Trump’s first year was even worse than feared

[henryp]

Like I said.  A bit of critical thinking would be enough.  Alas, it was not meant to be.

Hey man Trump called himself The America First Job Creating Savior President and yet he couldn't create more jobs then the terrorist.

You're doing it!  You're winning the internet!  GO FAKE MESSIAH!!!!

That's a rather pathetic non-answer, even for you wallym.

Do I see a hint of cognitive dissonance?

Do I see a hint of cognitive dissonance?

FM isn't reading or replying to the content of my posts.  It happens a lot on here.  People create a caricature in their mind, and reply to what they think that caricature would say, rather than what the person they are talking to has actually said.  So I'm left with either discussing the position of the imaginary guy, or wasting my time trying to break the person out of their delusion so we can talk about what I actually said.  Usually, I repeat my point once with some clarification, and if they are still being obtuse, I just move on.

Regarding cognitive dissonance, I'm only asserting a single non-partisan point.  It would certainly be cognitive dissonance if the imaginary person FM is arguing with held both my opinion and the opinion FM made up for said imaginary person.  But that's not particularly relevant to me.

On a side note, am I known for non-answers?  It'd be nice to have a thing.

Hey you said that new jobs were not needed that much in '17 because unemployment wasn't that high and yet Trump played on the card that he is the "biggest job creator that god made" so I guess unemployment was a big issue in '16.

I say the conclusion drawn from the graph is stupid.  Trump saying something contradictory on the campaign trail doesn't change my opinion.  And unless you think Trump is correct, it shouldn't affect your opinion on the matter either.  What Trump says is a non-sequitur in regards to how you should feel about the meaning of that graph, and yet in every response to why I (not donald trump) think the graph posted by you (also not donald trump) is dumb, your response revolves around Donald Trump.

Trump is taking job growth down the hill

And those are the unadjusted figures, when they are corrected (usually happens three to six months after the initial estimate), all Trumps job figures were substantially lower than initially announced*.

*Something similar happens with GDP numbers. What you hear as the official figures is only an estimate with a standard deviation of somewhere around 4.5%. And most of the time the trend when the actual GDP numbers are announced is to reduce the number (this is due to GDP being essentially a political statistic, and hence is inflated). So the next time your government announces 2% growth, there's actually a good chance the economy's just shrunk.

Same polls also reported that hillary would win by a land slide.

Unless Tom Hank runs in 20 you's all better start stretching you liberal bottoms out for 4 more years of us dragging you morons kicking nd screaming into prosperous lives.

Conservatives and Republicans giving us prosperous lives??  Now that is a hoot.

Drich is just another 'I-got-mine-so-go-fuck-yourselves'-style Christian. He doesn't give two shits about the body politic. It could all burn, as far as he's concerned. Just give him his tax cuts and let Jesus sort out the rest of the mess.

The worse things get, the "truer" their fucking prophesies seem to them.

That is what the Dominionist traitors are working towards.  Their imaginary friend will come back with a little help from them.

Not what I am saying. we won this time because people hated clinton and felt they had to vote trump. Could you imagine if all the fence sitters saw hank's name on the ballot?
