Could A Slipping Economy Be Trump’s Downfall? | Deadline | MSNBC

    1. @Joy Phillips Where are you finding that? The Mueller Report, the DOJ, and Mueller Testimony a month or so back confirmed that the only reason Trump isn’t currently indicted, is due to a DOJ memo on not indicting a sitting President. During that same testimony, Mueller confirmed that Trump can be indicted for the Obstruction of Justice, the moment he’s out of office.

      The thing you should be asking yourself at this point in History, is how you will explain to your children and grandchildren, why you stood with Trump against America, why you were on the wrong side of History. I feel for you, Nazi’s went through the same thing 70ish years ago.

    2. @Joy Phillips But what are YOU doing about the TRUTH ? The consequences of your Trump experiment will be shared by ALL Americans, including you. Do you not realize that yet ? Then wait a little longer. Time will tell.

    1. That is so true! Obama’s economist pulled us out of a GOP recession. Now that trump undid regulations and safeguards for the consumers, Americans are in danger of recession. Save your money. Put it in the American bond market. Good luck everyone.

    1. @lllHyPhEnlll Dems will fix things again. just like Obama had to do after Bush, …. time to vote BLUE again and make America great, again.

  1. *Recession? Well now we know that Little Donny Fail-Fail has run President Obama’s good economy into the ground.*
    *Everything that Diaper Don touches turns to s**t.*

    1. @Joy Phillips and to add to james comment the “the solar energy” was just a very small loan out of a program that has actually earned taxpayers a $5Billion profit… federal funds that didn’t need to come from taxes.. you have fallen for the fake news scam joy…. its not too late to save yourself all you have to do is use google to find out the real facts of things….

    2. @James Hughes If you mean ” downsizing” which resulted in the lack of jobs, then yes.. But It killed the local economies which further drove the recession… and you forget that the automanufacturers sold/ phased out parts of their cars to keep them afloat.

      In other words, Obama didn’t do anything special… its not like he provided new opportunities for the auto makers.

    3. @meh757 Actually the solar energy didn’t do anything… As an electrical engineer, I found that out first hand…. You have fallen for the biggest scam… google it yourself… Remember the Solyndra scandal?

  2. When lying, race baiting and xenophobia are your best political lifelines, you’re LOSING.

    Quote of the year. 👍

    1. That’s what Republicans are good at. Project that the other side are racebaiting, when they are the master racebaiters, xenophobia, scapegoating, when they can’t talk economy because that’s their weakside. Vote EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN OUT 2020! VOTE BLUE 2020!

    2. @N.G.H. Calmarena Way back in the late 60s, while the Vietnam war was raging, there was a popular car sticker saying ‘My Country, Right or Wrong’. To me it meant that respect for the US flag and the office of the president outweighed any doubts that the US, or the president, was really heading in the wrong direction. So many people believe, deep in their hearts, that because Trump is president, he is infallible. Kind of a Papal thing. Absolute (brainwashed ) belief that THE PRESIDENT will save them, even if he’s actually a pig of a man.

  3. Hes now saying the economy has “never been better” how delusional is this man and the people that believe him?

    1. Realous B
      OMG thank you for saying that! It shows you are a person of character. I wish good fortune for you and yours! 🤗

    2. @Realous B The majority of 401K’S cannot be sold in this market, without penalties and interest, which gobble up any gains. Meanwhile, CEOs have bought back a trillion dollars of their own stock, giving companies unrealistic value. I remember 2006 and 2007 all too well.

    3. @R. B.L. Trump’s 2020 budget, cuts government pensions. The little guys, like the mailman. They’ll cut health insurance too. They’ll squeeze every penny out of them. Then they’ll go for S.S. and Medicare. All of these things have been bought and paid for, by workers.

  4. Bankrupt springs to mind .. he’s the bestest in the world at that 5 times so far looks like 6 in the near future 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5. Took Bush Jr 7 years to destroy a good economy bill left him. Trump will destroy a good Obama economy in 2 and a half years.

    1. @deadly shotta Don brags about all the deregulation and I’m not sure people understand the devastating effects this has on air, water, and life savings. Deregulation is only good for billionaires. Farmers may begin to go blue, as this administration only caters to the biggest corporations. I wonder how much public land has been sold off?

    2. @wiser3754 Never, never ever, should or would we be running trillion dollar deficits, every year, in a good economy. The good economy story is pretty much fake news.

    3. @Joy Phillips oh you are totally delusional … please seek some help so you understand things a little better.

  6. “Your gonna get tired of losing,losing, & losing” .Your gonna get tired of the lies, lies & more lies”. Lol!! King of the clowns.

    1. Are you tired yet? Because you still have no proof even with all your ” testimonies” to Congress.

    2. 800 points down in the stock market, farmers on welfare, shooters killing innocent people stating djt’s exact words of bigotry…shall I continue?

    3. @irene gewinner The result is that China is bleeding money right now, because Trump is taking back what belongs to us…. All who invested in China was screwed…

    1. @FanofJesus You trumpFLAKES have not won a single thing however everyone else now knows you’re a bunch of crazy racists.

    2. @Maharajji NKB NEWSFLASH: No one has to hate trump to see what a complete and utter failure he is. It doesn’t take a genius to see it and the fact the deplorables don’t see it says all there needs to be said about a trumpette

    3. meh757 And you’re quoting a Little Adam Schitt tweet LOL ‘12,000’ – he counted them!:) Do you wonder what happened with Adam at The Standard Hotel? Do you already know?

  7. This is what happens when you elect the king of bankruptcy!!!! He does not know what he is doing. He will just shrug and walk away. Thanks for nothing MAGA FREAKS!!!!

    1. kvdgadj Hm. So how would you explain his wife? His daughters? His daughter-in-Law? Sarah Sanders? Kelly Ann Conway? Etc., etc. Hm.

    2. @FanofJesus public opinion and the need to appear as if he is a man! Don’t be obtuce & get your nose out of dmpfs @$$!!

  8. Good economy? Humhum, the Mr. 45 stable genius has strike again!!! C’mon Congress, IMPEACH him WTF are you waiting for?

  9. “Trump recession”
    “Moscow Mitch”

    It’s about time! It only took 3 years of total incompetence and pure evil…
