    The end justifies the means? If those means included criminal conspiracy with Russia? Financial crimes (emoluments, money laundering)? The most corrupt administration ever? Pathological lying?

    But your company got a tax break.

    If those means meant irreparable harm to the environment? Inflation? Huge deficits? Recession? Even larger disparity between the wealth and the rest of us?

    But your company got a tax break.

    Curious though... would reduced unemployment and improving economy been possible without trump?

    The Great Recession??? Both W and Trump inherited excellent economies from previous democratic administrations and we know how one ended up, hopefully Trump doesn't **** it up like W did.

    What has he done to cause :

    A.) Inflation?

    B.) Recession?

    C.) Wealth Disparity?

    This is hilarious. It's like you blame the guy for everything.

    This is such a childish, foolish understanding of how economies, recessions and markets work that it will make me
    dumber just to try to explain it to you.

    As for Bush caused the Great Recession and Obama saved us is such a poor understanding of what occurred that
    I really feel bad for you if you invested in your education.

    So you think Bush caused the Tech Bubble Crash in 2000-2002 then caused the 2007-2009 Credit Crisis and recession and then Obama saved them??

    Deregulation and a complete lack of responsible oversight caused the Liquidity Crisis of 2007, otherwise a domestic housing bubble popping wouldn't have caused the most severe global liquidity crisis since the Great Recession.

    Think about what you just said about Obama, most of it was false but I'm not going to get in a long debate on a forum on a work day to go through the particulars of why you're completely incorrect about him. Just follow you fearless leader no matter what, that's what idiots like you will do regardless.

    You can thank Bill Clinton for the 2007 economic crisis.

    Great response. You can't attack an argument or a poster so now you resort to calling people traitors and russians if
    they disagree! This Russia nonsense will be looked back on as one of the greatest frauds perpetuated by a political party
    /media class on an American elected president in American history.

    YOU LOST. People preferred other ideas to yours. And instead of willingness to accept the will of the voters it is using
    the government and its media allies to kill a president due to complete repudiation of your belief system.

    The people don't want the bullshit you're selling as IT DOESN'T WORK! Stop trying to demonize and force others
    through edicts on how to live you pansies.

    This is why people are dumber. They type three words into google and copy links and think they understand an
    argument. And assume because a few of the millions of bloggers/writers around the world agree with them then
    they're correct.

    Sending links is not making an argument as its obvious you have no idea what you're talking about.

    Times, CBS, Forbes are not "a few of the millions of bloggers around the world"

    It wasn't Clinton and it wasn't Bush. It was a multi faceted situation that had been boiling for 30+ years. Beginning with
    collateralized debt securities in the 1970's, expansion of Fannie/Freddie into subprime, Investment banks following suit,
    global institutional investors buying the hell out of it, individuals greed wanting to make money on the rise of homes, stupid
    insurers like AIG insuring crap, leverage rates of i-banks etc. etc. etc.

    But the idea that we can regulate away recessions or bubbles or excesses in economic markets is just ludicrous.

    The next recession is always different from the last and so on and so forth.

    Its human behavior, the fear of missing out, and the pendulum of fear and greed that will always cause market cycles.

    One can google and find similar articles from 'reputable sites' saying the exact opposite.

    I like to argue the facts, not fight with links.

    No thanks. You can do the basic work of those unable to articulate an argument and find articles saying
    Trump reducing chance of recession or that Wealth disparity decreased under Trump.

    Its asinine to prove one's point by sharing an 'article'

    Odd, I chose a blend of different reputable news sources. I guess anything that disagrees with you is "fake news".

    Oh goodness, the YOU LOST, GET OVER IT argument.

    YOU WON AND YOU ARE VASTLY OUTNUMBERED. No one is looking for a recount. We are looking to delegitimize the POTUS and make him a one term president, just as the previous opposition party made clear was their goal from day one.

    You get over it.

    I hope everything Trump’s done and said, every promise and every lie he has told, is brought against him during the next election campaign as evidence of his fraudulence and incompetence.

    We The People.
