Trump blasts "left-wing cultural revolution" at Mount Rushmore

Two  popular institutions that represents beautiful  capitalism!

Capitalism.

 

45, in his speeches, like to bark about his 'Greatest Ever' (sic). The fact is, fully 70% of all quarters since the end of WWII have topped GDP growth under 45, so only in his mind is bottom 30% 'best ever'. With the current Recession/Depression likely to erase all GDP gains since 2016, he will leave office, at best, having achieved zero growth.

 

History shows the Dems are better at Capitalism than the Repubs.  There has never been a Repub POTUS who did not preside over the start of a Recession, going back all the way to Lincoln. Not even one. Dems have had several POTUSs who never presided over a Recession. The stock market performs better on average under Dems, too, according to the historical data.

 

Even recent history shows a stark difference between Dems and Repubs.

 

Clinton inherited a Recession from Bush I, but he turned over growth that dwarfs anything since (including 45's Fake Greatest Ever), as well as a budget surplus.

 

Obama inherited the worst economy since the 1930s, 10% UE, a banking system and an insurance industry on the verge of total collapse, but he handed 45 growth, de-levered and stable banks, solid insurers, a soaring stock market, 4.8% UE, and repayment of bailout funds given to banks, autos and insurers. The US Taxpayer even made a profit.

 

45 is going to leave President Biden 10%+ UE, a Recession or Depression, an exploding deficit, and an out-of-control pandemic.

 

Under 45 farmers had to be handed $25 billion plus to aid them after 45 destroyed their export markets with his bungled trade policies. Unlike banks, autos and insurers under Obama, those farmers will never repay the US Taxpayer. The word for that kind of govt aid that 45 handed farmers is "Socialism".  Because of the bungled response to Covid, the Federal Reserve is now bailing out zombie firms, even buying junk corporate bonds. More 45 Socialism. No Capitalism in sight.

 

45, in a mere 3.5 years, has grown the National Debt by 37%, from $19.3 trillion when he took over to $26.5 trillion today. With the current Recession/Depression  likely to erase any GDP gains since 20 January 2016, the US will have gotten ZERO growth, but paid more than $7 trillion for it.  No wonder 45 called himself "The King of Debt". It's also no wonder why he's had 6 bankruptcies, all of which were thrust on to the US Taxpayer.

 

Capitalism truly is a wonderful thing, and it has contributed to making the US what it became and will be again once competent leadership returns. Adam Smith would tip his hat to the Democrats who have presided over it so smartly, but he would furrow his brow over how poorly 45 and Repubs have done with it.

Yes, and he uses things called Facts, taken from sources like the Dept of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Treasury, the Congressional Budget Office, and other official USG sources of data.

 

BTW, would your comment constitute a Rules Violation?

 

I welcome you to point out anything I have posted that is incorrect. I endeavor to use those things anathema to 45, which, as I already said, are called "Facts".

You guys are really screwed up if you think most americans approve of toppling statues and you are not in some fringe minority of extremists. 

Please at least try to answer the question asked.

 

But in the meantime, what is your evidence that most americans do NOT oppose removing these statues?

Deflecting much? I specifically cited the example of Trump's campaign suing CNN for publishing the results of its poll.

 

Here's some more information that demonstrates Trump's profound respect for the first amendment:

Donald J. Trump Is A Libel Bully But Also A Libel Loser

Trump and his companies have been involved in a mind-boggling 4,000 lawsuits over the last 30 years and sent countless threatening cease-and-desist letters to journalists and critics.[1]

But the GOP presidential nominee and his companies have never won a single speech-related case filed in a public court.

https://www.medialaw.org/component/k2/item/3470-donald-j-trump-is-a-libel-bully-but-also-a-libel-loser

Essentially what Trump does is file BS cases in the expectation that his superior financial resources will force defendants to surrender.

Very good post Walker.  Thank you. 

 

Sadly, those who will see this as an attack on their idol will do nothing to even try and rebut any of your statements, but will revert to their norm of deflecting, obfuscating and attacking the poster - just like 45 does all the time.

I admit to being a Fact Nerd. I scour the myriad of US Govt websites collecting data and determining levels and trends and their changes over time.  One finds astonishing things, such as what I noted about no Repub POTUS ever NOT presiding over the start of a Recession. Sites like Dow or S&P, that have long term historical data, also show that the stock market under Dems outperforms the market under Repubs. Those "Big Spending Dems" also have a much better deficit record, as Repubs own well more than half the total National Debt.  Not so surprising that the last two budget surpluses, going back 60 years, are both under Dems, Kennedy and Clinton.

 

As the poster above you said, reality has a liberal bias.

Why do you guys constantly spew BS when you're own side is doing exactly what you accuse the right of doing, when the right isnt even doing it. 

 

Not to mention toppling statues like <deleted> ISIS

That has been Trump's M.O. from day one. 

[Srikcir]

The American Revolution was led by the left-wing culturalists who defied an authoritarian monarchy, who looked towards a new experiment called the People's Democracy to found a new independent nation.

If Trump had lived during those times it wouldn't be farfetched that he would have been a Tory to sustain the king's power over the American colonies and bring the rule of British law to suppress the American Revolution.

But lets put you being wrong aside. 

 

Confederate statues are what you cited but they are toppling George Washington, Lincoln, Columbus, and tons more, so that kinda blows the whole "confederate" argument out of the water. 

 

But you keep on, it plays into Trumps hand. Ya little extremists.

By the way, we have an amendment to our Constitution---not so surprisingly the 1st one---that guarantees us the right of free speech. Not on this forum, perhaps, but in any public way we are free to criticize even the temporary POTUS.

When I was brought up my parents taught me that if you have nothing good to say about somebody, you are better off saying nothing! 95% of the people on this forum that are making comments here are not from the USA, so they have no knowledge what they are talking about! It is either jealousy or mr booze talking!
