Trump tells voters not to hand Congress to Dems: They will 'totally kill the great wealth' I create

Source: RawStory

President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested that he was concerned that Democrats could take control of Congress and “totally kill” the “great wealth” that his administration has taken credit for creating during its first year.

In a series of tweets, the president seemed to be responding to reports that Democrats have a decent chance to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections.






As The Washington Post recently noted, “the Dow actually did better” during President Barack Obama’s first year in office than it has done under Trump.

the worldwide trend. It is interesting that there was a trend from mid 2011 until early 2017, under Obama where we increased our share by doing better than the international average.

The international markets obviously lagged the US in recovering from the market crash and - even with the high numbers that Trump tweets out the US missed part of the world wide gain.

from the middle class and poor to the rich.

Nothing was created by this bill and nothing will be other than millions more homeless and dying due to lack of healthcare.

I just want to live long enough to see the light go off over the head of the deplorables when they realize they are fucked, completely fucked.

It really comes down to how one wants to redistribute wealth. Upwards or downwards? Arguably, the people at the bottom need it more.

Can't allow those "other" people to rule because they'll steal your money. Even if they get more votes we should somehow delegitimize and demonize them because they probably cheated.

So as people see how little their pay check still is even with all the promised tax cuts they already know who to blame, it is the Democrats fault according to their supreme leader.

Only way Democrats can screw 2018 up is of they start talking. Let tRump and the GOP hang themselves so we all start to heal some...

16% annual average returns under Dem administrations, -0.2% under Rep administrations.

Add to that the fact that the great wealth of the past year is a continuation of the great wealth of the previous 7 years.

I can't wait for the day this asshat takes credit for the sun rising in the east on a regular basis. Sad thing is that many of his supporters will say "he's right - I was never sure before but not that he's in charge, I'm sure it's going to rise in the east".

What asshats.

Why do we so easily accept the fact that this man has summarily dismissed 2/3 of the American population that do not ascribe to his politics? How is it that a President is allowed to campaign every day of the year after his malignant ascension to the presidency? We aren't being governed; we're being persuaded, poorly.

The President is the putative leader of the American people. Instead, I feel like we are led by a cancerous infestation of FOX incarnate.

After a year of this shit, it's become normalized. And therein lies the danger.

Read the bit on relations with the media under the character and attitudes heading and watch this video. Australians, and Queenslanders, saw this for years on end. Trump is ‘feeding the chooks’ and people are getting hung up on the daily verbal effluvia he belches every day. Not to say people haven’t been fighting his policies but by the time 15 different loads of rubbish have been responded to, the energy required for the real battles has been reduced.
