Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Thanks, Trump for swollen budget deficit wrote:

"The effects of the Trump tax cut are already looking like the effects of the Brownback tax cut in Kansas, the Bush tax cut and every other much-hyped tax cut of the past three decades: big talk, big promises, but no results aside from a swollen budget deficit."

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/30/opinion/republican-tax-cut-workers.html

It's a liberal opinion piece from the left wing Trump hating NY Times. If you want facts, then read Bloomberg.

"The Trump tax cuts seem to have worked better than many of us expected. Capital spending up 39 percent. Stock buybacks growing at a much slower pace."

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

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Certainly it would be good long term strategy for the Democrats to express a clear and unified post-Trump vision but for now they're the minority party and have to play the hand they've been dealt. The centerpiece of that hand is an deeply divisive president who is very unpopular with their base.

It was proven in 2016 that "not Trump" is not a key to victory. My fear is that Democrats will continue to hammer home the not Trump message instead of wooing independent voters over with actually policy and plans that will help working class and independent middle class voters.

"Not Trump" is preaching to the choir. It get's you no votes you didn't already have.

This is a legitimate concern, but I have some thoughts on that for you.

1) Russia helped Trump win in 2016.

2) There are a LOT of disgruntled Trump supporters who will not vote for him again.

3) Democrats are big time mobilized this time. I have first-hand knowledge of that in Ohio.

4) The scandals this time after he has been in office are just too much. Avenatti has more than 10 more women who have approached him with NDA agreements from Trump.

Correct. Ideally, the Congressional races are run on local politics, not Presidential opinions. Meanwhile, it seems like Republican primaries are bringing out all kinds of Roy Moore-like candidates. Not a good situation for the Republic.

I am not optimistic about the midterms.

I'm not sure about a "blue wave", but Democrats will take the House back. Senate is still unclear, and if I had to guess, I would say it stays Republican.

Definitely some Roy Moore-like candidates out there. Here in Ohio we have some loser dude dressed in camo shooting a television with his hunting rifle with the tagline, "Where I come from, we stick to our guns".

Midterms are a change from the party in power anyway. It will be a bigger change than a normal midterm election.

Well, well, well. Rudy Guiliani just joined the Trump legal team today. This man successfully prosecuted cases against the Mafia, and against corrupt corporate financiers. He was a former US Attorney for the EDNY & won many big cases. There are a lot people crapping their pants right now.

Checkmate, Mueller?

I just about died laughing.

Still funny. I'm not sure what the legal strategy is here (if there is any), but it's obviously a desperate one.

They said that the questions came from a person outside Trump's legal team, so if it were an anonymous source, they weren't being up-front about that either.

On (1), I do not think Russia really helped that much. They merely stoked a fire that was already burning. On (2), I see no evidence of that at all and Trump's approval rating is growing somehow. Are there actually disgruntled Trump supporters beyond simple anecdote? For (3), well, lol, don't get your hopes up, and for (4), the man is simply scandal proof. I don't see any of this affecting him, unless maybe it comes out that he paid for and supported an abortion, but even then I'm sure he could pull the born again Christian card.

Poor, innocent Sarah. She's just doing her job! Whatever you do, don't say her smoky eye makeup is made of lies! That would be mean and uncivil!

Rudy Giuliani Suggests There Were Other Payments Like Stormy Daniels’

You'd think such an obese clown would be less obese catting around that much.

He's not going to be celibate now. I wonder how that works as President.

From the ashes of lies. No shortage of lies so the makeup theme lives on!!

It's a liberal opinion piece from the left wing Trump hating NY Times. If you want facts, then read Bloomberg.

The author is Paul Krugman. He won a Nobel Prize in economic science. He has been a professor at MIT and Princeton. He is noted as being one of the most influential economists in the world.

But, someone from Team Trump. A fallpeson willing to sacrifice themselves for Trump. Someone like DiscoGary, Rigged, Hardloper or jamin.

1) There just is no way to know how much Russia helped. It is indisputable that they did though. We will find out that Trump and/or his campaign colluded with them.

2) Well, "a lot" is subjective. He didn't win by much, so he needs to keep all he can. You can Google all kinds of people who regret voting for Trump...even Twitter accounts for it.

3) You will see.

4) Trump is NOT scandal proof. He will not win another term. And, it is very possible that he is the one who paid for an abortion...either him or Hannity, and right now my guess is on Trump. No one would believe the Born Again Christian card if he tried that...well, SOMEONE would, but he can't save his reputation with that.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

Krugman has made several errors in predictions before:

He wrote a number of blog posts effectively saying that the Euro was doomed and that Greece would leave, with Spain and possibly Italy following suit. He was massively wrong.

Regarding the housing bust: he thought that it would involve a crisis in junk bonds and a fall of the dollar (None of these two happened)

Krugman was confidently predicting deflation starting in early 2010. Never happened.

His solution for every problem is the same, raise taxes and have the federal government borrow yet more debt- the ultimate liberal pro-left wing democrat & Hillary supporter.

You need to try again.

And along with winning that "prize", he was also able to foresee the economic crisis in 2009 and "influence" things to avert the crisis.

Oh, wait...

Sorry if my questions are redundant but I am very forgetful. Can some one please remind me about who is coming and who is done?

Oops, Kellyanne Conway's hubby.

"If any person, including a relative or friend of the candidate, gives or loans the candidate money “for the purpose of influencing any election for federal office,” the funds are not considered personal funds of the candidate even if they are given to the candidate directly. Instead, the gift or loan is considered a contribution from the donor to the campaign, subject to the per-election limit and reportable by the campaign. This is true even if the candidate uses the funds for personal living expenses while campaigning."

Now I remember. Trump is coming to jail and he will be done by cons in the showers.

1) Whatever the "Russia" accusations are helped Trump much less than the media-political-industrial complex helped Hillary. THAT is indisputable. Russian memes impacting people's decision making is a pretty weak position.

2) What you said is ridiculous. Trump is polling nearly as high as he ever has RIGHT NOW. There are always people disappointed with their candidate. Look at all the die-hard Democrats who regret voting for Obama.

3) I'll count this as another prediction from you? LOL

4) As Trump solves North Korea... and finishes off ISIS... and border crossings/arrests remain low and/or some immigration legislation gets passed... and the economy doesn't collapse...

He'll win again in 2020. And you will continue crying like a you know what.

Mueller is trying to come, but simply doesn't have what it takes.

The king clown remains Flagpole.
