What do you expect from very bias pro liberal publications that are even ready to support North Korea against their own president..Both articles are shameful especially that of USA today which was shamefully hilarious I must say ...You haven't told me what yiu problem actually is with Trump till date

As if I knew exactly what you will say. They are all fake news from the liberal press, no be so?
My problem with him is that he is a snake oil salesman and gullible folks like you are falling victim of his lies.
Donald Trump who spent money and time propagating a lie that Obama was born in Kenya! What a joke.

At the 2016 Democratic National Convention, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg got belly laughs with a quip about Donald Trump’s penchant for overstating his wealth and business success.

The “richest thing about Donald Trump is his hypocrisy,” Bloomberg said.

–– ADVERTISEMENT ––



On this Labor Day, after eight months under the man who promised to be “the greatest jobs president that God ever created,” it is time to reframe Bloomberg’s joke.


The richest thing about President Trump these days is that so many people are still buying his lies about job creation and wage increases.


It is true that the economy added 1.07 million new jobs in Trump’s first six months in office. It is also true that the GDP expanded by 3 percent in the second quarter.

That is very close to the good news that 1.08 million jobs were created in President Obama’s last six months in office.


“Indeed, no matter how you slice it,” the Washington Post reported last month, “there isn't even one six-month period after mid-2013 during which Obama didn't see at least 1 million jobs created.

“One million jobs in six months is not unprecedented — it has become the norm since the recovery from the Great Recession really kicked in,” wrote Post reporter Aaron Blake.

Remember how candidate Trump disparaged Obama’s strong economic indicators by charging the Federal Reserve with creating a “false economy” under the Democrat.

Has anyone asked him if the Fed is still creating a false economy. If not, exactly when did it stop?

Candidate Trump also promised that he would produce 25 million jobs in 10 years with 4 percent GDP growth. Last week, before news of job growth lagging for the month of August, he went back on that promise by claiming that if he can sustain 3 percent growth it will result in “12 million new jobs.”

But even Trump’s crowing about 3 percent GDP growth is misleading.

There were eight quarters during Obama’s eight years in office during which GDP growth rose above 3 percent. In the third quarter of 2014, growth surged to 5.2 percent.

To be fair, Obama never saw an entire year with three percent GDP growth. But most economists doubt Trump will get there either, on an annual basis, especially if he can’t get tax cuts through Congress.

In fact, 78 percent of registered voters agree with the skeptical economists, telling a Fox News poll last week that Congress is not likely to pass any tax reform this year.

That pessimism extends across party lines: 79 percent of Democrats and 76 percent of Republicans agree that tax reform is unlikely.

Much of Wall Street’s patience with Trump is based on his repeated promise to cut taxes.

So, what happens if that promise proves hollow?

At the moment, even the long heralded promise Trump made to cut the 35 percent corporate tax rate to 15 percent – a pledge he repeated as recently as April – has now reportedly been softened to a 20 or 25 percent rate in talks between White House officials and Congress.

Is that enough of a tax cut to generate new jobs for workers?

The New York Times quoted Michael Linden, policy director at the Roosevelt Institute, as saying that cutting corporate taxes will “have no effect on ordinary workers…Taxation of corporations falls entirely on the owners of capital, and not at all on workers and consumers.”

As for Trump’s promise to cut taxes for working people, the Times reported last week that Gary Cohn, the president’s chief economic advisor, and Steven Mnuchin, his Treasury secretary, are considering leaving it at the current level of 39.6 percent.

Trump’s campaign boasts about his singular ability to pump up the economy — boasts made in tandem with dismissals of all that Obama did to get the country out of the Great Recession — call to mind an earlier empty promise made by another Republican.

During the 2012 presidential election, GOP nominee Mitt Romney promised he would get unemployment to 6 percent or lower by the end of his first term.

Obama succeeded in getting unemployment down to 5 percent by the end of 2015.

Yet to this day Republicans refuse to tip their hat to Obama’s record, which also includes saving the auto industry and generating consistent economic growth.

Bill Clinton won the presidency 25 years ago with the campaign theme articulated by James Carville – “It’s the economy, stupid.” Trump is turning that slogan on its head. He is betting that stupid people won’t see through his boasts and falsehoods about the economy.

You can be assured that if failed tax reform and a government shutdown send the economy on a tumble, Trump will revert to talking about Obama’s economy.

Read and open your mind. Trump is a salesman, that is what he does. I'm not surprised you are taken in by his bullshit.

Draxler:
The American economy is doing very well, and the stock market is at an all time high. Illegal immigration is at historic lows and almost a million jobs have been created since he took office. Not necessarily a Trump supporter, but I'm not a Trump hater either. You Trump haters and his supporters let your emotions cloud your judgement. While there's a lot Trump has to improve on, majorly his character, he's not doing as badly as painted. He's already fulfilled a number of his promises although he's never building a wall and Obamacare will never be repealed, but that's majorly due to the Republican senators.

Please read the link I provided. Obama handed him an economy that was growing. In contrast, the American economy was collapsing when Obama was sworn in.

RomeSankara:
So he is danger to the world because of his stand against Islamic Terrorism?

So he is a danger to world because he is a critic of rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea

So he is danger to the world because he promised to protect his allies in the event other any attack by rocket man.

Na wa for this kind dangerous man OOO yet low life gang bangers like Jay-Z who is known to have shot his own brother over jewelry is considered a good man , yet Kim Jong of North Korea who is a depraved lunatic has Ur support over Trump just because you are a pained muslim, pained illegal Immigrant , pained homosexual , pained terrorism sympathizer ..haba recieve sense jare

Can you please tell us his achievements in all those things he promises his gullible voters. He can't even repeal the Obamacare he cried about for four years.

itchie:
You seriously think Jay z is richer than Trump? Wow!! Which planet are you living in? Like seriously?

I don't like morons to quote me. People who believe they know things they are clueless about.

RomeSankara:
Nobody in Jay Zs lineage has also achieved a quarter of what Trump has so Jay Z should just Sit down and be humble na

If your Donald duck is really as rich as he claims how come he can't provide his tax returns? I bet Jay-Z is richer. As for you, I don't even think you are qualified to smell Jay-z's poo.

RomeSankara:
Jay Z is just jealous that Trump has got Star on the Hollywood Walk of fame and he doesn't, he is Jealous that Trump became a billionaire decades ago and till date he is still struggling to even surpass P Diddy , Jay Zi is jealous that Trump has done better than him in ever known field in life ..Can Jay Z ever be the number one citizen of a whole Planet ? CAPITAL NO but Trump current is and he is going to be for the next 8 years

How dare you even talk about Jay-Z's nose. He can even employ you to smell his poo everyday of your life with your own beautiful nose.

RomeSankara:
Jay Z With his big ugly nose..He is just jealous Trump has a star on the Hollywood Walk of fame and he doesn't..All these Trump hater will die of shame because Trump will continue to surpass them in all standards of achievement and fulfillment

Nobody in your entire lineage have achieved anything close to what Jay Z have achieved. I mean the combined efforts of your entire lineage is not even close.
How dare you talk about Jay-Z like that?

RomeSankara:
Jay Z With his big ugly nose

I think you and your bunch of ignorant friends will also ask if Jay-Z and his "generation" had money like dumb Donald.
Can you now see how dumb you really are?

Backinfront:
I don't find Chinese women attractive. I meant i expect much better from beautiful women who are not whites or chinese

Ok, to each his own.

Backinfront:
Beautiful nonwhites/Chinese.

Alright, just to let you know that not all Chinese women are beautiful. Some are ugly as well.

Backinfront:

Yeah! Since white girls are not beautiful then what race do you find attractive?

Backinfront:
Plain and boring. Maybe i just have higher standards

Like?

Backinfront:
Pretty for a white girl. White girls are usually ughly

Really?

RomeSankara:
Hahahaha...Not trying boast but I have one of the most amazing minds on earth so amazing that it even scares ..I am off to sign a new deal today that would create over a thousand jobs in the next 6 months when I get back later in the evening I would make sure I say hi ..I hope you are also using your average mind for the good of humanity or are you still waiting for doers like me to come rescue you ..I noticed you also do this tribal tribal thing please try and stop it

Lmao, bullshitters are often impressed by their own bullsh.it. You are going to sign a deal TODAY that will create a THOUSAND jobs in SIX months?
I'm really impressed and congratulations in advance.
I can see why you think dumb Donald is smartest guy in history.

RomeSankara:
Good morning Guestlander..What do we do about this level of shallowness you keep displaying on a daily na

I've gone through a few of your posts, nothing uplifting or inspirational about them. I'm sure you are one of the throughly beaten Internet warriors on Nairaland.....and a hungry one too.
My moniker sounds nice! Now who sounds like a Mo.ro n?

RomeSankara:
Igbos do not need to achieve an independent nation they only need to renegotiate the terms of the Union..

Now I know where your ignorance stems from. A vanquished potopoto warrior. Perhaps your almighty Donald Trump will decree that Nigerians hold a referendum to give you Biafra..... .heheheh .

RomeSankara:
Let's not talk about poverty or wealth because it has nothing to do with my point ..Okay remove Trump's wealth and tell me something else you are better than him in ( e.g you can say the men in Ur lineage have bigger penis than Trump and that would count ) so why don't you just mention one thing g outside wealth or poverty that you are better than Trump in ..please put me to shame Na

Why shouldn't we? When I said Trump is stupid didn't you rreplied by saying your entire lineage is wretched?
Well, I know there's not a country in the world known as Nambia and there's no English word known as covfefe!
But all that doesn't matter though because he has more money than everyone in your entire lineage combined. Such a dolt.

RomeSankara:
Yes Trump inherited 35 million dollars from his dad but today he has grown that amount into a 4 billion dollar fortune in personal networth and many more billions in real estate assets under the Trump brand which means he turned over his inheritance more than 200 times over which means if all the males in your lineage had been turning over the piece of yam your lineage patriarch left for them over 2000 year ago at Trump's pace yuri family should be worth over a trillion dollars today but the entire lineage is still worth below 150 thousand dollars (I am being generous because I know Ur lineage is not worth that ) ..Abeg every family prays for a son like Trump ( have I told you he has never tasted alcohol in his life ..can u match such discipline). Ohh I forgot you are even drinking action bitters now where u are shei

It is very easy to spot poverty-stricken losers like you. Let me break it down to you. Trump's money means nothing to me the way it is to you. I understand how fools like you may think there's nothing else after money. I understand because wretched folks like you would kill just to eat crumbs from Trump's table.
I don't belong in that category and I'm sorry if no one in your lineage has ever experienced such a privilege.
You can defend stupidity from now till tomorrow but you will still wake up poor and miserable tomorrow. It sucks to be you.

xelly:
I didn't come to exchange words with you, I came to ask you to wok hard but since you are made, may you remain the way you are today. Say Amen!

You don't know me from anywhere, and that is not even the point. The point is that Trump is a stupid man and his $3 billion cannot change that. His liaisons with different women, beautiful or ugly cannot change it and
if you don't agree with me fine.

xelly:
Accept it, keep quiet and work hard. What he is saying is the universal truth. Or are you among the 1000000 richest men in Nigeria? What achievement of yours can be remembered?

Tell yourself the truth and work hard.

You don't know me do you? And I don't know you as well. How would you know whether or not I can feed your entire family for a year without batting an eyelid?
I must be wretched like you because we chat on Nairaland?

xelly:
Accept it, keep quiet and work hard. What he is saying is the universal truth. Or are you among the 1000000 richest men in Nigeria? What achievement of yours can be remembered?

Tell yourself the truth and work hard.

What universal truth? That all rich people are smart? Or they are better people because they are rich?
Are you a lesser human being because you are not amongst the richest people in Nigeria?
Freaking idiots everywhere.

careytommy7:
I have learnt to stop suffering fools on nairaland.
Pls ignore the id!ot.

Your father is an idiot. All these poverty-stricken dolts on Nairaland projecting their miserable existence on others.

RomeSankara:
Sorry currently typing from a Samsung phone and I believe it's a Korean phone and not chinese ..what is it about you and looking down on people .. Well my point is that I hate people saying Trump is dumb just because they heard others say it while in reality he is one of the smartest men on the planet and blessed achiever by any standard ..If Elon Musk says Trump is dumb then we can debate that but not ground dweller like you who comes from a lineage of men that have never broken through in any field , nobody in your lineage had won best farmer in Ur village , nobody in Ur lineage has won best village wrestler, nobody in Ur lineage was crowned top warrior in your village so you don't have a right to look down on anyone except on your lineage Sir ..I know you wonder how I know so much about your lineage like this ..it's because in life there are two types of human pedigree 1: the mockers 2: the doers , the mockery never risk anything they just use thier mouth to mock those who are doing ( and that's who you are ) then there are doers like Trump and I that go all out with a dream till will conquer it while people like you mock us waiting for us to fail ..and that explains why my family has produced so many great people and yours hasn't produced one till date because you foundational DNA came from a mocker while mine came from a doer ( my great great grandad was a legendary warrior were I come from and many of us will take this into the Nigerian Army where my surname can be found in most Nigerian Army history books ) .... Sorry I just thought I should school you a little ..By the way I like your moniker

Smartest in the world, how? You reek of poverty. Donald Trump was not a self made man. He inherited a lot of money from his father. The fact that he lost most of the money and almost went bankrupt is enough evidence that he doesn't come close to being one of the smartest people on earth.
If an idiot like yourself also inherited 40 million from your father in your twenties you have to be brain dead to lose it all and become poor again.
He didn't start any innovative company like Steve Jobs or Amazon's Jeff Bezos. He inherited money and continued doing what his father was doing, is that what made him smart?
Poverty has a war of distorting it's victims mind. If you ever come across Trump ask him to fart in your mouth because that could be the closest you will ever be to being wealthy.

RomeSankara:
My family has produced a first class chief , two governors , many military officers , many doctors, two vice chancellors , many professors , uncountable lawyers ,Senator, NBA star and the best gift of all to them which is me so don't go there Sir..I have no doubt all the males in uur lineage can't stand shoulder to shoulder with any male above 20 in my family Sir but this is not about us but about your lineage and Trump ....Abeg Trump pass u in every yardstick in life so give home respect Na

There's no way to confirm that, even if I can confirm it, all these people in your family will still qualify as failures according to your warped standard of achievement.
For all we know, your greatest possession in the whole world could be the Chinese phone on which you are typing your vacuous posts.

RomeSankara:
I have brought on all the possible yardstick where you can prove to me that at least one male form your lineage stands better than Trump including something as silly as bedding women yet you have failed to provide any ..Okay let me make it easy for all men in Ur lineage you guys tell me one area in life that any one of you is even better than Trump .oya mention one area please and shame me na

The fact that everyone in your lineage is a failure does not make it so for everyone. It appears that poverty is already coded in your family DNA.
Trump is rich and so what? It's obvious no one has even been rich in your family. Loser, as your god, dumb Trump would like to say.
