    OBAMAZ CUMMIN FER YER GUNZ!!! BUY MOAR!!! was probably the greatest marketing gimmick in the history of the firearm industry.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that the gun industry donated heavily to the Hillary Clinton campaign in order to keep the profitable fearmongering momentum going.

    HILLAREEZ CUMMIN FER YER GUNZ!!! BUY MOAR!!!

    If Trump wants to help out the firearm industry, he should tweet he is thinking about an Assault Weapons Ban.

    After all, he said this in his book: “I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s internet technology we should be able to tell within 72 hours if a potential gun owner has a record.”

    Amazon laid off people too. Let's see if the rabid ideologues of the Always Trump brigade are willing to claim this loss as his, given how much they are wiping cheeto grease off their lips over the stock market.

    White collar americans making out like crooks while blue collar americans are laid off in droves.

    WINNING.

    Trump bragged about saving all those Carrier jobs. Now he's falling on his face.

    The Trump legal defense team is the fastest growing jobs sector in our economy.

    Do you still desire to be watched by Trump while you give him the finger(s)?

    LOL ... got that right, G

    Buying Smith & Wesson stock during the Obama years was like having your own personal money printing machine.

    Literally some of the easiest dough I ever made in my life.

    Don't think I ever formally thanked all the right-wing simpletons (a.k.a. Pavlov's Dogs) who raced to the local gun store to load up on firearms and ammo soon after the election in '08, and again in '12.

    So a BIG THANK YOU, right-wing simpletons for helping to make the Junkie a fabulously wealthy man... :machinegun:8)

    jobs are going overseas, the Trump mega tax cuts for the corps will not stop that

    Trump needs to address foreign outsourcing and foreign imports

    I would love to see some support for that assertion - I thought nearly all the gun companies did very well in the wake of the mass shootings.

    Remington hasn't been putting out quality the last decade or so.

    Lots of job losses at quite a few companies. Will Donnie take the blame like he took the credit for Carrier?

    And this is where you tossed your case out the Window. Some of those you listed may be legit, but Sears has been dying for years. The fact they still have that many workers to lay off is the surprise here.

    That may be, but you had to know where Sears was when you added it to your list....

    Just shows your dishonesty Sears has been dying for years. Has 0 to do with Trump. Almost makes me a little curious to look deeper into the other ones you listed too.

    Almost.

    Carrier has been dying, and Trump took credit for their jobs.

    Live by the sword, die by the sword.

    Doesn't it suck to have the same benchmarks bitch slap you in the face? :lol:
