President Trump’s 2020 campaign pitch to the American people is simple: Do you enjoy the low unemployment rate and ‘booming’ (even if rate cuts and other artificial stimulus have helped prop it up) economy Trump has created? Then don’t vote for his Democratic rival next November.
It’s a message we’ve heard from Trump many times before, including during the runup to the midterms, where Trump warned that stocks would crash if Democrats took back the House (reminder: They did). Democrats are bad for the market. And it’s a topic that journalists have been looking into in recent weeks.
Would an Elizabeth Warren presidency crash the economy? Well, she’s already preparing to lay the blame at the feet of the ‘business cycle’ – whatever that is.
Trump started by reminding voters that Republicans are still popular, especially with their base, which is thrilled with the Trump agenda.
95% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you! Just won two Congressional Seats in North Carolina, & a Governors runoff in Louisiana, which Republicans should now win! Because of Impeachment Fraud, we will easily take back the House, add in the Senate, & again win Pres!

Then Trump warned that the “record” economy that he built (a “record” economy that needs lower interest rates and “Not QE 4”) would be ruined if he’s not reelected in 2020. The “crash” would be as bad as 1929, Trump said, if any of these “clowns” become president.
Our record Economy would CRASH, just like in 1929, if any of those clowns became President!

He then pivoted, complaining that Republicans “have been totally deprived of their rights in this impeachment Witch Hunt” as more current and former members of his administration are brought in to testify before Congress.
Republicans are totally deprived of their rights in this Impeachment Witch Hunt. No lawyers, no questions, no transparency! The good news is that the Radical Left Dems have No Case. It is all based on their Fraud and Fabrication!

But the main point remains: Investors should be building up those hedges if they think a Warren presidency is even a remote possibility.

The Democrats have serious math issues. The fact that they all talk about taking guns makes them all dead to me. I think Trump will get four more years and then we will be sick of him and then some socialist nut job will show us all why the second amendment is so needed.
Right you are. Americans suffer from dementia after experiencing good times and always manage to screw themselves. Of course, Americans don’t own the franchise on this idiocy. It happens everywhere in Western countries.
You’ll lose your guns if Trump is re-elected just the same. Watch!
Reminder;
There is no difference between democrats and republicans when it comes to gun control.
I respectfully disagree. I don’t trust the Rinos.
There are no republicans, there are only RHINOS. Which are really democrats in republican clothing. Which in turn means there is only one party, the uniparty.
Agreed. No matter who is president in 2021, we’re getting federal red flag laws, more internet censorship, a new assault weapons ban, more immigration, even more broken health care and higher drug prices, higher deficits and debt. Oh, and probably war with Iran and Syria. Almost forgot legalized pedophilia. It’s just a matter of time.
Yeah right lets see, ever since Obama was elected, the democrats started saying we want your guns and of course, Congress always voted it down even when the Democrats controlled the Senate. Vote Harder must be a new voter, that doesn’t know Jack about politics. Maybe college educated, but has no clue what the 3 branches of government are , just like the Squad of 5!
It’s true that a dem won’t improve the economy but Trump is doing a good job at crashing the economy right now. And that bullshit unemployment rate that even Trump himself admitted was bullshit, now he’s taking credit for said bullshit. But cognitive dissonance will win the day again!
When will you people learn? There is no difference between republicans and democrats. The agendas are bi-partisan. Both political parties work for the same corporations. The system is rigged to give the illusion of choice in the form of a false dichotomy.
That’s a fair statement on all counts but at least Trump is the only one since Eisenhower that is attempting to expose the criminals. The push-back against Trump from both parties is the evidence.
Reminder;
There is not any ‘both’ parties, there is only one party. So if you know how the rigged political system functions, then you would know that is no evidence at all.
Trump is no Eisenhower at all. Nothing like him. Eisenhower warned the American people of the dangers of the disastrous rise of the Military Industrial Complex. Trump works in unison with the MIC to make it even more disastrous. Eisenhower did REAL immigration reform with ‘Operation Wetback’. WTF is Trump doing really about immigration? Nothing but putting on a show for his low information disciples.
Point taken but an unrealistic expectation given today’s climate. Trump would never be allowed to do what Ike did. The attituded of people today are much different than post WWII. Too many snowflakes are alive now. Further, there are limits as to what he can do as president. Congress created this problem. Both parties are to blame. Ditto with the previous 4 presidents.
I’m no Trump disciple but at least he is unmasking some of the criminality that so many Americans are clueless about.
True. And love Trump or hate him, no one can deny that there is a deep state coup and associated witch hunts to take him down, which is illegal except that it is carried out by anonymous operatives in intelligence agency’s which makes it sort of harder to prosecute under the law. It is almost exactly what happened when Roosevelt was president and there was a deep state coup attempt and their cover was blown by General Smedly Butler.
Sure he can do it. He can declare martial law and CON-GRESS can’t do shit about it for 6 months.
The President has awesome powers if he’s bold enough to act. We may be coming up on such a time.
Votey, you neglect to mention that the Prison Industrial Complex was not extant back then. Today we have CivicCore – formerly Corrections Corp of America.

It’s funny how all these industrial complexes don’t serve people at all. They only exist solely for corporation profit. The Prison Industrial Complex’s perverse incentive for locking people up is just the exact same model as a hotel. With hotels the more occupancy, the more profit. Same thing with prisons here.
This is not indicative of a criminal problem, this is corporations trading their stock on Wall Street based on the number of people locked up while lobbying congress for longer harsher sentences for petty offenses and victimless crimes. It’s sick shit. 5% of the worlds population and 25% of the worlds prison population. That is a dysfunctional ratio.
Is anyone else getting tired of the flim-flam man from Queens?
Raise your hand if you’ll be voting for talking-head Trumpscam again in 2020.
…and the alternative is?
We’ve never had the Dems come so clean. Now, they actually admit they want to open the borders with no limit, take our guns, and make us pay for the result. And the fuckers are baby-killers and child molesters. The choice has never been more clear. And if a Dem wins, it’s rigged.
Fearmonger much?
Geez!! The level of ignorance and blindness many well intentioned conservatives who support this douchebag is astounding!
