    I'll repeat it a second time.

    Even if Chinese products were no longer attractive to American consumers, other nations would quickly replace China.

    What would be the effect on the US trade balance?

    Nothing.

    But, that being said, nothing keeps you from continuing to drink from your guru's lies.

    yep, they believed all the false stuff about Hillary, many have told us they did not vote for Trump, they voted against Hillary

    course personally, I think was Comey that gave Trump the election, karma that Trump fired him over it (or at least used that as the excuse)

    What? Every group the left panders to is told they’re some how oppressed victims. Name one group the left courts and doesn’t say that to.

    What part of “reposting” do you not get?

    But we see the “red brain blue brain” played out everyday here.

    “Someone knocked a MAGA hat off of someone else!”

    Gasp that means I will be targeted “zing!” Up lights the Amygdala

    Someone was nasty to someone wearing a Trump t shirt

    “Zing!” Amygdala buzz

    Sadly, that’s the free market in action and unions costing employers too much. But what Trump is talking about are tariffs and open markets.

    Yeah! Ditch unions so you can have your very own sweat shops!

    Ever hear of OSHA?

    Are unions not a huge reason why companies use overseas sweat shops? I’ll bet you buy their products.

    Trump is a fool who believes he can use his same negotiating tactics to manage a country.

    The trade war with China is seriously jeopardizing US growth and even if an agreement were signed, it would be impossible to avoid a recession by the end of 2020.

    That'll be Trump's legacy.

    And you, you blindly follow a businessman who has gone bankrupt 6 times and can no longer borrow money from any American bank...

    Bah, that same crap could be said for any class that feels mistreated on any given day, I see it all the time now my local news was making a bigger deal out of some words scratched on the side of somebody's car then they were a murder just this morning.

    My only point is honestly that this all social media crap in my opinion has been overstated many times over. The numbers by themselves seem like a lot until you consider that it's just a drop in the social media bucket. The media bombarded voters from all directions, vast majority of people i knew already made up her mind early in the race and drowned it out anyway. I knew I wasn't voting for either one of them as soon as the nominations were settled.

    My spouse was a hardcore Trump supporter from the beginning despite my objections. If I couldn't convince her, or her parents or her kid, how the hell could some random Facebook meme do it?

    Where do you people come from? Jeopardizing US growth? Obama scared companies away and said in his new economy those jobs weren’t coming back. Come on, get real and put your hate aside.

    Bankruptcy? The guy has over 500 businesses. Your woman has none and admittedly left the White House dead broke.

    Jesus, do you guys know anything?

    I moved more to cash in Jan. 2018.
    I'm toying with some more before Trump meets with Xi.
    What do you think?
    Edit:
    I must admit, some of it was because I was building a new house and had to pay for options and lot premium before the old house sold.

    Cute, you only addressed one part of my post and not the negative stuff about Obama. If you’re good on this sort of thing, you can cash in on the economy tanking. Are you willing to bet your own money that it will?

    70% of my investments are in funds. 20% cash, 10% individual stocks. My fund managers seem to be doing a damn good job, and if anything I just Shuffle 5 or 10% cash around either into or out. Buy on the dips. I can certainly do better but I'm an amateur. The funds are pretty spread out.

    Obama has left behind a healthy economy.

    Trump will not.

    Yep, the jobs Obama lost would only come back with a magic wand.

    So what did Obama do to improve the economy. Go for it sport

    Ugh I can relate to that we went and looked at a new development just today much closer to work, with 10% down 30% on all options plus lot premium we're already exploring how to have minimum 50k set aside just to get started. On top of that will be double-dipping with two houses for a spell if we commit.

    I've been crunching the numbers in my head for the last 7 hours, the only reason I'm still awake right now. :)

    Mate most of the best examples have been YOUR threads!

    Who can forget the classic MAGA hat one where everyone was up in arms about “the violent left” when there was no evidence it actually was more than a red hat

    He did not start a trade war.

    He kept debt under control despite the 2008 bailout.

    He has not lowered taxes to create flexibility in the event of an economic downturn.

    Finally, he did the opposite of Trump.

    Great.

    Now explain to me why the growth was only 2.9% in 2018.

    Wait, are you saying the left isn’t violent? Do I need to give you examples of the party of peace?
