It seems that Trump's tariffs will eliminate 934,700 jobs and cost the average family $767



In other words Trump is bad for the economy.

Already “My Pillow” guy, Mike Lindell, who said Trump was sent by God to give America its greatest economy ever, this week he announced that he just had to lay off 150 employees.

Trump isn't missing any meals. He couldn't care less about how his actions impact others. As long as there is enough to pay for the koolaid for his rabid followers things will only continue to get worse on many, many levels.

The goal was to get an old white man back in office and that goal was reached.

Especially when he’s shown to have fucked it up so badly.

Just to clarify, this quote was in response to Plum's remark (I did not count on Boru chiming in before I clicked "post reply") that voting in Trump based on his business record (after it turns out his losses were huge enough that he wound up being responsible for 2 cents of every business loss one year [not the entire 1990s, though]) was like voting in Jimmy Saville for his record in child care (and bear in mind, for the Yanks here, if the investigation into him is accurate, he'd probably be the biggest sex offender in recorded history with the possible exception of some of the Roman emperors.)

And Trump spent the entire campaign touting his business acumen as being the closest thing to a positive he had going for him (besides his bigotry and his wrestling heel mien), and yet it turns out that even Nicolas Cage (he who's currently working in any stinkbomb movie that'll pay him because he lost his fortune in 2009), or Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (who blew through their Hills money because they seriously thought the Mayan Apocalypse was going to render it all moot anyway) would have actually proven a better choice in this regard.





Therefore, there actually are things the public can actually glean from Presidential candidates' tax returns. And for more information about what a tax return can show, see here.

They should vote for Oprah she's better at business then Trump

Exactly! White House is readying plan to extend about $12 billion in emergency aid to farmers caught in Trump’s escalating trade war

And what is conservative's supposed radar for socialism doing? They call every Democrat a socialist and yet they call it "beneficence" when Trump wants to mollify his base.

I don't have a good feeling about this clown car full of Democrats in the running.  The Dems screwed it up last time and they are primed and ready to do it again.  This is, once again, the Democrats race to lose.  In the meantime...Trump and his cronies are taking away rights and generally fucking the US over in every way they can.  Trump throws out a little nugget now and then (like his statement about vaccinations being a good thing) to make the ADHD citizens of this country forget the 100 other shit things he has said and done nearly every day in office.  

We the people need to have better and longer memories.

With all these losses, literally ANYONE would be better at business than Trump. As I mentioned before, Nicolas Cage squandered his $150 million fortune and spent it on a lot of crazy shit. And while I can't be sure, I think that Cage's journey into becoming the posterboy for conspicuous consumption took at least a decade (at least that Action Comics #1 he owned was bought in 1997, 12 years before the IRS came for him). Meanwhile, Trump manages to lose comparable amounts of money (sometimes less, sometimes more) EVERY FUCKING YEAR.

It adds up when you have to pay porn stars to keep quiet...as Trump can attest.

At least Cage bought some tangible items along the way.  And Cage also isn't president on a mission to ruin the country.

Quote: Your graph is pointing out percentage change in GDP from one period to the next.  The ups and downs are pretty large and erratic.  Anyway, it's not a complete statement of the health of the economy.  Unemployment has been lower, but that was back in the 50s, more than 50 years ago.  Even black unemployment is lowest since the 70s.  Women's unemployment is way down too.  As far as your predictions for the future of the economy, that remains to be seen.

Neither is unemployment . The fact you keep harping on that point despite it having nothing to do with Trump being president. I also love the fact you praise the minority stuff while not acknowledging that this doesn't even make a real dent in the overall employment problem for those groups .So again you not show the full picture either .

The most egregious one is the lie about current US economic performance you lying idiot.

Here's a graph from the last seventy years.  At best the US economy is currently doing bang average, and that's a generous best*.  There was no single point during the Clinton presidency for example where the GDP growth didn't do better than it's doing under Dumbfuck.  Under Obama, when he was trying to rescue a dying banking system and a dying automotive sector, it was doing better.

* I'm saying very generous here, because the US economy is operating under very special conditions which are artificially inflating GDP numbers.  For example with the very low federal interest rates, many people are funding their living through debt (because they are surely not getting them through wages, seeing as those are stagnant in nominal terms, meaning people are being paid less now than last year) which is actually unsustainable.  The next time interest rates hit a normal level for an economy with GDP growth of 2-3%, somewhere in the region of 3-4% interest, the whole economic system will come crashing down again, and this time the government won't be able to do a single fucking thing about it, because of Dumbfuck thrashing both the tax base and the oversight mechanisms.

Note he ignored your comment

No shit Sherlock. And it also points out that you lied massively.

But then again, your pastor has ordered you to go out and lie about Jesus every day, and your "predisent" lies at you 28 times a day and you lapp it up. No wonder you yourself are a pathological liar incapable of telling the truth.

When they ask why the poor have no food we call them communists, when we give food to the rich we call it good business.

If you buy a fleet vehicle for a rental agency or a freezer for a restaurant you can claim depreciation of assets as a loss for a period of time. How is this bad business?
