Wasn't Teflon Don planning to win reelection on the basis of a strong US economy? LOL!

Trump always lies.
Therefore.....

It will put the republicans in a place where they will have two "bad" choices: agree with Trump, or fail to answer questions on the economy. I do not anticipate that any of them will speak honestly, of course, for that is not their nature.
I was watching Trump yesterday, and kept looking at his eyes. He is evil. I don't think he has ever done a good deed without looking to benefit from it.

Trump is the most "zero-sum game" oriented person I've ever seen. He honestly believes that if someone else benefits from an exchange in ANY way, then he is somehow getting fucked on the deal. ANY benefit that he gives to someone else represents something taken from him, and he can't stand for that.
"Art of The Deal", my ass. What a fucking joke. Trump couldn't negotiate a deal between two little boys fighting over a GI Joe.

(15,235 posts)Do you remember when he promised a big Trump resort in Moscow? Then, Teflon Don tried to use money from Putin and his fiends for a project, where Teflon Don probably planned to run the resort to grab more rubles.
Ex-KGB agents don't forgive or forget those kind of things.
Most likely Trump and the RNC plan to hire their own hackers to steal the elections.

(73,536 posts)Russia might help Trump again, but not because they like or in any way respect him. Rather, they know that he creates serious divisions in the US, and damages our international relationships. He respresents the decay of the empire.

(15,235 posts)Judging from the way he kisses Kim Jong Uns ass, he's hoping North Korea will help hack the elections.
But he's naive about the internet.
If President Xi Jinping - of China - decides to cut off the internet in North Korea, it would be easier than me turning off a light to conserve energy.
Teflon Don, who NO ONE can trust, has already declared a trade-war with China and publicly insulted perhaps the most powerful person in the world.
Let's see how that plays out...
