If your second statement is correct, then please explain how you came to the conclusion in your first statement?

Also, a handout is a handout, so who cares if there are more old people in states that get more federal dollars? Clearly, taxes have not been high enough or social security and medicare would be adequately funded and not on the brink of collapse. The old people getting those benefits should not get them (or get major reductions of benefits IMMEDIATELY) because they--throughout their voting lives continued to vote for people who refused to do the right thing decades ago (i.e. RAISE taxes AND simultaneously slash spending). Because they chose through voting to under-fund these programs they are owed NOTHING, they did not adequately pay into these benefits and, thus, these are HANDOUTS.

I know, I know. To a Trumpette, facts are always nonsense. FACT: There have been exactly 2 consecutive quarters of GDP growth exceeding 3% under Trump. 3.1% and 3.2%. FACT: There were 2 consecutive quarters of GDP growth exceeding 3% under Obama. 4.6% and 5.2%. Sorry if facts offend you. - - - As to the original post to which I was replying, the claim was "Trump has already achieved a 3% growth rate..Something Obama never had in 8 years of his failed administration." The US GDP HAS grown by 3% for exactly 2 quarters under Trump. This is the ONLY legitimate claim that can be made at this time. So . . . posting stupidity about annual numbers when there are no annual numbers for Trump is well beyond any normal levels of stupidity and clearly qualifies you as a certifiable moron. Good effort! Keep up the good work!

Oh, you mean the 3.1% and 3.2% real GDP growth rates of Q2, Q3, 2017?

Yeah, that's pretty good.

Certainly nothing like this was ever achieved during the Obummer years. I think that the best Obummer ever achieved for two consecutive quarters was 4.6% and 5.2% in Q2, Q3, 2014. Clearly an abject failure and part of the failed Obummer administration that cannot compare to Trump, right?

Right?

Seriously, dude - do you EVER say anything that isn't a lie?

Obama NEVER achieved an ANNUALIZED 3% GDP. Stop bringing up monthly or quarterly numbers. Those are the facts.

The 2017 growth rate has not been determined yet.

You are looking at a quarterly number.

We hit a number of quarters over 3 under Obama.

We may equal the 2.9 annual number of 2014.

Yes, growing the economy dues help solve the deficit.

But the economy has to grow bottom up.

Growing just the top doesn't help most Americans.

Obama NEVER achieved an ANNUALIZED 3% GDP. Stop bringing up monthly or quarterly numbers. Those are the facts.

Trump NEVER achieved an ANNUALIZED 3% GDP. Stop bringing up monthly or quarterly numbers. Those are the facts.

That's not what I was saying.

I don't believe that Trump is technically an atheist. But he has no personal relationship with God, and is therefore godless. His godlessness has led to his immorality.

Whether or not an avowed atheist can live a moral life is a different question entirely.

I recognize that your point was to knock Trump. But you would show a great deal more integrity if you simply admitted your VERY poor choice of words.

Atheists have no personal relationship with God. Therefore atheists are godless. Their godlessness should therefore lead to immorality according to your logic.

My words are quite carefully chosen, right down to the lower-case 'g' in godless. Atheists don't believe in God, but they are not necessarily godless.

Trump professes to believe in God, but this belief clearly means nothing to him. Trump shows no reverence for God and even says that he does not need to ask God for forgiveness.

Trump never recognizes any authority, including the almighty. In my opinion, this is the root of his persistent immorality. Since even God can't judge him, he doesn't learn from his moral failures.

PIO! and LL are correct. The only fair comparison is using quarters as there isn’t a full year of data for Trump yet. And when the 2017 year is available, it’s likely to be less than 3%.

But here is one thing that Trump is surpassing Obama on:

Ahh yes and you know this... because you've sat at his bedside seeing if he reads the bible and/or prays? you follow him around during the day? You've been to church with him? You live inside his head and heart and know his thoughts and feelings? moron

Of course, I could be wrong and deep inside Trump is really a very reverent, religious person. Does anyone here believe that?

I don't need to sit at his bedside to know if he reads the Bible. I've never heard Trump quote scripture extemporaneously. And Trump famously referred to Paul's second epistle to the Corinthian church as "Two Corinthians". Anyone with even a passing knowledge of the New Testament knows it is pronounced "Second Corinthians".

And you don't have to follow him around to know what's inside his head. Trump just tweets it out for the world to see. Sadly, what we see is his utter godlessness.

godless

adjective

1. having or acknowledging no god or deity; atheistic.

2. wicked; evil; sinful.

Clearly Trump qualifies under the 2nd definition, as well.

(sigh) So, you lack all integrity. Your God would not approve.

Worse yet, Obama sat in a church where Rev Jeremiah Wright yelled " goddamn America",

The Left recognizes that it can't compete in the marketplace of ideas. So instead of contesting different ideas, thoughts and opinions, they ban them. If these ideas were truly as ridiculous as the Left would have us believe, the Left would be smart to let them exist. Why? Because then the ideas would prove unpopular and die of their own accord. Instead the Left recognizes that nationalist ideas are winning ideas (which is why Hillary and co. needed Google, Facebook, Twitter, MSM and Academia on their side and still lost). The Left has become too smug and detached to ever appeal to middle-of-america citizens. Which is why the Left absolutely needs immigrant voters and votes. Given the current anti-white, anti-blue collar rhetoric of liberal elites, the Left has put itself between a very big rock and a hard place.

I don't see them getting out. With the economy booming, and national security concerns a weak point for liberals, it would be asinine to expect any type of 'blue wave' in 2020. The Left has cucked itself beyond comprehension

Yes, he fits both definitions. Though not technically an atheist, Trump is atheistic. He neither "has" nor "acknowledges" God as his Lord. His only god is his self. Such a man becomes wicked, evil, and sinful.

Our president, the godless Donald Trump.

GDP is much more insightful than RGDP when examining growth.....Nice try Obummer apologist...

From 1925 to 1965 the annual immigration averaged 200,000 annually...A trickle....

It was called the "Great Pause"....

So basically, Gary was right.

We should start calling him Teflon Trump. (Ok, admittedly not very original)

This guy has at least one controversy every single week that would bring down any other POTUS.
