Re: President Trump
Shocker! Trump says he thought being President would be a lot easier than his old gig, continues to fixate on election vote tally.

Re: President Trump
GDP numbers for first quarter under Trump came out today. Yuge slowdown. The economy is officially in the toilet, growing a mere .7%. After shrinking in Q4 2016, the trade deficit is now growing. Durable good consumption is falling. After promising a trillion dollars in infrastructure spending, the public sector is shrinking. Broken promises and failure.

US economy expanded at weakest pace in 3 years | Fox News
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/04/28/us ... arter.html
WASHINGTON – The U.S. economy turned in the weakest performance in three years in the January-March quarter as consumers sharply slowed their spending. The result fell far short of President Donald Trump's ambitious growth targets and underscores the challenges of accelerating economic expansion.
The gross domestic product, the total output of goods and services, grew by just 0.7 percent in the first quarter following a gain of 2.1 percent in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department reported Friday.
The slowdown primarily reflected slower consumer spending, which grew at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.3 percent after a growth rate of 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter. It was the poorest quarterly showing in more than seven years
Despite the anemic first-quarter performance, the U.S. economy's prospects for the rest of the year appear solid. Growth is expected to be fueled by a revival in consumer spending, supported by continued strong job growth, accelerating wage gains and record stock levels.
Weakness in the first quarter followed by a stronger expansion in the spring has become a pattern in recent years. The government's difficulty with seasonal adjustments for the first quarter has been a chronic problem and may have shaved as much as 1 percentage point off growth this year.
The sharp slowdown in consumer spending in the first quarter was attributed to a collection of temporary factors: warmer weather, which shrank spending on heating bills, a drop-off in auto sales after a strong fourth quarter and a delay in sending out tax refund checks, which also dampened spending.
Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, said he expected consumer and government spending to bounce back, leading to a much stronger second quarter.
"Still, the report will mark a rough start to the administration's high hopes of achieving 3 percent or better growth, not the kind of news it was looking for to cap its first 100 days in office," Guatieri said in a note to clients.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, one of the administration's top economic policymakers, said that the weak first quarter performance showed the need for the new policies Trump is offering.
"We need the president's tax plan, regulatory relief, trade negotiations and the unleashing of (the) American energy sector to overcome the dismal economy inherited by the Trump administration," Ross said in a statement.
He said that strong business and consumer sentiment "must be released from the regulatory and tax shackles constraining economic growth."
Averaging the two quarters, they forecast growth of around 2 percent for the first half of this year. That would be in line with the mediocre performance of the eight-year economic expansion, when growth has averaged just 2.1 percent, the poorest showing for any recovery in the post-World War II period.
Trump had repeatedly attacked the weak GDP rates during the campaign as an example of the Obama administration's failed economic policies. He said his program of tax cuts for individuals and businesses, deregulation and tougher enforcement of trade agreements would double growth to 4 percent or better.
In unveiling an outline of the administration's tax proposals on Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he believed growth above 3 percent would be achievable.
Many economists are more skeptical. They are forecasting growth of this year around 2.2 percent. That would be an improvement from last year's 1.6 percent, the weakest showing in five years, but far below Trump's goal. Many analysts believe that the impacts of Trump's economic program will not be felt until 2018 because they are not expecting Congress to approve some version of Trump's tax program until late this year.
The GDP report released Friday was the first of three estimates the government will make of first quarter growth.
The 0.7 percent increase was the worst showing since GDP contracted by 1.2 percent in the first quarter of 2014.
In addition to weaker consumer activity, the first quarter slowdown also reflected a cutback in restocking of store shelves. The slowdown in inventory rebuilding cut nearly a percentage point from growth in the first quarter. Also acting as a drag was a reduction in government spending, which fell at a 1.7 percent annual rate with both the federal government and state and local governments seeing cuts.
On the positive side, business investment rose at a 9.4 percent rate, helped by a record surge in spending in the category that tracks spending in the energy sector. This category had seen sharp cutbacks in recent quarters, reflecting reductions in exploration and drilling as energy prices declined. Housing construction was also strong, growing at a 13.7 percent rate, the fastest pace in nearly two years.
Trump noted the weak 2016 GDP performance in a tweet Wednesday and contended that "trade deficits hurt the economy very badly." For the first quarter, trade was actually a small positive after a major drag in the fourth quarter.

I wonder if it will ever make it into that thick skull of his that when he makes undeniably delusional boasts that he's "had the most successful first 100 days in history", he is pushing the country closer to catastrophe by sending every adversary around the world the clear message that we're in the hands of an administration that is monumentally clueless and as an extension, vulnerable in ways we've never had to worry about before. This is like riding in the backseat of a car doing 150 mph with a fucking toddler in the driver's seat.

Re: President Trump
Nice summary of Trump's foreign policy failures during the first 100 days:
DAVID ROTHKOPF, CEO and Editor, “Foreign Policy”
I don’t think there’s anything clear about Trump’s foreign policy. In fact, I don’t think there’s anything like a policy about Trump foreign policy.
It has been marked by reversals. First, he was against the one-China policy. Then he was for it. Yesterday morning, he was against NAFTA. Then he was for it. He was pro-Russia. Then he has gotten a little bit cooler on Russia.
But, secondly, there have been a whole series of inconsistencies in his policy. Is he concerned about Europe, the support for right-wing nationalists like Marine Le Pen or the support for Brexit suggests that he’s not clear on what is actually in the interests of Europe or the United States there.
The Syria strike, while encouraging on some levels, actually doesn’t seem to be in the context of any kind of coherent policy. And you do see ratcheting up elsewhere. We have also seen him embrace dictators and authoritarians, from Sisi in Egypt, to the Erdogan regime, where he called up Erdogan to congratulate him on his undermining of democracy.
In terms of North Korea, again, there’s been bluster. There’s also been incoherence. He hasn’t been able to locate where his carrier battle groups have been. He was instructed, as he himself said, by the Chinese leader on the nuances of all of this.
And, of course, on top of that, you have the blemish, and this very serious blemish, of appointing a national security adviser who lasted 24 days in office and may well end up in jail, appointing Steve Bannon, who supported white supremacist views,to the National Security Council, and then asking him to step down, and not having virtually any of the senior positions at the State Department or the Defense Department filled right now.

President Donald Trump, who pledged to end the alleged “war on coal” and likes to surround himself with coal miners, may have just ended U.S. coal exports from the West Coast. “In trying to land a blow on the Canadian timber industry,” says Eric de Place, policy director of Seattle, Washington’s Sightline Institute, “Trump may have accidentally knocked out the Western coal industry.”
On Monday, at the urging of the U.S. timber industry, Trump imposed tariffs of up to 24 percent on imports of Canadian softwood lumber. The issue of Canadian lumber imports has been vexed for years, but this latest hardball from Trump—especially at a time when he is threatening to pull the United States out of NAFTA—hit a nerve with Canada. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to stand up for Canada’s lumber industry, warning, “You cannot thicken this border without hurting people on both sides of it.”
Today, British Columbia Premier Christy Clark dropped a bombshell tweet, saying, “It’s time to ban thermal coal from BC ports.” In a letter to Trudeau, she wrote:
For many years, a high volume of U.S. thermal coal has been shipped through BC on its way to Asia. It’s not good for the environment, but friends and trading partners cooperate. So we haven’t pressed the issue with the federal government that regulates the port.
Clearly, the United States is taking a different approach. So, I am writing you today to ban the shipment of thermal coal from BC ports.

How many of his campaign promises does he have to utterly fail to deliver on or totally reverse stance on before they stop repeating the "He's just doing what he said he was going to do" chant like a goddamn flock of hypnotized turkeys?

Re: President Trump
I have had this very same question come to mind quite a bit. I really think there is, on some level, the idea of cutting one's nose off to spite one's face in play here. Supporters couch Trump's presidency in terms of winning and losing ("We won, you lost!"). Whether or not they know what's going on, they're willing to eschew any kind of investigation or deeper assessment of all the uproar regarding Trump. Where there's smoke, there's fire, as they say, and the smart ones look to see what's going on, but many supporters seem content to sit in a smoky room while everyone else is running out of the building in a panic. When it comes to the daily Trump administration updates in the news, you have many ignorant people who simply don't pay enough attention, but then there are those that simply *won't*. Or if they have heard things that to rational people would sound like scams and policies for the rich, they simply deny their validity. Because those voters have invested so much in Trump's victory. Without it, they see it as there's no other option.exitflagger wrote:Question: Exactly how badly does Trump have to shit the bed before his sub-mongoloid fan base stops giving him a grade of "a solid A" in job performance evaluation?

So what's it going to take for them to wise up? Something drastic, unfortunately, that affects them personally in a startling way. Their water supply goes bad. Maybe they lose healthcare and they or someone close to them gets sick or dies. Or maybe new tax cuts decimate them financially. For people to flip, the damage has to be severe and the reality of it has to be deeply felt for eyes to be opened.

Re: President Trump
Well, from what I've noticed that damage would have to involve globalism, socialism, sharia law, and/or "they're coming for our guns!" for Trump's supporters to care.TenBenny wrote:I have had this very same question come to mind quite a bit. I really think there is, on some level, the idea of cutting one's nose off to spite one's face in play here. Supporters couch Trump's presidency in terms of winning and losing ("We won, you lost!"). Whether or not they know what's going on, they're willing to eschew any kind of investigation or deeper assessment of all the uproar regarding Trump. Where there's smoke, there's fire, as they say, and the smart ones look to see what's going on, but many supporters seem content to sit in a smoky room while everyone else is running out of the building in a panic. When it comes to the daily Trump administration updates in the news, you have many ignorant people who simply don't pay enough attention, but then there are those that simply *won't*. Or if they have heard things that to rational people would sound like scams and policies for the rich, they simply deny their validity. Because those voters have invested so much in Trump's victory. Without it, they see it as there's no other option.exitflagger wrote:Question: Exactly how badly does Trump have to shit the bed before his sub-mongoloid fan base stops giving him a grade of "a solid A" in job performance evaluation? How many of his campaign promises does he have to utterly fail to deliver on or totally reverse stance on before they stop repeating the "He's just doing what he said he was going to do" chant like a goddamn flock of hypnotized turkeys?
Can we schedule a round about time when reality goes in dry on these fucking morons?
So what's it going to take for them to wise up? Something drastic, unfortunately, that affects them personally in a startling way. Their water supply goes bad. Maybe they lose healthcare and they or someone close to them gets sick or dies. Or maybe new tax cuts decimate them financially.

Would you care to make a bet, cantstop? A simple 'Yes' or 'No, I'm a fucking welching cunt' will do.cantstopthemusic wrote:When's the last time someone was "decimated financially" from tax cuts?TenBenny wrote:So what's it going to take for them to wise up?
