Bottom post of the previous page:

Trump does not actually have any official power yet

But he did bring back some jobs through negotiations already, though that was mostly just making it so that those jobs didn't end up leaving in the first place. Clearly he can already do things even without everything being official

Stock markets will always go up and down, that's just how they work. It is impossible for them to go up all the time, and policy on them is more just about hoping that you've left office by the time the whole thing collapses again.

Yeah and I thought that the markets have been doing pretty well not just for the US but worldwide after Trump got voted for. The two are probably disconnected, but I think if anyone can run the US well it's Trump.

I know you're all smarter than this.
Stock market is going up, rapidly.
That is a bubble forming.
A bubble just like the one that came before the 2008 recession.
After George W Bush won.
Who also won due to poorly timed protest voting.
A bubble is forming because Trump said he'd drop taxes to 15% (Which is ludicrous)
Dropping taxes is deregulation of the market.
You have to be retarded if you think people won't take advantage of that.
Thats like bolting open the Vault as cap and acting surprised when people steal from it.

You DO know that the president can affect the economy drastically.
Again, FDR, and his cousin, Teddy.


If dropping taxes wasn't a big deal, Republicans wouldn't be begging for it constantly.

WHEN THAT BUBBLE POPS
AND WHEN YOU FEEL THE FULL AFFECT OF BREXIT
ITS ANOTHER GREAT DEPRESSION.

Dropping taxes is not deregulation, it is just an incentive to do more under the same rules, since the profit margin goes up. Though that is semantics

As far as the theory goes, this just grows the economy more and satisfies more demand. But in practice, it's going to grow and then run out of demand to satisfy, leaving it to either burst as a bubble, or shrink slowly. After which there will be a lot of complaints about how the economy isn't expanding and everything is bad.

The analogy with the bolted open vault is also wrong, as no stealing takes place as a result of dropping taxes. That already happens through the giant hole in the back of the vault that represents a shitton of tax loopholes that nobody ever seems to fix.

FDR put a bunch of Americans into a concentration camp, and his VP killed thousands of civilians to impress Stalin.

But its par for course for the Democrats, considering all the other times the party has enacted a policy of racial extermination and oppression and entering our country into massive costly wars, both on our own soil and abroad.

Bold and Tweets are mutually exclusive.

Also what did you expect would happen for The Wall(TM), that el presidente of Mexico would personally write a check to Trump paying for it? Of course it was gonna be paid through tariffs.

I think you missed the point.
Taxpayers are going to front the cost.
As in we pay for it.
Then after an unknown period of time, we will get that money back from Mexico.
We might end up making less money from immigration, because raising immigration prices encourages people to find other methods to get into the country, if they can't afford it.

And I'm really not sure that forcing a country to pay for something they don't want is exactly a "Moral high ground"

It's not like Trump voters didn't believe Russians were behind the hacks and election interference thing, they simply didn't care. Like they didn't care about most "bombshells" dropped by the MSM that were supposed to somehow sway voters away from him. That's a key point that most dems seem to miss but that from an outside view is perfectly obvious. So they kept going with stuff like "See Trump actually said this thing, he actually did this other thing, he actually did commit this crime" and so on, completely oblivious to the fact that NOBODY FUCKING CARED (not to mention those who were swayed back to him BECAUSE he said and did those things)

If you want to blackmail someone, it's going to have to be with something that actually hurts them if it gets released. So generally criminal acts or other similarly charged things work
