   The BORDER has been Trump's schick since that infamous escalator ride in 15.  What did Trump do with the 4 years he had in office :shrug: 
   Whatever he did, didn't work AT ALL. 
   The problem is exponentially worse now.

It’s on the border that Trump is much better on than Biden. If I was Trump, I would win or lose by making the border crisis my top issue

Basically, Trump needs to drop the populist crap and go back to Reaganomics.

Things are more complex than they were in the 1980’s

Debt to GDP ratio is over 120% thanks to Obama/Trump/Biden and their congressional collaborators.  Now, we are in a position were just paying interest on the debt is roughly what we pay for defense/military

Also, interest rates were kept too low for too long after the 2007-2008 crash. A point,btw, Trump correctly pointed out the folly of when he ran but then tried to pressure the Federal Reserve in 2019 to lower them to zero. Thankfully, the Fed protected him from his own stupidity at the time

No, it's not. I called helping our ALLIES!

Yes, giving away money borrowed on the backs of OUR grandchildren we desperately need to protect OUR sovereignty is insanity.

That isn't going to happen. Trump went to Capital Hill to testify for Democrats against Reaganomics back in the eighties. He wanted tax rates raised and tax deductions for investing in real estate to funnel investor money to his projects...

Wouldn't removing Hamas from Gaza help Israel?

On the contrary, it was his supporters that were in a coma. And even worse, some of the stuff he’s proposing now.



His so-called fantastic economy, for example,  wasn’t as fantastic as his supporters like to pretend. It was good. But it wasn’t “historic”

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gdp-growth-under-trump-compares-121008953.html

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.

Overall, U.S. GDP growth was highest under Clinton and Reagan in this group. GDP growth was lowest under Trump and Obama.






And(pre pandemic)

But recent headlines and new sets of data are raising questions about exactly where the economy is heading as 2020 approaches. Increasingly it looks like the president’s stabilizer is headed for some bumpy times.

To start with, it appears some of the nation’s good economic times have not been as good as we thought they were.


Now he’s proposing more policies that many agree inflationary but the debate is by how much. From Larry Summers, who also accurately predicted Bidenflation would not be transitory

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4601150-summers-trump-term-inflationary-spiral/amp/
Summers explained that Trump’s populist economic policy could also infringe on the Federal Reserve’s independence, risking higher inflation and leading to high spending.

“Look, there’s a model for populism. It’s the way that the way most countries in Latin America have been run most of the time since the Second World War,” he said. “And to put it mildly, it hasn’t been conspicuously economically successful.”

He warned Trump’s policies could lead to hyperinflation, comparing the situation to 1950s Argentina — an economic collapse that led to social unrest.


Although watching the MSNBC commenters having a meltdown on election night should Trump win  would be entertaining, the short term rush would quickly wear off should  Trump get his way economically. Then that would ensure that a Democrat would get elected in 2028 and that person could get a potential eight years. I maintained at the time that if the housing market didn’t crash and take the economy with it at the time it did, Obama wouldn’t have been elected

Choosing not to vote for anyone at the top of the ticket this year isn’t an emotional exercise for some of us. There are some real red flags when it comes to Trump. The argument can’t simply be “Biden sucks” because we all know that.

In order for me to even remotely reconsider, Trump would have to change course and adopt a policy of economic libertarianism combined with fiscal conservatism. So far, I see neither

Surely, they aren't going to be expected to pay for their healthcare.  The taxpayers will help, won't they? :whistle:

Oh we’re going to pay for it with more than our taxes. Our  healthcare costs are going to go up.
