And that's how good it is, he can go golfing and the millions of Americans who have some kind of stock investment continue to make money. Dow up another 20 points today at this time.
We are all learning from the Donald, work hard, play hard, save and you too will be rewarded.
Sometimes it really is that easy in the America Donald is creating. And I for one am damn happy to be a part of it.
Choo-Choo, still room on the train my friend. And if your not interested, just get out of the way and reap the benefits.

frightening. Cut off your nose to spite your

Could not be more in error. Everyone would LIKE the President to be an adult, not a disfunctional and vindictive 9 year old . To be working for all of us, not just his base. To be someone who was welcome around the world and in the states. Hell, Ed Gillespie wouldn't allow him to campaign in Virginia. Alabama didn't even want him in their STATE when he unhelpfully rallied for Roy Moore; he did it from Florida!
Give me a Republican I can respect, I'll be happy to do that. Real shortage among the babies and the greed heads these days.
I still believe my broker. Let's talk again end of January. I bet the Dow is down 10% or more by Jan 31 from whatever this year's high becomes.

However, I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking at best. He's certainly had plenty of time to do so. Of course, he shouldn't even be in office as he was that way during the campaign.

There's a huge difference in not respecting

Obama in 08 but soon came to hate his guts.
I had zero respect for him but I never wanted
the country to tank just to he would be a

Many (most?) Libs seem to want a belly up
country just to get even for not having the
wine soaked bridge troll in the WH instead
of Trump. That's a child's response to failure,
to wish bad on yourself just so you can get
even. It's sick.

Trump IS working for all of us. Well, not the illegal aliens. Not the people who refuse to work and want a handout. Not the people who do not put America first.
They want him to "act like an adult?" How about they learn from Tony Soprano. "Those who want respect, GIVE respect!"
90%+ media coverage has been negative! The media blamed him for enjoying the amenities his first night in the WH because a bunch of women were making fools of themselves dressed as tramps outside because they did not like him! He called out "both sides" for violence so got called a "white supremacist." Negative stories on the amount of ice cream and diet Coke he consumes.
Really? The issue is HIM?
Quote: RSThere is blame on both sides.
Trump said this and got called a white supremacist!
The blame is mostly on the left. They want Trump to "take it" and let his credibility fall, like happened with Bush. Trump is not playing their game and they cannot take it, so they throw hissy fits.

One side was doing a peaceful and permitted demonstration. The other side came to do violence. Anyone should be just as upset he said there were "very fine people" on the side that came to riot.
Your reply is an example of the point I am making. Haters are going to call him out no matter what he says or does.

The guy sleeps like 5-6 hours a day. If he is a family man 4 hours a day and works 8 hours a day he still has 6 hours left for golf. If he did that everyday 56 hours a week would be dedicated to MAGA. Have you ever tried to bug a golf course? It's a place to have secured conversations. Plus he is using his own property.
He will be in the White House more after fumigating and renovations from the last tenant is complete.

The first campaign promise that needs to really be fulfilled is to FIX Hillary's ass. She got a pass, that cannot slide. She NEEDS to be held accountable. PERIOD.
Do NOT appoint people like Steve Mnuchin. SWAMP CREATURE, complete with Skull & Bones credentials.

Even if Trump does not fulfill my every political wish, the one thing I DO love about Trump is his personality. He's got the gift of gab. Some of his comments are hilarious, AND at the same time classy. The Tweets are a big asset. And calling the Press fake is music to my ears. Finally someone who HAS THE STONES to call it like it is. The dems want to call that "childishness". That's just because they disagree. They're the babies. waaaaaaah!

That is absolutely NOT what liberals want. If anything, it's a projection of what Trump is doing, deliberately setting party against party, dismantling most cabinet departments, starting squabbles among like-minded people, defunding major programs, ruining decades of work on diplomatic relationships. Maybe he's Shiva the Destroyer, but that would require pure motives, like Face has . This is just a grab for power and riches.
What liberals want is a President who respects and honors his office, who works for the citizenry, not himself and his family, and takes all Americans into account when making decisions. This guy does NONE of that. And liberals are not going to shut up about it. Either he raises his game, or he gets driven out.
IN YOUR FACES FOOLS!
It was also priceless watching Martha whomever whine like a hungry child over useless Hillary getting trumped.
Such a special night.

Yes, now that you mention it, I do remember that. I just found some youtube video of it, it was in Iraq in 2008, the guy threw TWO shoes at him. In fact, I laughed just looking at it. Bush ducked, quick reflexes. lol
But you're right, the Press, and all the talk-show phonies would have cried the blues if it had happened to their messiah.
Gosh, it seems like yesterday that they were just electing Obama. Remember the idiots thinking he was going to make their car payments for them? Stevie Wonder and all these idiots so giddy. And I just sat there in disbelief, omg, we now have a black communist in the office. Never thought I'd see the day. And at that time I didn't even know the first lady was a dude.

Bill me for the things I use and if I truly need them, those things will prosper through utilization. Earned Income Credit returns "your money" to someone who most likely pays less than you. Prior to 1913 we didn't have an income tax. Somehow we survived. Of course we weren't teaching our kids that it is OK that Johnny is using the little girls room.
I call BS on most of your posts in this thread.
Still looking for action on a 10% drop in the DOW not occurring in January 2018. Anyone?

That's not it at all. There are proper, constitutional, functions that the government is needed for. DEFENSE being the number-one priority. The government is NOT supposed to supervise transfer payments, i.e., welfare, neither personal nor corporate. If you want a welfare system, it should be a local issue, not federal. Remember the 9th and 10th Amendments? There never should have been a Fed.Reserve, nor a 16th Amendment. Fake money, and Karl Marx tax system. Article 8 provides for a republican form of government, if your state wants to tax its brains out, go ahead. The Federal government, though, should primarily PROVIDE FOR THE DEFENSE. Period.
