Well, he remains the self-interested, arrogant sumbitch he revealed himself to be during the M$ antitrust trial.

And he's not giving until it hurts.  His wealth continues to grow, very intentionally.

That means he’s no saint. It doesn’t mean he’s a dumbass. I don’t know where Hank is coming from with that.

    This is what I find so hilarious about our DT posters who rag on aggy. Oh, so you have identical beliefs concerning economics, race, religion, education, taxation, politics, and social issues as aggy,

Well, I do get called gay slurs a lot when riding my bike so it checks out. Nothing is gayer than taking care of yourself.

People that do that (bolded) are really stupid. The correct comment when passed/passing by a cyclist is "Refund! Refund!"

IYKYK.

No one passes me on another bike! A few years ago I was riding with a buddy when some roofers started talking shit so I turned around and confronted them. They weren’t that tough when challenged.

At least we had some good movies. I honestly think the reason why Gen Xers like Trump more than other cohorts is because when we were growing up and becoming adults, Donald Trump was the brand most synonymous with money and success, fed to us since childhood. We grew up with him and at one point or another we all got sucked into that belief or took it for granted, at least a little. Tough to deprogram that.

We had a lot of good movies but Home Alone 2 wasn’t one of them. I don’t understand how anyone in my/our generation fell for the ruse that Donald Trump was a rich, successful businessman.

I wasn’t old enough to drive yet in 1983 when Trump made his debut in the national media. Here was this loudmouth douchebag on a media tour celebrating the fact that he built a tall building in New York City. Big fucking deal. Lots of people have done that. Have you seen the city? Why is this a story? Why should I care? Oh, because he put his name on it? SO FUCKING WHAT?! Why should I care and why am I seeing him get this much media coverage over it? I had a negative reaction to him from the start and nothing changed as time went by.

I saw that he was a frequent character on the cover of the National Enquirer. I thought that made him more of a joke. (It wasn’t until decades later that I learned that was part of his campaign of self-promotion to the rubes.) I watched as his affair with Marla Maples became national news while he was still married to Ivana. I saw how he had some success promoting himself as rich and successful but I also saw that he was the butt of jokes on Johnny Carson and Saturday Night Live.

I watched as he bankrupted his businesses, including casinos where the house is supposed to always win. I watched as he was forced to sell his private jet. I watched as as he was reduced to making commercials for laundry detergent and fast food.

Oh but look, he’s wearing a tuxedo. I guess that means he’s still got class.

IMG_4293.jpeg.da78a04ef3a8eee8909fcc2254e151ea.jpeg.

i watched him ditch Marla for Melania, some Eastern Bloc gold-digger. I always found him to be a repulsive, cartoonish character. I never watched The Apprentice because I thought he was a joke for my entire adult life and then some. I thought everyone saw him that way. I never dreamed that so many people took him seriously, least of all others from my generation.

Reagan's are more controversial, but they also are credited with causing an economic expansion.

“Credited with” doesn’t mean “responsible for.” Maybe lower oil prices and massive deficit spending by the government had something to do with, for a little while.

I think he means credited in the GOP political catachism, not by people who think about economic events.

GenX here. I don’t agree that many in the 80s or 90s really thought Trump was much more than a self aggrandizing fool. I knew a few conservative types (think someone who looked up to Alex P Keaton) who referred to him as The Donald.

trump was never someone that deserved any respect. I would have effectively said the same in 1990.

I used to call him The Donald.  It was a term of contempt derived from Ivana's pidgin references to him.

I don’t follow. Care to spell it out for me why?

Hard disagree. I’m 52 and have always thought Trump was a blowhard assclown. I will admit to enjoying The Apprentice when it started but I never held him in much regard ever. That said, I had no idea in 2016 he would become what he became.

Literal LOL at "next election."

It's cool that we're all keeping our sense of humor.

I read The Art of Deal when I was in high school and thought he was full of shit back then.  It was evident then that he was riding his Dad's money and was not a great business mind.  But then again, I have can use both thumbs and breath through my nose.   Unlike most idiot Americans.

Curious, is Oahu feeling the insanity as much at the mainland? I know the tariffs will for sure, but culturally?

I’m on Maui so smaller scale but I haven’t noticed much here honestly. Saw one trump flag during all of election season and that was only the day after he won it. The hands off rally here showed me old whites out here are pissed about their 401k/SS that’s for sure. 

When I was on Oahu last year it was like a 2 week vacation from trumpy bastards that are a dime a dozen here in Texas. Didn't think about it all once. Hoping it stays that way there.

Yeah, right now it feels like future "elections" will be about as free and fair and some of his recent "golf championships".

Meanwhile, this fuckhead is actively tanking the dollar.  It was $1.23 when he took office.  Now up to $1.32.  I was hoping for $1.28 or better before I buy my next traunch of GBPs.  At this rate, fuck it, I'm hosed.

The strongest currency in the world....and he's fucking strangling it and holding its head underwater.  Because....reasons.

Damn trumps economy is picking winners and losers,

All economic policies pick winners and losers. Certain industries get subsidies or bailouts in every administration. I know this is likely phrased here just to use GOP criticism of Obama policies against the current admin but 1) it’s a bad criticism and 2) they’re incapable of shame or caring about hypocrisy

Yeah weird. Maybe tariffs weren’t “paused” or “walked back” and what’s been implemented amounts to a global trade war with no discernible off ramp, and the details change daily. 
 

The thing that chaps my ass is how so many negative stories about the economy and inflation were laid at Biden’s feet in the run up to the election but here we actually have the President as the sole and single cause for the economic downturn and there aren’t universal voices screaming that he’s crashing the god damned plane into the mountain.

Fucking.  THIS.

Economic effects of a global economy and factors outside of the Executive's control?  BLAME BIDEN.

Economic effects caused SOLELY by the erratic, mercurial, juvenile, and pointless acts of the Executive, and the Executive alone?  CRICKETS CHIRPING.
