WaPo is reporting that Trump is looking at ways to boost the economy before the election, including a currency transaction tax(that the GOP won't pass) and a further reduction of the corporate tax rate(which the Dems won't pass).

Reports are that he's meeting with his trade team now after that insane tweet storm. Can they talk him out of 50% tariffs???

I don't know if I was correct with my assessment that attacking the Fed is smart for Trump. But he clearly thinks it is.

Passing thought: many have thought about what an economic downturn would to to Trump's chances for re-election. What I hadn't really thought about is what it might do to his fragile ego. I wonder if we've not yet seen the depths of how unhinged this dude can get.

I don't think so. I don't see a world where he steps down for the good of the party. Which means that even if, say, the GOP powers that be rig the Primary so that someone else becomes the nominee, you will still have Trump running as a third party and/or urging his base to not vote for Pence/Jeb/Weld/Romney/Whomever or even telling his base to stay home and teach the GOP a lesson. They might lose with Trump as the nominee. They might even lose big. But the short-term downside risks to trying to push him out could be worse. They could go as far as them losing every Senate race or something crazy like that. |

In light of the Epstein saga, the whole story (accusation) of trump raping a 13yr old girl, and the circumstances surrounding it, are so much more plausible. Add in witnesses and the language reportedly used, and it's downright sickening to think about. Still not sure how we're at the point where something like this doesn't actually bring serious questions onto him that count for anything, but we are.

He had servants, etc. growing up, and he has them now. And he eats a lot of fast food. So I know he does it very very very rarely. But over the course of his whole life? I have to think that there's been a point where he made himself a PB&J. Or boiled a hot dog. Like in college or something, right? I'm going with yes, at some point, he has prepared an item of food. |

Do you think he could make a grilled cheese sandwich? I'm thinking he might be able to do it if you put all of the perfect components in front of him, like 2 slices of bread, soft butter, some cheese slices and a pan at medium-low....but I bet he'd lose out on a wrestling match with a new, tightly wrapped loaf of bread, or a stick of cold butter.

I don't imagine he's seen enough food being made to necessarily even guess how you do a grilled cheese. Like my mom made me food growing up, but I was often in the kitchen. I doubt Trump ever spent a moment in the kitchen, so it's all a bit of a mystery to him.

I think he's playing a different con. He's a serial entrepreneur for certain, and I think his play here started out as "I'm a big fan of sneaky persuasion tactics, and Trump uses some of the same stuff I have studied, so that's cool I get to talk like an expert." He sold some books and made a name for himself, politically, just by having the foresight to predict that Trump would prevail based on that. (Incidentally, I think there's substance to all this) That said, now he's seemingly taken a full MAGA turn, and more or less worships his every move. I think he's just playing the Alex Jones angle now, more or less portraying a character, with eventual designs on selling snake oil to the huddle mouth-breathing masses who buy in based on their identity/allegiances. So, some day, he'll be able to sell his Dil-bars or Dil-dos or chicken sandwiches or shoes or what-the-f-ever it ends up being at a premium price, based on his bona fides with the gullible right. (Honestly, I suspect what he wants is to re-ignite Trump University, but in his own name and likeness... sell the "art of persuasion" and get suckers to come take classes in how to win like Trump.) |

I don't think I've truly grasped the idiocracy out there after having read some of the replies to the tweet about fentanyl, I am dumbfounded by the depths of it.

I do think the Chinese government is involved in selling fentanyl to Americans in order to help destabilize the population and make a small profit to boot.
Is that belief too tin foil hatty?

Yet the Russians are not (more legitmately trying to destabilize the population, or is that ok now)?
Or perhaps, the Japanese are selling violent video games to cause gun deaths to rise? Are the Mexicans and Colombians, or anyone else selling drugs to the US going for the same thing? It's a little bit flat earth for me. That's taking a probable outcome and attaching a meaning and motive on the front end of it. Like creation and religion. I guess that's not too tin hatty for a lot of people, so....

The only reason to be interested in Greenland is if you believe climate change will open up previously unreachable mineral deposits. The climate change that's a Chinese hoax.
Everything's a con.

Libertarians: You know (insert name... W Bush, Clinton, Obama) can't just bypass Congress with an executive order for things that can actually be legislated.
Ha ha ha, you use the roads don't you? Go back to your gold standard idiot! I know you guys love the constitution but Congress will do nothing so (insert name... W Bush, Clinton, Obama) has to do it. What could possibly go wrong with a president misusing an executive order when he is only doing it for good? https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/24/polit...act/index.html |

If this happens, much like with other controversial executive orders, there will be a court case and eventually the Supreme Court will make a determination. That would still be the ways things worked even if more people on the internet agreed with fictional libertarians.

Are we talking about the Libertarian nominee for President who supported Obama's use of executive order on DACA? Who said he'd use executive orders to eliminate the NSA and IRS? Who would use an executive order to de-criminalize marijuana? Heck, the Libertarian candidate for 2020 that's raised the most money so far has a platform that boils down to signing an executive order dissolving the federal government. Not sure these are the folks opposed to executive orders. |

It’s tough and weird having a “world leader” with such ignorant gaps in common knowledge. He’s asked about having “second thoughts” about recent decisions...he obviously just doesn’t understand what that phrase means but he figures it sounds good and responds yes, he has them about everything.
Then the WH Comms team has to go through this whole charade of issuing a statement about what he really meant and how it was strategic. It’s absurd that everyone just plays along. |

That was my take as well. He wanted to win, so he decided he has more thoughts. Ask him about third or fourth thoughts and he'll say yes to that as well. The short presser with Boris Johnson was funny when Boris mentioned cabotage and Trump clearly had no idea what he was talking about.

Good gracious. And now looking at the media coverage of this and the White House "clarification," this is insane. No one that I can find in even the left-leaning media has had the guts (or good sense) to say "nah...he just didn't know what the question meant."

Joe Walsh attempting to primary Trump is going to be interesting, and perhaps more consequential than some are thinking at first blush. He'll fight fire with fire on the personal attacks, outflank Trump from the right, garner plenty of media attention, and potentially be the kind of disruptive force we've only seen recently in...Trump.
Most fascinating to me will be the contrast of Walsh's apologies for his past behaviors vs. Trump's utter unwillingness to do so. I'm curious to see how conservative "Christian" voters respond to repentance vs. unrepentance in the primaries. (If they do, I'll gladly remove those quotation marks...)

Where is Kasich? I had him pegged as a guaranteed challenger, given that he never gave in to t-rump and has maintained a high road, high visibility profile. Now that the curtain is up, even if just a little bit, it should make jumping in for a primary challenge that much easier.

Kasich probably realized that Republican voters have fully embraced Trumpism so it'd be a waste of time.
