    lol, how about he donates all the money he is taking from the taxpayers which makes his salary look like peanuts, don't be fooled

    one of the reasons he won't release his taxes is cause of his lack of charity I am betting

    i do all those things myself, I make good money but I still can't afford to hire tradesmen. Andi I don't dare hire Mexicans, they don't have insurance and so could ruin me with a liability suit.

    Trump's base is white nationalists and little else at this point. Even the 401K crowd is scared of what he might be doing to the stock market

    Tradespeople aren't ignorant rednecks, and therefore Trumpers, that is an elitist stereotype. Trump and his Toadies will be kicked to the curb in 2020.

    I was teaching my 27 YO friend to weld today, he operates heavy equipment for a living and most arrogant liberals would brand us both "redneck" Not sure what your post has to do with saying most Trump supporters are "White Nationalist". We will both re elect our President.

    You pave your own driveway and fix your own AC?

    And I'm retired, but can afford these things because my 401K has done so well.

    They aren't ignorant rednecks (well not all of them, the pavers, maybe) but they are Trumpers as you would know if you interacted with any.

    I interact with them all the time. They're not all Trumpers by a long shot. Lots of tradespeople really resent being stereotyped as backward conservatives, which I think all you Trumpers are going to find out in 2020

    My driveway was paved just last year, Nice guys generally. I had never realized paving was actually its whole branch of engineering, though I guess with the importance of roads to civilization I should have.

    Why do you interact with them "all the time" if you are not hiring them?

    And it is liberals who stereotype them as backward. A conservative doesn't view conservatives as backward.

    Are they really going to vote for people they resent?

    AC's are not as difficult as people think. I have repaired my driveway. I do these things myself because i have the time and am a penurious miser, not because I have to.

    How will you feel about your 401k when the inevitable crash comes?. I know, you'll blame it on Obama, or maybe Hillary.

    I've met quite a few at Resistance meetings. They resent people like Trump, rich fat cats who prattle on about how they love the common man and screw him constantly in favor of the bosses and themselves. They're not stupid, like Trump seems to think, they see what he's doing.

    Not me. Fixing a toilet is the utmost limit of my Joe Homeowners ability.



    I will shrug. The crash is inevitable. Always has been and always will be no matter how often they outlaw the business cycle. There really is no point in assessing blame. At least I won't have lost the money I spent on fixing the roof, resurfacing the driveway, etc.

    I've lived through enough ups and downs of the market to be inured to both sides. I don't get too happy when it goes up or too despondent when it goes down.

    That is not a random sample.

    No doubt you have one, taken by Newsmax some other unimpeachable source.

    I think scientific sampling is a little more involved but who cares. We'll see in 2020

    Not really. Picking random numbers out of the phone book is a popular method, or was back when there were phonebooks

    "Resistance" meetings? How are they resisting? What have they changed in their lives in order to bring about the change they seek?

    You do realize that not everyone is either a Trumper or an anti trumper, right. Some people approve of some -- but not all -- things he does. The virulent anti Trumpers here seem to think voters must love or hate everything he does and says. It's ridiculous.

    Many sociopaths do “unselfish things” for selfish reasons.
