Trump has a fantastic healthcare-plan... and you get to see it only if you reelect him in 2020.

Trump will put strong LGBT+ protections into law... but only if you reelect him in 2020.

In other news, there has been talk for years now that a small recession would come sometime between 2020 and 2025, due to the natural dynamics of economies.
In 2018 I saw two interviews with economic experts, one far-left and one ultra-capitalist, who both agreed that Trump will make that recession come earlier and will make it worse.
Trump's 2019 trade-wars have lead to a high probability that such a recession will happen as early as 2020 (or maybe even 2019) and would be more severe than expected.
It's only a matter of time until Trump promises that only he can save the economy from the recession he has caused... if you reelect him in 2020.

(9,426 posts)that the next president is a democratic one. Who would be able to repair all the damage they and their orange asshole have caused? They got their tax cuts for the wealthy, so now they can rest for a while. Once the economy and everything else is back on track, they will choose another puppet to be a figurehead for them and their Russian partners. Didn't tRump tell us that the gop were working on a GREAT healthcare bill back a few years ago? It was going to be so much better than O care, and less costly he said. Now he is in the UK, hopefully seeing how the Brits really feel about him. They loathe his orange guts, and everything else about him including his toxic family.

(7,142 posts)Trump just gave them 1.5 trillion dollars. If his voters, like the farmers lose money because of his tariffs he just gives them billions of taxpayer dollars to tide them over. Meanwhile our debt is now over 22 trillion and our deficits are predicted to 1 trillion a year or higher.
This is the first president where I don't trust the UE, unemployment numbers. I don't even trust the GDP numbers. Fucking Trump has made me paranoid.

(4,473 posts)Then he should reveal it now. Doing so can only help his re-election chances.
Of course, he is undoubtedly lying, just like he always does.

(19,204 posts)I was floored when I saw him at Buckingham Palace with a blue tie! He even had his suit jacket buttoned. They must have had Omar the tent-maker let his suit out a few yards. He also had that crap on top of his head lacquered down so not one strand could move, even in a category 4 hurricane. I think it's just a helmet that he puts on every morning.

(19,204 posts)If Trump's lips are moving, he's lying. Of course his cult members actually believe he's kept all of the promises he made in 2016.
You can't fix stupid, and the Trump clan and it's cult are definitely STUPID!

As a candidate, Trump promised
-- to raise taxes on the rich;
-- to break up Americas largest banks by reinstated old Glass-Steagall regulations that prevented financial conglomerates from operating in multiple lines of business.
-- price controls on prescription drugs.
-- take the oil from Iraq to reduce the financial burden of US military policy.
-- release his tax returns and promised to put his wealth into a blind trust.
-- $1 trillion infrastructure package.
As president, he promised tax changes that at a minimum wouldnt benefit the rich.

(7,403 posts)A revision was made in the expected GDP growth for our current quarter and it is now a measly 1% based on a big slowdown in manufacturing due to high inventory - the most common cause for recessions. They also said that current conditions point to a downward revision in 1st quarter GDP growth. GDP for 2019 is now looking to be the weakest since 2009 (my forecast).
Keep in mind too that the announcement of tariff's came months before they went into effect allowing for a rush of activity before they go into effect. That is one of the sources for high current inventories. And the tariffs with Mexico are slated to go into effect this coming weekend - just in time to juice the slowdown.

Trump said Japan "has just announced its intent to purchase 105 brand new F35 stealth aircraft. Stealth, because, the fact is you can't see them."

(8,924 posts)The one that gutted Medicaid and didn't do anything to lower the cost of health care, but brutally slashed ACA subsidies.
The Republicans were originally going to use the money they ripped off from Medicaid to pay for their tax scam for themselves. When it failed to pass the Senate they decided to just pay for their tax scam anyway, with new deficit spending.
We need to run that Rose Garden celebration every time Trump talks about his plan.

Democrats refused to vote for his plan which would have fixed health care. Its a good thing he kept it secret so it can still work.
North Korea is no longer a threat. Lil kim is now a great guy.
Hes already the best president ever. Hell be even bester now that the no collusion fake witch hunt is over.
