Problems look mighty small from 150 miles up.

Actually, on second thought I could see Trump dropping they keys off with Pence and taking a several month 'sabbatical' at one of his golf courses. If Congress can take time off, why can't the President? :smugdon:

Every overpaid businessman truly believes he earns his money through working harder than everyone else on earth. They really believe that if they can succeed as business executives, they are capable of doing any other job in the world because every other job has lower pay and is therefore easier.

I have a wholly unsubstantiated suspicion that Trump may not run for reelection in 2020, given how much he hates being president so far.

e: The new tax plan is hilarious. It turbofucks anyone making under about $110,000 per year (the people who the majority of those deductions helped) while giving the upper middle class a hilarious payday.

Pretty much. It also fundamentally restructures how income derived from partnerships and sole proprietorships is taxed.

You guys are missing a key thing about Donnie though, he LOVES rallies. He LOVES being in front of a crowd and spouting bullshit while they cheer.

So Donnie very, very, very much wants to run for president again. He just doesn't want to BE president.

That's why he can't take his mind off the election and has reminders of it all over the place, ready to go: https://twitter.com/NewDay/status/857927056595746816

On the lighter side, economic growth and GDP is beginning to stagnant.

Reuters posted:

The U.S. economy grew at its weakest pace in three years in the first quarter as consumer spending barely increased and businesses invested less on inventories, in a potential setback to President Donald Trump's promise to boost growth.

Gross domestic product increased at a 0.7 percent annual rate also as the government cut back on defense spending, the Commerce Department said on Friday. That was the weakest performance since the first quarter of 2014.

Help me understand this so I can be consistent in my thinking. And I'm being genuine about this because I don't understand the economy and how policy impacts that on a wide scale.

When jobs went up and Trump took credit people said it was actually a product of Obama's policies and Trump shouldn't take credit.

How is this different?

First of all, knock it off with the "I'm no big-city lawyer" schtick. Second, it's not different at all. No one said this is Trump's fault. Only he will have even more trouble claiming credit for nonexistent growth than growth that his predecessor was responsible for. e: Besides, the linked article is basically optimistic. These numbers do not point to stagnation.

The lack of growth is funny considering the wise minds of the equity market decided everything was worth 5% more purely on account of Trump being elected. No bias there.

Zuckerberg or Oprah or whoever rich rear end in a top hat thinks they can run against donald can go do it on a republican ticket. They wouldn't make any better leaders than Trump, they may just be less creepy and better spoken. Seriously like Zuckerberg can be a senator from California for all I care but running for president would be a bad move for everybody.
