He does have a pleasant tone, doesn't over-react, and has the charm, charisma, and good looks to succeed. My biggest pet peeve with his videos is that he scratches his nose almost every time--he may not be aware that he does so.
Anyhow, since he is a Texas-based blogger I've made an effort to promote him and I've noted that his subscriber base on YouTube is increasing steadily on YouTube. He did get some play on the larger blue channels like Meidas Touch so the prospects of him continuing to do this work appear positive.

(5,125 posts)tRUMP is the one who REALLY ADMIRES the way things go in a ONE PARTY SYSTEM.
He was so impressed with Kim Jong un with his little CHALLENGE to US with nuclear missile testing. tRUMP is the FIRST sitting US President to EVER meet with a North Korean Dictator. Because the US policy has ALWAYS been to not give dictators that kind of legitimacy, especially ones who randomly line people up and shoot them for no apparent reason.

But it was the summit with Donald Trump in Singapore in June 2018 that made history, as Kim Jong Un became the first North Korean leader to meet a sitting U.S. president a feat neither his father nor his grandfather achieved.

The Trump administration is resuming its efforts to deport certain protected Vietnamese immigrants who have lived in the United States for decadesmany of them having fled the country during the Vietnam War.
This is the latest move in the presidents long record of prioritizing harsh immigration and asylum restrictions, and one thats sure to raise eyebrowsthe White House had hesitantly backed off the plan in August before reversing course. In essence, the administration has now decided that Vietnamese immigrants who arrived in the country before the establishment of diplomatic ties between the United States and Vietnam are subject to standard immigration lawmeaning they are all eligible for deportation.

In their letter, the 22 lawmakersall Democratic members of the House of Representatives acknowledged that many young Vietnamese refugees, upon arrival in the United States, were resettled in struggling neighborhoods without support or resources to cope with significant trauma from the [Vietnam] war.
As a result, some made mistakes that funneled them into the criminal justice system, they wrote in the letter, a copy of which was seen by The Atlantic.
They added that the refugees have completed their time and are now positively contributing to their communities. Deporting them, the lawmakers said, would return the immigrants to a country they are not familiar with. They urged the Trump administration to honor the humanitarian spirit and intention embodied in the current agreement.

Claim: Many Vietnamese Americans believe that former vice president Joe Biden and the Democrats broadly opposed the arrival of Vietnamese refugees to the United States.
Rating: This claim is FALSE. Over 80% of all Democrats in Congress, including Biden, voted to pass major legislation that allowed the second wave of Vietnamese refugees to resettle in the US in the 1980s. Notably, Democrats introduced the bill in both houses of Congress and a Democratic President signed it into law. In contrast, Republicans in Congress supported the bill at a lower rate of 70%. The majority of those who voted against the bill were Republican.
