Its well known here that very early on I proclaimed there was no way I could vote for either Trump or Hillary ....and I didn’t. But, there is no way Hillary would be the complete incompetent embarrassment that Trump has been. 2 1 Link to comment

Which would be an improvement. And, she'd, you know, know what she was doing, and junk. There was a time when that mattered. So how's the economy doing? 1 1 Link to comment

I did hear Forbes said there's less billionaires this year compared to last year and they own slightly less wealth. There go those damn socialists again. Working people are doing marginally better or about the same as always, despite the promises and the dogged Trump supporters who claim their income has skyrocketed thanks to tax relief. I'll ask you: Is the economy continuing to do well worth all the corruption and graft and greed and hubris and illegality of this administration? Because Hillary likely would have done similar things for the economy. I'd contend working schmoes would probably be better off. 3 Link to comment

The jobs currently being brought back are little more than a trickle, and are a continuation of the ball that Obama got rolling. I imagine Hillary would have been doing something very similar. 1 1 Link to comment

Seriously--what successes has Trump had on the jobs front that weren't already initiated or aided by progress/work laid by the Obama Administration? There's already been ample proof that any economic or job gains are merely riding the coattails of the Obama administration--but I have yet to see any proof that Trump, of his own volition and without any momentum from the Obama Administration, brought jobs back to the United States. 1 Link to comment

Jobs needed to be brought back to the US, and Trump was the man to do it. Very very few jobs have been brought back (relatively speaking) because of Trump's policies. For companies to decide to expand facilities in the US and bring manufacturing back to the US, it would take at minimum a year or two to see any real gains on a national basis. Trump was even bragging about saving jobs from leaving the US before he was even elected. In reality, the factory he visited and bragged about still shipped their jobs to Mexico. That's just one example fo the BS Trump has been spewing. Reality just doesn't work that way. You don't just wake up one morning and because you love the President, you decide to start making something in the US and a month later be doing it. Trump has been a huge fraud for most of his life and this Presidency is one big public extension of that. 1 1 Link to comment
