    We're bombarded with info all the time. A monkey with better tools doesn't mean a monkey with better brains.

    Most people can track around 7 things in their short term memory and instantly recall them.

    That short term memory capacity is partly why whenever Trump tweets random bullshit, it cuts down resistance on his other bullshit like the Epic Conflicts of interests with his Org, His family running both business and government seats etc...

    Once he found a baseline to the outrage, he lives in it and divides with with a myriad of issues, some serious, others mostly non-sensical to the point where it takes more thought to reason behind it than to just ignore it.

    Trump Foundation graft, lawsuits, a lying White Nationalist running a key cabinet spot (stall, normalize positions, stall...by year 2 he will appear legit and "moderate"), are page 3 material.

    In it are midnight tweets against flag burning and pro-Eagle masturbation to revive the hearty stock of our national animal.

    Make America White Again!

    Trump is easily one of the stupidest people alive. His gene pool must be inundated with slackjaw DNA.

    Again, all of this is a natural regression to the mean in response to 8 years of white hatred that a black man leads them.

    Michelle Obama wins the popular vote +5 million in 2020. Book it down.

    You can go ahead and start one. It'd even be timely with his term almost over and we can look at his whole career. I look forward to the trip down memory lane.

    With all of Trump's faults & lies. If he really comes through on lower corporate taxes (25% or lower as opposed to 35%) and d-regulating businesses it's easily the best thing that happened to America. Better to have some corporate tax money than nothing at all (off shore address loop hole) and d-regulating business will rehire a bunch of people including small businesses (immigrant/people of color type of business) If you know this and still hate on Trump then you simply don't know what you're talking about.

    Deregulation by President Bush Jr only sped up globalization and domestic job loss in my opinion as those savings were largely invested overseas in more lucrative markets. I think the same phenomenon will happen with "trickle down/supply side" type of economic policies if you make most of the tax decreases for the wealthy.

    I think lowering tax rates on corporations is smart only if you understand that revenue will fall and prepare for it. I hope people understand we in the midst of demographic maelstrom in terms of entitlements for our aging population that will require a lot of money. Not to mention our military engagements and the questions surrounding what we will be doing under Trump.

    So more money from taxes will cause the value of currency to fall? I don't know much about this stuff but am willing to learn. A bachelors in business from 7 years ago.

    It would have been far shorter than Trump's despite having much more time as a candidate and in office.

    The Obama lie today is deplorable. The man is a pathological liar...its a habit for him. Of course I don't expect the righteous in name only folk like @cml750 or @MojoMan to call him out

    Trump is a pathological liar. And when called out on it, he compounds his lie by claiming it is "something he was told" and this time, even worse by blaming it on what he heard from unnamed "generals". So it offensively lies about previous presidents (including Obama) in an effort to defend/promote himself, but he then insults the very military people he is attempting to brag about.

    And of course, defending this is a continuation of the indefensible. But I suspect they will try...

    Trump doubles down on his own lie... and proceeds to be even more offensive in the process... Trump is truly a soulless coward (quoting Coach Popovich). Hopefully General Kelly speaks out against Trump, or resigns.

    I agree we need tax reform but you also have to consider that Trump's platform is more than tax reform and deregulation. Trump's platform also includes many Protectionist pieces that are oposed by the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups. So while he might deregulate some sectors of businesse new tariffs and other protectionist policies are massive regulation on the movement of goods, labor and capital.

    I must have not been reading the War Room enough lately. Is this a too obvious troll attempt, some kind of parody, or what? I don't see anything here that should have come out of a working rational brain, so please help me interpret it.

    another blatant lie by Drump

    Fact:
    Bob Corker was probably the harshest critic of O and Kerry for signing that deal w Iran
