Just a couple from this morning. Both sides are easily heard on the WSJ. You fellers need a leader BAD!!!!!
@AverageJoe1 saidWe ALL need a leader BAD. But not Trump, we need a REAL person as POTUS. Don't see why you think tariffs are a good thing. Like I said, that 83 inch TV was listed at 898 dollars yesterday, so today, what, 1200? And this helps Americans how?

@sonhouse saidEasy question. It helps Americans who, when they buy American goods, will send our economy sailing positively into the future. You know, when you get to the good meat of a good porcupine, you have to go through a few prickly needles to get to the meat.

So, it might get a little uncomfortable as we bring our country back to where we can properly manage it. Do you think it would be better to buy American even if it’s a little more expensive than you buy from japs?
@AverageJoe1 saidSo tell me HOW we are supposed to 'sail' into the future when we have to spend more money than we used to spend for TV's, FOOD, imported oil and such? All up what 25%, 50%? Take yourself for instance, how is that extra tax going to magically put us into happy land? It is not enough we already have the biggest economy on the planet by some ten TRILLION where China is clocking in at 18 tril and we are approaching THIRTY TRILLION already BEFORE this stupid tariff?

What do you think Trump will be doing to this landfall of money?
Do you seriously think he would put that money into say building factories here where we get new jobs, when some 15 MILLION new jobs came about directly because of Biden? Or do you think he will pump money into lowering our national debt so at least the interest on that debt gets lower? Where exactly is your lord Trump going to put that money?
@sonhouse saidYour question of my telling you how it will be done, is like you’re asking me how the surgeon will replace my brother‘s heart. I do not know the answer to that question, but I sure do like the surgeon. He has shown success in the past in his profession, and I am told that he has made very good investments, with a great knowledge of the business world. The surgeon is very well rounded, and someone that I put my faith in to solve our problems. I sure could not replace a heart, and I sure could not do it for 300 million people.

Since you bring this up, can you tell us a Democratic leader that could take the bull by the horns in these days and times? You cannot, but I am not concerned since you will not answer that question you will write about something else.
@AverageJoe1 saidTrump has shown SUCCESS? So 6 bankruptcies is a sign of success? He could not manage to keep a CASINO in the black. You call that GREAT business practice?

I guess you figure since that leaves money still in the hands of Trump that HAS to be a genius move, a contractor gives him a bill of half a million for some huge project and he goes, I'll pay you 350 dollars, take it or leave it, I have some GREAT lawyers SUCKER. But the building really looks nice and thank you for all your hard work but here is my 350 bucks, well OK, I'll make it FIFE hundred, how's that? I upped my pay to you by 20% so what is wrong with THAT?
@sonhouse saidHere SHouse says Trump has not been successful.

How does one respond tho That?!?
“Yes he has!! If a guy has 15 projects, and 4 of them do not work out , are bankrupt, you know the entrepreneur is a success.!”
@AverageJoe1 saidShow me the FIFTEEN successful projects and it was not FOUR fails it was SIX.

NO successful businessman can be called successful if he has a fuuking half DOZEN bankruptcies AND refuses to fully pay his contractors. You didn't say one word about that. I guess then for you not paying bills is GENIUS.

My granny just said that if a guy is worth 6.4 billion, he would be considered successful by any standard. You can do this. Say that Trump is successful, it will set you free!!
Oh god you are about to say his daddy left him money, and you are going to tell us how much it was, and you are going to suggest, I assume, that any one who receives money from a parent, dead or alive, cannot be considered successful.
You will not respond to this, you will be profane and angry, but if Jeff Bezos had inherited $500Million and used it to develop Amazon, him having now a net worth of $247B, would he be considered successful (accomplishing an aim or a purpose)??? Hello??
You can do this.. It will set you free. Just say, yeah, you are right.

What about actual projects, like new hotels, casinos, golf courses and the like, most of his golf courses are in the red.
So tell me what projects were successful because he had a half DOZEN bankruptcies.
@no1marauder saidIn order to restore respect from the world, we need to prove that we can violate any and all treaties that we have already signed.
The right wing Wall Street Journal editorial board slammed the tariffs against Mexico and Canada:
"The Journal added, "Leaving China aside, Mr. Trump’s justification for this economic assault on the neighbors makes no sense."
Trump has said he wants the countries to do more to prevent illegal drugs from pouring over the border into the United States.
But, the boa ...[text shortened]... =1da31bad32c84e90adbdc556ca6ac2ed&ei=15
So Trump is stupidly violating his own treaty. Way to go.
@AverageJoe1 saidIf trump had taken his inheritance and put all of it into an unmanaged s&p index fund, he would have more money now than he currently has.

@wildgrass saidHe is, on the other hand, floating an idea of getting rid of taxes. The US lived on tariffs when there were no taxes. So, here again, we wonder about his ideas, and DEMAND that he tell us what his plans are!! And note that he is using tariffs as a gimmick, a tool, as I have said since day one. It is threatened, to bring these countries to heel. They never pay their fair share to NATO, etc, Trump will not stand for it any longer. Query....did it ever bother Biden? Did HE do anything?

My grandfather is rolling is his grave.
But YOU fellers??? You have never voiced concern over that matter. Pitiful. So, he is out there working for you, while you throw darts and write ugly things about him. You will thank him later when you see his tools work.
He is certainly doing more right now than anyone in this country.
