    And businesses I've worked for and lost money due to Trump's circumvention of the Constitution, whereas I lost nothing during the past president's time. Hell, my income more than doubled.

    P.S. - for any business consultant out there looking to profit off of Trump's foolishness, see if you can pivot into supply chain management. Lots of companies are having to dump money that they would otherwise be using to generate profit and create jobs to plug the leaks created by Trump's tariffs. That's actually what my sister in law is doing now.

    No, you haven't. You keep saying he hasn't lied while referring to videos that show him lying.

    You've again shown a video of Trump claiming Ivanka created 14 million jobs. She hasn't.

    You haven't. You are referring to the original video, which people have watched. That original video doesn't show that the OP was a lie, and apparently neither can you, otherwise you would explain it rather than being vague and lobbing accusations at other posters.

    So you are a Chinese businessman? What's your beef against American manufacturing, labor cost to high?

    Nope, not a Chinese businessman. Anyone with international supply chains (doesn't have to be with China) stands to lose from Trump's trade tantrums. Anyone who cares about the Constitution should have a problem with them. As should anyone who favors capitalism over central planning.

    International supply chains have helped me generate more US jobs. That's part of the fun of the fact that (as Trump seems incapable of realizing) trade is not a zero-sum game.

    Word salad, Chinese tariffs hurt US manufacturing for years, everyone is trying to get rich with sweat shop labor sold at Walmart.

    Econ 101 is not word salad. If you need further explanation for anything I've said, just ask. Of course Chinese tariffs have hurt the US . . . they have also hurt China. That's how tariffs work. You don't need sweat shop labor for international trade to benefit you.

    Are you seriously going to make me go all of the way back to Wealth of Nations? Adam Smith poked holes in your theories centuries ago. Capitalism arose specifically to combat this mercantilist nonsense.

    Trade is not a zero-sum game. It benefits both parties. That's why trade happens.

    You can love capitalism or you can hate globalism, but you can't do both. Capitalism is inherently globalist.

    Look for an interview of likely voters where they were asked about the POTUS bragging that he could extinguish the life of a person out on the street and not lose support. When asked if they would say that would be ok a Donald fan said "depends what his reason was to have. .........ed the person, implying yes it may be ok . That is the sickness of some hopefully a minute number of Don's fans.

    It does depend on the circumstances.. it is absolutely ok to kill someone in the streets under the right circumstances. For instance if they physically attacked you..

    Gotta love the way Trumpists swallow his lies by playing make-believe that they were just a joke of some kind.

    Years ago they told us they liked him because he's a straight shooter . . . now they tell us they like him because he is never a straight shooter. Curious.

    No, no way did I or would I mock the OP for dishonesty. I mocked the lying Exaggerator InChief.

    Funny how we are getting two mutually exclusive excuses for this. One says the defender was right, the other says the defender was joking.

    I like him because of his conservative Judicial appointments. One more SCOTUS appointment and the liberal agenda is set back for twenty years.

    I never voted for Trump, but it does amuse me how he can ruffle the feathers of the left wing establishment, I guess only a liberal like Trump could do it.

    No, thevwoman who said that meant it because based on her answers my assecessment is that she spoke and looked too stupid to formulate a sarcastic reply.

    I've got no problem with people who like him solely for his political utility. You can do that while acknowledging he is a serial liar. Voting for him because you think he is a useful idiot is probably the best reason to vote for the dolt.

    Lol, adorable. I don't watch any late night talk shows. I was commenting on the excuses being offered in this thread. Your compulsion to dodge with childish chides instead of addressing the comment directly says it all, unfortunately.

    You are talking to someone who is addressing him from the economic right. Hell, I pointed out when he was running that he was relying solely on leftist economic sources.
