So Trump wins. Now the slide downhill starts.

People disagree that the earth is a sphere.

I wrote something like "the deficit doubled while Trump was president last time."

You write back "people disagree".

This is a dumb debate point because of course people disagree but these people are wrong. The truth is that Trump's profligate spending of tax dollars doubled the deficit.

Tell me when the deficit has not been raised??? They raise the debt ceiling like every year.. that is congress.

Debt is cumulative. Deficits are the spending overages every year.

In 2015 obama deficit was ~442 billion dollars

In 2019 trump deficit was 984 billion dollars

In a booming economy, no wars, low inflation and great job growth, trump doubled federal deficit spending.

No debate needed. The American people disagree with the way you think. So many of them that your candidate lost. LOST

It's all about the con, and who needs to be comforted by bedtime stories and tales of retribution.

you are really out there, I will check back with you in 4 years and see which one of your predictions comes true.

Hahahaha.

By then the curtain will have come down.

Tell me Suzie what you expect will happen. I want your view on this.

Trump normalized racism; just days after he’s elected, children in multiple states start receiving hate messages on their smart phones.

In one case, a child received a text which not only used the child's name, but directed her to report to a “plantation” in North Carolina; others received notification they had been selected to pick cotton.

It points to a well-organized and resourced group that has decided to target Americans on our home soil based on the color of people's skin.

This will get worse; welcome to Trump's Amerika. So far removed from LBJ's Great Society, or MLK's 'I have a dream' ....

Soon after Trump assumes office, and Republicans control both House and Senate, expect a constitutional amendment extending the limit on the number of terms a president can serve from two to indefinite.

Bill Clinton left office with a balanced budget.

A President has more power than a Prime Minister?

Wildgrass et al will make mtns out of molehills. It is apparently quite normal to have such increases in each administration.
Having said that, the great Musk may surprise hell out of us. He has never failed at anything, he says he can trim $2T. Let us see.
