ORIGINAL: vincentML If Trump survives the four years he will be noted in History as the president who destroyed this great nation... PAST hysterical howler prophesies about this president: Turns out Trump didn’t ruin America’s economy Foreign tourism to New York City is set to rise 3.6 percent this year — defying yet another of the many doomsday predictions about Donald Trump’s presidency. Back in February, the city tourism agency said Trump’s “travel ban and related rhetoric” would mean a drop of 300,000 visitors this year. But the NYC & Co. prophecy proved false. Of course, other predictions were more dire — particularly those about the stock market. Finance expert Steve Rattner foresaw “a market crash of historic proportions” under a President Trump. Moody’s warned of a “weaker” economy. Many said 2 percent GDP growth was the best that could be hoped for. Other doomsayers included Mark Cuban, CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin and firms such as Bridgewater Associates and Macroeconomic Advisers. (A less-dishonorable mention goes to Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman, who at least walked back his doomsaying about “a global recession, with no end in sight,” soon after election night.) In fact, the Dow has climbed more than 25 percent since Hillary Clinton conceded. And the first two full quarters of Trump’s term both saw growth of 3 percent or more. Oops. More recently, Trump’s cutbacks of money to help folks sign up for ObamaCare brought warnings that enrollment would surely plummet. Hah! Over the first few days of open enrollment this year, a record number of people signed up, The Hill reported Tuesday. The first day alone saw 200,000 sign-ups, twice last year’s number, and more than 1 million visited healthcare.gov, versus 750,000 in 2016. As for all the noise about fascism and tyranny: Trump has scrupulously obeyed the law, even as judges came up with unprecedented legal theories to strike down his “travel ban” executive orders. None of this guarantees that the markets won’t turn south eventually, or that ObamaCare won’t run into the rocks. But it does tell you that talk of Trump-fueled armageddon is partisan hysteria, unhinged from reality. http://nypost.com/2017/11/11/turns-out-trump-didnt-ruin-americas-economy/ So, once again the shallow child has no opinion of his own then? Meh! The American economy rises on the tail of Obama's steady leadership and the know-nothing man-child crows and boasts of one quarter growth above 3%. Such nonsense. How will the R's cover the $1.3T deficit created by the wealth shift to the already filthy rich? By chopping your grandma's welfare benefits is how. Poor old slag. How you gonna explain that to her? Get her a job driving for Uber? And let us not be surprised by the tourism increase to New York City ~ that wonderful, socialist town, where the Bronx is up and the Battery's down. Everybody want's to see Broadway, the Great White Way, where the lights are always welcoming. 24/7. Obamacare enrollment has risen despite Trump's declared intention to starve the program financially . .a middle finger directly into the orange face of his feeble threat. Fascism? Das Trumpster himself was disappointed at how limited his powers are in a rule of law government. Poor baby. The worst he could do was fail to refill slots. Bad enough but easy to overcome in the next Dem Administration. What will happen to the Dow when the anticipated highway robbery fails? You could figure that one if you had half a functioning brain. The Republican's can't govern without their burglars' kits and masks, can they? No, it seems they cannot. And as an aside I ask again what has happened to morality and Christian values these last forty years that the charismatic groaners have usurped God's Church? Where have they gone to? The commandments of Jesus to feed the poor and welcome the stranger in from the cold night? The politicized church is an abomination. Please do try to reply with some originality.
