    that aint' a platitude that is an observation based on trump's words and actions. As for examples it obvious you are not remaining current or you'd know that there are many many examples of trump interfering in various criminal trials and of course the mueller investigation itself.

    It must be wonderful to wander around knowing what you know and not giving a damn about what you dont.

    G you believe in economics wow. You believe in the nations security wow
    you believe we should have a foreign policy wow you believe trade wow
    Talk about a generality. I have to laugh when people like you say you believe in the welfare of US citizens first and you are usually the first people against helping the poor in our own country

    He didn’t turn millions into billions or is that what he says? No wonder we don’t see his tax returns. He also declared bankruptcy time after time. He had failing businesses and bought a hotel in New York for $hundreds of million, paid more than he should have and then declared bankruptcy a few years later, hurting so many people. ..like his losing casino in Atlantic City. Trump sure knows his base

    So, no... you don't have any examples of your platitudes.

    Got it.

    And you are privy to these bankruptcy filings how?

    His father gave him a loan of a million dollars. He is now worth billions. Sorry that's inconvenient for your hatred.

    Note that I was responding to Jonsa's argument that perhaps he was, and that I said it was "possible" - not "likely". But hey, whatever eases your irrational and emotional hatred of any who you think disagree with you.

    Course that small million dollar loan was followed in a couple of years with an inheritance of $400 million. simply putting it in blue chip stocks would have resulted in being worth more than he claims he currently is.

    amazing what you can do with almost a half billion in cash and properties. I bet even you could turn it into billions over a period of 30 or 40 years.

    I believe in the power of economic growth to raise the standard of living for all which progressively helps the low income earners. Obamanomics produced pathetic economic growth A great many people thought that we never got out of the recession.

    The D’s certainly don’t care about the welfare of US citizens. The middle class is shrinking, life expectancy is going down, young US citizens have decided not to have kids because they are too expensive, and ~ 80K US citizens die from opioid addiction. The only thing the D’s care about are those here illegally.

    Trump is doing more for the poor than Obama ever did. What did Obama do about the most important civil right going forward ?? The right to a good education. For example he cut back on the voucher system in DC because the D’s care more about the welfare of teachers than low income students whose only way out of poverty is a good education.

    It’s Okay. I understand the lashing out when it becomes obvious that the D’s have done nothing to help the poor. Their policies have failed.

    Just pointing out the failure of the D party agenda based on placing the welfare of non citizens above the welfare of US citizens and zero sum identity politics.

    No just spouting more partisan bumperstickers. And as for playing zero sum identity politics, nice trumpian projection or have you not been following your dear leader's words and "negotiating" style.

    Incompetent , dishonest people can also be articulate. That shpouldn't even be an issue.
    Do you feel that Trump has not had any accomplishments since becoming President? And, btw, you don't seem to be particularly articulate.

    Not a personal attack at all. Just questioning your own claims and you can't seem to support them. Do you need more time?

    That's a post riddled with bumper sticker cliches while not making any points on the subject at hand. Heal thyself.

    He owns properties all over the world, has many successful businesses plus a beautiful family who are all really doing well. Those who have worked for him have nothing but good things to say.

    How does your life compare?

    Have you any evidence that the poster, or anyone else, is against helping the poor in the country?

    Just wait until next year and the release of his actual worth and holdings (by country), even TrumpHumpers will have a hard time explaining or excusing.

    My expectations, based on the data currently available as well as convictions and investigation turncoats is a mixture of money laundering, tax evasion, fraud, campaign finance violations and perjury amongst other issues. The initial question of collusion will be addressed with charges that actually exist in the legal system as collusion does not.

    So, as in this Mueller investigation, there is no evidence of any crimes. This, as per your own words, and those of every leftist, will just lead to another ongoing Witch Hunt. In fact many more, if Democrats are to be believed.

    Is all of this good for the country or should elections determine who and what the people want?
