There’s not enough strain on Hassett’s personal economy.

SHS needs to define what Trump’s long term economic principles are other than driving the economy and government into the ditch.

“I know there has been some impact, but at the same time we’re focused on the long term economic principles the president has laid out,”

Sounds like someone got yelled at for making Daddy look bad on the TeeVee.

“I know there has been some impact, but at the same time we’re focused on the long term economic principles the president has laid out,”

The long term goal being to radically reduce the number of federal employees to the point where they “shrink [government] down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub” then transfer the “cost savings” to the 1%. GOP Nirvana.

Trump ended up lunching with a selection of lesser-known House Republicans.

People who couldn’t do him any good in getting him out of the corner he painted himself in but were totally willing to fellate him. Same old, same old.

The longer this drags on, the more the economy takes it in the shorts and the financial wizards aren’t going to be able to go on CNBC and gush about how very strong the US economy is. The ONLY ones Rump is listening to are the feral trumpers and ONLY when they realize that sacrificing their paychecks for “wall” isn’t worth it, then he’ll declare victory and move on as if it never happened.

Shutting the government to own the libs, which will result in a recession and an economic downturn which could cost him the 2020 election…to own the libs. Pure genius!

And when the economy turns, the powerbrokers will dump him faster than a woman on a blind date with Steven Miller.

I know…that’s why I said blind date. No one would ever go into it knowingly. Though it would be funny to see him try to impress her while getting thrown out of restaurants.

Hassett is not an asset.

Talk about having a punchable face. Added bonus: so this is what a cuck looks like.

@vlharpley : that reminds me, the corporate payday is now actually a $2 trillion hit to the deficit. An ever so pesky $600 billion was unaccounted for.
