Trump at Economic Club of Chicago

[Fang]

I'm sitting here watching Donald Trump take UNSCRIPTED questions at the Economic Club Of Chicago. It's a wide range of topics with very direct questions from a host who clearly isn't pro-Trump. All I can think is this... You might disagree with Trump on tariffs and his ideas on how to revive the economy, but the point is Trump is able to have an intelligent conversation and can debate all topics related to the economy. He is light years ahead of Kamala on all the topics with a lifetime of experience. All Kamala has is "Aspirations", "Ambitions" and "Dreams". The same BS over and over.

Anyone really paying attention and wanting the best for America can't possibly cast a vote for Kamala.

TRUMP/VANCE 2024!!!

All Kamala has is "Aspirations", "Ambitions" and "Dreams". The same BS over and over.

Emotional bloviation concocted by some Hollywood producer to package her into a sellable product blowing her hole about vagarities where the listener must fill in the blanks about what she is talking about with their own imagination and assumptions.

Democrats keep voting their "dreams" every four years--- decades later, all they've ever been handed by their party are nightmares.

I'm watching this, and here's my takeaway.

Trump doesn't understand how tariffs work.

He spent most of the time diverting to his personal grievances, including attacking the person questioning him.

He rarely gave straightforward answers to questions.

He looked physically unwell. Or at least his makeup looked like shit.

She probably has a nice lawn and is unburdened by what has been.

Trump schooled John Micklethwait on the tariffs topic. Trump had examples and explained his thoughts on the economy quite clearly. No one could have watched that interview and thought Kamala is even remotely close to Trump in his knowledge and experience.

Yeah he sounded like a real frickin' idiot. An old, dying man whose brain is gone.

Are you ******* kidding? Trump showed he has no idea how Tariffs work at all.

The other interesting moment was after he pretty much admitted he violated the Logan Act and talked to his lord and master, Putin, he stated that the US and Russia have 2000 nukes each and China would catch up in five years.

The actual number is 5000 each. China has 450 and is nowhere near catching up (Or even seems to be working on doing so.)

Interesting that the OP says “you can disagree on his policies “ as if that is of no consequence, but what matters is that he’s not a complete blithering idiot…

The problem there is beyond the fact that his policies would be bad for the country ( Wall Street Journal wrote an oped where 50 economists noted that they would increase both unemployment AND inflation) but that he IS a blithering idiot.

It takes him four tries to properly pronounce the word Arizona

He does a Town Hall where he’s just STOPS taking questions and spend FORTY minutes swaying to his favorite hits..

Does a Bloomberg interview where he says stupid shit like “my favorite word in the dictionary is tarriffs”



Clearly he’s gone.

Gawd, that was brutal.

He is intellectually and temperamentally incapable of providing a clear answer to a direct question.

He can only "weave", because he can't focus like a normal, intelligent adult.

Trump gave examples of his prior experience in the vein of the initial question before answering or not answering the question.
His examples of dealing with Macron, Merkle, Abe, Mexico, China, and the EU were very powerful.
He credited Lightheizer for following thru on his tariffs.

One "dodge" I noticed was when asked what will Musk cut from the Federal government. He did not answer. But that will be the key to Trump's success or failure. If Trump's tax cuts will add to the Debt, but cutting the Budget saves money, how that balances will determine the fate of the dollar. I'm betting on Musk. Trump said he is VERY anxious to get started, that is a very good sign for Trump and the USA.

1. Trump knows tariffs. That's why Biden kept most of them on.

2. Logan Act
"The Logan Act is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position." (Trump was not negotiating a dispute, duh)

3. We'll see how well Kamala does with Brett Baier at 6pm tonight. Should be an interesting 30-minutes.

It's clear when it comes go the economy and other issues Donald Trump is playing a master class in chess while Kamala Harris is playing connect the dots for 2 year olds.

"It must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that you’re totally wrong....... The higher the tariff, the more likely it is that the company will come into the United States and build a factory in the United States so it doesn't have to pay the tariff," Trump explained.

 

[Lesh]

Master class in chess

Do you think he has a clue as to how to play chess?

The stark contrast between Trump and Harris has become so obvious.

Trump goes into the Lion's Den and hotly debates specific points about the economy. He even gave an example where he said Mexico stopped building a large car factory due to Trump possibly winning the election. Mexico doesn't want to deal with the tariffs. The result? If Trump wins that car factory will be built in Detroit.

On the other hand Kamala is having beers with Colbert and talking to far left washed up shock jock Howard Stern. She repeats the same "Ambitions", "Aspirations" and "Dream" BS over snd over and in unable to articulate anything about her plan.

The choice is clear and Donald Trump is it.

TRUMP/VANCE 2024!!!

You honestly watched that and thought he engaged in an intelligent discussion?? He took one of Kamala's word salads and made an all you can eat buffet out of it

The same people are the ones who said the trade deals would be great. China would become a freer nation. They lied or are stupid. We have made China superpower. And it is costing us.

We? You mean corporations…

 

[22lcidw]

We? You mean corporations…

The politicians voted for the legislation. The economists said it was a good thing. Trump putting tariffs on and making taxes reasonable means the corporations can come home. Lost in all of this, we were not built on high taxes in this nation. Foundation was built before that.

 

[Zincwarrior]

He was terrible. Its clear he has no clue about basic economics.
