Trump is an idiot

This is not a good day for me to defend trump

In the past 36 hours he’s talen three wobbly steps backwatd and really let his voters down

First was $6 billion dollars given to mexico and central america to fight poverty

Second he broke his promise to build the wall

And third prison amnesty for uncounted numbers of dirtbags

After all of that I’m speechless and may need a few days to recover

 

Market went way up today before fed said more interest rates were coming. They are purposely driving market down.

 

Filed under long winded TDS rant

 

You seemed confused on whether to laugh or cry. Just trying to help.

 

Don't believe everything you hear in the media. Remain calm.

 

The economy is expanding about as fast as it was in 2014, real wages are going down, job growth is slowing, the deficit is balooning, health care is a mess ... and you say he is "having remarkable success." Is that what Fox News is telling you?

You're like the guy who borrows $30k, sees it in his bank account, and thinks he's rich.

Real wages have gone down since Trump took office...



You, of course, cherrypick the last quarter.

Yeah, sure it is. Just like it did in Syria where he's running away while there are still jihadis running around.

Fox News...

 

They are doing what they are assigned to do. Keep the economy on as even a keel as they can. The economy is close to overheating, so they need to pull in the reigns. And by historical standards, the rates are still a good amount below averages.

 

It's commonly accepted the prior President owns the first year of the next.
How's it lookin?

 

Economy was growing so fast feds started raising interest rates to slow it down and have successfully done so for better or for worse.

Non sequitur response

Inflation is part and parcel of a booking economy.

Last quarter represents slowing economy due to feds raising interest rates so as you complain about a slowing economy you whine about cherry picking last quarter of rising real wages. Pick a story and stick with it.

Another non sequitur

 

If you are asking how next year's looking it's looking good.

 

So now you admit economy was so hot feds had to step in and cool it down.

 

Oh, really. I thought they were forecasting a recession.

 

I'll quote my broker.
I don't know why they are doing this now. Talking about tax cuts.

 

Whatever.

Last year, the Trump FanBoys were saying that the rising stock market and the denuclearization of North Korea proved that Trump was a great President ... time has a way of showing that the Emperor has no clothes.

 

Who's "they"?
"US economic growth is expected to slow from 2.9% to 2.5% in 2019 due to tighter financial conditions and a fading fiscal stimulus, according to Goldman Sachs Research. The forecast also calls for multiple rate hikes as the Fed looks to keep the economy from overheating amid rising inflation and unemployment on a downward trajectory towards 3% by early 2020. For now, neither overheating nor financial imbalances — the classic causes of recessions— appear worrisome, raising the likelihood that the economic expansion remains on track to become the longest in US history in 2019."

You need a new broker

 

Sure did with Obama!

 

Things change quickly in todays world.


What happened to the 6% GDP growth?

 

Nope, He saved me a bundle.
Did you go down with the ship?

 

I wouldn't call him an idiot. He understood a swath of American citizens better than anyone else. He knew exactly what to say and how to say it to whip them up into a frenzy. And he had the stamina to continue that frenzy for a year or more. Indeed, he has maintained that stamina to keep it going, even now.

The idiot part, for me, comes into play in how he is conducting himself as president. His willful ignorance makes him an idiot. And it makes idiots of his supporters for not demanding more from a president.

 

The feds raising interest rates happened to that

 

Ignorance of?

 

I know… Lets fire him. Maybe he can get Yellen back.

 

Classic example of his willful ignorance is his reluctance to sit for briefings. And the fact that they've been dumbed down with pictures and graphs so as to keep his attention.

 

You forgot destabilized the entire middle east, gave the Ukrainians socks like some demented version of Harry Potter, drew numerous red lines that everyone including him routinely ignored. And of course the rest of the world loved Obama they knew that by and large when push came to shove he would cheerfully kiss what ever ass was bared to him.
