    If you see the truth, you will realize - Trump tells the truth. And it is clear to everyone who has a brain. The US economy is on the verge of collapse. Paper economy. Paper tiger.

    What do you think about it?

    Is it fair to ask how Trump's personal net worth has benefited from the recent bubble?
    "Citing interviews with more than 80 sources and 'devoting unprecedented resources to valuing a single fortune,' Forbes said in an article published Tuesday and appearing in its Oct. 19 issue that Trump's net worth stands at $4.5 billion. In July, Trump put out a press release claiming that his net worth is 'in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS.' (The all-caps was in the original.)"

    Speech not about how rich Trump. he can be an honest businessman or a crook. It does not matter. What is important is that he has sounded - the US economy is on the brink of collapse.

    Obviously.
    How much of the blame for the next economic collapse does Trump and his economic class deserve?

    Smart people have long noticed - each nation has the government, it deserves.
    For example, Obama. He does not appear from space. Is not it? Americans voted for him. With that - twice. Who makes the laws favorable to the oligarchs? Congressmen. Who voted for them?... So I think that the blame should first of all - itself.

    Besides. Many people have lost the ability to think. People become biomass, which is easy to control.

    Video - shaped example of Western society.

    That doesn't change the fact that whoever comes after Obama will have to spend hell of a lot of time to fix the economy and the damage Bobo left behind. When Bobo leaves the office the debt will be around 22 trillion USD.

    There is always money for war, so, plenty of money has to be hidden somewhere.

    Since the economy is too much of a problem for Trump, perhaps he should drop out of the Presidential race.

    If Obama leaves office, it will only be because he takes power over the U.N. after selling America out to it. Other than that there will be no more American president's. Read the Affordable Care Act. It is not healthcare for America. It is global healthcare. And it's right there for everybody to see. I guess people are blind.

    I think you've got stones the size of Pluto to actually post a story that would make Donald look like a weak, pathetic punk with no stomach to deal with America's problems. (which is the image this story paints)

    I don't seem to remember Barrack Obama running from a bad economy or saying that he wouldn't want to deal with it.

    Hell, I don't ever remember a presidential candidate running away from any of the things Donald always seems to be running away from these days.

    He won't do debates on certain networks unless they give him A, B, C (bully much)

    He won't do certain debates if A, B, C moderator will be included in the line up.

    He won't be seen on stage with A, B, C.....

    And all he seems to be interested in or brag about is how - if he's not included in something then the ratings won't be high or the networks won't make money.

    But all of this is ok with you???

    This is what you look for from the "possible" next leader of the free world.

    These are the things "most important" to you?

    You know usually this is where I would say (Wow, just Wow)....but I can't even muster that this evening because honestly there are no words for this level of disgrace or ineptitude from a presidential candidate.

    I agree with Trump about the problem, but his solutions will only keep this going. The problem with our economy is the system, not a certain policy.

    Of course he is right. These bubbles are the creation of the dismantling of the FDR model. For we saw a bubble in the 1920s and it burst, creating the great depression. It took a progressive to take the power back from the rich elites, regulated the banks, and address the disparity in income. This saw the creation of a very powerful America, the creation of the largest middle class in the history of this old world, but it took only 50 years for the elites to get men back into power again, that would dismantle what was hurting their maxing out their own profits. This happened in 1981, and Reagan brought back what failed in the 20s, and what FDR fixed.

    GOP idiotic neoliberalism, embraced by Clinton, which changed the democratic party from a party that represented working and middle class people to one like the GOP that only represented the interests of their rich donors has given us the America you see today.

    The good news is, we still remember what FDR did, and we can do it again, and perhaps this time, relegate neoliberalism from the GOP to the dustbin of history, and not developing amnesia this time of what neoliberals did to us in the 1920s, ending up with the crash of 29. Perhaps the internet will keep this amnesia from happening again and we will not allow the GOP to con working americans again into cutting their own throats.

    It has taken 16 years to destroy the foundation of our economy, how many years did it take to build it? Any President would have a tough time trying to fix it, the question is do they really want to?

    There certainly has been a lot of talk about it from economists. Our debt situation is not good and our currency may be overvalued. One voice of reason is that of Peter Schiff, who generally seems to have a very good understanding of what's going on.

    Pretty funny when a Russian apologist is critical of the US economy.

    - - - Updated - - -

    BTW, Trump doesn't know his arse from his elbow about national economics.

    You are very well-written "free world" in quotes. Because the call "free world" fascist regime in the US - this is an obvious irony.
    Even more, the country where detainees were Prisoners are in prison without charge or trial, where the total surveillance for its citizens (as well as there is a total surveillance of the heads of friendly states), where the police killed because of the color of the skin, called "free world" - it is not even irony. This mockery and ridicule. Therefore, the right to write in quotes.

    If we talk about Obama or Trump - every nation deserves the government that he has. Is not it?

    When I see the "bully" reference, I suspect a person that's been influenced by the anti-Trump media. You see, "bully" is one of those politically correct words or notions that invoke an emotional reaction. We need to think logically, not emotionally.

    Trump is a LEADER and the first and only candidate to draw so much attention to the extreme bias of the media and their lies and dishonesty. Anyone who thinks Trump is running away from debates or that he's thin-skinned has been fooled by the anti-Trump media. See, Trump is a true leader that does not allow the media to control him. He leads them, they don't control him. However, nobody has complete control, so each side tries to manipulate things for their own purpose. Each side makes mistake along the way.

    I believe the American people are waking up to or just fed up with all the lies, dishonesty, extreme bias, and manipulation of the media, that anytime Trump stands up to them or points out their dishonesty, he gains in popularity and rises in the polls.

    Whereas all the other candidates cower down to the media, and constantly apologize for not being politically correct, and the American people hate that. These are not leaders, they are politically correct politicians and the American people that are NOT SHEEPLE can see it.

    Dude, you gotta wake up. Stop letting the media control your thoughts.
    Sure, I see various faults with Trump, but right now he's the best we got.
    My perfect candidate would have the leadership skills of Trump and
    the ideals of Ron & Rand Paul.
