    You do not understand this because you are not a stable genius. You only wish you can understand the mind of a genius.

    So should every senator who voted for that tax cut. Especially the ones who will retire get hired by the same corporations that benefited from the tax cuts.

    Trump wasn't getting credit for a good economy, but will likely be credited for a recession.

    Sucks to be Trump.

    But we all must remember ... Trade Wars are easy to win*.

    * if Trumps is the final arbiter of the win or loss.

    I hope he is re-elected and then the recession hits HARD. Then maybe people will wake the F up in this country. Realizing that there are other ways to do things in the world with tons of examples. Maybe even put cable news down for a while and read a book. Coming to terms that it may just be a bad idea to elect a mentally slow baboon into the whitehouse because he can come up with nicknames for people and is less boring than an average politician.

    I think Trump should get credit for the economy. He cut taxes a lot for companies and kept steady or increased government spending. We are running a trillion dollar deficit. You don't think putting a trillion dollars into the economy won't boost it. I just don't think its a viable long term strategy, Running a a 2-3% deficit is OK. A 5% one seems pretty excessive.

    Well the Reps, through lack of oversight and unwillingness to create new laws to govern Wall Street, drove the US economy off the cliff in 2008. What was their reward? Obama won in 2008, but 2010 onward the Tea Party crazies are doubling down on their pre-2008 behavior. The US electorate is brain dead for allowing this.

    Credit to Repubs for their successful disinformation campaigns ... socialism is bad ... Democrats want to turn the USA into Venezuela ... etc

    People didn’t wake F up when Bush tanked the economy by following republicans mantra of tax cuts and deregulation.

    In my opinion the recession could be worse. With a person like Trump in office which would be an overweight, unhealthy 78 year old by the time he leaves office it would be potentially the biggest sh*t show since WWII. The man is unfit for office and every single person that worked with him during his administration will say so when he is out of office. All the stupid MAGA hats in the world won't help you at that point.
