Kellyanne's husband and Kristol warn that Trump is getting worse

The New Green Deal means economic collapse and misery for a hundred generations, FFI.
Nah, thats nonsense. But again, I dont expect it all to pass muster. I simply appreciate an aggressive effort on climate, and will vote for that over the aggressive effort AGAINST climate science, which is the alternative presented to me.

To Republicans who've been inclined to acquiesce in a Trump re-nomination in 2020: Read his tweets this morning. Think seriously about his mental condition and psychological state. Then tell me you're fine with him as president of the United States for an additional four years.

They are spot on. He is getting worse. Mental illness gets worse, not better, without aggressive treatment. Instead, trump gets what is, essentially, the opposite of effective treatment for his mental illness, as his narcissism and psychoses are fed and encouraged by everyone in his vicinity. He clearly now confabulates his psychosis with reality and memory. This mix of circumstances only has one possible outcome. And we are watching it happen in real time.
Hmmm, these rantings are clearly the products of your narcissism and psychosis.
Oh look, you played dumb. *pats head* good for you, son.
It only seems that way to you because you are suffering from narcissism and psychosis, or rather, we are suffering from your narcissism and psychosis. The very fact you believe you are competent to diagnose him shows clearly that you are delusional, and the fact that you imagine anyone would take your word for it is proof positive you are a raging narcissist.
 
It only seems that way to you because you are suffering from narcissism and
Aww,look at the poor little cultist, getting insulted because somene said someting negative about his dear leader. Go ahead son,unload on me. I can take it. Here's a kleenex and a binky...get it all out...

Two guys who would have apparently become psychiatrists if they could have gotten into medical school.


They are both Republicans, too.
And are privy to much more insider info than moronic fuckups like you.

One Republican, Kristol, and one independent that smells like a Democrat, Conway, both of which have been pushed aside by the President and are no more insiders that you or I now. Trump is a pragmatist and a bold reformer and these two were hoping for an ideological conservative, which Trump is not.

Nah, youre just saying that because you want to have sex with donald trump and it hurts your feelings when people are mean to him.

I mean, if you can just reject the reasons people give for the things they say and invent your own to replace them, then so can everyone else, right?

This should be fun...

Psychiatrists warn Trump too unstable to be president in open letter to New York Times

Now why don;t you share with us your healthcare background as you proceed to knock this article.
This is irresponsible behavior for a psychiatrist, but it is just more slander and fraud from Democrats. The fact that you guys continue to promote slanders like this is just more proof you have no affirmative agenda for America and that there is no substance left in the Democratic Party.
 
It only seems that way to you because you are suffering from narcissism and

I'm trying to help you. As I pointed out you are clearly suffering from delusions about yourself that are a product of your narcissism. Stop being so defensive and go get some help.

lol So your narcissism and psychosis were not enough and now you want to share your homosexual fantasies with us, too?
 
This is irresponsible behavior for a psychiatrist,
That would not make them wrong, though. And the argument can be made that the duty to warn trumps the goldwater rule, in an ethical framework. Not that you have the slightest idea what any of that means.

That would make sense only if they were as delusional about themselves as you are about yourself.
 
At least Trump knows what sex he is and knows how to use e-mail.
Ah yes, all the qualifications we want in a president. What a spirited defense of dear leader.

Well let's see, no new wars and a better economy.

Seems like we need to start electing idiot crazy people to achieve this kind of success.

Who knew?

Better economy? 2.2% in 2017 and 2.9% in 2018...and Trump promised 4% GDP growth.
The Strange Ups and Downs of the U.S. Economy Since 1929
And the current Atlanta Fed estimate of Q1 GDP growth is lousy - 0.4%.
GDPNow - Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta

- The DOW was down for the year in 2018 for the first time since the end of the Great Recession. Nothing to brag about there.
- Trump is currently running over $900 billion for current FY deficit...which is pathetic. And his budget is calling for over a $900 billion deficit for the next FY...in a best case scenario. Which is again pathetic.
https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/files/reports-statements/mts/mts.pdf
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/budget-fy2019.pdf Page 119
- Trump promise 'America First'...but actually increased the numbers of troops in Afghanistan.
- promised a huge infrastructure program...nope.
- promised an Obamacare replacement...nope.
- and forget bragging about the unemployment rate as Trump rightly called that - during the campaign - a 'hoax'.
Donald Trump Calls Unemployment Rate One of the "Biggest Hoaxes in Politics"
- the LARGEST goods trade deficit in HISTORY.
The U.S. Now Has the Largest Trade Deficit In the History of the Country

Soooo more US involvement overseas, an economy stuck under 3% real GDP growth, a stagnating stock market (it is lower now then it was last August), a GIANT budget deficit (an idiot can spend more then he brings in), a record BAD goods trade deficit...oh, and no wall.

Yeah...he is friggin' brilliant.

We can argue the things you typed. But he tried to get things done. He was stymied by both parties. Obamacare should have been removed and new options proposed. Infrastructure could have been done easily. These are not extreme conservative positions.

Argue what? These are all proven facts or from government sources. DOW performance - fact. GDP numbers - fact. Trade deficit - fact. More troops in Afghanistan - fact. MASSIVE budget deficits - fact. No Obamacare replacement - fact. No huge infrastructure plan - fact.
What facts are you arguing about?

And you have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER how hard he tried. No one does but him. And the guy plays a shit load of time on the golf course and it is common knowledge that he rarely reads anything that is given to him. I don't hear much effort at all. I see a fat, lazy guy who watches a shit load of tv and does far less then any POTUS in recent history.

And save the excuses - he had both houses for 2 years and promised he could get things done. He got almost nothing done.

And the economy is NOT doing great.

McR, you have several good points in your post:
1. The GDP has improved, and should stabilize around 2.2%, that's still better than BO's 1.8% (coming out of a recession, w/low interest rates?!)
2. The 2017 GDP was 2.2%. 2018 was 2.9%, and 2019 is projected at 2.2% United States GDP Growth Rate | 2019 | Data | Chart | Calendar | Forecast (with rising interest rates)

3. The DOW had a mini-crash due to the Fed raising rates too fast. That was not Trump's fault. Keep watching it...
4. The $900b budget deficit is my biggest disappointment with Trump/GOP. The top rate should have been raised, not cut
5. Obamacare was there to be removed, but McCain's ego got in the way, not Trump's fault

6. Infrastructure needs money, which we don't have, Trump wants more for Defense?! We'll see Nancy's Budget
7. The Trade Deficit is being worked on by Trump, its a work-in-progress. At least he is working to lower it compared to prior admins.
8. Its not just the unemployment rate, its the "labor participation rate", how many folks are working. Trump is doing very well, see graph below

First...you make some good points as well, IMO.
Second, I am NO FAN of Obama as POTUS. Check out these links, please:

I was DA60 (before I was banned) and you will see post after post of me knocking his Presidency...especially economically.
The numbers say that Obama is the best economic president in modern times. - Page 26
Jobs Report: U.S. Economy Added Just 142,000 Jobs In August, Unemployment Down To 6.1 - Page 3
Jobs Report: U.S. Economy Added Just 142,000 Jobs In August, Unemployment Down To 6.1

I admit the GDP is better under Trump generally then under Obama. But other then the tax cut (which I partly agreed with - the corporate tax cut yes. The wealthy income tax cut - no), he has done little to stop the cheap money sloshing around that he himself (rightly) insulted on the campaign trail.

You can argue he is trying to help trade. But one HAS to be held responsible for what he does. And so far - he has just made things MUCH worse. And he has had two years. I give NO politician the benefit of the doubt.

And I agree with you STRONGLY that the U-3 is silly and the employment-population ratio is a far better barometer on employment. But if you look at your own graph, it's still no where near what it was before the Great Recession.

Other then the tariffs - which I am 100% against - I don't think Trump is doing anything worse then Obama did on the economy.

But Trumpbots (not you) who say that it has hugely improved simply are wrong. It is just more of the same...the Fed is running the show and propping up this horrible, cheap debt, house of cards that is dangerous and began under GWB/Obama.

I DO appreciate that you appear to have a FAR clearer head then most Trump voters (I assume you voted for Trump).
