Thread: President Donald Trump

Once you have backed up all your statements, I will consider it, but we both know both sides are represented on the internet. It is a waste of time quoting biased opinions and proves nothing. Any poll or research will be slanted toward the side sponsoring the article. My statements come from being a US citizen for 69 years and working in healthcare for over 40 of those years. Where do your general statements come from?

Oh, haha I missed this gem!

Is the entire US populace now made up of the elderly and the homeless? Cherry pick much? "Any citizen"? C'mon, at least put some effort in to it ffs...

The GOP is getting ready to privatise medicare right now, how much do you think that will help the elderly and the homeless?

Again, I ask you to show your work and the numbers that lead you to your conclusions.

Not cherry picking any more than you have.

Another dodge.

^^ You can not deny the fact that today 25 million people have medical insurance that didn't previously. The GOP intends to yank the rug out from under them.

That said many people have been tremendously prosperous over the last 8 years. Still problems of course but Obama is leaving the country better off then he got it. To deny that is a fools errand.

Obamacare was a good thing in principles, but I am afraid this is coming to an end, and the way it is setup, it will not stand for long, because of its poor financial structure

Trump has a point in wanting to repeal the current version. Sadly, he won't replace it with a better one.

The burden on small companies is making things worse. What the US needs is a complete overhaul of social protection.

Obamacare is really a hack.

Trump would have got elected ruskies hack or no, the point you are missing is the fact Trump is in denial about the fact that they did it.
He simply won't confront the fact that a hostile foreign government interfered in a U.S. election.
THAT'S the issue now.
You really do seem to have a lot riding on this Hillary thing.
No one cares anymore. Things have moved on, there are new and more important issues to deal with that a few emails between members of government.

Won't change anything for the already on Medicare, maybe better quality health care. Maducare is some what of a wreck already, hard to find a doctor who will take new Medicare patients.

In the general election he raised the money for his campaign the same way that Clinton did, from small and large private donors. So he is indebted to the same degree as every other candidate.

So instead of the middleman fund raiser getting the cabinet and Ambassador positions the rich, elitist donors themselves are getting the jobs.

American Optimism Over Economy Surging with Trump Presidential Win

Surging homebuilder optimism announced Thursday was yet another measure of Americans’ upbeat feelings about the economy in the wake of Donald Trump’s election as the next President of the United States.
A National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index revealed Thursday that “Builder confidence in the market for newly-built single-family homes” rose to its highest level since July 2005. This most recent index jumped seven points to 70.

“This notable rise in builder sentiment is largely attributable to a post-election bounce, as builders are hopeful that President-elect Trump will follow through on his pledge to cut burdensome regulations that are harming small businesses and housing affordability,” said NAHB Chairman Ed Brady.

The Chairman emphasized the importance of this in light of a 29 percent increase in regulatory costs for home building over five years.

“The rise in the HMI is consistent with recent gains for the stock market and consumer confidence,” said Brady who noted builder sensitivity to rising mortgage rates and lot and labor shortages.

Builder perceptions of single-family home sales and sales expectations for the next six months, as well as traffic of prospective buyers, rose across the board. Any measure that tops 50 “indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor,” according to NAHB.

The measure of prospective buyer traffic rose six points to 53. That is the highest and first time it has topped 50 since 2005.

Small business optimism has skyrocketed in direct correlation with Trump’s presidential election victory on November 8. The National Federation of Independent Businesses November Index of Small Business Optimism bifurcated the month to measure small business optimism before and after the election. The results showed that owners expect big league better business conditions with a total November increase of 44 percent. Pre-election that expectation was negative six, but post-election it soared to 38 percent.

In November the index surged 3.5 points to 98.4 percent, only the third time since 2007 it had risen above a 42-year average. Small businesses are 14 percent more likely to hire post-election.

“The positive correlation between commodities and a strong dollar has been one of the most notable dislocations in past cross-asset relations since Donald Trump won the U.S. Presidency in November” according to analysts at brokerage services firm Jefferies cited in Dow Jones Business News. With news of Federal Reserve optimism on Wednesday that spurred the Fed to raise interest rates 0.25 percent, shares of commodities producers including miners rose.

The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) fourth quarter economic outlook survey conducted from the day after the presidential election, November 9, to November 30 revealed that 62 percent of executive-level CPA decision makers in business and industry were now optimistic about the U.S. economy. That is up from just 38 percent in the third quarter. Only twice has that quarterly index been higher in the past four years. The same quarter just after the re-election of President Barack Obama in 2011 was ten points lower at 64.

Those surveyed in the AICPA index also were more likely to expand than the prior quarter and the same quarter a year ago. U.S. economic optimism alone jumped in 4Q16 to 76 from 64 in 4Q15. Revenues and profits were listed as expected to improve over the 12 months, as companies plan to hire and plan to spend on research and development and “other capital.” Each of these were listed as key performance indicators.

Gallup’s weekly U.S. Economic Confidence Index also rose above zero within two weeks of the election of Trump. The rise to eight as of 12/11/2016 marks the highest point in over eight years. This also marks only the second time in over eight years, since before Obama’s first election as President, that the index has risen over zero. The previous instance lasted a weeks from December 28, 2014 to February 15, 2015 and did not rise above five.

The 2014 midterm election just prior to the December 2014 spike delivered Republicans the U.S. Senate, giving them control of both houses of the U.S. Congress.

“Small businesses like unified Republican government,” Neil Dutta of Renaissance Macro Research LLC told Bloomberg, regarding the post-election surge in small business optimism.

“The Dow’s 8% gain in the five weeks after Donald Trump ’s victory is the biggest surge following any U.S. presidential election in history,” according to the Wall Street Journal.

On Wednesday the dollar became the strongest it has been against the Euro since 2003 according to Bloomberg. The rise came amidst the Fed announcement of optimism and a rate hike the same day.

Blue State Blues: Democrats’ Russian Hacking Story Affirms Hillary Clinton E-mail Scandal

It is odd that the very people who insisted, prior to the election, that Hillary Clinton’s email “mistake” was a non-scandal are now claiming hysterically that a Russian hacking effort tipped the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump.
The kind of hacking that the White House, the Democratic Party, and much of the mainstream media are suddenly so deeply concerned about is exactly what Hillary Clinton risked by storing classified information on an illicit private email server.

VIDEOClinton: "America needs you"

Let us stipulate, for the purposes of discussion, that the Russians are constantly trying to hack both government and private email — as are the Chinese, whose hacking of the Office of Personnel Management in 2015 caused a major security breach.

There is no evidence — none — that Russian hacking affected the voting process. In fact, the recounts initiated by Green Party candidate Jill Stein only reaffirmed the final result in the upper Midwest states where Trump broke through the “Blue Wall.”

The two hacking episodes in question refer to the the Democratic National Committee (DNC) email server, and the hack of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s email account. (Wikileaks released both sets of emails, denying Russian involvement.)

Whether the Russians were involved or not, it is arguably true that both email hacks did affect on the election, although it is impossible to quantify exactly what that effect was.

The DNC hack resulted in a public relations crisis for the party on the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) were enraged that the senior party leadership had evidently colluded with the Clinton campaign to ensure that she won the primary election. Other emails — such as an exchange discussing whether and how to make use of Sanders’ Jewish heritage, or his atheism — also hit the party hard. There were a wave of resignations, and disgruntled Sanders supporters staged a walkout at the convention.

The Podesta hack resulted in a series of daily scandals in the final weeks before the election, some of which implicated the campaign and some of which also tarnished the mainstream media. Trump referred repeatedly to Wikileaks in rally speeches on the campaign trail, and some Trump supporters began to regard Julian Assange as a national hero. (Assange’s role, just a few years ago, in leaking sensitive diplomatic communications — perhaps triggering the Arab Spring — was largely forgotten.)

Then, as now, the Clinton campaign blamed the Russians. But their response to the hacking was rather muted, both because the campaign did not want to give additional air time to the damaging revelations from the DNC and Podesta emails, and also because Democrats were doggedly insisting that Clinton’s email scandal was unimportant. It was, we were told, a mere lapse in judgment that had no national security implications whatsoever. The FBI, after all, said there had been no evidence of any successful hacking.

Experts were skeptical about that claim, and more evidence later emerged of foreign hacking attempts. Regardless, Clinton’s email server exposed crucial classified information to potential hacking by foreign intelligence.

The correct response for Democrats was not to declare, as Sen. Sanders did, that “the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails,” but to regard Hillary Clinton’s actions — and, more importantly, her lies — as disqualifying.

President-elect Trump has suggested that he might not, after all, pursue the various Clinton scandals once he takes office. That has been a disappointment to some supporters. But the Democrats, who ought to be seizing the opportunity to avoid further embarrassment, are doing their best to make the case for continuing the case by talking up Russian hacking conspiracy theories.

The DNC and Podesta hacks did not involve classified information or national security. Clinton’s email scandal did.
