Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

excellent summary reminder of all the instances DJT has acted like a Russian agent.

Hard to imagine what goes through the head of a trump supporter when/if she reads this. The cognitive disssonance required to maintain supporting Trump is massive.

And this leaves out his amoral personal life. And inability to make a deal. And his lying. it's just Russia. Just one segment.

I'm on record as saying that the so-called Trump Slump would not arrive until 2020, or the very end of 2019. (If it arrived at all, which was not a certainty. And who *wants* a slump, anyway?)

But I think I have to revise my "forecast." I now expect Trump's slump in the second quarter of this year...though I still hope I'm completely wrong, and there won't be one at all.

Amazing, to be able to take an economy that had numbers like this one, and reduce it to such a point in such a short time. Amazing.

It's what Republicans do. Clinton handed Bush2 a budget surplus, a surging stock market, a roaring economy, and Bush2 turned it into the worst downturn since the great depression. Then Obama gets us out of that, and now Republican Trump is going to drag us down again.

Recessions R Us should be the slogan of the Republican Party.

The causality of this relationship is not at all clear.

POTUS impact on economy is wildly overrated by most.

Small sample size.

Recessions WILL happen.

Democrats lose again.

agreed. I'm just venting. Sorta. I do think the dependability and middle of the roadness of the Dems is better for the economy than the flightiness and intense theorizing of the Rs. They have it in their minds that the market never never screws up. And that leads to economic nightmares of deregulating. Rs just want to live in theory. Dems are more in the real world. And that pays off in dependability. Businesses need stability, not the dumbazzery of Bush2 and Spanks.

Rs seem to think that the only thing that matters in the Mueller investigation is whether spanks directly colluded with Russia.

When the financial crimes, obstruction, perjury and conspiracy charges hit the trump family, maybe Rs will understand they have been supporting an organized crime family.

But probably Rs will never understand that - they like crime I guess.

Agree on all counts

We present to Trumpers, the real GOP.

MSNC is the closest there is to Fox, and they DO focus on Trump a lot...but he's the President and he is doing stuff that is worthy of the focus. MSNBC doesn't lie and distort like Fox News does. They have no equal to Pirro or Hannity or Carlson or Fox and Friends or that dumb ass dude on The Five or whatever it's called. It's just not even close.

I am very rarely in agreement with Igy and have often criticized him. That said, he has comported himself well in these last few pages. That is not something that can be said of all of his detractors.

Have a good week, Igy (and everyone else).

I DO agree with this...he HAS come back from the brink a LOT with some reasonable comments of late. That is why I have said a couple times recently now that he is SOOOOO close to being right. He's still just not quite there...BUT props to him for at least finding a much more reasonable voice than before. You are correct to point it out.

trump's approval rating is falling quickly. Lowest for many months: 41.4 or 40.7 depending on RCP or 528. Even Rasmussen is down to 43%. Americans are tired of spanks' reality show. The Bachelor is better, I hear.

R politicians' only fear is that trump will lose his hold over the deplorables - if his rating keeps falling, maybe even mcconnell will accept his role as a lawmaker and leader of a co-equal branch of gov't and get the government open.

But then again, ol'mitch is the one who would not allow the FBI to tell the American public that Russia was trying to get trump elected. So he's not exactly an American first person. He's a Republican First sort of person.

Pretty easy to sound reasonable when someone isn’t insulting you. Fully expected “Lying Gary Lite” thing. Of course I never did know who Lying Gary was. I did garner several “Trumpers” this or that. In regards to MSNBC they sound reasonable to the Dems just as Fox to Repubs. They both, however have strayed from the Walter Cronkite news unfortunately.

I'm not American but I cannot understand why Republicans tolerate his digs about Wounded Knee? Most of the people murdered at Wounded Knee were women and children.

Why don't they speak up?

Facts are facts.

Fox lies

CNBC doesn't.

the 'both sides' attitude is a total cop out.

Dude, tens of millions of Americans consider celebrating the Confederate army is patriotic.

You aren't dealing with people looking for a clean, honest look at history. On Friday of this weekTexas state workers get a day off to celebrate the army that killed hundreds of thousands of US Troops.

OK, if that makes you feel better. Little in this world can be accurately described so simply.

In your tiny world, only you, or your hero Trump, can be insulted. You fail to see how insulting to others your are by deflecting about Trump with .... but Clinton ... but Obama. So, if you want some respect drop that. And stop posting zerohenge links ... you only embarrass yourself posting links to a site that parallels Putin's propaganda news source, Russia Today.
