Like the GDP growth dropping or the $1,000,000,000,000.00 (1TN) deficit he will run this year? Or the recession warnings that are occurring especially the inverted treasury yield? Or the farm bailout for permanently lost exports due to the easy to win trade war?
Three things undermining economic confidence the trade deals, the up coming elections and will the Democrats take back more power and whether the Democrats will tie up the government and the country with a bogus impeachment. Consumer spending is historically strong it's business investment that is lagging and that is on the Democrats and their announced plans to rescind the tax rrate cuts and come after businesses and investments.
So the economy is trumps when it is good (even though it has largely followed trend lines until recently) but democrats when it’s bad because people are terrified of them democrats... Yes, that makes sense.
The economy is not bad what are you talking about. We could use more confidence for the future get businesses to commit more investment as they did last year. As long as the Democrats are running on turning us socialist, putting the country through an impeachment, huge tax rate increases that confidence will not build else explain how it will.
He might as well be Hitler, but that is still just his aspiration. He may or may not end up dictator. But I expect him to do everything he can to subvert the Constitution and claim power. He may well declare martial law over some trump-created crisis.
Rate Trump I rated him as "one of the worst," but actually feel he is "the worst," which was not a choice that was offered. I feel this way for numerous reasons, including his habitual lying, his arrogance, his self-righteousness, his habit of making national decisions that affect millions of Americans based solely on how that decision affects his personal bank account; his sickening treatment of our long-term friends & allies; his open infatuation with all autocratic leaders irrespective of their past relations with us; and on, and on, and on.
He is tackling the same type of corruption that President Lincoln and J. F. K. went up against but doing it in such a way that it will end differently with him...... Not perfect, but still the best president ever.
President Trump is facing a formula for a BEAR market..... that is very different from what we are used to...... Back in 2014 CIA economist Mr. Jim Rickards explained what President Trump is up against.......... and I am so glad that Hillary did not get the chance to deal with this set of circumstances because it would have been really bad for those who she considered to be "Deplorables." I've listened to this analysis over and over again..... word has it that President Trump had quite a fight on his hands over these last three years to get set up for truly fixing the heart and core of this potentially massive problem. FORGET IRAN, IRAQ, UKRAINE THIS IS WHERE WWIII STARTS... Responding to a BEAR market vs a Bull market? The wealthiest one hundred families of all this world hired economists, stock brokers and lawyers to create seven hundred and ten TRILLION dollars worth of Derivatives which have been compared to poker chips which they use to play the markets much like a gambler plays in Vegas. His gathering up those involved in Human Trafficking is a brilliant opening gambit against the people who have the ability to arrange for the creation of Derivatives! That number is verified just after the fifteen minute minute mark in that audio video by Jim Rickards. For the record...although the creation of Derivatives snowballed under President Obama the foundation for that problem began even before he became President. A Brief History of Derivatives
I voted that he's 'doing OK'. I'd be happier if he'd keep his mouth shut a hell of a lot more than he does, and that he would stop having such over-the-top reactions to everything. Hey, Mister President -- hasn't anyone told you yet that Twitter is a low-brow, low-intellect cattle-pen for generally shallow people -- and those who want to manipulate them...?! I also want him to SEAL THE BORDER SHUT TO ALL IMMIGRATION and proclaim an immigration MORATORIUM for an initial period of five years. Economically, the jury is still out. Yeah, unemployment is down to the lowest levels since 1969 (when I was young!), and the stock market is booming. BUT, he does this by continuing to use the same "fraud-balloon" techniques that the Fed used for over ten years, with endless supplies of non-existent, cheap money, at microscopic interest rates. Plus, now he's gotten into a REAL 'pissing-match' with China, and I'm not sure he's going to win this trade war. The Yuan has gone over the "seven-to-one" tipping point, and American consumers are going to 'take it up the ass' -- not businesses or corporations. The big companies will probably even use the tariffs as an excuse to jack prices up even HIGHER, and at the same time American money will be shovelled out onto the world markets at near-ZERO percent interest rates? That will never work as a tactic to 'break' China -- not now! Still, even though he could do with a few lessons in "charm school", he's vastly better than a doctrinaire, corrupt, STOOPID moron like Hillary Clinton. And THAT was the choice we had in 2016 -- Trump, or Hillary. We couldn't have John F. Kennedy, or Ronald Reagan, or anybody of that quality. We had Hillary, or Trump. I chose Trump, and, will almost certainly do so again (*Sigh!*).
I am mystified by your support of Trump. I have enjoyed many of your posts, & have been impressed by much of the research, reading & personal thought you've shown on the topic of metaphysics, religion & Christianity. But I can't fathom the reasoning that allows you to totally ignore Trump's total oblivion toward every core value acclaimed & promoted by metaphysics, most major religions & Christianity itself. Trump acts in complete opposition to every human value metaphysics, most religions & Christianity support. How you can sing his praises as a leader is beyond my ability to comprehend.
1. He ended the individual mandate for Obamacare. 2. He lowered taxes 3. He ended our involvement in the idiotic Paris agreement, that did nothing but burn a lot of fossil fuels in expensive jets 4. Called BS on the EU for their defense spending 5. Brought out Iran's true colors.
A non-helpful reply. I'm not giving glib questions here to irritate. I am genuinely curious about how you rate Trump as a better choice than Hillary was as a President. Please explain.
For twenty years now my gifted Pentecostal wife has demonstrated over and over again to me that there are Christian psychics who are a lot like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the minor prophets. I take this prediction by Kim Clement seriously: Kim Clement / President Trump Prophecies Secondly... I have many people who came out of certain types of sin that when they repent...... they are uniquely prepared to address the issues that they faced previous to their beginning to decide that they needed to begin to turn to their creator. Todd White is one of the best at proving to drug addicts that they can turn their lives around: Kim Clement / President Trump Prophecies President Trump has been prepared in a unique way to deal with world leaders due to his experiences.......... and Kim Clement back in 2007 did predict that he would eventually sincerely repent...and begin to pray with his whole heart. For all of his many, many, many, many flaws.... King David.... through his sin.... and later on his sincere repentance..... proved to many really messed up people that there was hope for them as well......
Thank you for clarifying your position. 1. By ending that mandate, he forced several million low-wage families off access to medical care, & weakened an already weak national medical care system. How is that helpful? How is that a positive step? Why shouldn't he & the Republicans work together with Democrats to come up with a system that works for every American, instead of simply preserving & protecting a system that serves the wealthy & ignores the needs of the less fortunate? 2. He lowered taxes for the wealthiest among us, but did nothing for the working classes. That's par for the course, for it changed nothing of substance & continued the status quo, where the wealthy continue in their place of privilege maintained, as always, by those never allowed to share in the economic benefits. 3. While you are right that the Paris Accords should have & could have been strengthened, they were a good first step toward getting a world of diverse nations working together on a common problem. Leaving it not only showed Trump as untrustworthy, but smeared the reputation of America in the process, as well. 4. I think 73 years of international peace in Europe speaks for itself as a remarkable achievement, when one considers the frequency of wars between nations that occurred in the century preceding 1945. The credit for that can be placed largely on NATO & the EU. To find nothing but fault with such successful institutions, is shortsighted & wrong. 4. Everyone connected with that Iranian Agreement, including individual European nations & the U.N. itself, who were in a position to know, all agreed, Iran was complying with that agreement. Trump unilaterally disagreed & pulled out, without offering any evidence to support his contention that Iran was breaking the agreement. If Iran had been breaking the agreement, I would support Trump's actions. But Iran was not at fault here, Trump was. So, I blame Trump for failing to live up to an agreement America had signed off on. Trump's actions here have fundamentally increased the chances of Iran actually developing an atomic bomb, which will result in it becoming a far more dangerous foe than before. Trump showed very poor judgment in this decision, accomplished nothing, but made it all but certain that Iran will become a nuclear power much, much sooner than if he'd stuck with the agreement.
You're certainly welcome to your opinion. Ending the individual mandate got me out of paying for an insurance program that i could not afford to use to begin with. If anything Obamacare kept me from getting healthcare.
