Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

"Bated" breath, that is.

It's only "baited" breath if you've been chewing worms or something.

As Trump contemplates his measured response to the latest Chemical Weaspons attack in Syria (27 of the 33 attacks have been determined to be carried out by Assad and his Regime with the full support of Putin and Iran in case you’re keeping track) the only question that remains is: who will Trump target with ICBMs first? My round one has Trump targeting Moscow, Ankara, Pyongyang, Tehran, Damascus, Aleppo, San Francisco and Sacramento with nukes on Thursday. Round two will probably be Los Angeles, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Mexico City, and Juarez on Friday. What say you LRC?

It’s going to be hilarious!!!!

Sure they have. They elected a racist xenophobe. Reagan or Cheney weren't as overtly racist as the chief idiot.

The Right has been courting the extreme elements for decades and then abandoning them in Congress until recently. At some point, the strategy was going to blow up in their face, and it did.

Thanks Trump, .... moran.

AAAAAH! This is where the liberals' history of calling all Republicans "racists" comes back to bite you in the butt.

Reagan was called a racist constantly by the left. It was said that "Reagan made his followers comfortable with their racism". Yeah! Remember that? Liberals have been playing the race card all my life. What's changed is that now we have all these new cards in the demonization deck: homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, etc.

And yes, the racist accusations have escalated to white supremacist and Nazi, but that's a small jump compared to all the new accusations.

Got it Econ, based on your argument, Bush gets credit for keeping the market from crashing further but he then also gets credit for the 50% selloff since that was all under his term. You do realize that most economists agree that QE pushed the market back up. QE provided a constant bid in the market, so artificial or not, it pushed valuations up. Credit Obama for that.

Actually, the Fed takes credit. The role of President and Congress being shielded from the central bank is one of the features of a stable Democracy.

What Obama tried to push through Congress was the classic Keynesian response to a shock to an economy, domestic spending. The Right wailed! and moaned! the End of the Republic Was Near because of the Irresponsible Spending of the Democrats. A very small domestic spending bill passed with Republicans who voted against the bill taking money for their district, just like those evil liberals. That's how the system works.

The only reason I bring it up is the collective amnesia of the Right in Congress. Borrow and Spend.

And Reagan was called homophobic too. Maybe not too much has changed on either side after all. Liberals are always demonizing the right with false accusations. It has reached a new frenzied level not seen in my lifetime though.

Hey, Lying Gary is back!!!

Way to go, Lying Gary! No, Reagan was not "called a racist constantly by the left." But way to go lying about that.

Hey Lying Gary, why don't you bring back "truthseakr" while you are at it.

Lying Gary.

I'm not denying the claim the Left made about Reagan. Legislatively, he punished the poor for not being born into wealth like the average Conservative. Cheney did the same kind of thing. But, that's different than Trump calling violent racists "good people" as an example.

Let's talk amnesia. I remember Obama's stimulus bill. He asked for ~$780 million and said that he needed it to guarantee that unemployment wouldn't go over 8%. He said that without it unemployment would go over 9%. He got all of the stimulus, and unemployment went over 10%.

Obama's stimulus spending proved two things:

1. Obama's administration didn't know what they were doing.

2. Kenyanesian economics don't work.

I'd say the same about the Right. The "frenzied level" is an indicator of much deeper issues. None of which can be solved on LRC.

It's interesting that elections all over the world are including far Right elements in governance. Meaning, it's hardly isolated to the U.S.

The "king of debt" has the country on the same dismal trajectory that Trump's companies have taken 6 times in the past. The only difference is that when the US fails, there isn't going to be anyone to bail us out.

Oops. ~$780 billion, not million.

A little doctor evil moment there.

Of course no President SHOULD be credited with any movement in the economy or stock market, BUT the Orange One is managing to wreak havoc on the stock market with his tweets and soon the economy with his ridiculous anti-free market trade barriers. The Fed is already trying to cool the markets and reload their fiscal powers for the next recession, but Trump is going to amplify the downward pressure. This republican genius is definitely the one who will eliminate our debt and ensure our economic prosperity. We didn't all deserve this, but now have to live with the voting decisions of millions of knuckleheads. At least we will watch Gary sink with the ship :)

1. $780 million? I think you did some Trump math and dropped a couple of zeros.

2. It seems like if Keynesian really don't work, the Right would not have needed to spend the chump change in their districts. Right? Where's the rugged individualism? Oh, that's right welfare is okay, just make it the kind I like.

3. If Keynesian Economic theory doesn't work, then how did the U.S. exit the Great Depression?

You should probably check into economic history of fiscal austerity policy before you claim Keynesian theory dead.
