For sure. The trajectory he is on, combined with base support and GOP gov't control, is horrifying. A lot of his supports cheer how he's doing what he said w.r.t Obamacare, Muslim ban, etc., but ignore what he said about tearing it all down until there's "riots in the streets" (not to mention Bannon's agenda).

I think Jon Snow has gotten a mention or two in this thread (UK broadcaster) - good on him.

Why are you guys talking about 2020. Unless Trump is stopped by forces from within the government (republicans in congress, FBI, CIA, etc.) there will not be a legitimate election in 2020. It's been FIVE ****ING WEEKS and the media is being phased out from accurately reporting the facts and you guys are talking about three and a half years from now as if the election would be fair.

how many of you will really take up arms if things get as bad as you tought?
Most of you (as in germany) will shut up in fear if the choice is a bullet in the head or resistance.
hopefully this administration is not competent enough to achieve all his goals.

Any figures to back up Trump's claim regarding the debt or has he pulled it out of his arse?

Obama passed a almost trillion dollar stimulus package to jump start the economy out of the Great Recession he inherited, Trump's inherited a strong economy nearing full employment. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison.

It is every bit as bad as people think it is and worse than almost all of them actually think it is.

I'm just going to assume it's a lie like everything else he says or tweets.

Now is the time to remember your throwaway email and take Mr. Trump's new survey.

You know how upset he gets when these go against him.

Wouldn't surprise me if the debt tweet was technically true, the Treasury gets a large infusion during tax season.

It's true, it also dropped 30 billion during Obama's last 20 days.

Any economists care to explain what this actually means to the rest of us?

Or, he could've just pulled that number out of his ass like most of the stuff he tweets.

Edit: Haha, nevermind. He was watching Fox News and it was something that Herman Cain said. The chances that Herman Cain pulled it out of his ass are pretty high though.

Fun though it is, I'd advise against. Even dummy emails just add to the price of the list when he sells it.
