Lies

“The markets are going to boom,” President Trump said. “The country is going to boom.” This from the man whose many companies went bankrupt.

Extremely odd

It’s becoming more clear why Russia is not on the tariff list. There are likely two possible reasons: Either President Trump is cutting a deal to further his future desire for family investments in Russia and trading Ukraine for that goal, or the even darker potential is that Vladimir Putin is holding him captive.

Hoping for failure

The far-left media wants President Trump to fail.

Stock market

Don’t jump ship just because the stock market took a dip. If it never went down, we could all be millionaires.

I don’t know

I can’t say for sure, but I’m beginning to think that having a guy that has declared bankruptcy six times in charge might not be good for the American economy.

Russia

President Trump is signaling loud and clear by putting tariffs on small islands with few people on them and, so far, almost all major countries except Russia. He likes Vladimir Putin and wants the U.S. to be more like Russia so he can be more like Putin.

Interesting

Crashing a humming economy to own the libs is certainly a choice.
