CEO Citadel Ken Griffin, a former GOP megadonor who voted for President Trump, said on Wednesday that the president’s trade wars are “nonsensical” and have already hurt the country’s “brand.”

“The United States was more than just a nation. It’s a brand. It’s a universal brand. Whether it’s our culture, our financial strength, our military strength, America rose beyond just being a country,” Griffin said Wednesday at Semafor’s World Economy Summit in Washington, D.C.

You're far to mealy-mouthed with your words.  He's not a "sex pest", he's a rapist.  He's not a "cheater" but an adulterer (many times over).  And to be honest, I'm not sure he's a "shameless liar".  Definitely shameless, but does he even know that the garbage he spouts is actually lies? I suspect he lacks the self awareness to know.

I agree totally, IMHO since his birthing and early life, he was treated as a GOD and thinks that is how everyone should be treating him today.  I don't think he feels any remorse whatsoever for those he shafts for not catering to his every whim.

It's your opinion that he doesn't have a small army of economists advising him.

People think he's an unhinged lunatic because they see him on the news talking trash.

You don't see the meetings going on behind the scenes. 

 

He probably has an army of experts in all fields of Government but the problem is that he just ignores them!

Hilarious that people are still trying to sane wash Trump.

He's all impulse all the time.

 

He has at least 6 economic advisers.

That doesn't mean what he's doing will work out. Sometimes even the best economists make bad decisions. But he's not an impulsive maniac like you pretend.

Doesn't matter how you're rooting. He's a TOTAL DISASTER and the people that are going to suffer the most from his idiocy are Americans themselves.

I particulary pity younger Americans today whether they're in his stupid cult or not. Because of the permanent damage Trump has already done their future is not promising at all. 

You don't know the future, nor is there anything you can do about it. So why not hope for the best, instead of all this doom and gloom.

No, that's what I want to do. Life is much better when I have an optimistic point of view.

I was talking to my son just now and he is saying many people from the US are now coming to Canada to shop

for Chinese goods.

Good for the Canadian economy,until the Trump makes a law against that i guess.

Maybe Canada will join the EU soon!

Great job donald!

 

Actually there's already a trade deal with the EU, which eliminates duties on 99% of all tariff lines,

I hate to say it but Trump has a history of succeeding when by rights he ought to fail.

 

In general I have always wanted any president to succeed because I thought it would be good for the US and, not least, good for me.

 

With Trump I have a sinking feeling that whether he succeeds at what he is trying to or if he fails at it, either way it will be bad for me.
