That video, if I understood it correctly at least, is about obama preserving the russia-trump intel basically by disseminating it through the intelligence community. That doesn't support what you are suggesting....
Listen carefully and then read Nunes' reports. They aren't supposed to be individual pieces of information. She clearly discusses information
unrelated to the fake Russia collusion story. Nunes even mentioned the numerous reports made prior to this "investigation" being that they contained information completely unrelated to any Russia story. They were in fact spying (whatever word you want to use) on Trump and his team and collecting general information on them.
Farkas just wanted
all of the information out there, Russia collusion or not. Of course I'm not sure how heavy the claim is that the Trump Tower was bugged but considering that the FBI won't deny it or comply with the investigation, it is starting to look pretty possible.
As for the letter thing, what? So she got it via spies but it was false? That makes no sense, why would spies provide something false? If there were spies involved then their job would have been to provide truthful information. What is the point of spying only to have them produce false information? Just say that was literally made up. This is every bit as moronic as when trump claims the white house leaks are simultaneously false and illegal. Which confirms the leaks in fact came from the white house... But for some reason they are also false. But if they are false then they are not really leaks, it's just some asshole making stuff up.
It makes perfect sense. She was privy to the information that Trump and his team were being wiretapped/etc for this supposed Russia collusion on the elections (that didn't even, according to them, happen yet), though nothing came of it. The DNC already knew this though, they just wanted a cover story. The reason to mention this is that she was aware of the spying on Trump and his team. The point of providing the tweet is to show that.
And just because a warrant was made does not = guilt. Trump was in fact tapped/spied on, just for false reasons. The information they were seeking simply didn't exist. Still doesn't.
So you're assuming just because they're supposed to be truthful they are and that just because they were put on the witch hunt, they found something legit...?
The things leaked were just names, phone calls, emails. What is false is the supposed collusion connection. Otherwise I request that you show me this damning proof that Trump had Russia hack our elections to make him win. Simply talking to or having business with a Russian does not = guilt despite what some Democrats/MSM would have you believe.
As for trump's effect on the economy: The first thing to consider here is that presidents under normal circumstances do not have an effect on such a thing. Heck, even with obama the greatest effect he could have had is the bailouts. Then wall street went on it's merry way on its own. And even if presidents did have such an effect on the economy 1) it is too soon for trump to have had any even if he had passed ground breaking legislation and 2) the economy has basically the same trend as last year. Wall street has been making record breaking profit for years now. Giving this to trump, who has not even passed legislation meaningful to the economy makes no sense. As for the deals with the companies you mention, most of those have failed. Even the carrier deal already failed in spite of it not being that big a success to begin with. They are relocating anyways. Heck, as far as the deals with companies he talked about, he has done exactly the opposite of what he suggested. Trump said he was going to be tough with companies, that they wouldn't be able to leave without consequence. But when the time comes he offers them tax cuts to stay. And they don't even stay.... Those deals he talked about were never a good way to deal with that to begin with, that is not how you lead a country... Not to mention that the jobs saved by trump with these deals were usually went at the most up to the several thousand jobs. Even though the economy been generating over 150k jobs per month for years now (with some exceptions but it it averages out to about that). Even assuming trump can have an effect on this, he never had a chance of doing so via deals like the carrier thing.... It makes for good pr but that is about it.
"Under normal circumstances". Exactly. Trump's efforts have made an impact. Maybe they are Jesus level big like some Republicans/supporters are making it out to be, but it is an incredible start. One that his predecessor/s couldn't even do or even thought possible. It isn't too soon for Trump's efforts to show either and the impact is nowhere near the same as last year or the years before that. His tax-cutting reforms have made huge impacts even after eight years of economic weakness under Obama. Not even MSM can deny Trump is responsible for this, so why do you say this?
And getting jobs back, making deals that benefit us etc isn't how you lead a country? And which deals failed anyways and how can getting companies to promise hundreds of thousands of jobs be just a good thing for PR and not for the country?
Something worth considering to read:

As for the border thing you are suggesting... None of it makes any sense. Just look up the actual statistics on immigration through the border. The entirety of what trump has said about immigration of mexico he has pulled from the orangest corner of his ass. And if he actually did away with nafta or imposed tariffs on mexico as he claimed he will that only only result in more immigration because the mexican economy would be worst off and mexicans would have more motivation to cross the border. The bulk of what trump says suggests regarding immigration and free trade does not make a shred of sense. FFS the guy talks about the trade deficit with mexico as if he was talking about cash leaving a company. This is not a situation comparable to what businesses go through, the notion of such a thing is astonishingly stupid. So trump is using information he pulled out of his ass to talk about things he in no form or context understands and pushing for policy on that made up information. Good luck with that, totally won't backfire.
I have looked it up. The illegal migration across our border was astoundingly high and flourished even better under a President that allowed it. This migration has caused havoc across our nation as criminals can just walk right over and have done dozens of times to commit heinous acts on legal immigrants and U.S born citizens. Like Kate or all those little girls being brutally beaten and raped by criminal illegals or the children being taken for human trafficking.
And yet immigration is at a low, illegals are being kicked out in waves and there are even illegals self-deporting or trying to migrate to Canada. You say it won't do any good or that it hasn't and yet it has. He may not be able to get Mexico to pay for the wall (but that leaked call made it sound like the Mexican president was considering a talk on how to) but the things he has done, promised and is currently delivering on (the wall, ICE agents actually work etc) have made an significant impact not only on immigration but border security. The lowest seen in nearly 17 years.

Or is that too not able to be credited to Trump? And you are saying it makes no sense, but how? Can you please explain other than insulting him please?
Trump during his campaign basically advocated for universal health care as in other developed nations. However over his presidency so far he has actually pushed for the stuff paul ryan and the freedom caucus came up. Heck, even while pushing for the AHCA trump went out of his way to complement australia's universal health care... Even though Australia's health care system is the complete opposite of what republicans have been pushing for under trump. How does that make a shred of sense? Rather than the stuff trump talked about during the campaign he has been going with the alternative republicans came up with, an alternative made by people who believe it is inherently wrong for the government to provide any form of health care to people. The only thing I can conclude from that is that trump either know what is in the legislation he has been trying to pass or doesn't give a shit. As far as replacements for obamacare go, literally all trump has tried to pass is the most extreme opposite of what he has suggested the US should have. He has been fairly consistent of repealing obamacare however as far as replacements go he has blatantly lied simply because the replacements he has pushed for are the opposite of what he offered. And then he goes on about letting obamacare fail on its own. Even his own party acknowledges such a thing is astoundingly stupid. Obamacare doesn't even work in a way that could happen... And when he got more specific about it, he talked about withholding the subsidies payments which should go to insurers.. Which would indeed throw the marketplaces into chaos and raise premiums... Which means the obamacare failure he describes only happens if trump goes out of his way to sabotage it and take health care from god knows how many people. Trump doesn't know crap about health care. He doesn't have a plan. He never did.
Please back these claims up that he wants what the snake Paul Ryan wants. As far as I have seen from him, he just wants the Republicans to act at this point, which the majority of his voters now want too since it has become clear the platform he ran on would have the Republicans rather kill themselves than ever help achieve. These people are almost entirely incapable of bipartisanship, especially on health care.
He most certainly has a plan. He can't act on it with opposition from the left completely and the right. Scum like McCain and Paul Ryan simply won't let it happen, though Rand Paul has recently suggested Trump may issue an EO about using his platform HC or having Rand improve upon it.
This is the platform he ran on (well not a direct link because I can't find the new gov link. Hope you don't mind a user explaining some of it. Just ignore the user if you want and focus on the bits he quoted). He wants it to at least be the backbone of whatever plan the Democrats and Republicans can agree upon:

I just don't understand how the Republicans can complain about Obamacare for eight damn years and constantly cry for a repeal and NEVER come up with anything if they knew the wouldn't accept it, Trump's suggestions or anything. Talk about incompetent, corrupt morons...
Trump absolutely and repeatedly said he would defeat isis within 30 days with his secret plan. repeatedly. And then when he got into office he ordered his generals to come up with a plan to defeat isis in 30 days.... Not to mention that his "complain" that before they spoke about their plans too much was stupid. I recall him complaining about the announcement of the mosul invasion. The point of the announcement was to prepare civilians for it, to reduce casualties... Which makes perfect sense. And most of the stuff he talks about in this context is equally stupid. And even if it's as you say with trump saying his plan to begin with was to give an order to defeat isis in 30 days... Come on, how is that not astonishingly stupid? The implication here would be that ISIS is a problem because obama did not think of ordering the military to destroy them in 30 days. How do you not feel personally insulted at hearing such an astonishingly stupid thing? It's beyond asinine. Heck, under this logic trump would be a moron, why not just give the order for the military to come up with a plan to defeat isis in 30 seconds? As for bombing the hell out of ISIS as trump said... THE US WAS ALREADY DOING THAT. The criticism that the trump administration is doing quite literally the same as the obama administration is completely valid. The only things that stand out so far are the MOAB, which was ultimately pointless as the world ultimately took that as the US merely putting up a show, and the bombing of the syrian military base... which did not really have that big an effect and otherwise wouldn't have been too unusual during obama's administration either. Ah, I just remembered he also ended the program to arm syrian rebels. Which actually makes sense, the US getting involved in this way in conflicts is historically not a good thing. So that is one point in favor out of... I don't even know how many failures. So basically, trump has in essence merely continued what obama was already doing except for the syrian rebel support and the dramatic increase in civilian casualties. I don't see how any of this amounts to a success for trump.
No he didn't and I encourage you to provide the text and videos of him saying it. I provided you with proof that he did not say he would destroy ISIS in thirty days but that he would demand from Congress within 30 days a plan at defeating ISIS. Again i will quote what he actually said:
"We are going to convene my top generals and give them a simple instruction," Trump said on Sept. 6, "They will have 30 days to submit to the Oval Office a plan for soundly and quickly defeating ISIS."
The above was said at a campaign appearance in North Carolina in September.
Another time in which he said this:
(ii) Within 30 days, a preliminary draft of the Plan to defeat ISIS shall be submitted to the President by the Secretary of Defense.
Sources: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/28/plan-defeat-islamic-state-iraq
He has though said he has a plan, which is is reluctant to share because he doesn't want it to get out/hurt the efforts.
How is Trump saying he will demand Congress to come up with a comprehensive plan by 30 days "stupid"? And no, the implication isn't that Obama "did not think" of ordering the military to kill off ISIS and so it is his problem (though ISIS is his/the U.S problem). The implication is that Obama didn't "do enough" to target ISIS.
I'm well aware the U.S was already bombing them. I don't recall saying otherwise? The presence of some action prior does not mean the action taken was "strong" enough. Trump is going to push harder against ISIS not only with U.S methods alone but is seeking help with allies and other countries, like with trying to improve relations with Russia so we can tack terrorism together. I'm not trying to say Obama did nothing on this matter. I just don't think he did enough and neither does Trump or many of his supporters.
You don't see it as success because you don't
want to....the left is so deranged by Trump that they even tried to call him evil for trying to help Charlie Gard. No matter what Trump does people never credit it to him unless it is something accountable to a failure in their eyes. It was the same way with the right when Obama was in.
