TRUMP Thread

[Loki]

Not really. Dotard is going to either:

1.) Have one too many cheeseburgers and croak
2.) Get impeached
3.) Lose the next election
4.) Get stabbed by Melania

At minimum, at lot of blue jackets are going to be ice grilling him after midterm election.

Personally I want to see him impeached so I can lol at the temper tantrums.

Lol
1. maybe, he does have nonclinical coronary atherosclerosis, and high cholesterol
2. No proof of crimes that rise to the level of being impeached yet, even if such proof is presented, it is still a VERY unlikely scenario that he would be impeached and removed, two different things.
3. Far from a done deal, Trumps approval ratings are rising
4. She's not going anywhere, she knows where her bread gets buttered....

I disagree on the midterms. I could be wrong (of course.) He definitely won't lose the next election. All this is assuming democrats keep running on the platform of "we don't have any policies to put forth, but we hate Trump, is that enough?"

Don't forget that they're plenty of people who boarded the Trump train, but now that he's well into his agenda... They're still not "winning", and have developed buyers' remorse. Admittedly, his base will stick to him like glue no matter what, but are they enough?

Again, I say... It'll be interesting to see how he copes if the midterms go well for the Dems, and he can no longer roll along virtually unchecked.

Dude that's exactly what Dotard has based his presidency on, hate for Obama and reversing anything he accomplished. You just projected that obviously.

Hell, that's the same thing that Republicans spent years doing when Obama was in office. No actual plans for anything just constant, non-stop opposition and it worked out pretty well for them electorally. The GOP proved beyond a reasonable doubt that obstruction without ideas is a winning political formula.

Bout as loud as I was laughing when the clowns that voted for him didn't know that the affordable care act was "Obama care" and that they would be loosing their health care. Lmao.

Also there are the idiots that got their family members deported because they voted for Dotard.

For me this was the funniest election in more ways than one.

 

[Paniro188]

absolutely not, but aside from the spending bill and the spending bill and the tweeting and thin skinned behavior I have no issues with his presidency so far.

Trump signs "RIGHT TO TRY" into Law.

An eight-year-old boy who helped inspire federal legislation giving the terminally-ill the 'Right to Try' experimental drugs stole the show on Wednesday at a bill signing event.

• The boy, Indiana's Jordan McLinn, left his wheelchair to stand at the president's side as Donald Trump inked his name to the legislation

McLinn suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and helped inspire the bill in Indiana that VP Mike Pence signed when he was governor

Hope those kids didn't see how the REAL Trump feels about people with disabilities.

Andreboba, why are you spreading leftist propaganda lies?

 

[andreboba]

Andreboba, why are you spreading leftist propaganda lies?

The problem is Donald Trump has no credibility on this issue to be given the benefit of the doubt.

It's not like he's never mocked anyone before.lol

If Trump didn't call people names all the time or criticize their physical appearance, maybe he'd get a pass.

But when you're an asshole most of the time, it's a good bet you're an asshole ALL of the time.

Even if we were to take Trump at his word and he didn't remember a reporter he'd met a dozen times was disabled, it showed incredible insensitivity for Trump to move his arms in that manner referring to a disabled reporter.

Considering Trump says he has the 'best memory', I think he knew who he was making fun of.

Black unemployment rate hits a record low

CNN.com
By Paul R. La Monica June 1, 2018: 11:52 AM ET

The black unemployment rate fell to 5.9% in May — the lowest since the government started keeping track in 1972.

It's a notoriously volatile number, but the trend is clear: This economy is strong, and everyone is reaping the rewards.

"The jobs market is firing on all pistons. It is benefiting all workers," said Tony Bedikian, head of global markets at Citizens Bank. "There are more jobs to be had for all Americans."

As the overall unemployment rate continues to fall — the lowest since 2000 — it's also shrinking the gap between black and white unemployment. It is the narrowest on record.

Black unemployment dropped sharply last month, down from 6.6% in April. The gap between black and white unemployment shrank to 2.4 percentage points, the first time on record it's been less than 3 points.


The figures were part of a jobs report Friday that showed overall unemployment at 3.8%. That was a clear sign that the economy is strong — and that there are opportunities for just about everyone.

And yet the LFPR (Labor Force Participation Rate) is still at the same level it was in the 2nd half of 2013, https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS11300000
So I ask again, why do you believe the stats now, but did not want to give President Obama ANY credit for cutting the unemployment rate in half during his term? What we are seeing now is a result of aggressive policies by the Fed for the last 9 years finally paying off. Are you aware that the Fed is STILL buying billions of dollars of long term government bonds EVERY month? And are STILL buying non performing assets on wall street to stabilize the markets? In other words the economy is STILL not standing on its own two feet, and even an econ 101 student could tell you the positive signs we are seeing have NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP.

So ypu know better than economic experts?
"Nothing to do with Trump".
Yet, you say the historic lows we are witnessing "had EVERYTHING to do with Obama"? Please.
Which is it? Let me guess, the spikes in unemployment during Obama had "everything to do with Bush". Right?

During Obama's first year, unemployment spiked to almost 10% and remained there for 3 years.
THAT'S when l complained.
lm talking about real life during that time, Loki. I saw for myself the lack of jobs.
You didn't have to worry because you were always financially set with your firm, but for any of us regular people who struggled for years to make ends meet, we knew the truth. Finding a second job (which l needed), was HARD.
Now.....my inbox is full daily with multiple jobs (ironically, l don't need the 2nd job anymore), whereas before, l got a couple of hits maybe once every 3 days.
I even read that there are now more jobs available than people to fill them.
Are you mad at that?
You really should stop complaining that currently under Trump, unemployment and black unemployment continues to lower. (trust me, if it was raising, l'd be complaining). It's not a good look.

 

[andreboba]

Bliss, unemployment wasn't at 10% for 4 years under Obama.
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

We had 6 straight years of positive job growth under Obama leading right into the Trump administration.

Trump is just riding the wave. He's done nothing legislatively to improve job growth.

Job growth was good before Trump signed the trillion + dollar tax cut for the one-percent, and it's continued since.

I was going to respond with more FACTS, but Boba already beat me to it. The unemployment rate dropped after Obama was in office for about 3-4 years, in other words enough time for his (and more importantly the Fed) actions to actually have an effect (as the overwhelming majority of economist will tell you). Trump has simply not been in office long enough for any of his policies (if you can name one) to have an effect on the unemployment rate, but the Fed has been acting for going on 9 years now. Bliss you have no formal education (if im wrong please correct me) or experience on complex financial/economic topics, I have an MBA and have worked in the financial markets for decades now, when I talk its based on facts not on hating Trump or loving Obama.
