    If you're confusing flying over and swimming across... Are you related to Trump per chance?

    We are not talking about MASS, we are talking about surface area, between the atmosphere which covers land and the oceans, the pollution which travels over it, the operative phrase is, "And it blows over and it sails over."

    The trash we piled up on the Hanger deck in the 70's, for one trip, almost filled one half of the second deck of CV 43, that trash was nothing compared to the mass of the ocean, it only mattered compared to surface area. The marines would shoot the trash we threw over, but, the reason for the ban had nothing to do with what sunk, it had to do with surface area.

    That's not true at all. Do your homework.

    That's too funny. And further example of the left's complete misrepresentation of what Trump's policies and supply side economics is about. We have new trade deals with Mexico, Canada, South Korea, and the beginnings of a new deal with China (who just agreed to reducing their tariffs on vehicles that they import from the US), the EU, the UK. Are you really that poorly informed or suffering from TDS ??

    He didn't say oceans are smaller in size than the atmosphere. That is you adding your interpretation of his words.
    As usual, it is very difficult to understand what Trump means. I wonder whether that is intentional - because it allows everyone to hear what they want to hear - or whether it is the unintentional ramblings of a simple mind that is incapable of clear and precise thought and language.

    I'm to the right of Trump on economics. Thanks for the humorous dodge though

    Everyone who voted for him. Most of them haven't realised it yet.

    A petty spelling mistake. FYI, those hurricanes in that happen in the atmosphere, the oceans play a part in their creation!!!!

    So does dry land. That doesn’t make land part of the atmosphere.

    I've stated that the economic indicators I spoke about have been on the same upward trend since 2009. This is an objective fact. I also said that Trump stated we would be billions of dollars richer if we didn't trade with any other country. This is also an objective fact -- he did state that. Anyone denying these objective facts while calling others "poorly informed" needs to get better at doing homework.

    Funny I do not feel conned, at all. I must be one of them stoopid rednecks who do not know what’s good for him.

    Say, how’s RBG doing, hope her recoveries from her injuries are complete. I wish her many a healthy years and a speedy retirement. Trump must appoint yet another SCOTUS, thus completing Conservative hold on Judicial branch. That’s what I voted him in for.

    Name one thing I just stated that is false. Just one. Without trying to change the subject to something else. Which of these are you claiming is incorrect:

    1) GDP has been on an upward trend since 2009.
    2) All of the major stock indices have been on an upward trend since 2009.
    3) Employment has been on an upward trend since 2009.
    4) Trump stated we would be billions of dollars richer if we didn't trade.

    Be specific. Are you calling one of these claims false or are you avoiding the statements altogether and just trolling?

    Why would a President who believed in isolationism be negotiating trade deals around the globe ??

    What’s the difference between 2% and 4% ?? What’s the difference between 1% and 3% ??

    I'll try again. Name one thing I just stated that is false. Just one. Without trying to change the subject to something else. Which of these are you claiming is incorrect:

    Be specific. Are you calling one of these claims false or are you avoiding the statements altogether and just trolling? It isn't difficult. All you have to do is pick an number and we can see who is "ill informed" about these topics.
