It was - and it was the contuation of several prior administrations. *Offshore the economy *Install and beef up the massive surevellence state *Control the message through state sponsored media (2012) *Destroy the justice system and the peoples' ability to have a voice in government * Deplete the military's ability to fight (outsourcing and importing ****ty steel = piss poor weapons and defense platforms) * Aid and abet our most hostile enemies (over $2B to Iran and terror networks, while allowing them to build footholds in the ME and domestically) *Flood the country with illegals - dividing the nation ... Then kick off a shooting war with the largest nuclear power on Earth with the next administration and watch the empire crumble. Almost worked.

TPS Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 20 hours ago, Koko78 said: Come now, you know that this is simply a delayed reaction of Obama's benevolent wonderful economic policies. Sure, we had to have 8 'summers of recovery', but the reforms finally took hold and are making things great, 1 year, 2 months and 9 days since he left office. Obama's policies were so fantastic, they even let the market bounce back after we have occasional days of Trump-slumps in the market. All of this cheer leading about jobs is certainly done with blinders on, as if nothing was going on previously. The fact is the total number of jobs created for each year of Obama's second term was greater than 2017, Trump's first year. Let me re-phrase this: job growth in Trump's first year was less than any year of Obama's second term. Trump's first year was simply a continuation of growth, nothing more. I'm not crediting Obama, rather, as long as the economy is allowed to expand--without the Fed putting an end to it, employment grows, and employment was growing under Trump's first year at rate less than the previous four--there were no policies changes that would impact total employment. Now, as I have predicted based on the tax cuts, I fully expect this year to be much stronger. He can certainly take credit for any impact this year, as he should also take blame for the significant expansion of the deficit which is the source of that impact. 1
Tiberius Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Trade war escalates as China slaps tariffs on 128 U.S. goods, including pork and fruit The move could force President Trump to decide whether to follow through on trade restrictions against Beijing even as the Chinese government is now threatening to harm U.S. companies that rely on Asian markets for buyers.

ALF Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 China fires back, announcing tariffs on US planes, cars and soybeans China is firing back in the escalating trade tensions with the United States, announcing plans for heavy new tariffs on dozens more US goods including aircraft, soybeans and autos. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce on Wednesday said it plans to impose a 25% tariff on $50 billion worth of US exports. China's announcement comes less than 24 hours after the Trump administration published a list of about 1,300 Chinese exports that it plans to target with tariffs. http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/04/news/economy/china-tariffs-us-goods-soybeans/index.html the stock market won't like this

Tiberius Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Raise your hand if you love the idea of making shipping of Amazon stuff more expensive!! We can spend our tax cuts on higher costs of imported goods and more expensive shipping! Trumpbots will like the idea because Trump does.
