I find that articles or threads that have CAPITALIZED verbs or adjectives in the title are usually uninformed misleading bullshit not even worth reading.
Anyone know the official marketing term for that crap?
I know it made it big on facebook with all the crossfit idiots and then spread to every mommy group facebook page but isn't there a technical term for it?

We can agree that is has krept on going under Trump!
yet, my bad!! We can`t forget about the 2 Trillion dollars added to the total deficit and his campaign promise to totally do away with the deficit....


Well I guess it was good that Obama didn't add anything... :rolleyes:

Take a look at graphs. Trump's budget has us in 1 Trillion deficits RIGHT NOW! Our deficits are approaching great recession levels. Obama had deficits because economy ground to a halt reducing tax revenues and thus increasing budget deficits. Trump does not have that excuse. Don't you see anything wrong with this picture?

Nobody is arguing that Obama didn`t add anything to the deficit!!
But your man Trump campaigned on reducing the deficit to zero!!
President Donald Trump made an aggressive promise on federal finances: He would eliminate the budget deficit within eight years. Now, three years into his presidency, the deficit is 68 percent higher than when he started.

You want to try and compare Obama's Numbers to Trumps? 2010, 2011, and 2012 are from getting us out of a recession, that Obama took over from Bush. Which I would like to point out that 1.3 trillion was the highest in those 3 years. Trump took over a strong economy.. what's his excuse? I mean the highest after the cost of the recession for Obama was $680 billion in 2013... Yet, for Trump we have 2017 - $666 billion, 2018 - $779 billion, and 2019 - $1.092 trillion, and projected to be $1.101 trillion in 2020, and $1.068 trillion in 2021. AGAIN WHAT'S HIS EXCUSE????


Damn Good thing Trump didn't follow Bush!

It`s Okay!1 Obama is not who we are talking about! Trump doesn`t get a pass because of Obama! Trump flat out said - He would do away totally with the deficit!! Obama only claimed he could reduce the deficit, which he did not!
You don`t make claims that you cannot keep!! Especially to do away totally with the deficit!

The economy is on fire, 42% higher jobs added than expected! This may be one of Trump's best weeks ever. Thank you, Mr. President!
Obama started at 9.9% and dropped it to 5%, Trump's been riding that for 3 years. Of course that lying fucking maggot said in his SOTU speech he had "reversed the failed policy's of Obama" or we would not be seeing the great MAGA today. fucking lying, racist, criminal, spray-tan beautiful being. This man was fucking a two-bit Porn star 3 WEEKS after his wife had birthed his son and you worship this fucking scum.

Well, Trump's job numbers have to surge to catch up to most other presidents.

Some interesting facts:

During Trump's first 36 months in office, the US economy has gained 6.6 million jobs. But during a comparable 36-month period at the end of Obama's tenure, employers added 8.1 million jobs, or 23% more than what has been added since Trump took office.

At this point in his first and only term, Jimmy Carter had enjoyed a gain of about 10.1 million jobs. Employers added 8.5 million jobs during the first 36 months of Bill Clinton's term and 7.8 million jobs during the first 36 months of Lyndon Johnson's tenure, even though the labor force at that time was less than half the size of what it is today.

Trump's job record is not unique. A gain of more than 6.6 million jobs during a 35-month period has been common during the 80 years that the Labor Department has counted jobs. There are hundreds of overlapping 36-month periods of better growth on record.

It's hilarious to see Trumps most ardent cult members thinking Trump is somehow single handedly responsible for the economic conditions we see today. Like Trump was in there with Paul Ryan rewriting the tax code or something. Were talking about a guy who spends most of his executive time watching FOX for talking points, tweeting all morning and through out the day, doing his hair spray tanning/makeup. That's what takes up his day. He spends most of his time golfing and on vacation. Spending taxpayer money like a drunkin sailor.

Trump is just a figurehead carnival barker. An entertainer who really is out of touch with everything he needs to do. He's not in meetings showing leadership, laying down his grand vision for policy decisions. What he's good at is trolling on Twitter and keeping his base pacified with those rallies of hate and division.

We're also talking about a guy who once said all we need to do is print more money to solve the debt problem and doesn't care about his runaway spending because he will be out of office when the shit hits the fan. This is a man who has either bankrupted most of his business ventures or they just failed or they were ordered to be shut down for fraud. Real shrewd businessman and policy wonk we have here. *facepalm*

Very nice summary, lets not forget Trump, (while running) chastised Obama for "golfing way too much" while claiming he will be "way too busy" running the country for golf. The reality?, Trump has golfed MORE THAN DOUBLE than Obama did, yet another massive hypocrisy that seems to slip by Trumpers. Guess they're too busy ass-kissing to pry the lips off for a little chap stick and look around and see what a buffoon he really is.

How can you credit Obama three years later when you guys say is how Trump is screwing up the economy.

Obama did such a good job Trump couldn't screw it up! LOL

And I don't know who you are talking about...
I'll throw it back at you with 2 questions.

1. How does Trump get any credit since he claimed unemployment numbers under Obama are fake and the trends have moved in the same direction under Trump.

2. Name one segment of the economy Trump turned aroung that wasn't already heading in a positive direction?

I didn't make a claim that either of those were true.

As I stated before:

Trump was supposed to crash the economy.
He didn't.

Trump was supposed to start WW3.
He didn't.

Trumps trade war's were going to kill US and foreign trade.
It didn't.

LOL.

"Trump didn't ruin things so he's pretty good!"

Idiotic logic. Idiotic standards.

As has been stated to you directly before, Trump ballooned the debt with policies that were intended to stimulate the economy and instead all he's done is maintained the status quo. That's a BAD thing.

I never said you made an absolute claim. My question how to you take credit for something you claimed fake. Answer you can't.

I never said WW3 but multiple times Trump almost got us into a new sustained hot shooting war.

Congrats your boy just created a new welfare program because of his botched trade war with China.

All things I'm sure make you proud.

Trump is like a rooster who thinks he made the sun come up.

If you think Trump deserves any credit for the economy I'm sure you can name one sector he turned around that wasn't already trending positive.

They were partly right in that Trump not nearly as skilled as he thinks he is, and that his volatility is a problem. He managed to start a trade war that didn't really amount to much, and he can single-handedly erase months of stock market gains with a handful of words. A hot-headed egomaniac isn't really the kind of person you want near economic policy.

Which part of our ecomony crashed as a result of Trumps win?

You don't get it. It's premature to decide if he has crashed it or not. Right now, you believe the economy is strong, which in reality it isn't because Trump is using all the tools that are normally used to stimulate a bad economy to sustain what you believe is a good economy. Which in all reality is being held up my interest rate cuts, middle class credit card debt (average credit card debt has been increasing every year since Trump took office, it was on the decline the last 3 to 4 years of the previous administration), our deficit substantially increasing, and the feds injecting billions into the stock market. All of these happen during a bad economy.

They don't get it. They don't think that deeply.
