The Trump Presidency

[goldfly]

hey it's 2018

maybe this is the year we are lucky enough for this out of shape ****ing loser to finally have the massive heart attack or stroke he deserves

[goldfly]

It must be killing you how much good Trump has done in his first year. ****, its even possible that he helped create the conditions for Iran to be free again. Remember, the adults are now in charge and the world is better off for it.

lol

Could have been reported by the Times over a month ago. But this is not shocking. Maybe since its now in the NYT left will believe it.

Anyone want to touch this?

I'm guessing that this is a no here - I mean why discuss all of the illegal actions that democrats took during hte election. Lets focus on fake russia collusion!!!

Great response. Collusion was a farse that you fell for. It was a diversion for what truly happened.

Goldfly: "Trump is a ****ing loser who deserves to die of a heart attack, along with his supporters who deserved to die in hurricanes"

also Goldfly: "What's wrong with Che?"

Fixed it for you.

Goldie, why do you love Che? Seriously.

While you are correct... what I said was a direct and very real quote

If anyone still doubted what trump has done/accomplished.

He looks like he's lost a bunch of weight since taking office.

I haven't checked, but I'd be willing to bet that the majority of major drug breakthroughs come from American companies as they are allowed to make a profit from innovation.

This is going way back, but I'm playing catch up. Antibiotic resistance is increasing at a terrifying pace right now. We need drug research more now than at any point in the last hundred years.

You're often criticizing others for making "emotional arguments." Now you're highlighting an article that shows us businesses making spending decisions based on how they feel about deregulation.

The evidence is weak that regulation actually reduces economic activity or that deregulation stimulates it. But business executives are largely convinced that the cost of complying with rules diverts money that could be invested elsewhere. And economists see a plausible connection between Mr. Trump’s determination to prune the federal rule book and the willingness of businesses to crank open their vaults. Measures of business confidence have climbed to record heights during Mr. Trump’s first year.

“The notion that deregulation unleashes growth is virtually impossible to find in the data,” said Jared Bernstein, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities who served as the chief economic adviser to Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. “What does matter is this idea that confidence matters. If their expectations about the future are positive, then it does make a difference.”

And the White House is touting it based on how they feel about it:

Though he cautioned that it could take years of research to pin down the magnitude of the effects, he said deregulation was “the most plausible story” to explain why economic growth in 2017 had outstripped most forecasts.

“Our view is, the ‘no new regulations’ piece has to be more powerful than we thought,” he said.

All these feels.

This certainly challenges sturg's orthodoxies, but it's an informative snapshot.

I think he should center his 2020 re-election campaign around his remarkably successful no-plane-crashes policy.

I think he should center his 2020 re-election campaign around his remarkably successful no-plane-crashes policy.

And in addition he ought to use his humility as a campaign theme. He's the humblest man he knows.

I don't see how the two are the same thing. Deregulation eliminates costs of compliance. Those are real numbers. They are positive about the future because they will have less expense on their P&L.

Contrast that to the argument about immigration. We are told we have to be better people and let everyone into the country but we never talk about facts like the costs they have to country both in real dollars and intangable like crime and worsened conditions for other minorities already in the country.

I just don't see how you could think these are the same thing at all.

Bottom line is the economy is humming and its because of conservative principles. Now lets see how long the high can last.

And these are the things that all of us don't like about Trump.
