Hillary should come out and say she’d boost GDP by 15% per year and create eleventy ba-gillion jobs. If it’s OK to just pull numbers out of your arse while the reporters nod sagely, she might as well go big…

The U.S. economy could be $1 trillion smaller than otherwise expected in 2021 if Republican candidate Donald Trump wins the presidential election in November, economics research firm Oxford Economics said on Tuesday.

And Putin is more powerful without a finger airlifting a tank…

LOL! Classic. I have friends who have been trained to speak and write like that because it sounds all fancy-pants in the world of business/finance, but it’s fucking nonsense. Every time they wax into yammering about “leveraging” shit and “maximizing efficiencies” or whatever, I want to slap them in the mouth.

Also too, Trump isn’t smart enough to talk like that haha. What you just produced was like James Beard Award Iron Chef word salad. Trump speaks in Little Caesar’s side salad.

It’s like he was attempting to show off his new clothes in a room full of the world’s best tailors and designers. The fool fooled no one.

Why is it so impossible for people and the media to push back when Trump makes stuff up that is unrealistic? Stand up and call him out whenever you have the chance on things that don’t make any sense already!

And, this proposal sounds a lot like what the Republicans proposed to do in Kansas…that hasn’t turned out well, so why does anyone give this a chance of working any better? Especially when it leaves the largest parts of the budget alone, and squeezes the parts that don’t have any money left to give without cutting government services completely.

Hillary, though I’d rather called her Mrs. C, HRC or, yes even, Mr. President (why should sex matter to the traditional title?), will be transformative, as was Mr. Obama, and all of us will be better off and stronger for it.

Hey! I loved that show as a kid!
I resent you denigrating my cherished memories of “Sky King” with an image of the Orange Buffoon’s gold-plated sky chariot (for which he bills his campaign $8500/hour.)

Trump says he wants to run America like a business remember.
That brings to mind the Underpants Gnomes of South Park fame.

Taxes will go way, way down, people!. Hugely down. And so, under my plan, government revenue, based on those taxes, will go way, way up. It’s simple, people! It’s like I taught my students at Trump University, which by the way was world-class, I said to the students: If you quit working, if you quit making money, your income will skyrocket. This is so simple that the elites don’t want you to know about this. They don’t. If you have less money, you have more money. Have I said it plainly enough? So, people! People! If we cut taxes for the wealthy, that will let us have a big beautiful army, and I’m talking a really big army, plus no cuts in any social services. We will have so many jobs once we kick all the brown people out that your head will spin. Plus, we’re gonna repave all the highways in America the first year. All you have to do is give a huge, a world-class huge tax break to rich people, and all of this stuff is gonna happen. First day Im in office, to be honest with you. National debt will go to zero. Your head will spin. I hope I wasn’t too technical, but you guys are economists so I know you get it.

Trump: “You can’t be President if you’re not healthy” (just seen on CNN)
OK then
Kennedy had serious Addison’s disease
FDR was a victim of polio
Reagan had Alzheimer’s
and these 3 are just off the top of my head.
edit
I would seriously question trump’s mental fitness for the job. I see indications of some serious mental issues that lead me to believe he should NEVER ever be anywhere near the nuke codes. Or in charge of the US economy.

“Trump also described the optimistic target of creating 25 million jobs. As Bloomberg points out, the country has added 7.7 million jobs over the past decade, which puts Trump’s goal at more than three times as many jobs as were created since 2006.”

The tip off was when he began with “Once upon a time…” By now, anyone with a modicum of intelligence should realize that Trump lies every time he opens his pie hole. He is a fraud and a grifter; let’ make that part of every article published here, please. He’s not running a campaign; he’s auditioning for his next “reality” show.
