Are you trying to paint 6.5% growth as a bad thing?

Regardless, trade expert, do you have any more thoughts about the Trans Pacific Partnership and its effects on IP theft?


No more thoughts on it other than I'm sure Trump improve any deal we made under the previous admins of recent. #MAGA

So you're sure he will improve the deal that you didn't even know never existed.

You are seriously so, so stupid. You're the epitome of a Trump supporter.

Yea, our numbers have been lower, that's the norm these days. That doesn't mean China isn't hurting and feeling the squeeze.

But I thought Trump's economy was gong to post "record growth"? Where is the record growth?



He hasn't posted A SINGLE QUARTER of record growth. NOT A SINGLE ONE.


Also, 6.5% growth is not "feeling the squeeze", lmao

Lowest growth in nine years, their stock market is down some 30% on the year. You're fooling youreself if you think they're not feeling it. They've had numerous double digit quarters of growth, this isn't what they want.

Let Obama know, he touted it as the answer. Another NAFTA for us to be taken advantage of, this time from China that was already screwing us.

He touted it as something we should enact as a policy, yes. We never enacted it. Obama is very aware that it was never enacted because he actually knows what he's talking about, unlike you. If Trump had been a little smarter about trade and actually cared about IP theft he probably should have followed Obama's plan but sadly, betting on Trump to do something smart is not exactly the world's best bet, haha. Especially when it comes to trade.

Thank you though for exposing how completely ignorant you are on even basic ideas. 'Does this trade agreement exist' should be one of the most basic things you should know before criticizing it.

Screwing us by selling us goods at ridiculously low prices?
There was here recently about the crazy amount of stuff that Americans have now. How do you think that happened? You can walk into any big box store and the affordable abundance is almost overwhelming. It wasn't always like this, how do you think it got to be that way?
And how do you think the American consumers are going to feel after you stop China from "screwing us?"

Why are you so sure that an individual who has proven, throughout his entire life, to make nothing but horrible money-losing deals is magically going to start making good deals?

Where does this thinking come from? I am wondering if you actually read...

I've been investing in stocks since 2009 and this is by far the worst year I've seen in the market. Everything is floundering due to the trade war. Volatility is all over the place. Take a look at the Dow chart:

What a piece of shit. How does Trump trash justify this? We all know that typical Trump trash earns 80k a year and does have a 401k. How do they like losing money because their God Emperor is a retard? Do they miss those consistent Obama gains?


Maybe some of our resident Trump trash could explain to me how this is "winning". I'm waiting.
1 year is over 10%

My winning started November 9th 2016 and has just been getting better and better every day so far.

Your mileage may vary.

It is pretty weird to see people keep trying to argue Trump is a good businessman. Mike Bloomberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, those are good businessmen. They made billions from nothing. Whatever wealth Trump actually has, he would very likely have been considerably wealthier had he just let other, competent people manage his money that he inherited instead of trying to go into business himself.

The only thing Trump has ever appeared competent at is self promotion.

I'll Admit I don't know as much about the deficit ect as others here but I sure as as hell wouldn't come in here and embarrass myself all the time claiming I do.

You know slow its ok to be ignorant but as i said earlier ignorance and arrogance is a bad combination.

Yeah, but your idea of "winning" is just being able to gloat on the internet. Most people prefer winning in real life.

I am jealous! I wish I could inherit hundreds of millions from my parents, don’t you ? Probably either one of us could be more successful with it than Trump was too, haha.
There's some kind of myth that's been going around in conservatives circles that Trump is a self-made man like Reagan was. Which is ridiculous, of course, because Trump was literally born one of the richest people in America.

Because he lets many conservatives be who they are really deep down in their cores: a collection of racists and misogynists utterly unconcerned with anything but themselves.

Any lie told in service of that is permissible, maybe even desirable.

And he's been dishonest about how much help he got from his father. That story about a single $1 million loan was a bald-faced lie.
