    As for the wall and who pays for it. Get Israel to pay for it. We paid for theirs.

    Give me a fucking break. For 8 years the negative hard core right wing propoganda never stopped from Obamas birth certificate to people claiming he was a muslim.
    Now you're going to cry? Talk about hypocrisy.

    Bill gets it...

    From Bill Gross formerly of Pimco now at Janus:

    Populism Takes a Wrong Turn

    The Trumpian Fox has entered the Populist Henhouse, not so much by stealth but as a result of Middle America's misinterpretation of what will make America great again. Not having voted for either establishment party's candidate, I write in amazed, almost amused bewilderment at what American voters have done to themselves. A Reuters/Ipsos Election Day Survey of 10,000 voters revealed the extraordinary fury of the American populist movement. Almost 72% agreed that "the American economy is rigged to the advantage of the rich and powerful". Count me among them, yet in voting to deny Hillary Clinton the Henhouse, they "unwittingly" (lack of wit), let Donald Trump sneak in the side door. His tenure will be a short four years but is likely to be a damaging one for jobless and low-wage American voters. They were the force for Trump's flipping the Midwest into a Republican Electoral College victory. But while the Fox promised jobs and to make America great again, his policies of greater defense and infrastructure spending combined with lower corporate taxes to invigorate the private sector continue to favor capital versus labor, markets versus wages, and is a continuation of the status quo.
    Full letter here:

    ^^CP, just curious...but is your main attraction to Trump because of his position on Muslims? I'm getting that feeling.

    Janus' Gross says Trump will be one-termer, in failure for populism

    Pretty spot on analysis...

    President-elect Donald Trump will last no more than four years in the White House, a period when corporations and Wall Street will retain the upper hand over the struggling workers who helped elect him in a populist wave, bond manager Bill Gross of Janus Capital Group Inc (JNS.N) said on Wednesday.


    In his monthly investment outlook, "Populism Takes a Wrong Turn," Gross also said "there is no new Trump bull market in the offing," and that global diversified investors should be "satisfied" with 3 percent to 5 percent annual returns.
    "The Trumpian Fox has entered the Populist Henhouse, not so much by stealth but as a result of Middle America's misinterpretation of what will make America great again," Gross wrote.


    "[Trump's] tenure will be a short four years but is likely to be a damaging one for jobless and low-wage American voters," Gross added. "I write in amazed, almost amused bewilderment at what American voters have done to themselves."
    Gross became the world's most famous bond fund manager at Allianz SE's (ALVG.DE) Pacific Investment Management Co, where he ran Pimco Total Return (PTTRX.O) and worked until 2014, when he joined Janus.


    He now oversees the $1.7 billion Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund (JUCAX.O).
    In his outlook, Gross said he did not vote for the Republican Trump or Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, and admitted that Clinton probably would not have done much better redistributing wages toward the working class.


    He said it was "doubtful" that Trump's plan to repatriate huge corporate profits to the United States for infrastructure spending would succeed, saying that a similar effort in 2004 resulted in large stock buybacks, dividend payouts and corporate bonuses, but no noticeable pickup in investment.


    Gross said Trump's policies mark a "continuation of the status quo," and that government could step in with a "Help America" jobs program to bolster labor in ways that overleveraged, cost-conscious corporations might not.


    Regardless, Gross said "populism is on the march" and could last for decades unless workers' share of gross domestic product reverses its downward trend. Trump's immigration, tax and trade policies might not promote that outcome, he said.


    "Global populism is the wave of the future, but it has taken a wrong turn in America," he wrote.


    "Investors must drive with caution, understanding that higher deficits resulting from lower taxes raise interest rates and inflation, which in turn have the potential to produce lower earnings and P/E (price-earnings) ratios," Gross added.
    Gross' fund through Monday returned 4.5 percent this year, outpacing 68 percent of its peers, according to Morningstar Inc data. Janus last month announced a plan to merge with London-based Henderson Group Plc.

    My thoughts are he doesn't seem that healthy and is of the age the stress of the job might get to him. I wouldn't be surprised if he passed away in his sleep. Second, I would not be surprised if he didn't even run for a second term.

    He had no clue what he was getting into and is completely over his head. He is already stumbling hard. He is talking about how he plans to take the weekends off and that he won't be staying at the White House. Conflict of interest concerns are already coming up with regards to how he plans to run his businesses. He has to make 4,000 appointments in the coming month and word is that they have no clue how they are going to come up with all the people to do that. The disaster is real.

    Read somewhere yesterday he is considering commuting between the WH and his penthouse apartment. Saw a person describe his leadership style as ... "Franchising out the Presidency to Mike Pence" ...

    And Pence is on record as saying that he considers Cheney to be his role model for the No.2 job.

    This will not end well.

    You are the brainwashed lemming that constantly posts complete bullshit from right wing fake news sites. Everything in my post has been repeated by countless news outlets. Continue to bury your head in the sand.

    I posted on Chico's whacko thread that they were friends that went way back. That one pic at Trump's wedding where Hillary is looking up at Trump looks to me like a gaze almost of adoration...at the very least a gaze of admiration.

    Drain the swamp and then refill it with a John Bolton? Seriously?

    As for the wall and who pays for it. Get Israel to pay for it. We paid for theirs.
    Wouldn't surprise me if Trump offers Clinton a job. Maybe a prize Ambassador job.

    If Pence is truly on the neocon train then Jim Webb will never get one of the cabinet jobs.

    HRC. Politicans like Mondale, Mansfield, Baker and one other big name I can't recall at the moment ( 30 year Congressman from WA) have capped off their careers as Ambassador to Japan.
