We are the laughing stock of the world, it's true, for one reason and one reason only....
Wow, putting big lips on the president. Didn't see that coming.

Trump has this all figured out. He's holding all the cards, and the Republicans know it. He's doing this like a clever business deal. The Republicans are outclassed. They could save time, energy and a lot of people a lot of money they're going to waste, and just declare Trump the nominee right now. Then they could all put their money and energies into slamming Hillary and Bernie.No, Trump is a laughing stock.
This treat is from 2013. He has been holding back for a long time. Looks like Trump is cashing in and collecting royalties from his reruns.Trump has this all figured out.

And? Trump is a political moron. If I wanted real estate advice, his word would be gold (literally) but his expertise in making money off real estate has no connection with running the nation or the insanity that he brings to that table. If I want advice in political matters I am as likely to listen to Trump as I am the local grocery store clerk.
I think you are being generous to Trump. He started out by inheriting millions, and his father's real estate company. Trump's personal life is a mess. Trump is an egotist, and a know-it-all. He is like Mitt Romney, he thinks he hit a home run, but he started out life on third base. Donald Trump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because someone inherent money that diminishes diminish what he has accomplished? Interesting logic, especially when one builds a sucessful mortgage firm, a business school and a holdings company.
If I had a choice between who I'd let manage my money, it certainly wouldn't be pinhead in the White House or the three ring circus that is Congress.
There is nothing to debate here. You come from affluence you go to better schools, and have the benefit of more resources. While I had a 1969 classic GTO at 16, the real pleasure was the four years my dad and I spent restoring it together. Money is a stress remover, and allows more time to pursue interests rather than deal with the struggle of survival. My dad was a VP of a major airline, we traveled everywhere. We study the American Revolution in school, and we flew to Philadelphia to see Independence Hall. You stand five feet from where Thomas Jefferson sat, and you real appreciate American history.
At the same time as my neighbor said, "It does not matter how you get the job, it is what you do with it when you get it." That neighbor was a VP of a national advertising agency, his letter of recommendation opened a lot of doors that led to employment.
My grandfather ran the family with the view that "Success is expected, not desired." There was a lot of pressure the way I grew up. I survived because I did not give a damn. I knew I would inherit more money than I could ever spend. I did not care if I had a big home or a small one, as long as it was near the beach!
I am satisfied with my slot on the food chain. I think I have done well because while I was raised with a strong work ethic, but I perform best today based upon the leisure ethic. My boss knows how to motivate me. I don't want his job, a bigger title, or more money. I want time off. I'll work hard today to take tomorrow off. As a result my work is usually turned in early. My boss can count on my loyalty and efficiency.

American's complain like hell, but look who has the biggest piece of the pie!
Hi Scotty! Still adorable.You don't need my post, Sarah G is summing up my thoughts quite articulately.
Okay... Because there are alot of wealthy individuals in the US, that means that Donald Trump success is not valid...
I get it now.
He got his money from his father.
He has been losing it in various bad business deals and one bankruptcy after another ever since.
Its not that Trump is successful. Its that daddy left him one helluva huge pile of dough and he hasn't managed to throw it all away yet.
Show me an investor who has never missed his or her benchmark and I'll show you someone who has a net worth in denominations I can't say. In other words, this particular type of investor does not exist.
All investors have shorts and longs which do not pan out. He hasn't lost all of his money because he is simply better at closing his positions when necessary.
I'd call it a new low for USMB when someone would actually defend America's spoiled child. For the last time, Donald Trump started life out on third base, and thinks he had a home run. Only a fool could start out with $200,000,000 and lose it. He'd have been better off if he had just bought CDs.
He is correct for once
Any country that can have Trump as a leading candidate for president is a laughing stock
Objectively?He is correct for once

That ship sailed when we impeached a POTUS for a blow job.
Then it sailed again when we invaded a country that had nothing to do with attacking us, although that one wasn't so funny.
I suspect by now the world is used to regarding us as a nation of superficial self-absorbed clowns. After all we've earned it.
The US wields the greatest influence and most power of any nation on the planet. That is a fact.

America's GDP continues to rise despite falling wages and stagnating jobs. How can that be? What are we missing?
What no one is discussing is the massive number of human workers being replaced every year, in every sector of the economy. THIS is why our national productivity is rising and will continue to rise, as more and more robots replace human workers... and this is why pure capitalism will stop working for anyone who doesn't own the means of production. There will soon be NO jobs that require human workers, except for a very few scientists, engineers, and educators. Most of the jobs in this or any society can be done by sufficiently advanced robots.
Whose jobs are going next? My prediction is that cab drivers and long haul truckers will be replaced as soon as insurance companies have gathered enough actuarial data to prove that self-driving cars and trucks are safer.
If we want to save our economy and our nation, we need to find a way to TAX THESE WORKERS:
