I honestly can not imagine a President that's a bigger failure.

 

 

Well, Jimmy Carter will have Trump to thank for not being on the bottom of list of modern day presidents.  At least Jimmy is a 'winner' as a person and not a loser like Trump.

So true.  It's guaranteed that Trump will never live up to what Carter has done since leaving office.

Then they get no credit for it as the Republicans complain that they have the worst recovery to the 2nd worst recession in history. Then the next Republican is cheered by the Republicans as the economy grows at the same pass as it did while the Democrat was in office.

trump really doesn't know how numbers work.  no wonder he bankrupted a casino (and now america)

 

While (again) trashing Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas," Trump reveals that he's still hopelessly confused about how fractions work.

"She then went out and got that test. 1000/24th! ... 1000/24th ... 1000/24th."

And then they cut taxes, deregulate everything and drive up the deficit and then the cycle happens again.

I'm a little confused on this.

 

Last year, we had to go to the FSA office and register how many acres we had in each crop so they knew how much to pay out.

 

I've never received anything this year to do that.

 

EDIT:

 

Ahhh...should have read farther.

The Department of Agriculture released new details Thursday about how the payments will be calculated. Farmers can begin applying for aid on Monday, and can expect to receive a payment in mid- to late-August.

This is exactly right.

 

From the CNN article above:

"I think the bottom-line takeaway is we are appreciative of this, but farmers have borne a significant price in this trade war," Brian Duncan, vice president of the Illinois Farm Bureau, told CNN. 
"No matter what the payments are here, they are not going to make up for the generational damage that's being done. Once trade routes get changed, they don't change back -- that's the real rub here," Duncan added.

So much for Trump's boasts about a booming economy.

Quote

 

President Donald Trump failed to achieve his much-ballyhooed 3% target for economic growth in 2018 after all.

Updated government figures show that gross domestic product expanded 2.5% on a fourth-quarter-over-fourth-quarter basis last year. That compares with a previous estimate of 3% and an upwardly revised 2.8% in 2017, the first year of Trump’s presidency.

Behind the 2018 markdown: Slower growth of business investment and exports, along with a greater output in the fourth quarter of 2017 that made the comparison less favorable.

Data for the second quarter of 2019, also released Friday, showed the economy expanded at a 2.1% annualized pace -- above the median projection -- following a 3.1% reading in the prior three months. GDP grew 2.3% in the second quarter from a year earlier, the slowest in two years.

The new data call into question Trump’s claim that he’s lifting growth to 3%-plus from 2% through a mixture of tax cuts, deregulation and a pro-America trade policy. GDP gains in the first two years of his presidency, though, did top the expansion’s 2.3% average.
