Re: Trump (again!)
When you can sell hundreds of thousands of worthless trinkets to the Party Faithful for $bazillions, you can well afford to do the “look how generous I am: not taking the salary!” stunt.

Re: Trump (again!)
To me, about as relevant as your last post Ron, but I didn't bite, but your fishing trip seems to have at least caught a Ray
If you can't see just how bad setting a crypto in your own name to make it easy to pay bribe money ..... then nothing anyone says will shift your belief that what he is doing is justifiable ....
All I hope is that their form of democracy allows the American people to have a say in what they feel is a good way for the head of state to act and be allowed to change the controlling forces away from the "one person" rule that seems to be the method of govt there at the moment ....

Re: Trump (again!)
Good morning Gentlemen.
Keith.
Keith.
I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

Re: Trump (again!)
It is interesting that no one in the media seemed to join the dots regarding the advantage Trump gained during the shutdown.
By simply blocking the release of figures collected by govt depts regarding the actual employment rate and actual wages across the whole range, not just the total income divided by a number that suited Trump, he could create an illusion of wages growth ..... much like our govts do with the average wage ..... I think most of us would have a smile from ear to ear if we were on the average wage
The actual employment number I guess he is counting on increasing over the holiday period as it generally does ..... the numbers won't be seen until at least Jan next yr, so that gives him a lot of breathing space with the voters ......
Not sure what his plan will be if the media starts inventing numbers that make him look really bad ..... in a fit of rage and mid tantrum, would he release the real numbers .... then be force to back up those number as being verifiable ..... even if they paint a worsening picture for the US economy .......
It might be that dreaded double edged sword, taking out his legs and off with his head on the back swing ......
