    Well you need to catch up and see what China and Russia is doing. China now has the biggest submarine fleet in the world with a new nuclear sub factory that can build twice the subs a year we can. If we get in a war with China, we'll needs a lot of ships to do it. We lost 1,700 ships in WWII and Germany and Japan didn't have anything like China alone has.

    China Building the World's Largest Submarine Factory

    Apr 24, 2017 - China Is Building the World's Largest Submarine Factory ... sneaking pictures of new ships and aircraft under development or construction.

      China. China has the largest fleet of submarines in the world with 18 nuclear-powered and 58 non-nuclear powered vessels. The Chinese Navy has invested a significant amount of money in the past 40 years to expand its fleet.

    1. China Has Built the Biggest and Baddest Conventional Submarine in the World. Displacing 6,628 tons submerged and measuring exactly the length of a football field at one hundred yards long (ninety-two meters), it is by most accounts the largest diesel submarine ever built. Unlike the vast majority of diesel submarines,...

    Your a lost cause, you can't prove me wrong so you deflect. Just thank your lucky stars Obama is out of there and Hillary didn't make it. Trump came along just when this country needed him most.

    Yes and I guess we got way off subject somehow. I need to watch that better.

    I don't agree with you about Bush and Obama. That remark couldn't be further from the truth. And everything else in this post is fact and not "fake".

    You mean that China sent Chinese workers to build roads and bridges in the US? Surely you jest. And of course Chinese steel was most likely used because US steel was priced out of the market. Get real and lose the vivid imagination.

    You grossly credit Obama with doing anything that made a positive difference.
    At any time, the market has a base value; and works much like a pendulum. if pushed off-base by recession, it will return to base or better on it's own. That is because emotions cause most market movement, not hard facts, and emotions stabilize after a while, positive negative. If Lassy the wonder dog had been president, this would still have happened. The difference that matters is the creation of new business, new jobs, new productivity- expansion of the system that generates our standard of living. The market immediately rocketed under Trump, because the direction clearly was shifting to focus on productivity. Obama's leadership took us toward a service industry economy; Trumps is returning us to a manufacturing base. The difference is that without the manufacturing, you cannot be independent and self-sufficient- and that means you are weak and vulnerable.

    History will remember Obama as a first black president; nothing else will be notably positive. Not much of a legacy. And despite his lack of foresight, Obama's national debt increase was roughly the same as all presidents in our history before him- put together. His only real talent was that of being a polished orator; a slick salesman. In retrospect we have since learned he also privately supported the socialist concept that has become a rage among those who are now promoting the idea that government should be our nanny and wet-nurse. When it came to actually improving the state of the nation, Obama seriously botched the job of president.

    Bet there are at least hundreds of restaurants that Trump could have had catered the event. His choice indicates his opinion of atheletes. Imagine getting invited to the White House for McDonalds.

    And I am sorry for your lack of taste.

    The market went up when Trump was elected because it knew he would cut corporate taxes and regulations. And he did and it made the rich richer and ballooned the national debt and did nothing to affect the job market or unemployment or the wages of the average American. The trends that started during the Obama administration continued, nothing more.

    And only the financially and politically uneducated thinks that any country in this globally interconnected world can be independent and self- sufficient. .

    If you polled the players my guess is they would have put what Trump fed them at the top of the list and the fruit salad you would have fed them at the bottom.

    The author of the "burger gate" article is a left wing political hack opinion journalist and nothing more. Don't think he will be winning the Pulitzer prize anytime soon.:roflol:

    Trump repealed nearly all of Obama's job killing mandates and the results are obvious especially in manufacturing jobs which Obama said we're gone forever. Trump turned a crawling economy into a booming economy.

    What would your caterd menu consist of. Poached salmon with asperges? Sounds good to me but I'm not a college football player. Trump fed these kids the food they love.

    Oh don't worry. In those carefully crafted lists of lies CNN uses, they will certainly include this. They are truly that deranged=)

    Steve Jobs was fired from Apple for gross incompetence and ONLY out of the sheer generosity and sympathy, did Bill Gates save his life...at least temporarily. What a failure that Jobs guy was=) Please, educate yourself and dive into the history of many successful Business people and you will find FAILURE after FAILURE after FAILURE. Any entrepreneur who is dabbling in lots of different ventures, will have successes and failure. Please, LOOK. Observe. Educate...and maybe, just maybe you won't come off as having absolutely no flipping idea what you're talking about.

    Do you know how often Google Fails...Apple Fails, MS fails, Disney fails? All of them. Do you know how many people are given money and are broke? How many lottery winners, literally handed a free pass, become broke and useless in just a couple of years? Trump has succeeded far more than failed, which explains why he is where he is. Don't let petty jealousy get in the way of your TDS=)

    Your lack of comprehension of fiscal management and the economy is blatantly obvious. Why make it worse with such comments?

    I am not jealous, I wouldn’t want the life he has achieved a I think it would be miserable, but comparing him to people that started from nothing and became billionaires exceeding the stock market by thousands because of their ideas is dishonest. He took a company and money from daddy and couldn’t even keep up with the base stock market.

    It’s cute how people that are actually deranged with him call others having tds because someone says something less than wonderful about dear leader.
    Good npc. Run along now.

    Did you just call me deranged? =) I don't think you understand. Steve Jobs would have been NOTHING without Bill Gates. All he would have had, were his successes from the 80s. Bill Gates saved Apple and Jobs from complete destruction. This isn't an opinion. Apple was done. Jobs was done. And you seem quite confused, thinking I LIKE Trump. I just don't hate him like you do. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with someone being given anything by their parents. I'm GIVING both my kids mostly free college tuition. Its up to them what they can do with it. And you know how many people are given business that they run into the ground? Plenty. Trump could have failed 100X over, but hasn't. You have to admire whatever the &$*#(@ is in him that allows him to succeed over and over again, when he really should be broke and probably prosecuted=)

    WAPO and NYT are a partisan joke.

    My news comes from ten or so sources, none of them Enquirer or Fox News.
