Trump MAGAThread XII: A Tarriff-ic Thread!

[Neutraligon]

Hey there, it's herp, time for some Trump polls.



53.1% Disapprove, 40.7% Approve.

55% Disapprove, 40.7% Approve.

41% approved and 54% disapproved.

President Donald Trump should not fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, American voters say 69 - 13 percent in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Even Republicans say 55 - 22 percent that President Trump should not fire Mueller.

Trump gets a negative 41 - 52 percent job approval rating, the first time his approval rating has topped 40 percent since an identical 41 - 52 percent score in a March 7, 2017 Quinnipiac University National Poll.

American voters give Trump a split 47 - 48 percent approval for handling the economy and a divided 46 - 47 percent approval for handling taxes. Approval ratings on other issues are negative:
39 - 55 percent on foreign policy;
42 - 55 percent on immigration;
40 - 52 percent on trade.

What exactly has he done that some people approve of his job on the economy.

He pisses off Democrats and Liberals.

[Dumb Ideologies]

Share if you remember when Trump trashed Hillary's overly aggressive Syria policy as likely to provoke World War III.

How many guaranteed lawsuit-free pussy grabs would it take to restore him to that system snapshot?

He hasn't sent us into another recession quite yet.

[Post War America]

What exactly has he done that some people approve of his job on the economy.

He hasn't sent us into another recession quite yet.

A part of me is hoping for a huge depression to outright cannonball the economy, even though that would pretty much guarantee that I'd be homeless and starving.

[Sovaal]

He hasn't sent us into another recession quite yet.

A part of me is hoping for a huge depression to outright cannonball the economy, even though that would pretty much guarantee that I'd be homeless and starving.

Why?

[Post War America]

A part of me is hoping for a huge depression to outright cannonball the economy, even though that would pretty much guarantee that I'd be homeless and starving.

Why?

Because, another depression while the lasseiz-faire tending GOP is in power might actually do something to teach the populace that lasseiz-faire economics is actually not good for working people.

[Proctopeo]

Why?

Because, another depression while the lasseiz-faire tending GOP is in power might actually do something to teach the populace that lasseiz-faire economics is actually not good for working people.

Ah, so you want to cut off the nose to spite the face. Understood.

[Petrasylvania]

Why?

Because, another depression while the lasseiz-faire tending GOP is in power might actually do something to teach the populace that lasseiz-faire economics is actually not good for working people.

And a Trumpville sprouting on the National Mall.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

He hasn't sent us into another recession quite yet.

A part of me is hoping for a huge depression to outright cannonball the economy, even though that would pretty much guarantee that I'd be homeless and starving.

No, it's just not worth it. Destroying the country would be bad,and I hope he doesn't do it.

I was more thinking cut off the face to spite the face, but yeah. Ultimately it seems that these sorts of lessons don't get learned until it is experienced, and ultimately this lesson needs to be learned.

[Hittanryan]

What exactly has he done that some people approve of his job on the economy.

He hasn't sent us into another recession quite yet.

When a Republican is in office, Republicans will claim everything is swell and we need to stay the course. That same course pursued by a Democrat is a catastrophe.

Asking Donnie to not destroy anything he is in charge of is like asking Jerry Sandusky to not cornhole a boy.

What lesson could possibly be worth that price tho?

What exactly has he done that some people approve of his job on the economy.

Well, the unemployment rate is at a ten-year low and wage growth is going up.

[Post War America]

A part of me is hoping for a huge depression to outright cannonball the economy, even though that would pretty much guarantee that I'd be homeless and starving.

No, it's just not worth it. Destroying the country would be bad,and I hope he doesn't do it.

Oh no I'm not hoping that he actively runs the economy into the ground. Methinks it'd look more like Herbert Hoover, and his willful ignorance of economic problems because "muh free market".

[Petrasylvania]

What exactly has he done that some people approve of his job on the economy.

Well, the unemployment rate is at a ten-year low and wage growth is going up.

Aren't the job growths mostly in service sector industries?

Another recession isn't going to destroy the country. This country has weathered recessions, depressions, and a Great Depression. The American economy isn't that weak.

[Post War America]

Well, the unemployment rate is at a ten-year low and wage growth is going up.

Aren't the job growths mostly in service sector industries?

Yes, and the jobs reports are notoriously bad at tracking underemployment as well, in addition it also fails to mention the existence of those who have outright dropped out of the workforce. However, nobody's ever going to mention that.

Something something lies, damned lies, and statistics something something.

Yeah, I don't think the "lesson" is worth the cost.

I dunno.

I would disagree, if only because either way, the average person will suffer.

[Proctopeo]

Yeah, I don't think the "lesson" is worth the cost.

I would disagree, if only because either way, the average person will suffer.

So, the average person either suffers somewhat ad infinitum, or suffers a lot more for a good long time for the dubious promise of less suffering in the future.
The former is more savory.

[Eol Sha]

Yes, and the jobs reports are notoriously bad at tracking underemployment as well, in addition it also fails to mention the existence of those who have outright dropped out of the workforce.

Look, man, I was asked why someone might approve of Trump's handling of the economy. I provided some reasons. Even if someone is underemployed, they've still got a job. They may not have had a job this time around two years ago. An income, even a chronically low one, is better than no income.

However, nobody's ever going to mention that.

Look, I'm a liberal and I despise this administration. However, this is just bullshit. If you listened to Trump during the campaign, he regularly talked about inaccuracies in the monthly job report. Now, you may think that's just simple opportunism, and I'd agree with you, but no one is not talking about it.

I'd have to agree with you.
