The Sound Of Music by Nancy Ohanian I always just mention it in random posts but for the last couple of months I've been saying that Trump, who fancies himself the master deal maker, knew he wasn't going to win a second term and that all his threats and bluster and carrying on are just part of a pre-negotiation strategy. No one knows better than Trump what crimes he's committed.
Trump claims he inherited a lousy economy from Obama and made it the best economy in the world. That's a double lie-- Trump inherited a very decent economy from Obama and it kept improving until Trump tried skewering it further for the rich at the expense of the working poor-- and by the time Trump made every wrong decision about confronting the pandemic, a recession was baked into the cake. Will voters understand this?
Earlier this week, the National Bureau of Economic Research. declared that the U.S. is officially in a recession-- a GDP decline in back-to-back quarters. The stock market reacted by continuing a climb unhinged from any kind of economic reality.
Die For Him Granpa by Nancy OhanianFrank Bruni's question-- Has Anyone Found Trump’s Soul? Anyone? in his Monday column seemed cheeky-- until you read it. He started by reminding his readers of how George W.
That was quite the Fox New town hall in Scranton-- Biden's brithplace-- Thursday. The very first question was about his incompetence regarding the coronavirus. Trump responded that "we've been given tremendous marks... We've gotten the highest poll numbers of anybody for this kind of a thing." An election between he and Biden would leave voters to decide which codger's dementia is worse. anyway, Trump's answer wasn't just disjointed and manipulative; it was false. The U.S.
Trump's economy is coming apart-- and it's not just the coronavirus' impact on Wall Street. Newsweek reported that since Señor Trumpanzee took office, income growth has slowed significantly compared to the growth rate under Obama.
The stock market continues to soar. My financial advisor ignores me when I wring my hands and tell her to change my asset allocation so that I have less stock. By ignoring me, she's brought me a lot more money. But I would just feel so much safer in more bonds and real estate and less sticks. Because, everyone knows this asshole is going to crash the market at some point.
Megan Henney of Fox Business reported that economies in 4 key states could held determine whether Trump wins of loses in 2020. So which states? Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Iowa, 4 battleground states that Trump won in 2016? On Fox? Are you kidding. The economies in those 4 states are tanking-- and so is Trump's favorability ratings. Those 4 Midwestern states, representing 52 electoral votes, are suffering from Trump's economic policies.
by NoahWhile Trumpanzee and his media and political sycophants have been gushing about last week's job report showing the unemployment rate going down to 3.5%, more than a little perspective and reasoning needs to be in order, at least for us sane people.As tonight's meme shows, let's get real folks.
According to the Trump Labor Depratment, here was bad economic news on Friday. 150,000 new jobs were expected. Instead "private payrolls rose just 96,000, a three-month low, after a downwardly revised 131,000 advance the prior month." Most economists blame Trump's senseless and disastrous trade wars and his tax cuts to the top 1%. But Trump blamed... the news media.
