He inherited 4.8% unemployment and a growing economy; he left 6.8% UE, a Recession---and he achieved that disaster by increasing total National Debt by 41% over the first 44 Presidents. Just like his businesses, he was a failure economically. At least in his businesses he had inherited so much money, got so much in allowance from daddy since he was 3, and had his daddy co-sign all his loans, that he could created the appearance of being a success. His leaked tax returns tell an entirely different story.

 

He imposed sanctions on Chinese imports, claiming "China will pay". No, the US Consumer paid. Because China retaliated by changing sourcing on agricultural products to South American nations, he had to hand out $28 billion in relief to US farmers. That's called "Socialism".

Love your posts because you deal in FACTS, which are anathema to the trump supporters, but perhaps the worst is yet to come IF trump prevails in the next election.....read on:-

Economists forecast $800b annual hit from new Trump tariffs

Donald Trump’s economic policies will disproportionately hit America’s poorest households, which will pay the biggest chunk of a $500 billion-a-year (NZ$818b) burden should the Republican nominee win and introduce tariffs on all US imports, according to Peterson Institute economists.

Trump plans to impose a 10 per cent levy on all US imports and a 60 per cent tax on goods coming from China. The tariffs will fund his plans to extend a series of tax cuts, which he introduced while president in 2017, beyond 2025.

The Washington-based think-tank’s research, published on Monday, said both policies were “sharply regressive tax policy changes, shifting tax burdens away from the well-off and towards lower-income members of society”.

AND………………Trump Media and Technology Group posts more than $490m net loss in first public quarter.

So the poor will suffer (refer to the first article), not that it bothers Donny, and his latest business foray is a disaster.........and some still think he is a whizz kid. He is a lying, crooked dolt of the first order, and some.

Alex Jones has been right many more times than the so called "trusted MSM"

 

disagree 100 %

 

Why do they think 1.1 billion dollars to pay for "hurt feelings" is justified ?

in any case he won't be paying that stupid amount for the simple fact he does not have the money.

By your reply I can see that I am dealing with another "conspiracy theorist", so if you care to do a bit of research you will see that this idiot has made millions/billions from people like you – – down the rabbit hole you go.

And where on earth you conjured up that "hurt feelings" phrase from, shows that you are well and truly in the same league as this idiot.
 

The Police have found a large number of dead crows on the motorway early this morning, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.

A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu.

The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts.

However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws.

By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with motorbikes, while only 2% were killed by cars.

The investigators then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of motorbike kills versus car kills.

The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger.

They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout “bike"

This is briiliant........

Cautionary take for all the foreigners who think they can get around a hard and fast rule that foreigners can't own land in Thailand. Without a proper (good) lawyer, and checking all the boxes, with one misstep, your entire estate gets through into limbo, or worse, lost/taken from you.

Even with a "proper/good lawyer" things are not always as they seem, as a friend of mine found out when he lost his Villa because the Thai lawyer resold it in his absence, and when he took the lawyer to court, the court ruling was that because my friend had purchased the Villa through the nominee route, then he had broken the law and the whole deal was nullified and he got nothing.

I am of the opinion that someone should do a study to see how much was invested in cannabis businesses (retail and agricultural) and how much of that was borrowed from banks, relatives, loan sharks etc, and how much will not be paid back. 

Walk around Bangkok or Pattaya and every second shop it seems was selling cannabis, although they seemed to lack customers. What a waste of investment and energy on this "faux' legalisation of cannabis....a cluster***k from start to finish. 

I believe that many people will lose a lot of money on this, especially if the number of shops selling weed here in Patong is anything to go by, because it would seem that just about every other shop is selling the stuff.

I heard of a couple of guys who set up little "cannabis farms" to grow it and sell it to the shops.......going to be a lot of sad people out of pocket IMO. 

A few chuckles to brighten your day!!

1. We all love to spend money buying new clothes but you should stop
     and realize that the best moments in life are enjoyed without clothes.

2. Having a cold drink on a hot day with a few friends is nice,
     but having a hot friend on a cold night after a few drinks - priceless.

3. Breaking News: Condoms don't guarantee safe sex anymore.
     A friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot dead by the woman's husband.

4. Arguing over a girl's bust size is like choosing between
     Molson, Heineken, Carlsberg and Budweiser.
     Men may state their preferences but will grab whatever is available.

5. A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight
     live longer than the men who mention it.

6. On average, a British man under 75 will have sex two to three times a week,
     whereas a Japanese man the same age will have sex only one or two times a year.
    This is very upsetting news to many of my friends,
     as they were unaware that they were Japanese!

There is zero chance of these actions helping anyone apart from the terrorist leaders and their hate.

Whilst the terrorist leaders luxuriate in their penthouses in Dubai, the Palestinians, for whom they are supposed to be responsible (to a certain extent) are being punished on just about every front – – why? Because of Hamas hate of Israel and that hatred seems to have no bounds, all the while using Palestinian people as shields for their murderous activities.

And whilst these "peace talks" are going on, Hamas still seeks to further this conflict by killing IDF soldiers, thereby signalling their intent to continue this hatred, come what may.

It would seem obvious that Hamas leaders lack intelligence or even common sense, because if they had any they would have realised the consequences of their actions on October 7 could be disastrous. I look forward to the day when Hamas is completely wiped out, one way or another.

and yet 45% of Americans would vote for him......something seriously wrong with uncle Sam.

Having just watched the miniseries, "John Adams" and how the United States was formed after breaking away from the yoke of tyranny by the British, I wonder what he and his "Founding Fathers" would have thought about trump and his goobers trying to overthrow democracy in 2021 – – unbelievable that such a thing could happen, and I would agree with the poster when he said, "something seriously wrong with Uncle Sam".

"On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was attacked by a mob of supporters of then-U.S. president Donald Trump".
