Maybe you should mention that to Trump. He issued an executive order to transfer money from the military, to build his wall. In addition to that, he is independently slapping on billions of dollars of tariffs, which is, in fact, a tax on the American public, without congress having a thing to do with it, Einstein.

It was only predicted to save or create 3 million jobs.Sorry, buttbreath, but the CBO analyzed it & said it did what it was supposed to do,It's what Barry started. Thank you Obama!Yet Trump's economy is booming...fewer people are on assistance...and unemployment is at historic lows...none of which Barry EVER accomplished!
Barack Obama oversaw the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression. His "stimulus" was so badly implemented that it created so few jobs his Administration had to start using "jobs created or saved" to hide how few jobs were created! The Fed had to keep interest rates at almost zero for the longest time in history because the economy under Obama was so weak for so long! THAT is what Barry "started"! Thanks for eight years of economic misery, Obama!
Quit lying about this shit & concentrate on why we needed a stimulus in the first place: Republicans.
It was "supposed" to create so few new jobs that they needed to hide behind "jobs created or saved"? Would you like me to quote what Obama Administration experts SAID the stimulus would create for jobs before the money was approved? Do you really want to embarrass Barry further?
What did you see?[/QUOTE]Why is any of this important in any way? It was already known that Donald J. Trump was the poorest man on the planet in the early 1990's, but that he came back in a huge way to win bigly. He wrote a fantastic book about it all, "The Art of the Comeback" if you're interested.
In any event, it was all a long time ago, and we can see Trump's tremendous record since.
ROFLMFAOThe NYT got hold of “transcripts” from Trump’s tax returns from the late 80’s and early 90’s.
He lost a shit ton of money. A top money loser. One of America’s biggest losers.

By the time his master-of-the-universe memoir “Trump: The Art of the Deal” hit bookstores in 1987, Donald J. Trump was already in deep financial distress, losing tens of millions of dollars on troubled business deals, according to previously unrevealed figures from his federal income tax returns.
Mr. Trump was propelled to the presidency, in part, by a self-spun narrative of business success and of setbacks triumphantly overcome. He has attributed his first run of reversals and bankruptcies to the recession that took hold in 1990. But 10 years of tax information obtained by The New York Times paints a different, and far bleaker, picture of his deal-making abilities and financial condition.
The data — printouts from Mr. Trump’s official Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts, with the figures from his federal tax form, the 1040, for the years 1985 to 1994 — represents the fullest and most detailed look to date at the president’s taxes, information he has kept from public view. Though the information does not cover the tax years at the center of an escalating battle between the Trump administration and Congress, it traces the most tumultuous chapter in a long business career — an era of fevered acquisition and spectacular collapse.
The numbers show that in 1985, Mr. Trump reported losses of $46.1 million from his core businesses — largely casinos, hotels and retail space in apartment buildings. They continued to lose money every year, totaling $1.17 billion in losses for the decade.
In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer, The Times found when it compared his results with detailed information the I.R.S. compiles on an annual sampling of high-income earners. His core business losses in 1990 and 1991 — more than $250 million each year — were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years.

And this is the guy who is our president. He could not even run a small company. He lost over 1 billion dollars, but according to some here he is this great successful businessman. He has successfully conned his way into the presidency. And now he is conning people into believing he turned around an economy that was turned around when he got there and that a legitimate investigation is a coup.

"A major implication of these tax documents, as well as the 2005 partial tax return obtained and other records, is that Trump’s tax returns would not stand up under audit.
"For example, consider the paper real estate losses Trump took on his tax returns...."
"The real estate losses Trump took far exceed the value of his buildings and the limits enacted by Congress governing how much of that value can be written off each year.
"That means he also had large other losses, which was known generally, but not the scale of those losses."

Dude, have you not shoveled enough bullshit in this thread already? Trying to top yourself, are ya?Clinton raised a 1973 federal lawsuit brought against Donald Trump and his company for alleged racial discrimination at Trump housing developments in New York.
The Justice Department sued Donald Trump, his father, Fred, and Trump Management in order to obtain a settlement in which Trump and his father would promise not to discriminate. The case eventually was settled two years later after Trump tried to countersue the Justice Department for $100 million for making false statements. Those allegations were dismissed by the court.
The fair housing commission in 1973 was a new operation, that had to show its worth, so they sued the Trump Organization.
Donald Trump realized the complaints of discrimination were bullshit and objected to the settlement, but the elder Trump decided to make the settlement anyhow. Even though Fred knew that the charges were bullshit, it was still undoubtably the smart move to make the settlement. Had they fought and won, it would have cost as much as paying, and they would have received the enmity of NYC housing bureaucrats. Better to have a good relationship with the bureaucrats than a bad one where they are always looking to cause you problems.
Since them, 45 years ago, Donald J. Trump doesn't have any similar complaints against him. Clean record. BTW, in 1973, Fred was in charge, not Donald.Fred Trump was an even more blatant racist than his bigoted son is.Donald Trump realized the complaints of discrimination were bullshit and objected to the settlement, but the elder Trump decided to make the settlement anyhow.

Decades-Old Housing Discrimination Case Plagues Donald Trump
"The lawsuit was based on evidence gathered by testers for the New York City Human Rights Division, which alleged that black people who went to Trump buildings were told there were no apartments available, while white people were offered units.
"Back then, Sheila Morse worked as one of those testers.
"When a black New Yorker was turned down for service and racial bias was suspected, Morse, who is white, would be dispatched to see if she received different treatment.
"In this case, a black man in search of an apartment in Brooklyn in 1972 saw a sign on a building: 'apartment for rent.'
"'He met with the superintendent, and the superintendent said, "I'm very sorry, but the apartment is rented — it's gone," ' Morse says. 'So the gentlemen said to him, "Well, why is the sign out? I still see a sign that says apartment for rent." And the superintendent said, "Oh, I guess I forgot to take it down.' "
"When Morse went to the building to ask about the same apartment, she says, 'They greeted me with open arms and showed me every aspect of the apartment.'"
Donald Trump wasn't the gentleman that allegedly turned down the investigator in the Human Rights Division. In the settlement that was made NO admission of wrongdoing was made by the Trump Organization. Had a settlement not been made, the Human Rights Division would have considered it a personal affront and continued to pester Trump with phony claims. Extorting money from Trump helped them justify their existence and jobs with their political bosses.
As far as the item about a Triple K march back in the day, someone with the same name as Trump's father got pinched for disorderly in the vicinity of the march. No proof that Fred was there, or that he was in favor of the Klan or just a bystander. Fred Trump died a number of years ago, so he can't be asked at this point in time.

Trump signs sweeping tax bill into law
some recent research presented here gave me some insight into Donald Trump’s motivations to pursue the presidency. So, why did he want to become the President of the United States?
First and foremost, Trump is a narcissist – perhaps on the extreme end of the scale. In fact, Trump can be best classified as a Grandiose Narcissist.Grandiose narcissism is a flamboyant, assertive, and interpersonally dominant style, characterized by an inflated sense of self, overconfidence in making decisions, and an inability to learn from mistakes.
Research shows that narcissists are over-represented in high-level leadership positions, which can be a problem in and of itself, but back to Trump.
There are 3 basic motivations that explain why people take on leadership positions:
1. Affective motivation (“I enjoy leading”). This is the motivation to lead simply because one enjoys leadership activities.
2. Calculative motivation (“What’s in it for me?”). This motivation to lead focuses on the rewards or personal gains one will achieve through leading.
3. Normative motivation (“Other people think I’d be an effective leader”).This involves pressure from others to pursue leadership positions.
Trump’s motivation to run for President may have been fueled by all three of these. He professes to enjoy being in charge, and has for some time (affective motivation). His serious candidacy was spurred on by backers who encouraged him to run (normative motivation). And, there may also be calculative motivation, as his detractors claim – Trump and his family may reap financial benefits from his presidency.
How does Trump’s grandiose narcissism fuel his desire to be president?
Research suggests that grandiose narcissists seek leadership positions for a couple of prime reasons:
1. Self-Enhancement. Narcissists seek powerful leadership positions to prove their superiority and to enhance their image.
2. Basking in the Limelight. Throughout his adult life, Trump has sought media attention and the sheer amount of “free” coverage that he got certainly helped his campaign and the election.
So, the research on narcissism and motivation to lead explains Trump’s behavior fairly well. But what might cause Trump to eventually regret attaining the presidency? Well, Howard Stern may have said it best:
"I know something about Donald Trump, he really does want to be loved," Stern said. "He does want people to really love him. That drives him a lot. I think that he has a very sensitive ego and when you're president of the United States, people are going to be very very critical."
Donald Trump has a notoriously thin skin and although his narcissism causes a feeling of superiority, it is fragile and, in the end, he may regret his motivation to this high, and very visible and vulnerable, leadership position.
