Trump Crisis Finally Hits Stocks As Concerns Mount Over GOP Defections

But, Trump took credit and his minions applauded him for the stock market rise in 2017. If he takes and gets credit, shouldn’t he take and get blame (regardless of whether or not he had anything to do with either swing)? It’s only fair.

 

You are smart enough to separate my defense of him in the Russia witch hunt from my opinion on his policies right?

You realize those are separate subjects right?

 

That's fine. But his base support won't do that

 

Why do you think that is? Why do you think his base is like that?

What’s your opinion @RocketsLegend ?

 

He's their Karl Malone. Anything goes

 

My position is (1) the Mueller investigation is anything but a "witchhunt" and (2), my opposition to trump re: the Mueller investigation is much more important than opposing his policies. And this ignores what a horrible immoral person he is.

(1). Even calling it a "witchhunt" is ridiculous and parrots trump and his supporters. So far, the "witchhunt" has resulted in four indictments of people close to trump. And as I have already shown, Mueller has five active paths in his investigation, with very credible evidence already known and much more that will be made known when he wraps up his investigation. No president should be guilty of any one of these... the fact that there are five (and potentially five articles of impeachment) shows how much trouble trump is in.

(2) Having a president that has soiled the important institution of the presidency is so much more important than his policy positions. Elections have consequences, and policy positions are the consequences of his winning the presidency. So while I can oppose his policies, the correct recourse is voicing opposition and campaigning for preferred candidates and policies in future elections. But Mueller's investigation isn't his policies... its an investigation of crimes and activity trump and his campaign members did leading up to the election. Again, what he is being investigated for shakes the very core of our countries democratic process and foundation. Way more important than any tax policy.

The fact that trump is a corrupt and immoral person still only makes the investigation more important. Scandal after scandal, reflecting the corruption and lack of morals that is at the very core of trump and his presidency. The fact that he can defend and commend someone that abused two spouses (and at least one girlfriend) without expressing any concern for the victims is a single reflection of trumps lack of morals.

 

It's all innuendo

I believe even spoiled billionaires are innocent until proven guilty

 

US agriculture has been making some serious inroads into the Chinese market. Then the TPP fiasco happened, and now this.

It's almost like he doesn't give a **** about the people who voted for him. Shocking, I know.

 

It’s almost like he doesn’t doesn’t know what the **** he is doing.

 

Wasn't that the main reason most conservatives voted for him?

He definitely shook things up and broke the broken system. Doesn't seem people are too happy about it though.

 

"Almost"?

 

An excellent post, and as soon as I finished reading it, I thought to myself, "pgabriel will post a line or 2 in response that completely ignore the facts. It's what he does now." Yes, that's exactly what he did. The guy is a colossal waste of time, which is a pity, since most of the trump fans now (and he's a trump fan, and I'd bet money a trump voter) are pure trolls, an algorithm, or being paid to post in support of the fool sometimes occupying the White House.

I don't think pgabriel is any of those things. He just doesn't pay any attention to what the rest of us write here. Doesn't matter how well informed and factual the posts are. We've both seen that. Heck, everyone with half a brain has seen that. The guy, with all due respect, is so stubborn that he wouldn't admit being wrong if it would save his life. He doesn't care what we post. He'll repeat his one or two lines until hell freezes over. It makes no sense whatsoever. Sometimes I think a kid has taken over his account, some cousin or nephew who bought his laptop and just took over because he opened it up and ClutchFans was staring him in the face. That would make more sense than trying to wrap one's head around who or what is putting out this nonsense.

 

It’s JUST like he doesn’t doesn’t know what the **** he is doing.

Happy?

 

We?

The smart people knew he was a con man. There is no WE in his selection.

Trade wars are easy to win. Trump has got this.

 

Yup, Trade wars are good and easy to win. The Chinese tariffs are all targeting Trump base states, first wave precision strikes. Trump is please one segment of his base by pissing off another segment, good for him!
