Time for another tweet about how great the China trade talks are going.

To be fair, this has much more to do with the fed trying to return interest rates to a natural level than it does anything Trump has done, but this also explains that Trump's GDP and stock market numbers in the past were inflated.

When you do a lot of self-congratulating when the market goes up, it becomes a problem when the market goes down.

Since Barry’s been making the rounds taking credit for the gains since 2016 I’m guessing he’ll show up for the loss too right? I’m guessing it’ll be nah 2018 not my problem.

Stocks go up they go down. I don’t expect a POTUS to prevent it I just expect them to put policies in place to allow a rapid recovery.

In the same vain.

I, Pencil by Leonard E. Read | Leonard E. Read

“I, Pencil, simple though I appear to be, merit your wonder and awe, a claim I shall attempt to prove. In fact, if you can understand me—no, that’s too much to ask of anyone—if you can become aware of the miraculousness which I symbolize, you can help save the freedom mankind is so unhappily losing. I have a profound lesson to teach. And I can teach this lesson better than can an automobile or an airplane or a mechanical dishwasher because—well, because I am seemingly so simple.

Simple? Yet, not a single person on the face of this earth knows how to make me. This sounds fantastic, doesn’t it? Especially when it is realized that there are about one and one-half billion of my kind produced in the U.S.A. each year.”

Just negotiation rhetoric. What I would want Mexico's government to do would to help enforce the border and better manage migration (which I think that they tried to do with the Central American caravan orchestration... they offered residency to the refugees) and hit the drug cartels with overwhelming force. I'd love to see Mexico prosper... grow their manufacturing base and take shelf space from China in the Walmarts and the dollar stores. We have lots of jobs for them north of the border as well. Just want a more orderly and efficient guest worker system. I'd also love to see any US employers that disregard related laws be severely punished with huge fines and lots of jail time. We built up the prison infrastructure for the stupid war on drugs... set the users free and use that space for illegal migration criminals (not necessarily the migrants... the promoters of illegal migration (and save some cells for Pelosi, Gov. Moonbeam, Chuck, and any other politician that enables the chaos)).

For a moment you were starting to make a good point. Then it slid back into dumbness. Alas.

It's not really effective when Visa's expire, those "guests" disappear into the population, and bad players exploit the illegal workers with off the books wages. We can do better with our advancing technology. Facial recognition especially.

Your posts rarely deviate from dumbness. Perhaps a side effect of TDS.
