  1. Yes, he included the job losses which were actual job losses. Were there multiple ways to deal with the Covid pandemic? Yes. Would some ways mean fewer job losses? Yes.
  2. So you agree that Harris is right and Trump is wrong. Because Biden has already imposed steeper tariffs than Trump proposes… on Chinese electric cars. The correct approach is to assess which industries are competitive, and protect them, identify which industries are nascent, and fund them, and identify which industries are neither. Because when you tax items we need and don’t manufacture, like neodymium magnets or cobalt, then you just increase consumer costs and you harm our own industries. But these are subtleties which Trump doesn’t seem to get. America has exited textiles, and China isn’t very competitive because many other countries make textiles. So why tax Chinese textiles 60% and Vietnamese and Bangladesh textiles only 20%? Why tax them at all if Nike is never going to make those sneakers here?
  3. Yes, a tariff makes sense IF AND WHEN an America steps up to build those $10 widgets, but not across the board on every import, including components used to build the widgets.
  4. ”The economy is so bad, you can't afford eggs and bacon“, but please buy my digital cards, my Bible, my ugly sneakers, and yes, my watch too. WTF are you for real, bro
  5. I don’t know what “close the border” actually means. Legally, our borders are closed to illegal immigrants already. Legally, Biden and Harris would have been able to stop much more illegal immigration if Congress passed the bipartisan bill which Trump blocked. Trump says his plan for the border is to be a dictator on Day One. He said so. He didn’t explain anything else; he isn’t talking about building his stupid wall anymore and I don’t like the idea of the President making up his own laws.
  6. That is why Kamala Harris proposes plans to invest in American manufacturing and industry. Trump doesn’t. Biden has already done this in the semiconductor industry with his CHIPS act. Trump’s plan is to raise massive tariffs. This does not work because it raises prices that Americans pay on nearly everything while obstructing American companies from exporting the goods they manufacture.
  7. No sir. I provided a chart of Trump’s dismal stock market performance. It’s a clear failure, like his casinos, his airline, his steak business, and on and on.
  8. I did not say that Trump should not have Secret Service protection. I also don’t think the Secret Service failed to protect him — they stopped shooters twice that we know of. I don’t honestly know enough about security to know how much it costs to protect an entire golf course from someone climbing a fence and hiding in shrubs. There are sniper rifles which claim to be effective at one mile, and thanks to the gun lobby, these weapons are easily obtained in America. (Not that anyone needs a mile of range to defend themselves or their home, but there you have it). So… yeah, it seems impossible to have 100% protection of someone who wants to be outdoors in the open at predictable locations from all threats of a one mile radius. Monday morning quarterbacking is great and all, but that’s all it is. Bottom line is that if Trump wants 100% protection, he needs to follow the recommendations of his protection detail and stop thinking he’s entitled to go everywhere he wants and get perfect protection. Cause it’s impossible.
  9. The figures are all published. Easy to find. You know they all are better for Biden than Trump, that’s why you never pull them out. Biden’s only economy failing is inflation.
  10. Clinton, Bush, and Obama all have secret service protection too. Yes, Trump needs a bigger detail because he’s campaigning, but he has to cooperate as well. I remember when that guy shot at him, Trump was too much of a jackass to duck down and stay down, so frankly, if he’s going to be a fool, it’s his own fault.
  11. Once again, nothing but Bull-fu*king-shlt out of you. “I’ve got the greatest biggerest bestest plan! But I can’t show you, it’s secret, but it’s so good!” Show us these “wonderful” stock market, unemployment, and gdp figures. They all TANKED under Trump. Just like Bush, Trump passed off a COLLAPSED ECONOMY to a Democrat successor who turned it around completely. The Dow was 20,000 under Trump and it’s over 42,000 today. And Trump racked up far larger deficits than Biden. The only economic statistic that’s bad for Biden is inflation, which is a GLOBAL phenomenon today. And by the way, the dumb motherfu*ker you’re supporting, Trump, has not explained in any way how he will reduce inflation. I can tell you that across the board 20% tariffs and a 60% across the board China tariff will vastly increase prices, FAR MORE than the inflation under Biden. Harris’ plan of targeting manufacturing in the USA is a far better way to create economic growth in the USA and without the tariffs we’ll be able to export those goods.
  12. Why should American taxpayers foot the bill for his campaign rally’s and golf excursions? I saw the motorcade when he had to go to trial in New York. It was enormous, they closed off streets, etc. If the guy wants protection he can’t keep going to enormous outdoor spaces day after day, demanding to have an infinitely expensive protection detail.
  13. How many of these criminals entered the country when Donald Trump was President, and why did Trump block efforts to pass a bipartisan bill that would fund border enforcement? If Trump cared about Americans and immigration he would not have blocked that bill.
  14. Trump isn’t selling watches, he’s laundering money. His Chinese-made watches cost more than the most expensive Rolex, and he accepts payment by Bitcoin, allowing Putin’s cronies and Saudi princes a way to funnel millions of dollars of untraceable money into Trump’s pocket.
  15. You have accusations but no evidence, which explains why Comer hasn’t gotten anywhere with his Biden investigations. However, Donald Trump is a convicted fraudster, and has been found liable for over half a billion dollars from his court-proven fraud.
  16. True. The Dow didn’t double when Trump was President, it doubled when Biden was President. The record for Federal deficit wasn’t set when Biden was President, the record was set by Trump. Illegal immigration didn’t begin to spike when Biden was President, the spike began when Trump was President. Shall we continue? The President does not set interest rates, the Federal Reserve Chairman does. The current Chairman of the Federal Reserve was appointed by Donald Trump. You fools keep pulling nonsense out of your butts because you still haven’t figured out that Donald Trump is a liar and a conman. Promising the besterest economy without making any statements of substance will not actually accomplish a thing. Trump is a confidence man; he’s a flimflam man, he’s a con, a crook; a liar. He has created barely any economic proposals because he’s in way over his head. His idea of what’s good for business is to let businessmen behave like crooks and gangsters, but that is not what’s good for America.
  17. If he cares so much about his nation, why is he so busy selling worthless stock, cryptocurrency, NFT trading cards, fake Swiss watches, bibles, and coins with his face on them? If he cares so much about his country, why did he steal classified documents, refuse to return them and then only return half of them after being ordered to by a court? If he cares so much about his country, why does he hate Taylor Swift? If he cares so much about his country, why did he only send disaster relief money to states that voted for him? Yeah, I think science is incredibly exciting. Awesome!
  18. Are you f-ing kidding? He looks like a corpse.
  19. The bloodshot eyes of this orange Joker-faced hair bleached monstrosity give it away. He looks like he’s been made up by a mortician.
  20. America’s biggest conman has launched a brand-new money-laundering scheme, enabling foreign governments and others to funnel millions of dollars of untraceable cash into Trump’s pockets. The scheme is called www.gettrumpwatches.com. Based in rural Wyoming, at an address that’s mysteriously blurred out in Google Maps, the scheme sells a cheap, allegedly Swiss watch for the staggering sum of $100,000. — payable in Bitcoin. By comparison, brand-new Rolex watches range in price from $5,500 to $75,000. Yet, when you look at the photo of a “Trump watch,” the tourbillon movement is plainly visible, and secured by blue screws, which are only found in Chinese-made Tourbillon movements, not in Swiss movements. So it’s bad enough that he’s selling a Swiss watch for a higher price than the most expensive Swiss watch — it isn’t even a Swiss watch, it’s Chinese. They probably bought some Swiss springs or pins and built the watches in China. Wherever the watches are made, Wyoming certainly isn’t the center of America’s watch industry, and the big scam is this: $100,000 bitcoin payments are untraceable. They could come from Putin, from Xi, from Saudi Arabia, from anywhere, and nobody can trace it. This would make it easy to funnel a $1 million bribe or campaign donation into Trump’s pocket without so much as a trace. Meanwhile, Republican Attorney Generals have been clamping down on Democrat donations, demanding that only donations with CVV codes can be accepted, so that minuscule gift card donations cannot be used to hide the source of campaign contributions. But $100,000 or more in completely untraceable funds is no problem? Donald Trump is a conman and a fraud, and this is yet another of his law-breaking schemes. Maybe it’s how he’ll get paid for handing over the classified stolen nuclear secrets to Moscow and Beijing.
  21. Kamala’s 82-page economic plan (which, of course, you won’t read): https://kamalaharris.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Policy_Book_Economic-Opportunity.pdf
  22. Is Biden’s son the President? No. Is Hooker-boning Tweaker Trump running for President? Yes. If you could read, then you’d go over to the Harris website and read her detailed economic plan. Something Trump doesn’t have — he has “concepts of a plan”.
  23. I love the way you clowns only describe economic performance with adjectives, as if statistics like Dow Jones, Unemployment Rate, GNP , etc are all meaningless… because none of those figures make Trump’s Presidency look particularly good, nor do they make Biden’s look bad. The stock market has hit all-time highs over 40 times this year. And during this incredible bull market, Trump stock has fallen from over $70 a share to $12 a share. THAT is how this conman runs his businesses and THAT is how he’ll run America’s economy.
  24. Here’s how Trump’s run his business:
  25. Nevertheless, Donald Trump is a conman and a fraud.
