The more I think about it the more bizarre it becomes. Donald Trump spent his first term claiming any attempts to hold him or his peeps accountable were illegal. His Presidential administration has had more criminal indictments and convictions by far than any other in history. To claim that all of the people (deep state bogeyman) were coming after him is loser talk. He hasn’t the courage to face the charges because he knows he’s a chiseler and a coward. This is the easiest one to argue I’ve come across yet if you consider the facts, which isn’t too prevalent on this blog.

Man, you oughtta choke on that one. Trump has fired or threatened elected officials and DOJ employees who held him accountable. If he believed in accountability and transparency, he would have told them from the get go to bring it on. The man is a human weasel.

What does that have to do with Wharton?

I always hope for the best. I hope he succeeds for the sake of our country. I just don’t see it happening if he stays on the present course. Kind of like climate change. 90%+ of professional economists say his tariff plan is bonkers, yet the faithful deny them as crazy.

An afterthought: Breitbart didn’t mention how many of those Wharton billionaires had generational wealth backing them going in and connecting them coming out. No different than Harvard. I’d bet dollars to donuts the the percentage of those Wharton billionaires who are self made is tiny. Gates, Jobs, Dell never got near Wharton. They never even got undergraduate degrees. Always Breitbart. No other points of view.

His daddy bought his entrance to Wharton. He barely passed. Daddy probably bought that too. All that crap Breitbart cited was written before globalization. The second largest economy on the world stage can starve its people to punish its economic rivals. That did not exist before the ‘80’s. China is going to stick it in Trump (and by extension us) and twist. A country that doesn’t have to care for its peoples’ rights can withstand a lot of pain.

I take that as a yes. I don’t practice dark arts.

Do you have an altar to Trump in your home? He seems infallible to you. The bond markets rattled him bad because him and his cracked economic team didn’t see that one coming. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. Spitballer.

An effective Department of Education would help steer schools towards a two tiered system putting emphasis on vocational skills training on equal footing with college skills training.

Really? Ask AIG.

Ol’ whatabout chiming in again. What about now?

Are you serious? Liberal policies did not create or abuse Credit Default Swaps. Nor did they have anything to do with bundling no doc subprime loans and securitizing them. That was Wall Street greed and Bush era banking and securities deregulations.

I knew it wasn’t American lives you were talking about.

I appreciate your perspective. My concern is that we’ve never had a president upset a healthy economy in such fashion. A self inflicted recession is unheard of. The consequences can’t be known, but odds are they won’t be good.

What lives might those be? He aggravated the last crisis so badly over a million of us died. Led the world in deaths. Trump just wants to be number one at everything, mismanaged or not.

That’s a good strategy for a 50 year old. Not everyone is 50. Doesn’t work so well for a 70 year old. We made contributions for 40 years. Now we have to take mandatory DISTRIBUTIONS. Your myopia is showing.

Biden’s tariffs were targeted. That’s how they’ve been used for decades. Trump and his bunch have no clue what they’re about to do.

Hate? That’s pretty strong brother. You a believer?

Whatabout whatabout whatabout. What about now?

What are you even talking about? If everything goes up 20% how will we buy more later? Even if manufacturing moves here because of tariffs (which it won’t) it’ll take years to plan, design and build new facilities.

He can’t do either, so what’s your point? He could act with a little dignity, and I would respect him for it. He can’t do that, either. Move on, brother, you ignore us anyway. In the timeless words of The Bard “he who laughs last laughs best”.

They’re not here any more. It rises or falls with who the president is NOW. Blame is his tool to deflect and avoid accountability.

Good.

“The threat comes from the reporter”. Kool-aide’s got you

Classic deflection. Let’s come up with a conspiracy to over the tracks.
