Remember when El Chapo dug that tunnel to escape his prison cell? Maybe that's what trump was doing in the basement, trying to dig a tunnel to Mexico.
until the pandemic unemployment was at historic lows the dow nasdaq and s&p were all way up so yeah he got the economy going....and I did not mean to buy votes or from the treasury BUT Im pretty sure you knew that when i referenced handing out $100 bills I was talking from his direct pocket
He got it going, did he? More post hoc reasoning. But that was then, and this is now. If you credit him with the good economy, why not blame him for mucking up the Covid crisis and causing the bad one?
Oh he totally fucked the china virus shit he had NO clue I thought I said that in another thread he is not a leader I believe I have stated that several times, the only thing he did right sorta in regards to wuhan/c19 was to stop certain incoming flights from china
Sorry I credited the New York Times but forgot to link it. Here it is. Unidentified Federal Police Prompt Fears Amid Protests in Washington Another Unlabeled Unknown force ? No badges ! No insignia ! No names !Third world thuggish strongman tactic! And videos
The May jobless report was fudged and tweaked to make Trump look good. Unemployment is much worse than the 13.3 % previously reported and bragged about by the Orange Spray Painted Charlatan.
No they are not! I spent much of my career as an economist working with employment and income data. I know precisely what they include and don’t include and more importantly what they mean. You are wrong. There data just referenced by Trump were used inappropriately...but he’s not the first Republican to rig the data; in the 1980’s Reagan proposed to stop collecting such information at all when he didn’t like what they indicated.
Attorney General Barr ordered authorities to clear protesters near White House, DOJ official says By Evan Perez and David Shortell, CNN Updated 4:36 PM ET, Tue June 2, 2020 William Barr ordered authorities to clear protesters near White House - CNNPolitics excerpts: "Attorney General William Barr on Monday evening ordered authorities to clear a crowd of protesters that had gathered near the White House, according to a Justice Department official, minutes ahead of President Donald Trump's televised address from the Rose Garden." "At 6:35 p.m., authorities began charging the crowd in lockstep with their shields raised, some using their batons to strike the protestors as gas canisters were deployed. Trump walked over to the church shortly after 7 p.m."
The economy was already going well when Trump inherited it. It gave Trump an advantage that could spend time on his culture wars and other manufactured reality TV style crises without having to grapple with real ones. The advent of the coronavirus showed that he doesn't know how to deal with real crises. Trump sugar-coated an already good economy deregulation and a corporate tax cut which barely made it to a simple majority in the Republican-controlled Senate. Even that wouldn't have happened if Murkowski and Collins hadn't been effectively bribed, the same two who have since pleaded personal mental anguish for supposedly grappling with whether or not they should continue to support someone as politically ugly as Trump who has now said he won't support Murkowski in 2022 because she dared to question his perceived complete absolute authority. Trump's borrow-and-spend mindset is the reason why the national debt increased a few trillion under him even when the economy was doing well before the coronavirus struck (which is when national debt should be reduced). Trump's bungled coronavirus response added a few more trillion. His White House tenure is consistent with the way he ran up debt in his private businesses that led to his bankruptcies. He later sued his creditors for exhorbitant amounts after they requested he repay them the money he had borrowed.
Trump supporters are still under the mistaken perception that he generally was a CEO. He wasn't. Trump operates with lack of transparency and accountability. He prefers private operations over public with family members as his key operators. His nepotism at the White House reflects this fact. Trump wasn’t a real CEO. No wonder his White House is disorganized. By Bert Spector Feb. 21, 2017 at 7:00 a.m. EST https://www.washingtonpost.com/post...eo-no-wonder-his-white-house-is-disorganized/ excerpts: "Well for one thing, Trump wasn’t a genuine CEO. That is, he didn’t run a major public corporation with shareholders and a board of directors that could hold him to account. Instead, he was the head of a family-owned, private web of enterprises. Regardless of the title he gave himself, the position arguably ill-equipped him for the demands of the presidency." "The CEO of a public company is subject to an array of constraints and a varying but always substantial degree of oversight. There are boards of directors, of course, that review all major strategic decisions, among other duties. And there are separate committees that assess CEO performance and determine compensation, composed entirely of independent or outside directors without any ongoing involvement in running the business. Whole categories of CEO decisions, including mergers and acquisitions, changes in the corporation’s charter, and executive compensation packages, are subject to the opinion of shareholders and directors."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/post...eo-no-wonder-his-white-house-is-disorganized/ excerpt: "Trump, it should be noted, made one stab at a public company: Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts. That was an unmitigated disaster, leading to five separate declarations of bankruptcy before finally going under, all this while other casino companies thrived. Public investors ignored all the signs in favor of the showmanship and glitz of the Trump brand and, as a result, lost millions of dollars. Trump allotted himself a huge salary and bonuses, corporate perks, and special merchandising deals."
