    Or the ineptitude in blasting Syria twice in the last year for gas attacks on his own people. Obama talked, Trump did the walk.
    Maybe the ineptitude of signalling tough trade and the raised consumer confidence and stock market gains? Ineptitude that has been greatly received.
    No one has been brought to the negotiating table! Its all talk!

    The Syria raid was a big bust. Blowing holes in burned out empty buildings is not admirable. And there was a 70% intercept rate. It was all a show of TRump trying to p[rove to his core he 'has balls'!No Congressional approval, no UN resolution, an illegal act of war risking a nuclear confrontation with Russia!

    Trump should just raid the Treasury and bribe Americans with cash rebates, and to Hell with the deficit! He's good at bribery!

    The economy had to finally improve! Something called "pent up demand"ya know?Trade war retaliation is happening as we speak. And a market collapse is just around the corner, with an over valued stock market.

    Its coming! With all the Goldman Sachs shills on T's team, they cant wait to pillage Americas assets again like in 2008. Greed knows no limits, and they know they can get away with it and get huge bailouts, and they will blame it on the Dems of course!

    They want to privatize everything, the Post Office, Mediscare and Social Insecurity, and have no qualms about pushing Granny in her wheelchair off the cliff.

    121) And the back channel assurance to the Kremlin there would be no new sanctions thing


    I've often found that people with weak arguments will throw up as much claims and text as possible in order to give their weak arguments the appearance of strength. I mean, how could an argument with 121 bullet points be wrong?

    But if we were to examine each point individually, we'd see they are just vague allegations backed up by nothing substantial. For example, point number fourteen: and the Russian hacking/Wikileaks thing.

    This "thing" is actually no thing at all. There is ZERO proof that Wikileaks works for or with the Russian government. Just as there is zero proof that the Russian government hacked the DNC's servers or John Podesta's email account. This is just an allegation, made incessantly, by Trump-haters and Russophobes.

    How about instead of a long list of vague allegations, you just produce one, simple FACT that PROVES Trump "colluded" with Russia. Can you do that?
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    Tell that to those who never got out before any previous crash and compare it to those who did. Then ask yourself how those who made a fortune did so.
