Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

"Merchant of Venice" I like it!

Or perhaps: "neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet," Matthew 7:6

Perhaps you could have shared that with Trump's voter integrity committee and it would have shut them down even sooner.

Ahem, Trump disband his voter 'integrity' committee.

Thank you Trump for another horrendous market performance today

I'll admit that, after crowing about the ups, DJT has to own the downs.

But I'm honestly not too exercised about the decline (yet). The market was pumped up by irrational exuberance (to borrow a phrase) and needed to let some air out. A lot of issues were just trading at unrealistic levels.

A few, or even several, of these (relatively) small "exhalations" are much, much better for the economy than a big buildup followed by a huge drop (whether it be sudden or gradual). If the market continues to make such periodic modest nods to reality, we may avoid the much-predicted Trump Slump entirely. That wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit--I'm a member of the gig economy, and we catch slumps right away.

Increased Government spending ($1.3 Trillion Budget)

Increased payout to service the Federal debt (due to rising interest rates)

Lower Gov't revenue (lower taxes)

The writing is on the wall - Trump is going to bankrupt this country like he did his businesses.

+1

Once interest is charged there is no way to undo it.

Spinach? Well if we're going to go there...

Lower gov't revenue? Tax cut promotes higher economic growth, and thus increases tax revenue.

Just read Arthur Laffer to understand this dynamics.

Trying to expand an economy already at basically max participation rate with an unemployment under 5%?

Stil:

“ A Treasury Department study on the impact of tax bills since 1940, first released in 2006 and later updated, found that the 1981 tax cut reduced revenues by $208 billion in its first four years. (These figures are rendered in constant 2012 dollars.) The tax reform act of 1986, which was designed to be revenue neutral, reduced revenues by less than $1 billion four years after enactment.

But Reagan’s tax increases in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1987 boosted revenue by $137 billion.....”

Quick question for you - how do you look in that little black dress?

When my wife isn't home, I like to stare in the mirror while flexing my biceps & wearing a little black dress in the bedroom- that's how I do it in Ohio. My wife has been complaining lately, she keeps running out of lipstick. I admire Caitlyn Jenner's style too!

Good evening! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine PM?

Not so sure, many would say we have already seen an overdone big buildup. What do you call a 20% valuation increase when average earnings growth is around 2% for the same period? We may we’ll be witnessing the start of a hard market capitulation. I’d rather believe the Fed is cooling things down, but hardly does the market behave when it’s expected to.

He loves debt because he is an idiot. Will be the end of him.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Flagpole is dominating you with arguments and facts. You are ill-equipped to defend yourself, and that leaves you with sexist, juvenile insults which lack creativity. It is clear to all of us that Flagpole rules you.

Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine am?
