Comments like this are tacit approvals of HRC. I personally don't give two ***** about his character. He could walk necked across the White House lawn with 5 pornstars and he would still have HRC beat in the character department. When are you going to learn that we (at least I) didn't vote for the man, I voted for what he said he would accomplish and against HRC. So far I see myself as winning on both counts.

Lol

I'd like to see you prove that my post is a "tacit approval" of HRC.

Pro-tip: You can't. Your whole post is an exercise in logical fallacy.

So much came from that North Korea meeting. It's great that for the millionth time we've let down allies in the middle east...and another vacuum for ISIS to grow in. Those tax cuts came at the end of a nine year recovery cycle and worked out like a ****** student chugging a redbull at 3AM the night before the exam. Could've and should've waited to do that to stimulate corporate spending during the next eminent slowdown (he wants your popularity points, though).He would've most definitely run the economy into the ditch had he followed through with his 25% January tarrifs. He didn't change jack **** with with NAFTA. TPP would've resulted in fewer trade barriers for us in SE Asia, although RT and Sputnik would lead you to believe otherwise...

Trump is a crappy person and a garbage president.

Did you happen to notice that after the NK meeting, China recalled Kim and explained his duties and priorities. Dogs generally do the bidding of their masters when it comes to eating or starving. China always has proxies for stirring up wars and wearing down enemies ... easier to accomplish the damage and remain reasonably blameless with a patsy.

Do you think we (or any other outsider) can actually change the middle east for the better? The list of losers in Afghanistan, for example, is long ... and, by the way, there were no winners. Britain did prove repeatedly that you can make things worse in the middle east, though.

The economic rebound ... ever hear when you are at the bottom everything is up from there?

As far as trade goes, some day perhaps some of you will eventually grasp that a consumer economy without manufacturing is pretty much the same principle as perpetual motion. Doesn't work.

I liked it better when the lefties hated Romney for the 47% who didn't pay income tax remark, and the binder full of women that he kept. How soon they forget.

The meeting with North Korea temporarily stopped their known public testing. But so far no reduction in nuclear capability.

The withdrawals from Syria and Afghanistan are idealistic and were prompted by outside influences, without consulting those in government who have knowledge in the area.

Not pushing the economy into a ditch and tax reform are ramping up to be based on more failed trickle down philosophy. Let's see where we are in a year. (Hint, I'm buying gold and silver)

Renegotiation of trade deals is more than just pulling out of them.

Getting the corporate tax rate in line with the rest of the developed world is hardly trickle down economics. It was 35%, one of the highest in the world. Now it's 21%, not one of the lowest in the world.

Personal tax rates are still ridiculously oppressive. Lowering the highest marginal brackets may not have the same economic impact, but it's the correct thing to do. It's theft.

BHO had the benefit of starting with a ridiculously oversold equity market and tries to take credit for round after round after round of QE pumping it up. Other than a rising stock market, what else can he try to take credit for over his reign of domestic, economic terrorism? Affordable healthcare?

QE lifted equities out of the coffin...and it was Bernake's plan, not Obama's.

Rand Paul Hits Mitt Romney: ‘Big Government’ Republican Who ‘Never Liked Reagan’

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) slammed incoming “Big Government” Sen. Mitt Romney’s op-ed Wednesday while praising President Donald Trump’s “actual conservative reform agenda.”

“Like other Big Government Republicans who never liked Reagan, Mitt Romney wants to signal how virtuous he is in comparison to the President,” wrote Sen. Paul who cited an article on Republicans supporting former President Ronald Reagan. “Well, I’m most concerned and pleased with the actual conservative reform agenda @realDonaldTrumphas achieved”:

Just like in the EU, each individual country would lose a certain level of sovereignty for the good of the collective. Everything from patent law, price/wage controls, property rights, environmental law and the ability to trade outside of the collective are all on the table and in jeopardy.

Yes, US copyright and patent holders (i.e. corporations) are seriously threatened by any agreement with New Zealand. :rolleyes:

Meh, I think it has more to do with the idea that people, if they were smart, knew that Trump was going to be polarizing.

Indeed. If you watched the primaries I don’t know how anybody could seriously expect “oh well I guess now he’ll just fall in line and ‘act presidential’ ...”. That isn’t what got him elected.

I meant that BHO takes credit for higher equity prices, not for easing rates. He benefited from it and most of my liberal acquaintances (that really know nothing about investing) think that he caused markets to rise. They ignore his hatred of capitalism and promoting a hostile environment for US companies. He was a disaster.
