Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

Nov 8 : Time to edit the wiki. Biggest upset in American History according to Michael Isikoff.

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

This is not a study where you average out the last 200 years. Politics changed past cycles. Forbes writes president below 50 percent approval rating. (It will never get above that in today's politics) lose an average of 36 seats. And lose 4 seats in Senate. He added 2
So how far back do you feel we should go?

2. Nothing to do with his policies. Its been going up for years.
The market was on a MASSIVE tear the eight years before he took office. So using your logic his policies had nothing to do with the markets MASSIVE gain his first year?
Same thing for unemployment. His policies had nothing to do with continuing the downward trend?

At this point I can only assume your trolling. You don't understand the difference between trade which is all depending on the deals, which so far weren't implemented, and, a market going up because people have conference in the way he is handling the economy and putting it on the right tracks? Consumer conference is sky rocking, no this is not coincidence.

One of the incidents the media decided to excoriate Bush 41 was for his famous Willie Horton ad Which in fact was one of the greatest campaign commercial in political history. It clearly and forcefully highlighted the two presidential candidates’ diametrically opposed views on an issue of vital national importance. Liberals’ response was to accuse Republicans of racism because Horton was black. Bush’s opponent, Gov. Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts, had championed a self-evidently insane criminal justice program that provided prison furloughs to first-degree murderers.

Their was a massive increase in the market under BO. There was also a massive decrease in the unemployment rate under BO. I would love hear his logic on this one.  :)

Cmon, you know the difference. We are talking about breaking records. What was Obama GDP record? Really? It's all Obamas credit? After 8 years he managed that after a year of when he left office GDP is sky high.

your so funny how can you say the market is getting hammered bc of the fake China deal and you didn’t say anything when the market soared the day after the G20?

The reality is the markets first reaction was happy to see the US China want to try and get along and the second reaction was let’s just take a chill and see what happens.

Don’t play both sides of the coin (point fingers immediatly when things go wrong but fail to point out when they go right) JUST LIKE YOU WOULDNT WANT OTHERS TO DO. (This is me acknowledging that others do it.-be above that)
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Where is the trade deal? There might be one coming but as of now it is a big fat ZERO. The same thing with NK. So far disarmament has been a big fat ZERO.

I actually agree with Trump on trade. The problem is we can't compete with cheap labor. Tariffs are needed but will result in higher prices that we will pay.
