Trump-$1.2 Billion In Core Business Losses

It's what Barry started. Thank you Obama!

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!
Sorry, buttbreath, but the CBO analyzed it & said it did what it was supposed to do,

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?
It was only predicted to save or create 3 million jobs.

Bullshit AGAIN! They didn't start talking about "saving" jobs until they didn't create them! THEN they started using "jobs created or saved" as their go to stat because they didn't want to admit that they'd mishandled the stimulus so badly!
The stimulus was done to lowerr the peak unemployment rate between 1/2 & 1 1/2% and shorted the time span of the recession.

The CBO said it did that.

So STFU.

Why did the need for a stimulus even exist?
 
Ah, Dave? The Fed has raised rates six times in the two years that Trump has been in office. That's four more times than they raised them from the time Obama was elected until Trump was elected!

7 times.

So its back to "normal" ?

Why hasn't the fed raised it recently? What reason did they give?

The fed bscked off because they suspect a slow down in the making.

You assducks claim we have the best economy ever so why is the fed holding back on interest rates?
Well?

So its back to "normal" ?

The sub 0.25% of Obama's first 7 years wasn't the "new normal"?
 
Collusion can be unethical, immoral, and wrong, absent a signed or agreed arrangement. When Trump and his cronies engaged in that activity, they were dishonest, liars, and surrendered the public's trust. They are not fit to be leaders, nor were they ever. They are nothing but frauds using the office for their own enrichment.

And Unicorns can heal the wounds of magic fairy princesses.

But fantasy is irrelevant.

The two year witch hunt spawned by your obscene conspiracy theory found NO EVIDENCE of collusion or conspiracy.

It amazes me that you fucks have chosen to just blatantly lie. You don't like what the report said, so you just lie.

It would be no different that someone saying the State of Hawaii confirmed that Barack Mugabe was born in Kenya, just stating the absolute opposite of the facts and reports.
 
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.
What did you see?


I see record low unemployment and record high markets due to the success of Trumponomics.

And if Trump were to lose next year's election, that would be the end of that.[/QUOTE]

Obama had record high markets too. I must of missed your posts saying how great he was.

When you borrow 1.5 trillion & pump it in the economy, things look pretty good until the debt becomes due.

If the economy is so great, why are we increasing deficits? Why is the fed still afraid to raise rates?

When you slash corporate tax rares well off companies & wealthy people, they have all this money to spend. They look to the market & it drivers up stock costs.

You go ahead & think people trading pieces of paper is the key to our economy.[/QUOTE]

Dude simply lost a ton of money. Good businessmen make money.

Good businessmen come back from down times. Trump lost a ton of money...then he made a ton of money. Why you think that is "damning" mystifies me! Anyone who knows Trump's history knows that there was a real rough patch in the 80's and early 90's. It is what it is.

Trump has never made "a ton of money". None of Trump's business has ever been a success. All of his golf resorts are losing money Trump makes money except the East Coast courses where he spends his weekends. Trump makes money off his bankruptcies, his TV show, and laundering money for Russians. The rest of his businesses go broke.

Donald Trump is a conman.

You're rather amusing. If none of Trump's businesses had ever been a success...then his "brand" would not be worth millions to others. It is because he had a knack for promotion. He made his properties valuable because he understood what people desired and gave it to them. Have some of his businesses been flops? Oh, yeah...HUGE flops! But Trump has never been afraid of failing....most successful people aren't!

He hasn't suffered one bit from failing. The people he conned did.

During the Atlantic City casino boom in the 1980s, Philadelphia cabinet-builder Edward Friel Jr. landed a $400,000 contract to build the bases for slot machines, registration desks, bars and other cabinets at Harrah's at Trump Plaza.

The family cabinetry business, founded in the 1940s by Edward’s father, finished its work in 1984 and submitted its final bill to the general contractor for the Trump Organization, the resort’s builder.

Edward’s son, Paul, who was the firm’s accountant, still remembers the amount of that bill more than 30 years later: $83,600. The reason: the money never came. “That began the demise of the Edward J. Friel Company… which has been around since my grandfather,” he said.

Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will "protect your job." But a USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades — and a large number of those involve ordinary Americans, like the Friels, who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them.

Got a link?

Like the free press I refuse to reveal my sources because they asked me to. Now lets look at his son in law. What kind of guy is this?

It’s now 18 months later, and it seems certain that Kushner is among the most corrupt and seditious figures ever to work in the White House. The son-in-law and top adviser to the president, the de facto U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia and would-be Middle East peacemaker, is no patriot. To the contrary, Kushner has shown nothing but contempt for the United States: violating its laws, lying to its law enforcement officials, and (possibly) selling its state policy for his own personal enrichment.

Despite criminal activity breathtaking in both scope and audacity, Kushner tends to receive preferential treatment from the media, like he’s royalty or a popular celebrity and not one of the most dangerous criminals in American history.

But you claim how great the economy is so why is the fed being so cautious?
 
/——/ That doesn’t prove your point, try again Cupcake.

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.

Boy was he wrong. I guess we know now that Democrats don't rig elections. If we did we would have rigged 2016 and we certainly would have won 2000.



The Libs did TRY to rig 2016. Holding the Access Hollywood tape until the last possible moment when it was seen as too late for Trump to recover was a dirty trick designed to fix the election results.


Republicans invented the October Surprise. They've tried to employ it every election dating back to when they first made a deal with Iran to hold those poor American hostages until after the elections. Used them for politics. Then later the Iran Contra scandal. Reagan and Ollie North. RayGun gave the Iranians weapons. He armed our enemy in exchange for them helping him gain power. Carter would have won if not for that.

And how about Comey's announcement a week before the elections. I'm glad Trump threw that scumbag under the bus. Fuck Comey.

Right. GHW Bush flew in an SR-71 to talk to the Iranians. DURR!

Carter would have won if not for that.

Reagan won 44 states and 489 electoral votes.
He got 8.5 million more votes than the 2nd worst President in history.
And that was with an independent Republican 3rd party candidate getting 5.7 million votes.

Yes, Obama's weakest recovery since WWII needed 7 years of sub 0.25% rates.

The CBO is full of shit and you know it! The unemployment rate went UP after the stimulus. Claiming the money spent reduced a "peak unemployment rate" or "shortened the time span of the recession" is totally unprovable...just as the statistic "jobs created or saved" is totally unprovable! Anyone who believes any of those numbers is a naïve fool! They were numbers created by politicians to cover their asses!

No, we mean Democrat oversight of a criminal in the WH. Which is their job.

Fucking liar.

{ The investigation did not establish any agreement among Campaign officials
or between such officials and Russia-linked individuals to interfere with or obstruct a lawful
function of a government agency during the campaign or transition period. And, as discussed in
Volume 1, Section V.A, supra, the investigation did not identify evidence that any Campaign
official or associate knowingly and intentionally participated in the conspiracy to defraud that the
Office charged, namely, the active-measures conspiracy described in Volume 1, Section II, supra.
Accordingly, the Office did not charge any Campaign associate or other US. person with
conspiracy to defraud the United States based on the Russia-related contacts described in Section
IV above.}
Who's saying anything about proving conspiracy? Collusion with Russia was proven and so was obstruction. Impeach this criminal bastard now.

Fucking liar.

{But collusion is not a specific offense or
theory of liability found in the US. Code; nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law. To the
contrary, even as defined in legal dictionaries, collusion is largely synonymous with conspiracy as
that crime is set forth in the general federal conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. 371. See Black ?3 Law
Dictionary 321. (10th ed. 2014) (collusion is agreement to defraud another or to do or obtain
something forbidden by law?); 1 Alexander Burrill, A Law Dictionary and Glossary 31 (1871)
(?An agreement between two or more persons to defraud another by the forms of law, or to employ
such forms as means of accomplishing some unlawful object?);}
Collusion can be unethical, immoral, and wrong, absent a signed or agreed arrangement. When Trump and his cronies engaged in that activity, they were dishonest, liars, and surrendered the public's trust. They are not fit to be leaders, nor were they ever. They are nothing but frauds using the office for their own enrichment.
Funny is for cowards. Man up.


Fucking liar.

I have posted dozens of citation from the Mueller Report that state specifically that no collusion or conspiracy took place - you Stalinists have simply lied.

Let's turn your fuckwad technique back on you, EXACTLY what you shit piles are doing.

Here is PROOF that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

iu


SEE, he was BORN IN KENYA.

You fucking conspiracy retard.

IF fact has no meaning, as it clearly does not to you Communist piles of shit, IF the results of the Mueller Report are irrelevant and you filthy lying fucks are just going to lie in direct opposition to the published facts. then reason is not a valid means of dealing with you evil and treasonous pieces of shit.

You're vermin and dangerous.

The other day Republicans were asking who the worst President was of all time and Carter wasn't even on the list. Bush was. And of course they put Obama on the list but out of the 10 people they listed Carter wasn't one of them.

Makes me think he wasn't that bad. The Iran hostage deal happened at the worst time.

https://www.usnews.com/news/special...s/slideshows/the-10-worst-presidents?slide=12

Bush is on this list and Carter isn't. So shove that worst president ever shit up your ass. You own that until someone is actually worse than Bush. That means they'll have to lie us into 2 wars and cause the greatest recession since the Great Depression. Bush actually did these things. He took a surplus and turned it into a deficit. No shit. It's true. Look it up.

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.

Boy was he wrong. I guess we know now that Democrats don't rig elections. If we did we would have rigged 2016 and we certainly would have won 2000.



The Libs did TRY to rig 2016. Holding the Access Hollywood tape until the last possible moment when it was seen as too late for Trump to recover was a dirty trick designed to fix the election results.


Republicans invented the October Surprise. They've tried to employ it every election dating back to when they first made a deal with Iran to hold those poor American hostages until after the elections. Used them for politics. Then later the Iran Contra scandal. Reagan and Ollie North. RayGun gave the Iranians weapons. He armed our enemy in exchange for them helping him gain power. Carter would have won if not for that.

And how about Comey's announcement a week before the elections. I'm glad Trump threw that scumbag under the bus. Fuck Comey.



That's of course a load of shit. President Reagan was investigated for years for the Iranian tale sewn out of whole cloth. Years of bullshit investigations which yielded bupkis.

Comey of course is a Deep State Hillary Clinton operative who actually publicly EXONERATED the broad a week before the election, even though 10's of thousands of emails containing national security secrets she was entrusted with were found on a convicted Paedophile's computer. And the whole supposed "investigation" took only a few days. The conniption that the left had when Trump fired the bum Comey shows his allegiance.
 
Good businessmen come back from down times. Trump lost a ton of money...then he made a ton of money. Why you think that is "damning" mystifies me! Anyone who knows Trump's history knows that there was a real rough patch in the 80's and early 90's. It is what it is.

Trump has never made "a ton of money". None of Trump's business has ever been a success. All of his golf resorts are losing money Trump makes money except the East Coast courses where he spends his weekends. Trump makes money off his bankruptcies, his TV show, and laundering money for Russians. The rest of his businesses go broke.

Donald Trump is a conman.

You're rather amusing. If none of Trump's businesses had ever been a success...then his "brand" would not be worth millions to others. It is because he had a knack for promotion. He made his properties valuable because he understood what people desired and gave it to them. Have some of his businesses been flops? Oh, yeah...HUGE flops! But Trump has never been afraid of failing....most successful people aren't!

He hasn't suffered one bit from failing. The people he conned did.

During the Atlantic City casino boom in the 1980s, Philadelphia cabinet-builder Edward Friel Jr. landed a $400,000 contract to build the bases for slot machines, registration desks, bars and other cabinets at Harrah's at Trump Plaza.

The family cabinetry business, founded in the 1940s by Edward’s father, finished its work in 1984 and submitted its final bill to the general contractor for the Trump Organization, the resort’s builder.

Edward’s son, Paul, who was the firm’s accountant, still remembers the amount of that bill more than 30 years later: $83,600. The reason: the money never came. “That began the demise of the Edward J. Friel Company… which has been around since my grandfather,” he said.

Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will "protect your job." But a USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades — and a large number of those involve ordinary Americans, like the Friels, who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them.

Got a link?

Like the free press I refuse to reveal my sources because they asked me to. Now lets look at his son in law. What kind of guy is this?

It’s now 18 months later, and it seems certain that Kushner is among the most corrupt and seditious figures ever to work in the White House. The son-in-law and top adviser to the president, the de facto U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia and would-be Middle East peacemaker, is no patriot. To the contrary, Kushner has shown nothing but contempt for the United States: violating its laws, lying to its law enforcement officials, and (possibly) selling its state policy for his own personal enrichment.

Despite criminal activity breathtaking in both scope and audacity, Kushner tends to receive preferential treatment from the media, like he’s royalty or a popular celebrity and not one of the most dangerous criminals in American history.

Weaponizing Data to Contaminate the Election

Meeting Illicitly With Russian Officials/Surrogates

Meeting With the President of a Sanctioned Bank

Lying on His SF-86 Security Clearance Form

Colluding With Tabloids to Attack Trump Critics

Lobbying for Qatari Blockade

Providing the Saudi Crown Prince With Classified Intelligence

Using Personal Email to Conduct Government Business







Did you just claim that someone in the Trump Administration gets "preferential treatment" from the media? Really? I mean REALLY? LOL

Right. GHW Bush flew in an SR-71 to talk to the Iranians. DURR!

Carter would have won if not for that.

Reagan won 44 states and 489 electoral votes.
He got 8.5 million more votes than the 2nd worst President in history.
And that was with an independent Republican 3rd party candidate getting 5.7 million votes.

Bush was head of the CIA yes. Why do you think Reagan awarded him with the VP spot?

Bush was head of the CIA yes.

And that's why they let him borrow an SR-71?

I don't know what a SR-71 has to do with the deal Republicans made with the Iranians to hold those hostages until after the election. Then make Ronny look tough by giving them back to him because he's another tv celebrity you idiots fell for.


No deal was made between Iran and President Reagan. That was just bullshit, you know. Carter didn't want to admit defeat either, no more that Clinton. So he invented this story. The D's never admit they lost. BTW, Carter did endorse Trump during the campaign of 2016.

The other day Republicans were asking who the worst President was of all time and Carter wasn't even on the list. Bush was. And of course they put Obama on the list but out of the 10 people they listed Carter wasn't one of them.

Makes me think he wasn't that bad. The Iran hostage deal happened at the worst time.

https://www.usnews.com/news/special...s/slideshows/the-10-worst-presidents?slide=12

Bush is on this list and Carter isn't. So shove that worst president ever shit up your ass. You own that until someone is actually worse than Bush. That means they'll have to lie us into 2 wars and cause the greatest recession since the Great Depression. Bush actually did these things. He took a surplus and turned it into a deficit. No shit. It's true. Look it up.


Makes me think he wasn't that bad.

Reagan got more EV votes than any non-incumbent President.
Yeah, 49 EV meant Carter wasn't bad.

The Iran hostage deal happened at the worst time.

Like it happened right before the election? Maybe in October?

The assclown who came up with the October Surprise fantasy said Bush flew an SR-71 to Paris to make the deal.
