Thread: President Donald Trump

Kim: I've got your tax returns. Shall I send them to Wikileaks or Mueller.

Baldy orange cunto: Oh shit, is that the time?......

U.S. economic growth was better than expected as 2018 came to a close, with GDP rising 2.6 percent, according to a first estimate the Commerce Department released Thursday.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expected a gain of 2.2 percent after a 3.4 percent rise in the third quarter. The growth came amid a bevy of uncertainty and a time when the stock market briefly slid into bear market territory.
While the GDP report was only preliminary, it would mean average growth for the year was 3.1 percent.

You can keep the fucking thing growing forever if you keep paying for it with ever growing deficits.

But of course, we all know the squealing GOP will be saying how bad it all is when they're not in power.

And as soon as they're in power again, they'll borrow more.

I don't really get how you don't understand this, it isn't complex maths.

CNBC's a TV channel,right!

Trump and GOP promised economic growth much better than Obama’s.
That’s not what happened

President Donald Trump’s central claim about his economic policies officially crashed into reality on Thursday.

Throughout the 2016 campaign and since, the president and his party have vowed to kick-start tepid Obama-era economic growth. Specifically, they insisted tax cuts and deregulation would return growth to its post-World War II average of 3 percent — a level, candidate Trump said derisively, that President Barack Obama became “the first president in modern history” never to reach in a single year.


New government data on Thursday morning show that Trump, too, has failed to reach the 3 percent promised land, according to one major metric. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis measured 2018 growth at 2.9 percent, matching the peak Obama enjoyed in 2015.

So, Obama, who inherited a mess from the village idiot Dubbya, oversaw a steady trend downwards throughout his tenure, and this trend was inherited by Orange Cunto.
Hows them stock market figures, BTW?

The Baby-in-Chief has the vocabulary of a 4th grader. (But a bit more vulgar, I'd say).

FTFY.

Heh...Trump played that 'summit' perfectly. Kim can't manipulate him and Kim know it.
The Chi-Coms will be having more heart to heart talks with little Rocket Man.

Trump just gave a great speech in Alaska to the forces defending the USA. All the lies, hate and smears thrown at him everyday, constant attempts to bring him down and he carries on doing a fantastic job for the country.

...I find myself left wishing that we had a better class of Trump trolls on this forum.

Trump came away with nothing (except ill will.)

list of trumpo arguments:

Hilary has emails
Hillary lost
donald trump is president
yeah...but emails(again)
FBI's corrupt....in spite of the fact the last minute announcement that the HRC case would be re-opened benefited trump
he plays 3d chess.....which means 'you think he lost but he won cuz...3d chess'


I wasn't a big W fan but at least he had followers that could put forth a coherent reason for supporting him

You have a lot of hate in your heart don't you xanax. Even for storage spaces.

Anyways this whole Trump-worship thing you've got going is a new wrinkle so good luck with that.

Ditto his policies. They were at least mostly coherent as well.

None of this seat-of-the-pants-and-claim-the-win/loss-as-the-intended-outcome bizzo.

Trump literally can't lose in the eyes of his diehard supporters because such is the turd-polishing even his failures are announced as great wins.
