mfw Trump uses half the time for his economic platform to bitch about how NATO doesn't pay their fair share.

First of all, her plan is going to raise taxes, maybe double. It's a disaster. She can say all she wants about college tuition, but the public's going to be paying for it. I'd like to start off with where we left. When I say Saudi Arabia, Japan, Germany, she questioned it. Then, when I brought it up, they started paying up. I'm a big fan of NATO, but they have to pay up. She said "We love our allies", but we have to get them to pay up. During Obama's regime, we've doubled our national debt. We're going to have free trade. Our jobs are being taken out by NAFTA, worst thing done by her husband. Our jobs have fled to Mexico and other places. I'll bring them back by renegotiating NAFTA, and if I can't, we'll terminate NAFTA. It's been a disaster. We'll cut taxes massively. Businesses will start hiring again. Our country is dying at 1% GDP.

Some one translate this.

Trump is talking about the allies like they were small businesses or his employees.

Pretty sure that's how he views most things.

"Let me translate that if I can."

"YOU CAN'T"

Well, there's a true statement from Trump. That was completely unintelligible and untranslatable.

HRC.
Well let me just translate that because the fact is that he will advocate for the largest tax cuts we've ever seen ( 3 times more than Bush). I have said that I will not raise taxes on < $250K. I will not add a penny to the debt - I have costed it out. He mentioned the debt, but we know how to get control of it, my husband brought a surplus and we were on the path to paying it off. When Obama came into office, he had a bad economy but cut deficit by 2/3.

I have investments in new jobs and skill training and opportunity for people. This will work. Tax cuts has not worked.

Investment. Something Trump has no concept of.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

As far as Trump helping college students (like myself) with tuition, I think he just suggested that Japan and South Korea would pay for it, right? :clap:

"Look at upstate NY" Well I happen to live in the Hudson Valley (Beacon) and I have seen people buy up these old warehouses and now turning them into condos. In 2012 this place was awful, now small businesses here and springing up, and it feels much better as a small town that inherits from Democratic agendas.

Wallace.
Secretary- I want to pursue your plan, because in many ways it's similar to Obama's stimulus plan in 2009 which led to low GDP growth. You said the problem was he didn't get to do as much as he wanted, so is your plan even more of the Obama stimulus?


Trump.
Correct.
