Trump didn’t destroy ISIS. Jong Un is playing him. We should be leading the Paris Accord, not absent. I don’t hate him. I don’t like him. I don’t think he’s fit for the job. Business and government are two different types of entities, and just because a businessman can turn a profit doesn’t mean he can run an incredibly complex non-profit. Hell, if not for escalating real estate prices, Trump wouldn’t even show a profit in business. He’s a cheat. Trump University. Trump Foundation. (I’m waiting for it - your defense will be to deflect from him by “what about Clinton foundation”,  but Clinton’s not President).

And crimes committed while not President are irrelevant, right?

Excuse me but when we had prior discussions about Hillary and Donald, you implied that her actions were not important since she was not elected.

by the way, escalating real estate prices are very reflective of a healthy economy.  If his wealth bothers you, we can agree he had his wealth before he came into office.  When Bill Clinton became president, they stated they had nothing.  they are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.  what endeavor generated all of that net worth?

Hard work. Clinton didn’t have a daddy to set him for life.

What hard work?  What product or company was invented and sold? 

What has Tony Robbins produced? People like to hear Bill talk and buy his books. His knowledge, experience, and ability to relate to people are his products, and he sells them quite well.

You go right ahead and believe the  vast majority of the  wealth was developed from book revenues.  The earth is flat also.

3% ain’t gonna hold.

Here are some stats for you when you talk about "3% aint gonna hold."  The Obama years produced an average yearly GDP of 1.85%.  His best year was 2014 at 2.73% which was followed in 2015 with 2.02% which was followed in 2016 with 1.84%,  Please tell me if you can identify a trend in the sequence of those numbers and then relate it to claiming that Trumps 3.1% is Obama carryover.

He didn’t have a lot to work with when he started.

Uh oh. Dow down 400 on recession fears. Fed forecasts 2.1% growth this year, no interest rate increases needed to keep economy from overheating. Told you 3.1 wouldn’t hold.

Rotflmbo, it’s March and you’re already confident the economy want hold.  Lol, totally ridiculous.  No wonder you’re a democrat. :) 

Sure you’re not a UTA&Malum :)

See the Dow today? See the Fed Reserve report? Their growth prediction? Laugh all you want. Last laugh is best. Check back in October.  

No Aggie here, my friend. Burnt Orange all the way. Hook ‘em Horns! What’s up? Aggies in charge here? Won’t let me use the Hook ‘em emoji!

Are you giddy over possible bad economic news?

That is a very paradoxical position for me. I am not giddy, and the “last laugh” remark was probably not the best term to couch it in. I don’t believe Trump’s economic policies are the answer to long term economic health, unlike most on this board. Proof is in the pudding might have been a better way to say it.

What economic policies do you feel are best for long term economic health.

You are like the guy who bets against something happening 100 times, losing 99 in a row. The 100th time, it happens and you say, “See, what did I tell ya”.

No, I play blackjack from time to time and I know when to walk away from the table. I’ve only placed one bet here - 3.1% growth won’t hold. Maybe I’ll double down.

With a 12?  Sounds maroon to me :)

He had a lot to work with as "no where to go but up"  And if he is as smart as you think and is such an economic genius, the recovery ( which was going to happen regardless of who was president) would have been much stronger

    • No doubt. It's definitely intriguing enough to watch how this all plays out...
    • We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.   
    • Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.
    • Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...
    • Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
