DRUMPF IS A DISASTER - HE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE DOING - HE CRAZY - HE EVIL - HE WORK FOR RUSSIA - HE SENILE - HE RAYCIS - HE HATE WOMEN
Also - this disastrous president is outflanking the whole world in diplomacy, our country enjoying record unemployment, and US is economically back to #1 most competitive country in the world.
Enjoy your tax cuts and your new jobs, everyone. And good luck pinning your political hopes on a porn star and a special prosecutor with no crime or case.Comment -
So these numbers are real? I remember when unemployment fell drastically under the previous president they were fake numbers according to right wingers and the current president.
Odd how that changes now.Comment -
How bout it... I remember when Obama took office and we were losing a half million jobs a month or something ridiculous like that, and a week after he took office Republicans were saying "so where's all the new jobs?" Lol
The economy is the Queen Mary 2, the president is a little tugboat... it takes a while to turn this ship around.. one of the best indicators of the economy is Auto Sales and they are way down.. that's what happens when you take money out of the hands of people that will spend it and give it to billionairesComment -
You got a $3 tax cut, and your kids (if you find a woman willing to have one with you) get a big debt to pay, and the rest of the world is playing Trump like a fiddle. They treat him like a stupid little spoiled child, they stick a pacifier in his mouth and you call it a victory

China is giving Ivanka her clothing and handbag trademarks and handing out loans to a Trump project in Indonesia so ZTE's getting off the hook for repeated sanction violations.
But we're bringing the hammer down on Canadian steel, an Ally that has fought side by side with our Troops in many wars..
