    Trump is only interested in keeping the radical nuts that supported him which is why he has been incessantly pandering to them after Charlottesville. IMO, Trump is just milking his numbered days in office to profit in one way or another so he does not care who he alienates as long as the crazies will make a martyr out of him and he can sell his crap and brand.

    Kinda makes you wonder if they actually thought he would change once in the office........why would he, he has lived his entire spoon fed life as a demi-king.

    Oh no! What a group of Pittsburgh people think about Trump must be the last straw!! Lol

    Relax, Trump will be out of office after his second term is up, and you'll get your first woman president after that (named Ivanka)

    A politician keeping his word to his constituents, what a shock.

    Its a nice change actually.

    Trump hasn't done anything he hasn't said he would.

    Its kind of why he was voted into office.

    They also had no idea about Mueller and the investigation because trump voters do not tune into real news. I'm looking for the video of the focus group, but it's really unbelievable how these Trump voters soured without even knowing the really ugly details.

    Here ya go...

    Delusional

    Fake News

    Trump only carried about 15% of the Pittsburgh vote in the election, still spanked your asses statewide though!

    But does it beat psychological projections? You may have intimate knowledge as some seem to be slowly grasping the mistake they made.

    We made a SPLENDID Choice: Citing Pittsburgh focus groups is like taking polls in DC or CA. Meaningless jibber jabber.

    As The GDP Continues To Climb, Trump’s Springfield, MO Speech Brings Even More Confidence Through Sweeping Economic Reform

    Trump took 30 states last time. The Dems only manged to take 20. Next time out that will probably dwindle to 15.

    I'd like to take that bet.
    How much would you care to wager?
    Cash on the barrel.

    It's early, but the Trump presidency is shaping up to be such a fabulous one, that who knows, maybe I'm being overly conservative in my estimates.

    This is also possible:
    [​IMG]

    There's still a market for Guy Fawkes masks for adjunct junior college professors to pretend they're violent anarchist revolutionaries out of some Dostoevsky novel they never finished. And the tone-deaf nitwits on the L.A. City Council did choose the occasion of an ongoing massive natural disaster to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day, to include a paid vacation for all city employees (but not the myriad other taxpayers of the vast metropolis).

    Nevertheless, a flood of Noah-like proportions has a way of focusing the minds of the rest of us.

    Donald Trump has clearly done well thus far in his capacity of crisis-manager-in-chief. It seems the presidential activity he was born for, the one most akin to vast wealth of life experience of development and management. Reconstruction is certain to go on for quite a while and remain a focal point of our national attention for a significant period. Trump knows how to handle it as well as anybody who has held the office.

    His adversaries sense it too. You know the Never Trumpers of the left and right are pretty hard up when all they have to obsess about are Melania Trump's stilettos, which she rocks, by the way.

    Trump is proving himself under fire. Nitpickers now seem more what they are -- pickers of nits. And those accusing Trump of racismsexismhomophobiaIslamophobiayaddayaddayadda will appear to be exactly what they are as well -- dim-witted bores who wouldn't know a real racist when they saw one, unless they looked into a mirror.

    The Mueller investigation will die an agonizing death. Trump will achieve that Holy Grail of Holy Grails, the tax reform he spoke of in his speech Thursday.

    Tests like Harvey reveal his mettle. These clowns who have a vested interests in his failure, their motivations are being laid bare. This country and its 325 million citizens remain undaunted. Many of them are doing miraculous things for their fellow citizens in the flood waters of Texas and now Louisiana. They are pleased and often proud to have a president who is wholeheartedly supporting them. Rooting for American greatness binds us together.

    That's ok, Putin is in Trump's corner and will help him out for the next 7 years. Don't bother paying attention to those silly people that make up the polls.

    60%+ of this country are nitpickers?

    Proving himself? Hows that wall. Hows that trans ban. Hows that Trumpcare? Zero major legislative accomplishments. Approval dropping like a brick in the water.

    He can only ride on Obama's economy for so long.

    The "Obama" Economy sure works better with Trump as President than it did with Obama.

    I like this bet even better.
    You pick.
    This is purely a business transaction for me. :)
    And, as usual, the First Lady is looking amazing.

    Trump fudged nothing: Re-read his statement.

    I was puzzled to see that some of Obama's negative quarters don't appear in the graph above, so I pulled the numbers from the Fed, they updated them yesterday:

    [​IMG]

    Here is a link to the page if you wish to review for yourself.

    https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=eQrT

    1st Quarter 2014, for example was negative:
    4th Quarter 2013, GDP was $15,793.9B
    1st Quarter 2014, GDP was $15,757.6B

    That's a loss, no two ways about it.
