Just because someone was a business man, doesn't mean that they understand how to run a country. There is a huge difference between the two.
My portfolio growth and tax returns say differently
Wait awhile. Neither of those things will look quite as good should Trump move forward with his trade wars. He first talked about tariffs on China of around 100 Billion, then it went to 220 Billion and now he's throwing around the idea of half a trillion. And, if he thinks he got away with that, he'll undoubtedly do similar shit with our other trading partners.
He's not thinking about the ramifications of all that to the working man. He's just delighted to play his usual moronic bully role. If he does all that, goods that we working people depend on to control our individual household budgets will cost a damn sight more, Tariffs are by their very nature, inflationary. Huge tariffs will accelerate that inflation.
It will cause your portfolio, (I'm glad you have one, not everybody does) to shrink and the giant giveaway to themselves will and are causing budget shortfalls that have to be made up. Guess who that burden falls on.
Trump doesn't give one microfuck how his bullshit effects the middle class and poor. He never has and never will have empathy. It's all about his throwing his fat ass weight around and tooting his own horn. Haven't you noticed that he cares about The Donald above all else?
He's reckless, clueless and I believe he's about two cookies short of a Happy Meal. And if you or someone you care about is approaching retirement, watch how Trump and the GOP goes about tearing apart the social safety net to pay for his money grab. You'll see. It's simply a matter of time.
