As I said it's a lot easier to make money if you're willing to steal it, and if you're willing to stiff nearly everyone that you work with. 

Who is stealing it?  Be specific.

Wow, in 38 days, he's ruined the economy ...

Of course the economy is going to show signs of strain from tariffs and spending cuts.  Powerful forces are fighting back any way they can and it's all just beginning.  

 

Trump knows this, the American people know this, and the real people seem to approve.  Not the fake real people the media portrays. Not the fake conserevatives planted at  rallies.  The real people. The people who elected Trump and who are row giving him one of the highest approval ratings ever for a President at this point in his administration. 

 

The media will tell anyone who will listen that Trump economic policies have been tried before and have failed before.  But have they really?  Or did they just fail in terms of the Western mindset?  

 

According to Trump, reciprocal tariffs are good for America.  Spending cuts will be more than offset by cost cutting measures, and his Trump Gold Card program can make all the difference in the world, in short order.  Attract the best and the brightest from all over the world.  People who will create real jobs. People who will pay taxes like everyone else. 

 

Anyone criticizing Trump before he even begins his quest, is simply falling victim the failed lies of the past.  Why not give the guy a chance?  He's up against powerful forces, as I've said, but  I think the real American people support him, at this point.  

According to Trump, it's not Americans who will be paying for the tariffs imposed unimported goods, but rather the country the imported goods come from. Does it really need to be explained to you why this claim is nonsense?

Trump stiffed over 3,600 contractors in the past 40 years. Some for very significant amounts of money. He also made a fortune on fraudulent college degrees from Trump University. All this information is available, for anyone who cares.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday found that the mass firings of probationary employees were likely unlawful, granting temporary relief to a coalition of labor unions and organizations that has sued to stop the Trump administration’s massive dismantling of the federal workforce.

Exclusive: Trump's 3,500 lawsuits unprecedented for a presidential nominee
June1, 2016

Donald Trump is a fighter, famous for legal skirmishes over everything from his golf courses to his tax bills to Trump University. But until now, it hasn’t been clear precisely how litigious he is and what that might portend for a Trump presidency.

An exclusive USA TODAY analysis of legal filings across the United States finds that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades. They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.

Trump or not, it is due for a recession and will probably be a bad one.

Nice case of right wing doublethink. When inflation hit the United States that was Biden's fault. But if a recession should hit the United States now, that's just because it was due and not the fault of the current President.

I don't need a link, anybody who spends five minutes online can come up with a hundred reasons to establish his criminal past. Asking for a link is just simply an excuse to continue to believe in this creep without exercising your muscles, and making a sensible determination as to the immoral nature of this creep. Please stop the nonsense.

Nasdaq has boomed for 2 years. Needed a sell off.

Stock markets generally have done better over Democrat led leaders since the 90's. The only major sell offs have been when the GOP took charge again.

Nothing much to do with it at all. World markets and business leaders control it.
