    Over sixty years? OMG, you must have been elderly when I was prancing, as a youth, in the fields of tulips near Camelot with 'Artie'.

    The last administration was two years ago. Don't you think it's time that a Republican President with a Republican Congress pulled us out of that tailspin?

    Just an expected reaction to the Dems gaining control of the House and promising to obstruct trade and border security policies for the next 2 years.

    The Real Economy is thriving at an accelerated rate.

    Trump definitely ruined ISIS if that's what you mean.

    The only things Obama built up were ISIS and the National Debt.

    The debt is pretty much as Obama left it, so I guess you can take solace in his legacy remaining intact.

    Funny stuff.

    Care to post about anything else beyond your sphere of knowledge?

    That's an oversimplification.

    A loosening of regulatory practices and more correction in trade imbalances is still needed to escape Obama's failed rat's nest of payola-generated favoritism to select industries.

    Following the money plays a big part in which stocks serious investors buy.

    Example.
    He recieved a very large bank loan, say $100 million, to construct a hotel, or maybe a golf course. Let's investigate who is getting the construction contract and buy some of their stock.

    Or, one of his companies is going bankrupt. Find out who he owes money to and sell their stock.

    I used to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, Investors Business Daily, and Barrons to get leads on stocks to buy and sell. They report tons of business transactions that do not make main stream news. Trump's name came up often in these papers. His deals did affect the price of many individual stocks.

    Ok, I started young.

    But, those were mushrooms, not tulips, you were picking.

    I don't recall doing that, but feel free to prove me wrong.

    In any case there's a significant difference between Anonymous Message Board Poster being a hypocrite and the President of the USA being a hypocrite.

    Boy, that would be a mistake, since that construction company isn't going to get paid more than pennies on the dollar.

    Yeah, that might work, at least in theory.

    Well, if you made money paying attention to Trump, more power to you. It seems to me he's been relatively small potatoes business-wise except for a few years in the early 80s when he was blowing daddy's money.

    We all make our own decisions. I feel this president has completely changed how the world sees us and it's not good. You can also avoid these posts rather than to try and tell those in the thread what they can and can't post. When i see posts i don't care to read i pass them by.

    That's debatable.

    The National (and Federal) debt has increased actually and will continue under Trump. There was a time when it flat lined, and the only reason it flatlined for a short time was the debt limit, which Trump had nothing to do with.

    He, like almost every other politician out there, doesn't really give two shits about the National Debt. It's a talking point to trick people into thinking they're going to do something about it.

    Oh yeah, that's gotta be it. It certainly can't have anything to do with nobody wanting to work in the White House, a turnover rate that's dazzling, a trade war with the world and especially China, an abrupt pullout of U.S. troops from Syria, harsh criticism of the Chairman of the Fed., indictments and convictions of many Trump supporters, the closing of the crooked Trump University, the closing of the crooked Trump Foundation, the closing in by Mueller on Trump and his family for their crooked dealings, his total ignorance on anything and a stubborn refusal to read any of his briefing, all the remarks from his numerous fired and quitter cabinet members who call him stupid or has an IQ of a 5th or 6th grader or the Trump government shutdown. No, couldn't be any of that.
