First, there’s the rhetoric

Now for the reality. Here  are your average GDP numbers for the last seven presidents as an example


n his eight years in office, U.S. GDP growth averaged 1.62% under Obama, about 70% higher than Trump’s growth rate.

Here’s a look at average GDP growth rates under the last six U.S. presidents:

Jimmy Carter (D): 3.25%

Ronald Reagan (R): 3.48%

George H.W. Bush (R): 2.25%

Bill Clinton (D): 3.88%

George W. Bush (R): 2.2%

Barack Obama (D): 1.62%

Donald Trump (R): 0.95%

In his first four years in office, Trump has had by far the lowest average U.S. GDP growth rate of any of the last seven U.S. presidents.

Keep in mind that Donald Trump did not come into office during any kind of financial or economic crisis


I don’t think it’s unfair to point out that Reagan did increased the federal workforce. It absolutely is a legitimate criticism. But I would love to have a presidential candidate run that would acknowledge that all president after Calvin Coolidge have helped increased our debt and what are we going to do about it going forward

Ok, there's a lot of factors involved here. Biden is frankly hurting due to inflation. People are fully aware of how much cheaper stuff was under Trump (and earlier) Presidency. Is Biden 100% responsible? Probably not, but this just shows you how detrimental an inflationary environment is to people's living standards and outlook.

This is our new world.

I worry about our military in this regard.

If they can render the controls useless, what they aren't saying is they can still control it, just not the folks on board.

Don’t forget about the two US Navy destroyers that completely lost power and were rammed by freighters in 2017.

That said, he completely out-maneuvered Tunnell to Towers Foundation on this.


Do you understand what you just said?   **nononono*

IOW,"the deposit HAS cleared!"

It’s not the deposit but the prospect of losing Michigan to Trump


The number of uncommitted votes in the primary has spooked him

I'll give kudos to DJT, for participating,  but the problem is, is his mouth.  If he turns this into a campaign rally, or says something really dumb, this will backfire badly.

Easily predicted

It’s tough for Biden to win without Mi. And he can’t afford for his pro HAMAS wing to stay home on election night.

And he already has the “Jewish” vote

AK-47 is of intermediate power, about like a .30-30, AK-74, similar to .223.

9mm pistols are common as cat crap. They're used worldwide.

Sniper Rifles.  While they may be getting some of those $5,000 and up actual sniper rifles, that's pretty spendy when they could just be buying some cheap surplus bolt actions somewhere.

"machine guns". Don't look for American gun owners to pony up a bunch of these, especially anything made since 1986, because they are illegal for the average person.
Older full auto firearms, made before 1986 can be bought with the permits, taxes and deep pockets, but are heavily regulated and not likely at all to be sold off to Haitians, or anyone else, for that mattter.

But Joe Biden imported so many people from so many places, it's entirely possible he brought in some Haitians with criminal connections or links to arms dealers who can pick those things up on the down-low..

To say things have been a mess there for a while would tend toward understatement, but I foresee a return to a warlord style dictator, and that wasn't pleasant for most.

@Smokin Joe

Has there ever been a time in recent history when Haiti WASN'T "a mess"? It was a bleephole when I was in the Dominican Republic in 66,or so. Mule and horse-drawn carts were the normal means of transportation,along with  those little Vespa 2 stroke 3 wheel whateverthehellthey  are.

And that was all considered to be normal.

Then again,so was VooDoo,which SEEMED to be the the national religion.
