Where is/can Donald Trump take US (sic)?

It would be interesting to know how much Trump and his immediate family would personally gain in $$ terms, should this policy be implemented.

He would be trying to get investors to start spending in the US.

Don't know about this new proposal but heard that his family got about $1.5B from last year's $1.5T tax cuts.

but that's over 10 years so it's nothing really. What's important to the donald is american greatness 'cause he doesn't need the money. I guess it just kinda fall into him because he's awesome.

His daughter and peace envoy son in law also pocketed about $100M last year from their business ventures.

Some people have lots of talent man. Solving the Middle East peace crisis, advising the president of the united states... and still have time to earn that stash.

Might end up in prison though. But then that's what presidential pardon is for.

Thai population ain't that friendly with the Chinese. Chinese have been spending up big in Thailand though.
Thais are more patriotic then Americans. They won't bow.

Nobody bow to anybody. But that's what big guns are for.

Well, there's a few Muslims in that area so.. you know how Muslims are. Always picking fights and terrorising people... what else can Beijing do but send in a few battalion to keep the peace.

No he doesn't.

For the well to do, the whole world's a market place.

The tax cuts will just fuel the financial markets, makes "everybody" rich... except those who didn't invest in stocks, didn't get the tax cuts, poor or young or old or sick. Beside those, everybody's doing great.

You definitely don't know thais
They love biting off more than they can chew.

I'm not up to speed on the tax cut, but generally they want to attract investment back into the US when dishing out such cuts.
I'd like to see the reasoning for it beyond "Trump is benefiting". Not saying that isn't the reason, but like to see why they threw it on the table.

It's going to be an interesting century that's for sure.

US Secretary of State, Tony Saprano, just announced some plan he has for the Asia-Pacific-Indo region.

The last every time some white guys have plans for a place, they all ended up.. well, not well.

Trump, like public servants, serves the business and monied elite.

It is only through having the rich getting richer that the poor will be better of. It's like me wanting to give you money... I'd have to give to myself and all my friends first... and through them having money you too can have money, maybe. Let's try it a few more times to make it it didn't fail because we didn't try hard enough.

Where was I? Oh yea... Trump getting a few bucks is just Trump learning from the comrades in Beijing. Unlike Bush or Obama, Trump got a few corporations and children of directorship age. That mean you can pay him through his kids instead of only through some book deals and invitations to fancy parties and a few cruises to your islands,

There are many ways to do that without gifting $100 billion to a handful of uber-wealthy individuals.

The difference between US and Australian politics at the moment is stark. They might get through a policy which overwhelmingly benefits the top 0.10%.

Yet over here Malcolm is struggling with tax cuts which cuts rates for taxpayers and companies at all income levels, merely because higher income earners also derive some benefit.

Because in America the turkeys have been voting for Christmas for decades. They've run down education to the point that you can tell the GOP base virtually anything and they'll believe it to be in their interests as long as you fear God and love guns. The system is the US is so entrenched against the poor and increasingly against the cratering middle class. It's literally killing millions of Americans.


That Trump tax cut is farcical, CG is already taxed at a reduced rate, and clearly being pushed through by the GOP because they have a strong feeling they will lose the house in November.

Oh yeah, and the CPI is a great measure of the cost of living pressures for a billionaire.

They'll get it through. Giving tax cuts and military spending will always get through.

In his first military budget, Trump proposes something like $600B. Both the republican and democrats thought... what! That's too little. We need another $70B.

Seriously. Not making that up.

But when it comes to fixing their contaminated water system, funding public schools so that kids don't freeze in class - or just not have fungus growing on the ceiling... how are we going to pay for that?

IIRC, this is precisely the thinking that caused Hillary to have her 4ss handed to her.

Honestly with the Dem focus on "socialism", identity and gender politics above all else, it's drawing a bloody long bow to slag off one side of the voter base, not to mention, stupidly inaccurate.

Rhetorical hyperbole is one thing, but one shouldnt purport that as fact.

Fear God...

Love guns...

WHile this happens

You think it's just coincidence that the GOP increasingly skews so strongly to those two groups?

And as for the US education system, there are piles of research about what a disaster it is. The poor never get to college and the middle class are getting killed with student loans and low paying jobs.

 

[wayneL]

Great. I'm joining a church, not because I fear God, but as identitarian warfare.

I'm fixin' to get offended.

Ready for Trump term 2?

Huh?

I have no idea what this rambling rubbish means.

That makes two of us.

I just want to defend my culture against the regressive left and alien instruments thereof.

You'll understand once the s4it hits the fan.

OK mate. Have fun with that.

 

[wayneL]

You don't think our culture is worth defending?

 

[McLovin]

You don't think our culture is worth defending?

That's an odd supposition.

 

[wayneL]

Not really mate

Because, it will need defending at some point in the future, probably sooner rather than later.
