Do you think Trump will be impeached or forced to resign?

Regardless of this. 

US voted him in.

You always get what you deserve in a so called democracy.

Since Vietnam, most countries consider US a  joke.

Electing Trump confirms it.

The governments of most countries are a joke.  However, their people aren't allowed to joke about it.  Is that what they deserve?

Now that Trump is getting harder and harder to defend, Fox is trying the "who cares" tactic:

 

WOULD YOU EVEN CARE IF HE WAS GUILTY?  —  The stock market is up, unemployment is down and the economy seems to be picking up some steam

 

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/04/would-even-care-if-was-guilty.amp.html

 

In short, who cares if The President is a moron, habitual liar, possible traitor, possibly compromised by a foreign adversary, incompetent, ineffectual, an embarrassment, mentally unstable, mostly out golfing, running a chaotic administration, practicing nepotism, breaching ethics conventions, has financial conflicts of interests, hasn't signed a single legislative bill except Russians sanctions bill which he was forced to and did so with the greatest reluctance.

 

The important thing is, the Stock market is healthy.

 

When the market drops, as it inevitably will, Fox will blame the people doing their job who are investigating the Trump/Russia/financial links. Or say it would've been worse under Hillary.

A bit like the Tea Party when Obama was prez, but three times as bigly with millions more citizens opposed to Trump and more nepotism, more lies, more conflicts of interests, more Russians, more golfing, more WH firings and resignations, more scandals, more inane tweets and more leaks.

Meanwhile in the US.

 

The Federal Reserve has left the cookie jar (stock market) unattended. May as well put a printing press in every bank. print money and send it to Wall St.

 

The POTUS seems to be following a definite pattern, Do or say something stupid, get questioned, caught out and backed into a corner.

Blame the press, blame the leakers, blame Hilary, blame Obama, sack somebody, appoint somebody, have a "redneck rent a crowd" rally.

Repeat as necessary.

Is it not the job of the federal reserve to control monetary policy, control interest rates, inflation etc. In a boom economy they put the brakes on, in a bust economy they stimulate the economy. 

Nobody appears to be driving the bus with a booming market based on speculation rather than real growth etc.

Well, they have raised interest rates a few times. The problem is that there is no sign of increasing inflation. Nor of disproportionate wage increases. The housing market doesn't seem out of control And it really isn't the Fed's job to control the stock market.

Yes its not the feds job directly but they control the flow of money that feeds the bubble. 

Its not a stock market booming because of fundamentals, real growth etc, its a market boom based on "nobody is watching".

The way the Feds control the money supply is to raise interest rates. The problem is that inflation is almost nonexistent and wages are rising very slowly.  So you risk doing real damage to the economy to protect investors whom you believe are foolish. Dodd Frank made it much more difficult for hedge funds and banks to play the markets with borrowed money. So I don't think the stock market, if it is overvalued, is much of a threat to the economy.

Why Is Donald Trump Still So Horribly Witless About the World?

 

“Trump has an appalling ignorance of the current world, of history, of previous American engagement, of what former Presidents thought and did,” Geoffrey Kemp, who worked at the Pentagon during the Ford Administration and at the National Security Council during the Reagan Administration, reflected."

 

“He has an almost studious rejection of the type of in-depth knowledge that virtually all of his predecessors eventually gained or had views on.”

 

“The President has little understanding of the context”—of what’s happening in the world—“and even less interest in hearing the people who want to deliver it,” Michael Hayden, a retired four-star general and former director of both the C.I.A. and the National Security Agency, told me."

Donald Trump Is The Fast-Food President

 

"Lobbyists for restaurants, hotels and other franchised businesses spent the last several years fighting the Obama administration on one regulation after another."

 

"But the new White House occupant has heard their grievances, making industry-friendly changes to employment laws and how they’re enforced."

 

"That’s included abandoning Obama’s overtime reforms, shying away from a minimum wage raise, and limiting who’s considered an “employer” under the law ― all of which have a disproportionate effect on lower-wage,

labor-intensive fields like fast food."

There's your "job growth" Trumpeteers.

I read that the inept one loves fast food.

Service Industries in U.S. Grow at Fastest Pace in 13 Months

"America’s service industries expanded in November at the fastest clip since October of last year, putting the economy’s biggest sector on a robust growth path."

Outsourcing and the shift from manufacturing to services

"Using US data from the past 60 years, this column shows that the evolution of the input-output structure – which is mostly due to professional and business services outsourcing – accounts for 36% of the increase in services and 25% of the fall in manufacturing."

http://voxeu.org/article/outsourcing-and-shift-manufacturing-services

 

The whole US economic story told in one chart

"This one chart tells the whole story of the US economy right now: manufacturing down, services up."

"The manufacturing sector, however, accounts for about 12% of economic output, making it more than five times smaller than services."

Considering the stuff that's coming out now, he might not make it a year.  But I believe with Nixon, the impeachment process took quite some time.

 

Either way, we've got a lying president who's accomplishing nothing.
