Donald John Trump is So Refreshing!! His Latest Plans to: "Make America The Greatest Again".

a reply to: carewemust

And once again Heir Trump has neglected ENTIRELY to tell you how he's going to achieve this miraculous thing that he thinks no one else in the country can achieve. He seems to suggest he knows more than people who have spent their entire careers in their field, knows more than every politician with actual degrees in economics, with actual experience in the role, with actual support from thousands of other specialists in their field.

And you all believe this vacuous and vacant nonsense without question?

And, let's make something else clear while we're here, Trump did not get to where he is though any actions of his own, plenty of what this arrogant fool has done has massively failed. He has a whole army of people far more intelligent and far more educated than he making all these decisions for him. He's nothing more than a little rich child in the body of an adult, with his carers making money for him - because that's their damned job.

Once again, if you vote for this man, you should probably be receiving 24 hour care services.

And Donald is the one responsible for saying inflammatory and immature statements that the reporters talk about

I'm still waiting for one Trump supporter to tell me what they think about the following:

1. Trump has openly stated on record that he would end press freedom.
2. Trump has openly stated support for violent attacks on other Americans, based on politics.
3. Trump has openly stated that he would do away with the Geneva Conventions.
4. Trump has openly stated that he would consider using Nuclear weapons, in Europe.
5. Trump has openly stated that all Muslim Americans should be on a "list".

As you'll see, not one Trump cheer leader will respond to this and explain how they can support these things, because they can't. They can't claim that he was misquoted or misunderstood, because these statements are a matter of public record.

The man they are supporting is a fascist in all but admission, they know it, we know it, but they're of such low IQ they can't seem to figure out how this will impact on their country.

He's going to raise tariffs on international imports haven't you been listening?

Okay, lets try this one last time...

Tariffs on international imports have been developed over decades to benefit both parties, there is no "wiggle room" here. It makes no difference what the lunatic claims, this is interwoven into a myriad of treaties and agreements all our nations have made through negotiations over years of work.

That insanely ignorant man cannot (and I mean actually cannot in any way, shape or form) just get into office and increase that tariff. It's NOT POSSIBLE. Even if he could do it through executive power, doing so would instantly isolate the US from all of its main trading partners.

China would immediately halt all exports to the US, along with all cooperation with the NYSE.

Your exports to all those nations would absolutely cease right at that moment too. Nothing would be coming in or out of the US.

Well done Trump, you just sent America into a second great depression within hours.

No doubt you'll now claim defiantly that the US can produce everything it needs, right?

Nope, again you're missing out on basic economics.

You demand goods for a low price, and those goods come from China (and other places). Aside from not having the structure in the US to start up such a massive manufacturing base, you don't have the staff to do it either. Remember, Trump has just closed all the borders and started sending immigrants home. They're the only ones willing to work for the bare minimum. No American wants that job.

So lets be generous and say some Americans do decide to take up toiling in the fields to produce crops (even though we know that's not going to happen, and even though we know that the US consumes FAR, FAR MORE than it could ever produce) they will not be doing it for less than $7 an hour. So, producers now need to demand more for the end product, which means the retailer now needs to demand more from you, the consumer.

But wait, you can't afford to pay $10 for a loaf of bread, you just lost your job because the company you worked for sank the moment their exports to Europe, China and South America stopped.

So, you're now barely surviving on reduced government assistance.

Oh, but wait, that's been cut because the government can't afford to support everyone now that GDP has sunk to record lows thanks to all that lost revenue and the millions more people now unemployed because Trump halted all international trade. Because of the closure of trading with Asian markets the whole world has gone into another economic slide, with the US now barely able to survive.

That pension - gone
That bank and your savings - gone
That corporation you work for - gone

Once again, people seem to think that everything is oh so simple when it comes to government, and it proves once again that Trump is a blow-hard moron who doesn't know the first thing about economics or the intricacies of government and leadership.

And ironically this is a man who claims to be oh so intelligent! lol

Ok,

1. He didn't say that at all. More like "truth in advertizing" and crazy claims for supplements.

2. He didn't say that either. See #1.

3. #1 again. As far as I know, terrorists aren't covered under the convention anyway.

4. He said he would not take the nuclear option off the table. #1. and so what if he said that. lol.

5. All of them on a "list"? Did he explain what he means by list? #1 again.

It's all BS word twisting and ignorance by his detractors and haters.

Now put his quotes out here to prove what he said.

Otherwise you are the low IQ that is spreading doom porn.

a reply to: Rocker2013


You forgot the all out range war between the sheepherders and cattle barons that he will start up again.

Beware of anyone offering you a job putting up barbed wire fences for less than $15 hr, btw.

Better check under your bed before you go to sleep, Trump might be hiding there.

Jesus Christ could be elected president and the national debt wouldnt go down a cent. You ALL are dreaming. We ALL are. Its a sham.

I'm in a state of shock at the moment. When I saw the thread title I assumed it was sarcasm. But no?

Refreshing you say?

Refreshing like the movie Idiocracy, only with racism and lots of war. His slogan should be "Fools Rush in where Wise Men Fear to Tread".

Come on man, this is some politics 101 stuff.

Exactly. I always chuckle when people say that Trump "isn't a politician". HA! He could teach classes on how to be a politician! He knows how to make the back room deals, how to fool the people, how to USE the people to get what he wants, how to lie, etc... He's an A-1 politician of our time!

I can't think of a worse pair than Trump/Cruz.

I think that if Trump is elected, the Fed will stop quantitative easement. Currently, the Fed is dumping billions into the market, creating an artificial "sham" market.

There has to be a correction. The US cannot do this forever. Obama plans on doing this until he leaves office, then it'll correct itself.

But it's all about quantitative easement and the lies of Wall street and the current administration.

a reply to: carewemust

The Washington Post seems to be amazed that a front-runner for Republican nomination would speak so frankly and candidly about his belief.. that a major U.S. Recession is imminent.

I dont like trump for president, but I think we have had enough BS answers from our leaders with their Politically correct answer, and the better sounding answers when the Harsh truth is what they should be giving us.

They really have been treating the American people like children . Unfortunately it does not appear to be because of good intentions but rather conflict of interest and secret agendas.

The thing about trump is that he spews so much crap , that every once in a while he hits the nail right on the head.

Why doesnt he just do what us brits did and put "great" Infront of America.

Great Britain.

Great America

Make me president?

Actually I think Trump might do the opposite.

I think he wants to devalue USA currency to help exports.


Im not really going to argue with Trump on that as it does have some merit.

I'm gonna open up our libel laws so that when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles we can sue them and win lots of money

You already have libel laws, what he's talking about is shutting down press freedom in America to prevent journalists from telling you the truth about people like him. He specifically states "horrible" and "negative" - meaning it doesn't matter if it's true or not. You already have libel laws to deal with false accusations, the reality is that he can't silence them in court because they're printing THE F-ING TRUTH.

If you see someone getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them would you?

3. #1 again. As far as I know, terrorists aren't covered under the convention anyway.

The problem is we have the Geneva Conventions, all sorts of rules and regulations, so the soldiers are afraid to fight

So you're happy to get rid of the Geneva Conventions?
If you don't know what that means, the Geneva Conventions are a set of rules every civilized nations agreed to in order to prevent the mass murder of innocent civilians. The Geneva Conventions are a means to hold accountable those who target civilians in war, like in Bosnia, in Syria, in WW2.

By stating that the Geneva Conventions are a "problem", Trump is suggesting that all out war with the mass murder of civilians is "acceptable".

I’m not going to take it off the table for anybody

Yes, MEANING IT'S AN OPTION.
Therefore, he has admitted that he would consider using Nuclear weapons in Europe.
Presumably you're fine with this threat too?

There should be a lot of systems, Beyond databases. I mean, we should have a lot of systems.

How can we "twist" things HE HAS OPENLY STATED?!
You have your quotes, which were all out there for you to see also.
How are you going to deny he said these things now?

And do you still support this ignorant, hateful, disgusting creature?

To be honest, this is kind of a pointless conversation, considering Trump will never be president. There is no chance any Republican is going to become president for the simple fact that most of America is now democrat. Unless something miraculous happens in the next few months, the Dems will come out in force to elect either Hillary or Bernie, and the Republicans will likely experience their worst defeat in history.

Together we can make America doubly great again

a reply to: crazyewok

I accept. We can make our first visit as heads of state to our oldest ally, Even Greater Britain.

We can also visit Not So Great France and aggravate the frogs.

First it was hope and change now it's change then hope, same record just backwards.

I just start a thread about a prediction I'm making of a very near future major economic downturn.

Listen...My degree was in economics...I can make two predictions...we will have an economic downturn in the future...I can also predict and upturn...I can also predict it will snow in Chicago this year and it will rain sometime in the next 3 months...

Get it?

The markets are like the seasons...While they will fluctuate...there is no hurricane on the radar similar to the great recession we just emerged from. We are in spring right now...Moderate temperatures...some brief cold and hot spells...but summer will not be winter.

Honestly...The bulk of the country does not have the money to be heavily over-invested in real-estate, stocks etc.

It is why every time the stock market has gone up and down over the past couple years...most of the country watches the news and says "who cares".

The middle class has to have money to gamble with in order for there to be widespread danger and the middle class is saving and paying off debt with any pocket change they are earning. There is no bubble to burst.

* Trump is just pulling out the apocalypse card because he thinks it makes him appear a more attractive candidate.

To me...he would be the worst man to have in the WH during an economic crisis, he has survived past crisis through bankruptcy laws and bailouts by his financial backers. SEVERAL times.

Does anyone else get the sense that the Trump campaign is an ongoing train wreck punctuated with bloviating explosions of pure nonsense?
