@sonhouse saidnaaaaa, I dont generally look at the history of things. Things are what they are, you know. It is funny that he is successful, and I tell you that. But, instead of saying, yes, AvJoe, he is successful, I was wrong, you instead ask me 'what projects was he successful in"!!!!!!!!
I said you talked about his 15 projects that were successful and you come back with a that crypto deal that got him some billions but may be gone tomorrow.
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.
What a laugh. Ask someone else your innocuous requests.
He's successful, man. Golf Clubs? Hotels? whew. Biden was a grifter, a very dependent man. Sold himself to the devil. You should respect Trump solely for THAT clean slate.
@wildgrass saidYou must not be aware of daily Trumpisms. I love this one. Good lawyers.
In order to restore respect from the world, we need to prove that we can violate any and all treaties that we have already signed.

Treaty is violated by China, not us, you silly goose.
@wildgrass saidWhew. I wonder if times were different then. Could there have been a different set of facts, a different atmosphere? I think so.
We fought a revolutionary war over tariffs.
@AverageJoe1 saidAsshole.
If you were a good American, you, like Trump, would be a bit tired of these countries feeding off of us with their goods, and you would write "America First." What duty do we owe to the japs? And Sueann is about to give you hell for sayin 'japs', but just tell her that I approve it, since this is MY thread!!!! And they strafed my great Uncle in Hawaii.

@AverageJoe1 saidTrump's "plan" is called Project 2025.
But you see, the talking heads, like Shouse as an example, do not know what Trump's plan is. You and Wildgrass, et al, want him to tell us what Trump is doing!!!! His strategy!! You want FDR to tell us that he is going to hit Normandy on June6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish all the journalist would preface their columns with 'This is just a guess,' or, ' I am not sure, b ...[text shortened]... He has been burned enough and chewed on by you hyenas ..... he will enjoy the high road for a while.

@AverageJoe1 saidIt's easy to make money in a family of grifters if you are the president, AND lead an army of the undead voters.

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 ...[text shortened]... a purpose)??? Hello??
You can do this.. It will set you free. Just say, yeah, you are right.
@AverageJoe1 saidStop the analogies. You suck at it.
Your 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 ...[text shortened]... but I am not concerned since you will not answer that question you will write about something else.
@wildgrass saidI know you are joking, but that's not respect, it is distrust.
In order to restore respect from the world, we need to prove that we can violate any and all treaties that we have already signed.
@wildgrass saidAnd the world (certainly the US) would be better off.
If 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.
@AverageJoe1 saidThis is pretty creepy coming from a guy who is prepared to spend the rest of his pathetic life on his knees.
He 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 f ...[text shortened]... er when you see his tools work.
He is certainly doing more right now than anyone in this country.
@AverageJoe1 saidA different set of leaders who actually cared about this new country, and the people in it.
Whew. I wonder if times were different then. Could there have been a different set of facts, a different atmosphere? I think so.
@AverageJoe1 saidSo noted you are unable to rationalize his half dozen bankruptcies.

OR his lack of fully paying his contractors.
All NOTHING to you.
An indication of such a moral background means NOTHING to you, ONLY how he makes your 401 K grow or how easy it is to get cheap labor for your housing projects whatever they might be.
As long as YOU are not hurt by this 'pain' you puke out, you don't give a rats ass how the country as a whole lives. If the economy tanks because of Trumps criminal tariff system, YEP, just some pain for a few years but TRUST ME, things will be MUCH better in FOUR years after TWO years of pain.
JUST TRUST ME.
@sonhouse saidno no no, not how it makes our 401(k)s grow, it is how he makes our country grow. We must’ve lost something in the conversation here.

If Trump has a choice of a DEI average man, and of a very smart man to hire for the FAA position, which one should he hire?
@AverageJoe1 saidAnd you fuuking IGNORE the FACT JACK that the country grew at an unparalled pace under Biden, you are so hate filled you cannot see the obvious in front of you like the MILLIONS of new jobs he created, the bill of hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild chip production in the US where you are absolutely unable to see the strategic interest in that, where China WILL be attacking Taiwan and try to take over THEIR chip production so they can blackmail the US and the rest of the world when they try doubling the price of chips.
no no no, not how it makes our 401(k)s grow, it is how he makes our country grow. We must’ve lost something in the conversation here.
If Trump has a choice of a DEI average man, and of a very smart man to hire for the FAA position, which one should he hire?
That bill will forestall all of that but because it was a cursed DEMOCRAT bill it HAS to have holes in it so you can rationalize ALL of your arguments about how fuuked up our economy is in spite of the FACT it is pushing towards a THIRTY TRILLION DOLLAR economy.
That is till Trump came along, he WILL fuuk THAT one up, and I have no doubt when he gets through with it our economy will drop from its present 28 Tril to more like 25 tril which was what it was under Trump and may get even worse than that.
So mark my words, that WILL happen, and note my predictions and when it does just don't say you were not warned.
