Just how dumb is Donald Trump?
I think some's fears that he would make a gun grab and align with the liberal / socialist / communist / democrats at the first drop of a hat can now be put to rest.
What do you want me to add that I left out of the poll?
-
How about an all of the above?
-
He cut aid to Pakistan and is applying that toward building a wall.
Cut funding of the UN
Slowed illegal crossings to a 45 year low
Melania cut the First Ladies staffing from Mookies 16 people making $1.24 M to 4 people making $486K.

So dumb, he makes Obama look like Forrest Gump.

He has done more for this country than Obama, Bush and Clinton did together. I am truly impressed. Most politicians cry that something must be done about this or that for the last 50 years. He walks in like a boss and fixed most of those problems in one year. He proved that the rinos and democrats have been robbing the tax payers for 50 years. He proved that ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and the rest of the Democrat propaganda ministry has been lying to us for years.

Well said!

The simple fact that me made liberals squeal like a stuck pig at his election was enough, everything else is just gravy

What you don't realize about all this phenomenal economic growth is that the higher it builds, sooner or later Trump won't be doing all the right things. and a liberal pres. will again put in liberal policies and it wiil all come crashing down...the higher Trump builds it,. the greater the crash...and it's all Trumps fault..he is setting us up for this huge crash.

Let it crash baby. Way high crash.

I think the only "crash" you may see in the not too distant future, is going to be in the residential real estate market. The reason is because the banks and lending institutions are all going right back to what they were doing, that caused the nationwide 2008 crash.
They're right back at loaning money to people who have little to nothing invested in their homes. No, "skin in the game", so to speak. Within 2 blocks of me 3 homes have sold above $200K in the last year. The first sold with no money down. The second sold with just $2,500.00 down. The last one sold just a couple months ago for $220,000.00 with only $3,800.00 down.
So once again this is becoming the rule, rather than the exception. None of these idiots have learned their lesson. If the real estate market drops just 2%, all of these people will have had their down payments wiped out. And will all owe more than their property is worth. That is exactly what triggered the last crash, sending prices plummeting, and throwing much of the market into foreclosure. As people abandoned their homes, because they could not make the payments when their adjustable rate mortgages they had ballooned. And no bank would refinance them by writing a note on a property that was underwater for over double what it was actually worth on the open market.
California is the absolute worst, or best example of this. You've got 60+ year old, frame and stucco 1,200 sq. ft. 1 bath houses selling for close to, if not over $500,000.00 in some areas of Los Angeles. And the good paying jobs are all drying up left and right. As companies are fleeing southern California, because of run away operating and labor cost, taxes, and regulation. There is nothing to support that high of an inflated real estate market. Look for an economic disaster to happen in California real soon. Prices are going through the roof. Jobs are drying up. And the state is awash with government dependent illegals and crime. All coupled with an out of control, liberal socialist government that supports all of it. Or is going broke trying to. If that isn't a recipe for an economic crash, I don't know what is.

Yes California, especial SF valley area are absolutely horrendous. But not just the cities. I was watching the news about the new pot laws and someplace in the the desert they were bemoaning the outrageous increase in land costs. The mayor of the small town was saying prices have sky rocketed from a mere $600,000/acre to over a $1,000,000. For flat, sandy desert land!!! A mere $600k?

I may very well be mistaken but I think my friend said wooded property in the middle of Michigan where his cabin is was $20,000 an acre. Or perhaps a fraction of one. Whatever it was, I'd rather have a huge amount of property in the middle of nowhere than a single acre in the middle of nowhere.
