OT Merkel and Trump

[stu4don]

From the NYTimes:

Last month, taxpayers forked over nearly $100,000 to protect Eric Trump while he was on a business trip to Uruguay to promote Trump Tower Punta del Este. And the Defense Department is looking to rent space in Trump Tower — which goes for as much as $1.5 million a year per floor — so they can bring the nuclear launch codes along when the president comes to visit his wife in New York.

Trump happily ran up a federal bill of around $3 million for a trip to Mar-a-Lago where he watched the Super Bowl and dropped in on a Red Cross ball, which presumably brought his resort a hefty fee.

Anyway, we know one guy who is doing all right during the Trump Presidency.

Has he really done that? The last report I read on it (about a week ago) stated there was no evidence so far that he was refusing the money.

"MSNBC reports there is no evidence that Trump has fulfilled his promise. With his second monthly check set to arrive any day, neither the White House, the Treasury Department, nor the Office of Personnel Management, were able to furnish any details or documentation as to where Trump’s first $33,333 monthly paycheck had gone, nor where his next paycheck would go."

I know it is Vanity Fair quoting MSNBC, so you will no doubt dismiss it, but I googled it and couldn't find reports from anywhere else that indicated Trump had returned or refused the checks. If he had actually refused the money, the Administration would likely have made a big deal about it in the press. So far though not a word, as far as I can tell.

What is a Vanity Fair and MSNBC?

By the way the last three presidents moved their kids in the middle of a school year. Can you imagine Fox News if Michele said she wasn't going to move the girls after her husband was elected?!

Trump decided to run to revitalize the brand and make money. His casinos were bankrupt, his properties were stagnate and his only money flow was from Russians purchasing space and condos at his New York properties. His steaks, water, clothing line and television ratings were in a steep decline-not to mention his "so-called" university that was being sued. The presidency was a money making scheme to him from the onset. He has been a con man half his life. Con men promise you the world (jobs, cheap healthcare, no crime, no abortions, gun protection, walls, etc.) to get you to invest or buy their product.

At one point I had a glimmer of hope that he might be the guy to shake things up. But this is just more of the same, only worse.

Fake News Again by Uneducated Libtard


This is absolutely shocking that this clown can be so stupid!

One dumb libtard president bankrupts the economy! What's worse

I don't like liberals either but this orangutan that is only good at entertaining rednecks and attacking facts created a truly unique situation for many educated conservatives.

But it seems like better news is on the way. Hopefully the FBI investigation will reveal what many have suspected for years - and we will have President Pence. That's right -hopefully by the time he speaks at our alma mater, he will be at least acting as the commander in chief and this eight years old, mentally screwed up boy trapped in an orangutan's body will be removed from the oval office... soon.

Yeah, you know when Obama took over, the economy was in a pretty awful shape and the number you quote is in hormonal terms so it is not making much sense....
Oh sorry, I keep forgetting that you guys probably didn't even finish high education. Apologies.

More Libtard Excellence from Americas worst President



Notice anything here? We’re talking about a more than six-fold increase from the number of mass shootings in the eight years Bush Jr. was president compared to the last seven years under Obama.

Contrary to your belief, you redneck fellow - I can surely afford it. Investment banks surely don't pay what they used to - but a few hundred bucks is what our analysts would easily spend on dinner at a restaurant in NYC.

Wrong again but please keep trying. Also, I am quite certain that nearly all controllers at my firm are far better educated and compensated than yourself or other uneducated folks who tend to side with Trump without not knowing much about anything.

Interesting,
You equate running up the debt to an amount that doubled all presidents before him with nothing to show for it as being the educated one, and those who believe not bankrupting the future was not the right answer as uneducated

What's your point?

Do you really believe the British government would admit that a secret agent was doing nefarious things?

Donald Trump's not the only one in American history who has had problems with CIA types look up President JFK and look at what he had to deal with

What the Democrats tried to do yesterday was to criminalize everyone who works for better relations between the US and Russia. To be for peace between the nuclear powers is to be a Russian agent and to be put on a list. The Democrats insisted that Russia was an enemy out to get us, and the Democrats had no difficulty getting Comey and Rogers, both Obama appointees, to agree.

Wooops!
Nunes Confirms There Was "Incidental Surveillance" Of Trump During Obama Administration, "Seems To Be Inappropriate"
Update: House Intel Chairman Nunes spoke to reporters when he left the briefing at The White House and had some more stunning things to say:

• *NUNES: BRIEFED PRESIDENT ON CONCERNS OVER INCIDENTAL COLLECTION
• *NUNES: `PRESIDENT NEEDS TO KNOW' THESE INTEL REPORTS EXIST
• *NUNES: SOME OF WHAT I'VE SEEN SEEMS TO BE `INAPPROPRIATE'
• *NUNES: TRUMP, OTHERS IN TRANSITION PUT INTO INTELLIGENCE REPORT
• *NUNES: QUESTION IS IF TRUMP SHOULD BE IN THESE `NORMAL' REPORTS

And the punchline: there are "multiple FISA warrants outstanding against Trump" Nunes also told reporters:

No question Obama got handed a bag of sh!t. But at what point did his fiscal policies slowed the economy? Between Obama & George W, 75% of the national debt. 10 Trillion for O & 5 by pancho boy

That is how the United States finally climbed out of The Great Depression: running up debt. National debt is not good, but it is better than a depression.

Was that debt run up on (non)entitlement spending?Or, was it building infrastructure? WWII and the military machine? Seems a dem can find a pile of $hit to be productive when they are defending a pile of $hit.

 

[Telx1]

It's not the size of the National Debt under Obama per se, it's the fact that his policies led to anemic economic growth that added to the debt annually and failed to deliver revenues to reduce the debt. Spending during a deep recession or economic crisis is not bad policy, but spending nearly a Trillion dollars on things like teachers under the guise of infrastructure that did nothing for a return on investment was shameful. The oft quoted consecutive months of pathetic job growth consisting almost entirely of part time or public sector jobs is an asinine defense of the Obama economic record. The percent of worker age in the workforce, the number underemployed, the number no longer looking for work, the number unemployed, the number on food stamps, the average GDP of less than 2%, the shrinking middle class, etc... all Point to a dismal failure. I wanted Obama to succeed, but he was largely a very weak and poor President. Liberals should be able to admit this while still spewing their hatred for Trump. Any takers?
