Trump throws support behind Export-Import Bank
« on: April 12, 2017, 08:29:41 pm »
Quote
President Trump on Wednesday threw his support behind the Export-Import Bank, a stark reversal of his opposition to the lender during the 2016 presidential campaign. ....

..The president’s about-face is likely to anger conservative Republican critics of the bank, who say it has enabled crony capitalism. Many believed that with Trump in the White House and GOP control of Capitol Hill, the bank’s days were numbered. ...

The problem with populists, they have no foundational beliefs and will change with the breeze.

Trump loves corporate subsidies and handouts. Did anyone forget that?

Correct me if I am wrong here, but didn't he say that NAFTA was a terrible deal and was going to be renegotiated?  I'm still waiting ... and TPP and TPA are not going to be good.

I realize time will tell; but if Trump can make a buck off of the TPP he'll jump right in.

It must be the multidimensional thing, he's magically on both sides of practically every issue over time... Pretty remarkable achievement for the "non politician" politician...

Who gives a damn about this?   Only the same tired cabal of losers hanging around to harp about everything.

I'm one of those Trump supporters that would still vote for him if he shot somebody on 5th Avenue.    :laugh:

He saved the Supreme Court, and thus, the Republic as Founded.

He's all about creating jobs and business and better international relations with our allies.   And that includes Russia.

...meanwhile, he's taking names and kicking ass.

Depends on whether President Trump continues upon a more or less Conservative path. Or if he goes neo-con/dem. That is the problem with electing someone without core Conservative values.

Do not mistake me, so far so good in the whole.

But with no core position/value..... maybe the next SCOTUS.. say a ginsberg replacement, he will flip again. Have to be a President of ALL you K'no.

But yes.. better than Hillary... not better than Ted.

Really confused again ... I thought that in January Trump signed orders to withdraw from the TPP --- so --- this is different -- how?

Secondly....this is the issue that Mitch McConnell lied to Cruz about ... telling him there was no deal!

NATO, China as a currency manipulator, fiscal policy regarding interest rates and dollar strength, and this.
