have not seen it, have no idea who is in charge of it, and, unlike our very well received Republican Platform, had nothing to do with it. The Radical Left Democrats are having a field day, however, trying to hook me into whatever policies are stated or said. It is pure disinformation on their part. By now, after all of these years, everyone knows where I stand on EVERYTHING!

Malcador Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Well, Project 2025 is kind of wacko - I still am puzzled as to what giving public school kids the ASVAB is supposed to really accomplish - so that's what people are concerned about it. Given Trump is an inveterate liar, people discount his denials, which makes sense. Remember, all he has to do is get votes, once he's in, no backsies. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

Exceptions for individuals who are already predisposed to require medical treatment (for example, HIV positive or suffering from gender dysphoria) should be removed, and those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service. Expand Heh. Also down the list they complain about "Marxist indoctrination" Not replacing the SAT, just want to give high schoolers the ASVAB to help with recruitment. Only public schools though. From what I've read over the years, people in the US don't want to enlist as the job sucks so to speak. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

Expand It's not a requirement in High School in California (nor is the SAT test). You don't usually take it unless you've met with a recruiter for service. You only have to take the SAT's if you want to get in to certain colleges. It has become less important in the last decade, although it seems to be making a comeback. The SAT is a **** test, btw. It isn't a good indicator of the modern skills students need to succeed today. It is outdated and fails to really measure cognitive ability. It does not hold up to Bloom's taxonomy. I have no idea how the ASVAB does in that regard. I hear it is better.

He's favoured a bit by having Trump as a comparison and so looking a lot more, hmm, normal in pretty much every respect but he seems to have done his best over a very long time period and despite a lot of stuff which would have given others serious issues. He's also one of the few US politicians who seemed pretty genuine rather than just sculpting everything for politics, though that may mean he was just better at sculpting than most. The only major criticism I can think of offhand for his presidency- beyond the institution/ systemic ones they all suffer from- was the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Which had a lot of mitigation given it was a Trump era deal and the failures that lead to that collapse started 20 years earlier but still, having the government not even last up until departure time was Bad even if it was likely inevitable whatever the schedule for leaving. 1
