Precisely because he ISN’T a politician.

Country would be in a lot better place financially if we’d had more businessmen (or at least had business experience) at the top.


Still think you’re an idiot bot,
prove me wrong.

I know this is a political thread. It sure as hell isn't an economic thread. Everyone points to inflation as a sign that the economy is toast.

I thought I've been clear, I'm trying to learn. Part of what I'm curious about, is why anyone thinks Trump is fit to be President.

I've thought he was a poor choice the first time around. I was very surprised that his administration was middling. That was so much better than I predicted.

His tax cut was as big a mistake as President Biden's Covid largesse in terms of inflation. Trump's tax cut gave money to the rich and President Biden's gave it mainly to the "regular" citizen although everybody who could line up at the trough, did.

One of the greatest strengths of our economic system is price fluctuation. If you are old enough, you will remember when gasoline ran out at the pumps. Production didn't rise when the shortage occurred and investment in refineries lagged because it wasn't worth the risk to invest in a capped market.

You want prices to drop, don't pay the price. You are free.

My support also comes from he is not a politician. The republicans and democrats are afraid of him. He will and has put republicans in there place. Regardless of his demeanor he puts America first as should all politicians

… a headline of an article that said, "Trump warns that the streets will run red with blood if he is not reelected". That is very democratic.

So, is that your argument for continued high inflation being okay? Wow, could you have a more arrogant attitude - or a dumber outlook? Are you suggesting that inflation is not a real issue? Tell me what happens when the cost to service the debt surpasses the GDP. Oh, that's right. You'll just move back to Canada. Somehow, I don't think they'll be immune from the fallout. Socialists eventually run out of other people's money.

Most here don't have serious financial problems or they wouldn't own boats. But some people in the country are just starting out and trying to become financially independent. Others are just not as fortunate and have faced some major unexpected financial adversities - like the government shutting down their businesses for 2 years while requiring them to continue paying property taxes. But I'm sure you saw that event coming years in advance. Still others just don't have the mental capacity to figure out the right way to plan. But I digress...

My planning, has worked out well for me, as I'm sure the planning of most here has for them (or they wouldn't own pleasure craft). But I'm not arrogant enough to think that I didn't also benefit from a certain amount of luck, or that I'm somehow immune from potential problems arising in the future. Mike Tyson's quote comes to mind, "Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face."

A number of years back, I had to shut down a company and lay off 36 employees as a direct result of the dopes in Washington passing the Dodd-Franks bill. As is often the case, that bill had some little-known, ridiculous clauses that made it virtually impossible for some totally legitimate companies to survive. One of my companies fell into that category. There was simply no way to remain profitable and comply with some of those clauses. I was personally able to regroup after the shut down, but not all of those workers were so fortunate. Some did okay, some encountered major financial set backs. All of them would have been in more trouble if food and fuel prices were rising the way they have recently risen. One of them committed suicide after going bankrupt. Too bad he didn't plan on Dodd-Franks eliminating his job, huh?

The arrogance you emit is typical of the Trump-haters and paradoxically, a major contribution to his political success. Maybe it's time to get off your high horse and take a look at the real world around you and the people who populate it instead of patting yourself on the back and suggesting to "let them eat cake".

This is the problem people are easily fooled. The old saying it's easier to fool people than try and explain they have been fooled

Sounds like what the MSM says. But it is not true. Lower paid people saw nice increases in their pay. People that were big in real estate paid more because of the cap on the write off for RE taxes. There are many more examples you are wrong. Corporations received a tax cut. But did you ever look at who the corporations are made up from. Majority are mom and pop. It was huge to these. The Trump tax write off was a win for the American people.

You're not trying to lear. You're a troll.

And these guys love feeding trolls. :)

You certainly weren't worried about debt when Trump increased it more in 4 years than any President.
All the Tumpers pounded their chests and said yea when Trump decided to reduce taxes without a plan to offset the lost revenue.
Do I feel sorry for any of the Trumpers complaining about the price of ground beef, not in a million years. No one should rely on the government to look after them. You plan and look after yourself.

I was not ok with the spending under Trump. Actually I was pissed when he signed that budget. That is one of the areas I disagreed with Trump. People will not like the cuts that will need to be made when this comes to a head.

Thursday I took my 2019 Lariat into the dealer for a tailgate recall. I looked at a new one. Went back Friday and have it for a test drive weekend. I'm probably going to buy it. My youngest daughter bought a house in 2021 and a new Jeep in January. I have a cousin on a group trip to Egypt right now and one that just came back from Paris. Funny how people that plan and prepare their financial future don't seem to have a problem.

Wow, you're really rich. My oldest son has a Silverado Z71 that cost $80K and a C7, and a house. I bought a new lake condo last year for twice what I paid for my house and bought my wife a top of the line VW Atlas. My youngest son has a BMW and an Acura and bought a new house last year. I took my family and my Mom to Scottsdale for an all expenses paid trip over Christmas. I can do this all day, but what does that have to do with the price of ground beef? It doesn't change the fact that everyday necessities have doubled under your boy Joe. I never said that it was a problem for me. But I have young accountants that work for me and have kids and it is a problem for them. I have empathy for them. Look it up. I hope you are just lying about being a teacher. If not, I hope your former students got a refund.

You know what they say, “ Those who can’t do, teach”.

I find irony in his post when taxpayers/government paid his salary and his retirement.
