https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/12/17/why-these-past-few-weeks-have-been-best-trumps-presidency/

The House of Representatives will soon impeach President Trump. Yet these past few weeks have arguably been the best of Trump’s presidency — not despite impeachment, but in no small part because of it.

Consider the string of successes Trump has racked up in recent days. First came news that the U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs in November, far exceeding economic forecasts. Not only that, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics also revised the September and October jobs reports upward, adding 41,000 more jobs to the Trump economic record. And a new Quinnipiac poll found that 57 percent of Americans said they are better off financially since Trump took office.

In a move that will further bolster the economy, Trump reached agreement with House Democrats to move forward on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), giving the president a major win. Within days, Trump also reached a “Phase 1” trade deal with China, postponing new tariffs on Chinese goods that were set to kick in and cutting tariffs on some Chinese products he had previously imposed in half. The administration expects a $200 billion boost in exports over two years from the deal. Both deals will certainly bolster the president’s standing with the rural and working-class voters who defected to Trump from the Democrats in 2016. ...

Trump also got good news from across the pond, when Boris Johnson’s Conservatives trounced the Labour Party by effectively following Trump’s 2016 campaign script — appealing to working-class voters with an anti-globalist message, promises to protect entitlements and make “colossal” investments in infrastructure. The Tory victory showed that Trump’s brand of conservative populism is still potent.

To top it all off, Trump learned that the Justice Department inspector general found that the FBI had falsified evidence in its applications to the FISA court to conduct surveillance on former campaign adviser Carter Page, as part of its counterintelligence investigation into his presidential campaign, and that — contrary to former FBI director James B. Comey’s claims — the Democratic National Committee-funded Steele dossier played a “central and essential role” in authorizing that surveillance.

Ah, say the critics, but this good news was bookended by the dark cloud of impeachment, which dimmed the luster of Trump’s successes. The opposite is true. Many of these successes happened precisely because of impeachment. Until now, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had been dragging her feet on the USMCA and other Trump priorities. So why did the legislative logjam break precisely the same week that Democrats introduced their articles of impeachment?

Because Democrats know that voters see them focusing on impeachment at the expense of getting things done. Moderate Democrats running in Trump districts have seen the polling showing that two-thirds of swing-state voters who cast their ballots for Trump in 2016, but then voted for Democrats in 2018, plan to back Trump again in 2020. One of them, Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-N.J.), was so alarmed he is switching to the Republican Party. As the rest of the Democrats are forced to walk the plank on impeachment, they are desperate to show that they are also working with Trump on the kitchen-table issues they campaigned on. Trump didn’t get all this done despite impeachment; impeachment is the reason Democrats allowed gridlock to finally give way.

Impeachment is both a legislative and political plus for Trump. After weeks of hearings, most polls show that support for impeachment and removal has gone down — especially in swing states. Before the impeachment hearings began, a GOP poll by Firehouse Strategies showed Trump trailing his Democratic challengers; now, in the wake of the impeachment hearings, Trump is leading them all. The politics will only get worse for Democrats going forward. As soon as the House votes, impeachment moves to the Republican-controlled Senate. When the Senate acquits Trump, as it inevitably will, the spirits of the “Resistance” will be dampened — while Trump supporters will be energized by his victory and claimed vindication.

Bottom line: The economy is humming, Trump’s accomplishments are accumulating and impeachment is backfiring — and that makes these the best weeks of Trump’s presidency so far.

The best!

Those denying the impact President Trump has had on the economic situation....one that President Obama said wasn’t possible...one that the puppet Greta Thunberg said is a myth...have their heads buried in a dark smelly place.

We haven’t seen economic times this good and likely won’t aim in our lifetimes.

I voted for Rand Paul in the primary and while he is right on a lot, he wouldn’t be nearly this effective. Very happy Donald Trump is the President.

President Obama said wasn’t possible


What Obama said was impossible was bringing the manufacturing back, which is true. Manufacturing employment is nowhere close to 2007 levels.

Trump Cucks are so excited about white nationalism that they are happy to lie to themselves and others about the amazing things Trump is supposedly doing.

The economy is continuing what happened under Obama, adding relatively low paying and part time "gig" jobs.

I really don't think the economy we have is worth the trillion dollar deficits we are running to buy it. Something is significantly amiss if we supposedly have a great economy but we also have trillion dollar deficits.

You'll know the economy is doing truly great when deficits are decreasing.

Yup - we have big bloated expensive government with criminally lavish (and unpayable) pensions schemes along with criminally inept management of our our expensive entitlement programs.

Time to expect more from our Federal, State and Local workers and bureaucrats to bring down the cost of government before just shoveling them more cash with tax increases.

They aren't admitted white nationalists. In fact technically they aren't white nationalists, becasue they don't advocate (yet) for a separate white country, or for mass deportations (except of undocumented immigrants), and they certainly aren't advocating genocide (yet). I say yet becasue our species has a history of letting things get to that point. Not saying we have even that trajectory.

They're just confused about what they want. . And yet they respond with strong emotion to politicians with white nationalist dog whistling, who are probably using it only to get elected, to then turn around and take care of the plutocracy. That's what triggers me. They even have the absurdity to say that it's the opposite, and that Trump is the only one looking out for the little guy. Really ?

So now you’ve arbitrarily redefined “white nationalist” as merely a Trump supporter?

Webster defines it this way:
Definition of white nationalist
: one of a group of militant whites who espouse white supremacy and advocate enforced racial segregation

If I as a Trump supporter were automatically a white nationalist, I’d have to divorce my multi-racial wife, disown my multi-racial kids, disown my multi-racial extended family, and then lynch myself for being a race traitor.

People who define Trump supporters as white nationalists are pieces of utter shit.

Seriously, WTF, I wasn't even interested in politics until late 2017, when ppl from all over Boston and NYC went crazy, acting as if the election was stolen ala Al Gore 2000.

And then, 2 years later, it's the same thing. The keys notes are Trump's a sleaze, a racist, an X, a Y, and a Z. And as many Dems say ... it was Obama's economy; well, you can then just as well say that it was Bush's economy as GWB used both the "guns & butter" along with Q/E approaches, to dig out of the DotCom/Telecom crash. So Obama and Trump were the caretaker of Bush's legacy.

So there you have it, a 3rd viewpoint on the state of the economy.

Now, instead of responding with a logical counterattacks, the Dems have "The Squad" (a.k.a fucking idiot leftist freshman congresswomen) and Bernie Sanders calling for revolution at Venice Beach CA, https://deadline.com/2019/12/bernie-sanders-vows-political-revolution-at-la-rally-1202815721/

as if Venice Beach along with Burlington VT (Bernie's socialist hometown) were the swing regions which the Dems had lost in 2016. Seriously, will these idiots ever learn, they have already won the coastal major metro areas, focus on the midwest and the lakes region.

If we don't have a major market crash this spring/summer followed by huge waves of layoffs, Trump gets re-elected. It's as simple as that. As we say in the trading business, Trump's personality traits have been priced into the market and thus, have little effect on the final outcome.

So if a few white nationalists in Boise Idaho want to act all gleeful, then let 'em have their soiree. The rest of the nation, whch really doesn't care about all that KKK nonsense, will move on with "the business of America, which is business", quoting Calvin Coolidge.

In the real world, I believe it's 6. Hundreds of businesses ? He does sell his brand, but I doubt that counts as priofitable businesses Trump owns.

Trump inherited hundreds of millions, and I believe at some point had almost lost it all. He even managed to fail at owning a casino. That sounds harder than it apparently is. As for his successes, we don't know that, but it's a good guess that he's pretty desparate considering he steals from his charities, and let his name be used to steal from poor suckers who thought they could get rich just like him with his Trump University.

Do you deny that he's an amoral conman and that he's more than happy to try to get away with fraud or any other unethical way to make a buck ?

If he was really worth 10 billion, why would he do that ? Especially the stealing from his charity.

What the fuck ? Talk about teflon image ?

@marcus

> In the real world, I believe it's 6.
Sure, my mistake.

I don't care for your attempts to put emotional spin on numeric data. It's quite simple: I challenged your "bankruptcy artist" statement and pointed out that his success rate seems quite high, but perhaps your standards are stricter, and asked what they are.

Valid responses would've been:
1) number of his bankruptcies is much higher, here's data, the ratio of bankruptcies is quite high.
That didn't happen (6 vs 4 doesn't cut it).
2) number of his successful enterprises is much lower, here's data, the ratio of bankruptcies is quite high.
There was a hint at that, but too vague to count. Feel free to pressure here if that's what's on your mind. So far it didn't happen.
3) some combination of the above.
That didn't happen.
4) explaining what your standards are, in numbers, and how Trump doesn't pass.
That didn't happen.

Here's what did happen:
"He inherited hundreds of millions and I believe almost lost it all" NOT a valid response.
"He's inethical" NOT a valid response .
"Do you deny that he's amoral conman...Why do integrity, honesty, character and intelligence not matter to you ?" NOT a valid response.

Can you stick to numbers to defend your point? The shaming card has been overplayed and doesn't work. That witch is long dead.

Or shall I read again how he's bankruptcy artist because he's amoral and that he's amoral because he's a bankruptcy artist?

The key word is "seems". We know he has had bankruptcies and fucked over countless vendors, had a sham "university" and charity among other moral and financial debacles. But it "seems" he has had many successes and is very rich. TRUMP is, as all good promoters and con men are, all about what "seems" to be, not what is. If you close one eye and squint with the other while standing on one leg shouting nah nah nah nah nah one might continue to believe that he tells the truth about his financial acumen.

@mostly_reader. I explained that the bankruptcy rate is 50% higher than what you said. I also questioned the "hundreds of businesses," assuming that you're counting the licensing of his brand as businesses he owns. So I did address the ratio. But I don't have some bar. It's not that relevant to my point.

To which you decided argue that those bankruptcies aren't that bad. Okay fine. This tactic of taking a point someone is making and drilling down to some subtext and asking for proof, rather than addressing the point, what is that ?

If you are of the opinion that Trump is not amoral, or that he must be a highly successful businessman/ investor (e.g. that he is even possibly worth a fraction of what what he would have been if he had simply invested that 400 million inheritance in stocks and bonds), then please share what you consider the most redeemable aspects of his character and intellect, and or some proof that he is worth even one fifth of the 10 billion he says he is. And again, if he is worth so much, why would he steal from a charity ?

Maybe you can help me understand why stealing from his charity doesn't stain his image far more than it does.

Really I'm open to learning what a truly great person he is. Surely you must feel that way which is why you took issue with my point.

Because he is prudent?

I remember that as soon as Trump actually declared for Presidential run, journalists started the fake media assaults to tar him with the 'stupid and crazy' brush. One thing Trump always did say was that by borrowing large amounts of money, even using bankruptcy re-structuring, he forced banks to continue to invest in him rather than just repossess, foreclose, or call notes. It was a nerve wracking business strategy, but worked for Trump. He made them need him and his success.

@marcus

I can't be any clearer than this. You used the "bankruptcy artist" label. I'm challenging this label because it seems like BS, and more so, the type of BS that your team has turned into false news because your team attempts to create impression of personal bankruptcies.

50% doesn't change the picture because it still keeps his number of bankruptcies in single percents, compared to the projected total number of enterprises. You'd really have to challenge the other number, the total, to make a dent. Which you are trying to do, but it appears that you don't have a clue about that other number. Not even approximately. Simply refusing to take 500+ for face value is not good enough because you are the one throwing around the "bankrupt artist" label and therefore the burden of proof is on you.

Here's what we do know. Trump has been known to jump into all kinds of projects. There's real estate development, golf courses, perfume, vodka, airline, reality TV, etc. He's a textbook opportunistic entrepreneur. You know what you'd expect from such approach, what would be the most normal thing in the world? Failures. You know what else you'd expect? Successes. He apparently had both. Here's a quick link that google turned up on the subject: https://time.com/3988970/donald-trump-business/ His ratio is quite good.

You should never use this "he should've simply invested that 400 million inheritance in stocks and bonds" line. For the same reason that you should never use "he should've invested in Microsoft" line. It's irrelevant, unless you can also point out that a large portion of people in his position HAS done that, while he wasn't as smart as those other people. Both propositions have the same flaw: you'd have to know ahead of time that this strategy is the right one. Indeed, Microsoft would've been a harder guess, which makes my point more obvious and which is why I picked it for illustration. Investing in stocks and bonds seems like a trivial guess with our retrospective knowledge, but to truly know if it was just as trivial guess back then you'd have to compare Trump to other people at the same time in history.

> Really I'm open to learning what a truly great person he is. Surely you must feel that way which is why you took issue with my point.
Mmmm... Mind-reading is really, really not your thing.
I took an issue because many on the left parrot this talking point about bankruptcies, while it doesn't seem to align with reality.

Says he is worth 10 billion in 2016, but has trouble getting loans. Has to go to Deutsche Bank., but even they wouldn't help him out at that point.

https://washingtonmonthly.com/2019/02/02/honest-rich-people-dont-have-trouble-getting-loans-trump-couldnt-get-one-in-2016/


More to the point, it reinforces the smoke and mirrors nature of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization’s financial existence. Trump’s populist appeal hinged, in part, on being so wealthy that he knew all the loopholes and couldn’t be bought or corrupted. But there is little indication that Trump has anything like the sort of money he professes to have. Billionaires don’t write out $70,000 cash bribes in monthly installments. People with the resources of a Tom Steyer or Michael Bloomberg don’t need to take out a loan if they spend a comparatively paltry $30 million or $40 million of their own money on a vanity political project. They just write out the check and think nothing of it.

Honest rich people also don’t have trouble getting loans even if they do require them. Banks are happy to lend to them because they’re guaranteed to get their money back plus a big interest payment. But even before running for president, Donald Trump was well-known in the banking community as such a high default risk that none but Deutsche Bank would lend to him–and even they wouldn’t do it in 2016 because they figured they might not ever be able to recoup it if he actually won the presidency.

As for Deutsche Bank, it’s worth remembering that Robert Mueller’s team is actively investigating the company, which was forced to pay a hefty fine for laundering $10 billion in money from Russian oligarchs connected to Putin. While no one can prove anything yet, dark insinuations have abounded about the connections between the Trump Organization, Deutsche Bank, Trump’s strangely unprofitable money sinkholes like Turnberry golf course, and Russian money laundering. But not even Deutsche Bank would step in for Trump in 2016.

*If I bought a casino* and it went bankrupt, and I lost big time on the deal too, I would be ashamed. I'm pretty sure he is.

But you didn't. So you tear down other peoples failures because of your own shortcomings. That's not a put down, but a fact of human nature. You act as if you know you'd do a better job running a casino. You have no flipping clue if you'd run that same casino he bought better. There are so many variables that you, or myself included, understand about casino operations to speak any authority on it.

Failure is technically progress. It advances the human race so we become better and don't make the same mistakes again. Personally I don't think it should be bashed or we create an atmosphere or attitude where no one wants to take risk anymore. That's dangerous.

Now has Trump likely done shady things? Yes. But that's what the legal system is for. To date, he's been slapped on the wrist, with nothing even close to getting jail time. I can't remember the rate, but every business owner will likely get sued or have to settle on something.

What I know for certain though, is there's not one completely ethical business person on this planet, and most if not all have committed some petty crime to get an edge or avoid tax. So people need to stop pretending that we're in some pure world where everyone is honest. That be horse shit.

Trump sold all his Atlantic City casinos long before they shut down. Carl Ichan owned the Taj Mahal when he shut it down during a strike. Other people were using Trump's name on their casino. I happen to be in AC right now.

I think the economy is it's own beast. It can't be totally attributed to POTUS (not that you're saying that). You're going to get the left saying the raising of minimum wage in many states is the cause of the graph. The right will say it's Trump preventing illegals from entering or some other talking point. There's no way to say what it is definitively.

That said, it's the reason I'm okay with Trump in office even with all his flaws. It's the reason he'll get elected again. Our (wife and I) 401K's have increased 6 figures since he's been elected (not in contributions). Our pay has increased by 25% overall and I quit my full time job, lol. Times are good and losers are still stuck on the loss. It's pathetic really.

They need to wake up and start blaming Hillary for once. ANY Republican candidate except maybe a couple would have beat Hillary in '16. You let political "royalty" take over an entire party and you blame Trump for it. You still can't get that cunt out of the back seat of your car as she urges you to drive it off a cliff.

+1000. I had 10 rental houses and I work for a 280 vehicle taxi company. I have been to court many times. This is an aspect of running an actual business that a government employee that bashes Trump has no concept of.

And by the way, "buying stocks" would have no value unless actual corporate businessmen and businesswomen were out taking risks and creating industries, goods and services. A clown talking about businessmen "investing in stocks" is no better than the clown who claims he does not need farms because he gets his groceries at Whole Foods.

Mind reading again. If there is anything that current political divide should've taught you, it's that you can't read other people's minds, or else you'd have to believe that half the country is Hitler/Mao/Whatever.
To the issue at hand, do you understand that you can't substantiate this "bankruptcy artist" claim that your team throws around so casually?
