Fox is throwing around fantasy numbers, pretending the Dear Leader is somehow credited. Which, of course, he's the Dear Leader, so he's responsible for the sun coming up as well.
Don't let facts get in the way of your fantasy!

With deregulation, tax cuts, and increased optimism, we're going to see wage growth like we haven't seen in decades.\
You guys need new material. The same tax policies have been passed twice before, neither generated any detectable increase in GDP and no detectable increase in middle class or lower wages. Explain how it will be different this time.

The fantasy is so much sweeter than legislative history!!! Facts are irrelevant now.
You guys need a new meme generator. This isn't fun any more.
Trump prefers McDonald's — because he's afraid of being poisoned
Sam Nunberg, an early aide to the Trump campaign, recalled his attempt to talk through the Constitution with the Manhattan billionaire.“I got as far as the Fourth Amendment,” Nunberg said, “before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head.”
It was, said [former deputy chief of staff Katie] Walsh, ‘like trying to figure out what a child wants.’”
Poisoned!! What a train wreck.

Plus loading the courts with non-Liberal-Activist judges.
Imagine if he gets the Infrastructure Bill through. Can’t wait to see Liberals pretend they aren’t in favor of Infrastructure spending after listening to them promote it for years.
Oh, and that whole ISIS GETTING POUNDED INTO SUBMISSION thing in the Middle East. Oh, you haven’t heard much about that? Imagine that. You’d think the US domestic news outlets would be interested in that news, no? Hmm- wonder why they’re keeping a cover on it?
And the DACA-for-the-Wall compromise is going to be great.
Liberals should spend less time trying to tear down POTUS and more time trying to keep Ginsburg and Kennedy alive/motivated. It could get real ugly, real quick. Like 7-2 ugly.

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder.
I will give credit if they get a major infrastructure bill passed.
But why didn't that happen in 2017?
It really should have happened in the first 100 days.
Any economic impact from deregulation or the tax cut will come at the whim of those that benefited from that.
But infrastructure structure spending immediately helps the forgotten man.
I guess Trump forgot them.

The Republicans' brilliant infrastructure plan will merely involve shoving money at private interests, pointing to reduced up-front financing costs to claim they're saving our children from public debt, and then skipping town when it comes to questions about where the damn funding will come from. P3s are not more efficient and they do not cost the public less. In fact, the opposite is true. The short explanation for why is that private contractors do not take on these infrastructure projects out of their deep concern for the public welfare; they do it because they expect to make a profit. That profit comes at our expense.
Dems should not support any infrastructure bill unless it is on their terms. Anyone who suggests they should compromise with this administration and hand Trump a win before the 2018 elections should be attacked with rhetorical torches and pitchforks.

The only people I know on social media (IE twitter, Instagram, and other worthless sites) are my stepdaughter and her pinhead friends. I'm an old SOB so the only one I frequent to any degree is Lets Run, as I was once a runner (go figure). I do know some that are on Facebook but not many. My suspicion is that the percent on these stupid sites are most probably people under 40, those without jobs, or people sharing recipes. I will do some research and see what I find, in any event. I also think that the "basket of deplorables" that got Trump elected get their social media information from the news thats reported not the actual platform itself. I don't see a coal miner, steel worker or even an MD or Lawyer getting their information from these sites or being swayed by them. Sure, any country messing around in another country's election is wrong, however they all do it. We did it many times. But to think that Trump actually colluded with Putin to throw the election his way, and Putin bought it is a stretch at best. These no evidence, nor will any be presented. Had their been, this would be wrapped up by now. The best they will do is get a few to admit they lied to the FBI about things that we're illegal to begin with, or for financial dealings outside the scope of the investigation itself. Drag a net through ANY campaign or Administration, and thats what you'll find. Collusion with Russia? I don't think so.
Read this again and try to understand its meaning:
3) Did social media get Trump elected? By itself, no. Of course it had a hand in it though. But, even if it didn't, and even if it was determined that what Russia did with social media had the opposite desired effect, that STILL would not absolve them and any possible conspirators of guilt. If someone tries to hire a hitman to kill a spouse, they are still guilty of a crime even if it is foiled. Conspiring with a foreign country, especially with an enemy foreign country to throw an election a certain way undermines our democracy. it is not right and should not stand. Country over Party, brother.
Regarding the rest of what you said, just wishful thinking, brother, and part of it you just have wrong. Trump didn't contact Putin to throw the election his way so that Putin had to buy it...PUTIN is the one with the strings, brother. He has incriminating evidence on Trump, and wanted Trump to win for two main reasons: 1) He had a great personal dislike of Hillary Clinton; 2) he knew Trump was a rube that he could influence because he has so much dirt on him.
I believe you will get it some day. Keep trying.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
3). READ this again and try to read it slow Flagpole. You said that the Russian Ads on Facebook had an effect on people and changed their minds. You now compare a hitman to an election. That's comparing Apples to Dirt.
Sir, you are a mental midget. Please tell me you aren't married? If so, she may be a hefty woman, but she could do a lot better than you as you've surely brainwashed her by now.

And then inflation increases dramatically leading to a recession...
As usual with trickle down economics, the blue collar worker will be screwed. That will guarantee no 2nd term for Trump, assuming he lasts that long.
Trickle down economic for sure does not work, but all indications are that we will continue to see a strong economy through the 2020 election; recession not on the horizon despite an unnecessary tax cut. Normally that is pretty good news for the incumbent, but there is just too much baggage for Trump for 2020. The Democrats need to pick someone who is free of scandal, and if they do and there is no cheating like this last time, the Democrats will win.

But where will that growth be allocated, evenly among Americans or concentrated at the top?
Trump's base will not benefit from the corporate tax cut and the resulting rising stock market.

Yep, the Democrats cheated and at least Flagpole is old enough to admit it. If they don't pull their shenanigans again, it'll be even a bigger victory for the GOP.
Flagpole - do you have no life but to spend all this time here debating other LOSERS who have nothing better to do. FLAGPOLE - YOU ARE A MAJOR LOSER WHO GUARANTEED HILLARY WOULD WIN AND ARE NOW GUARANTEEING TRUMP WILL BE TAKEN DOWN. You are probably the biggest LOSER HERE - and that included Jamine - which is saying a lot.

So, you call me stupid?
Why don't we break down your post, and I will let the jury decide who the stupid one is:
You said - "You're stupidity is truly in it's own class."
What that means - You are stupidity is truly in it is own class.
You said - "Regardless, I'm glad you're pissed off and angry, it makes my day every time I check in to see the nutjob post his liberal dribble.
What is wrong there - You have a comma splice, "nut job" is two words, and (and this is classic) you used the word "dribble" when you meant "drivel".
Dude, if you are going to call someone stupid, don't make the above mistakes. The really funny one is that you believe "dribble" is used in that way.
Do you like apples?

I have never said Russian ads on Facebook changed the minds of voters. You now have the burden of proof. Regarding the rest of your post, you clearly don't understand analogies.
