| President Trump thinks very highly of himself!!! |
Can you believe that a President would feel this way about himself? He must be delusional. Probably should be removed via the 25th amendment.

Donald Trump brags himself up....
Apparently Donald Trump called himself a better speechwriter than this own speechwriters and made the proclamation that he knows more about policies than his policy directors. Not just "some" policies, but Trump proclaimed that he knew more about "any" policy than his policy directors. It was also said that Trump does not need his daily briefings, because he is "among the most sophisticated consumers of intelligence on the planet".
Can you believe that a President would feel this way about himself? He must be delusional. Probably should be removed via the 25th amendment.

Sure asshole,
There is certainly economic cycles that suggests that a recession would be coming. It's also true that the tax cuts would certainly push off any potential recession for probably 12-18 months. It also true that Trump could conceivably come up with some other forms of stimulation that could continue to push things off.
The suggesting being made is that there might not be enough available stimulation to push off a recession past 2020.
There is nothing really of substance in this article that most economist wouldn't have already questioned. In fact, there is nothing really of substance that in this article that I haven't already thought about, and my experience is nothing more than having a business degree with some economic classes.
But what is the point of the article? Would a 2020 recession be "Trump's fault" - probably not. Would it damage his reelection chances? Certainly.
But at this point... most conservatives would rather have a one term Trump with a GOP congress (something that is much more likely if the economy stays hot for the next few months)... than a two term Trump with the last 6 of them being under Democratic Congressional control (which happens if there is a 2018 recession).
My opinion is that the tax cuts (and this guy appears to agree) will push the economy for the next few quarters... and it just may be enough to allow the GOP to retain control of both the House and Senate. One step at a time. If the GOP holds Congress after 2018, then they worry about 2020 after that.

So says Mr .6%!!!! LOLOLOL
Paul Krugman successfully predicted 23 of the 1 recessions that took place under Bush 43
There is certainly economic cycles that suggests that a recession would be coming.
Brilliant..That's exactly what that article was advocating....Dayum CH, you are brilliant beyond words....LOL
That's exactly what that article was advocating.
The fact that you had to read this in the Washington Post to consider the possibility that the economic cycle suggests a recession sometime in the near future...
tells us exactly how little you can think for yourself.
But isn't that sort of the whole point here Opie. You appear to be the only one who didn't already understand economic cycles. You are naive enough to pass this article off as something "insightful".
Next you will will send us an article that suggests that some team from either the AFC or the NFC will win the Super Bowl. duh!
"If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never"

oPie, your guy said Pres. Trump has complete control over the Economy, he could have put us I to recession now, then recovery later toward 2020 election. Then he says Pres Trump decided to cut taxes and Amp up this recovery.
Michael Wolff: Trump is 'bouncing off the walls' with anger over book
The Hill

4 hrs ago
Michael Wolff, the author of a newly released book about President Trump's White House, said he has heard that Trump is "bouncing off the walls" with anger over the book.
Wolff told The Hollywood Reporter that he still has sources in the White House who have filled him in on Trump's reaction to "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House."
"I hear that the president is very angry, or, let me be precise: I hear that he is truly bouncing off the walls," Wolff said.
He added that he didn't get the sense that Trump "has thought of anything other than himself at any given time.
"Certainly he was very open with me, accessible with me, and then he started to talk. Did he ever listen to me for one second? I never got that feeling. He just talks at you," Wolff said.
Wolff's book, along with news that a group of mostly Democratic lawmakers met with a psychiatrist for a briefing on Trump's mental health, has prompted questions about Trump's mental state.
Trump hit back at those questions in a series of tweets early Saturday, saying he was a "stable genius" and "like, really smart."
The president's chief of staff John Kelly also reportedly told a White House pool reporter on Saturday that he had not seen Trump's tweets from that morning.
After reading them, Kelly said Trump tweeted to get his rebuttal of the claims in Wolff's book out without using the media.

Source: Bannon was going to defend Trump until Trump attacked him
By Jake Tapper and Jeremy Diamond, CNN
Updated 7:28 PM ET, Sat January 6, 2018
Bannon and his allies drafted a statement on Wednesday praising Trump Jr. and Trump
Washington (CNN)Steve Bannon was only minutes away from attacking "Fire and Fury" author Michael Wolff over quotes attributed to the former White House chief strategist, but he decided not to do so after President Donald Trump attacked him after the release of excerpts from the book, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Bannon and his allies drafted a statement Wednesday praising Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., after excerpts of Wolff's explosive exposé quoted Bannon calling Trump's eldest son "treasonous"and "unpatriotic," a Bannon ally told CNN.
The statement was drafted, but Bannon had not yet made up his mind about whether to release it before the President released his own scathing statement about his former chief strategist, a second Bannon ally said. In that statement, Trump blasted Bannon and alleged he had "lost his mind."
It was too late for Bannon to do any cleanup, and the statement was spiked, the source said.
How U.S. Intelligence Agencies Underestimated North Korea

I skip over the Fake ID posts.
I'm a wonderful genius
“Everything I’ve done is 100 percent proper,” Trump said Saturday. “That’s what I do, is I do things proper.”
Alky, how is your bad back ?, liver?, lungs?
Oh and your healthy life style?
"I'm a stable genius."
"Now that Russian collusion, after one year of intense study, has proven to be a total hoax on the American public, the Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media, are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence,”
If you step back and look at the way he acts when he is reading a prepared statement and compare them to his own words.
The "Good people on both sides" revealed what he really stands for. His statement today used collusion six times. His own words show who he really is. It looks to me that the only thing matters to him is what matters to him. It's childish behavior. He always makes up a nickname.
If I differ with someone on politics, that's fine. I'm not opposed to the President and his his politics, I honestly believe that he is not qualified to be the President because he's not mentally stable or worse.
Go back to the 70's and 80's
My lifestyle is very healthy. A good diet, regular exercise, take my medications and live a good life.
I was exposed to pneumonia in a public place. My anti-rejection medications weaken my immune system.
My doctor didn't like how I sounded in my respiration and the x ray found out I had ammonia. I was released this afternoon.
Not that you understand the concept of exposure.
Recovering alcoholic is me . But your stupidly is incurable.
Yep trump is a genius....just ask him fools....LOLOLOL The actions of a spoiled 6 year old....
Trump Defends Mental Fitness, Saying He’s a ‘Stable Genius’
By PETER BAKER and MAGGIE HABERMAN
President Trump, seeming to respond to revelations in a new book, issued an extraordinary defense of his fitness for office in a series of tweets.
By taking on the issue so directly, the president ensured that the discussion of his capacity would only intensify.
From the Hospice Blog,,, HB LIED, will he admit he lied?

Comey Has To Go
The director of the FBI inserted the agency into the election. The letter nine days ago, was incorrect. The letter he released today, does not excuse his original letter. I don't know how it works, but he should not be retained as the director of the FBI.

More wolff book lies-hr claims kelly Ann Conway never worked on national campaign before Trump. There is hard evidence that she in fact, was involved in Dan quayle's 1999 predidential campaign and newt's 2012 president campaign.
File the book under fiction.
Everytime another so called journalis writes a provable lie, Trump is proven right
The dem tactics are obvious. First they make a statement about the president's mental fitness. Second, they keep repeating it. Third, they use all that to frame their questions with the phrase 'a lot of people are asking...'. Now it has just become a manufactured story.
This is why voters get their newd online now instead of from the networks.
That was during the campaign. His statements about the Clinton family and negative information that damaged her campaign. I did not support the President when he fire him to objecting justice.

Bannon knows a lot, perhaps more than anyone other than Trump family members, and he is tentatively scheduled to testify before the House Intelligence Committee on January 11. What’s more, Bannon has long privately expressed concerns about Trump’s dealings with Russians. If Trump’s goal was to neuter Bannon, to bring him back in line, it seems to have worked. “The president of the United States is a great man,” Bannon said, shortly after the letter went out. “You know I support him day in and day out.”
The following morning, Trump lawyers sent a letter to the book’s publisher threatening legal action and demanding it cease publication immediately.
So the president wants a book banned. He wants a political opponent in jail and, for good measure, maybe the former FBI director, too. He thinks his former top adviser is insane.
This isn’t normal. And it’s not just “Trump being Trump,” the preferred dodge of elected Republicans. It’s a reflection of the president’s troubled mind and of his erratic, irrational judgment.
Trump’s media defenders will tell us, once again, that he was joking, that we shouldn’t pay attention to his antics. Seriously not literally and all that bunk. And they’ll point, once again, to tax reform and Justice Neil Gorsuch.

They are honest about the President, unlike others are troubled by irrational and emotionally impulsive behavior. Our host is one of them.
Wollf was on Meet The Press today. If you can break away from Fox Fake News and make your own decisions about the book and watch it on the repeat or on demand. Chuck Todd is a real journalist.
I'm sure that you probably won't bother you because. But he provided answers to the questions to the criticism by The President others.

I quoted you verbatim. You put up the thread on the Alky blog. Your issue is with your own thread.
A home full of "healthy life style".
Ette, he called for the firing of Comey on Nov 7th, 2016. I just copied and pasted his Thread from his Alky sewer.
One day before the election. Context is above your head. The Kansans are stupid to understand the meaning of context and the date
I look forward to Roger's explaining the context as to why it's significant that he called for Comey's firing before the election but not after.
It's maybe because he's a hack?
Exclusive: Bannon apologizes
Battered by the backlash from Michael Wolff's book, Steve Bannon is trying to make amends with the Trump family, providing a statement to Axios that expresses "regret" to President Trump and praises his son, Donald Trump Jr.
___________
"Donald Trump, Jr. is both a patriot and a good man. He has been relentless in his advocacy for his father and the agenda that has helped turn our country around."
"My support is also unwavering for the president and his agenda — as I have shown daily in my national radio broadcasts, on the pages of Breitbart News and in speeches and appearances from Tokyo and Hong Kong to Arizona and Alabama."
"President Trump was the only candidate that could have taken on and defeated the Clinton apparatus. I am the only person to date to conduct a global effort to preach the message of Trump and Trumpism; and remain ready to stand in the breech for this president's efforts to make America great again."
"My comments about the meeting with Russian nationals came from my life experiences as a Naval officer stationed aboard a destroyer whose main mission was to hunt Soviet submarines to my time at the Pentagon during the Reagan years when our focus was the defeat of 'the evil empire' and to making films about Reagan's war against the Soviets and Hillary Clinton's involvement in selling uranium to them."
"My comments were aimed at Paul Manafort, a seasoned campaign professional with experience and knowledge of how the Russians operate. He should have known they are duplicitous, cunning and not our friends. To reiterate, those comments were not aimed at Don Jr."
"Everything I have to say about the ridiculous nature of the Russian 'collusion' investigation I said on my 60 Minutes interview. There was no collusion and the investigation is a witch hunt."
"I regret that my delay in responding to the inaccurate reporting regarding Don Jr has diverted attention from the president's historical accomplishments in the first year of his presidency."
----The backstory ... In Wolff's book, Bannon is quoted as saying of Mueller's prosecutors: "They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV.'"
----Be smart: While Bannon's statement may seem like a baby step, he's as stubborn as Trump when it comes to apologizing and admitting he has made a mistake. He views any concession as a sign of humiliating weakness.
----What's next: Look for Don Jr. to accept the statement graciously. But Bannon has further to go with President Trump: Axios has learned that POTUS has said that he wants surrogates who appear for him on TV to "bury Steve."
----Axios' Jonathan Swan reported last night: Trump has been working the phones over the past several days, telling allies they need to choose between him and Bannon.
----P.S. "Fake book" ... Trump tweets as he leaves Camp David: "I’ve had to put up with the Fake News from the first day I announced that I would be running for President. Now I have to put up with a Fake Book, written by a totally discredited author."
"Ronald Reagan had the same problem and handled it well. So will I!"
"Ette, he called for the firing of Comey on Nov 7th, 2016. I just copied and pasted his Thread from his Alky sewer."
I posted both of his Comey should be fired posts last week.
He's a creeper and a troll.
"It's maybe because he's a hack?"
A bitter troll.
Obama’s popularity is rising even as Trump is president
Analysts, backed by loads of anecdotal evidence, say President Trump’s unconventional conduct has deepened the connection to Barack Obama for some.
By Astead W. Herndon
Globe Staff January 07, 2018
WASHINGTON — One American politician is currently dominating the cultural landscape, from social media to late-night television. His poll numbers look great, his Twitter posts are often among the most read in the world, and with every utterance, his impassioned base of supporters reacts with a fervor more typical for celebrities than former civil servants.
Meet Barack Obama.
The former president left office last January with favorable approval ratings, but historians, former staffers, and political observers now say his societal standing has reached a new echelon — and it’s partly due to his successor.
Donald Trump spent much of his first year in office attempting to erase Obama’s policy legacy, but experts, backed by loads of anecdotal evidence, say Trump’s unconventional and often divisive conduct has actually deepened the connection to Obama for liberals and independents. As the current president spent 2017 buffeted by scandals and igniting Twitter controversies, Obama seemed to increasing numbers a throwback to simpler political times, more deeply admired by those who find Trump ever more deeply objectionable.
Most presidents — even the most unpopular ones — tend to grow in public esteem after they leave office. But only one of them may score an invite to the upcoming royal wedding in England; rumor has it that Obama may make the coveted list. Trump, after a string of tweets and remarks ill-received in post-Brexit Britain, may not.
“Obama’s legacy is being bolstered by Trump,” said Michael Days, author of an Obama biography called “Obama’s Legacy: What He Accomplished as President.”
“People are waking up every morning to tweets that some find upsetting and frightening. And they’re realizing whether they liked or didn’t like Obama, people know they were rarely embarrassed by him,” Days said.
The former president’s enhanced public profile could, however, be a double-edged sword for Democrats. While Obama provides them a ready counterpoint to Trump’s chaotic presidency, he also represents the past, not the still-forming future of the party.
In 2016, the party, without Obama topping the ticket, failed to excite key constituencies — especially black Americans and other minorities — and many party operatives acknowledge that this remains a threat going forward. An adviser close to Obama said that he wants to help empower the next generation of Democrats, not overshadow them, but the party still lacks a singular figure who can energize the party.
Douglas Heye, a GOP strategist and former spokesman at the Republican National Committee, said Democrats are now seeing Obama through “rose colored glasses.”
“It’s as if Democrats are turning the 1992 Clinton slogan on its head and are singing ‘Don’t stop thinking about yesterday,’ ” Heye said. “But while it may be a nostalgic diversion from today’s reality, it won’t help Democrats address why they lost to Trump and how they can beat him in 2020.”
On Twitter, Obama’s growth in popularity can be quantified. When he wished the country a Merry Christmas in his last year as president, the message was retweeted about 100,000 times. But when Private Citizen Obama wrote an almost identical message in 2017, it was retweeted 250,000 times, dwarfing his previous total and the response to Trump’s holiday greeting.
The same is true for well-wishes for Senator John McCain, who has cancer, or posts about the new year. When Trump and Obama tweet about the same topic, it’s Obama — not Trump — whose messages resonate more. And it’s not just because he has almost twice as many Twitter followers — 98 million to 46 million — as Trump, whose presidential image has been shaped, as Obama’s never was, by his many, often scalding, tweets.
“He represents a different type of presidency,” Robert Shrum, director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at USC, said of Obama. “And it’s one that resonates more and more with people when they’re constantly reminded of the type of person he is, and the type of person Trump is.”
Polling shows Obama’s favorability rating has hit heights unseen since his first inauguration. The latest polling compiled by HuffPost had Obama’s favorability rating near 60 percent, up almost 15 points from when he entered his final year in office. A Gallup survey last month found Obama was the man that Americans admired most in the world, marking one of the few years the sitting president didn’t win (Trump came in second in the survey of American adults). He was recently serenaded on “Saturday Night Live” with a song titled “Come Back Barack,” which became so popular the network reportedly contemplated a commercial release. His end-of-the-year favorite songs list was the talk of music blogs, and he was just announced as the first guest for late-night TV host David Letterman’s highly anticipated return broadcast.
A part of this post-presidential bloom is the natural outgrowth of leaving the Oval Office and the role of national lightning rod. Most presidents experience a popularity jump after leaving the presidency, and June data from Gallup showed George W. Bush, who polled at near-record lows near the end of his second term, has also experienced a significant popularity boost in retirement. Even the last two one-term presidents — George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter — are now seen in a favorable light by the majority of Americans, polling shows.
Trump recently tweeted: “While the Fake News loves to talk about my so-called low approval rating, @foxandfriends just showed that my rating on Dec. 28, 2017, was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009.”
Since bursting onto the political scene in 2004, Obama has long been reviled by Republicans — a backlash that helped energize Trump’s conservative base — but there are also some signs that even that opposition is growing softer. A survey done for Fox News in November found that among registered voters in Alabama — a state that Obama lost by more than 20 points in 2008 and 2012 — the former president had a higher favorability rating than Trump, 52 percent to 50 percent.
But in some ways, all the ex-presidents look better when measured against the current occupant of the White House, whose fervent base has remained steady but who has done little to try to appeal to the majority of Americans who did not vote for him.
David Blight, a Yale professor and presidential historian, called it a “surging nostalgia for a hopeful, more honest era of meaningfulness. . . . Trump breeds toxicity in all directions. Obama’s legacy can only grow while we have a president who does not read books.”
Like Blight, other historians also said they see the legacies of Obama and Trump as inextricably tied. There’s the race aspect, because Obama was the first African-American president and Trump has at times borrowed language from white nationalists and has often been accused of stoking racial resentment during his first year in office. But it’s also about personality, considering that the public images of the two men couldn’t be more different.
Obama ran a White House that was sometimes criticized for being too methodical and centralized, while Trump’s administration is the opposite.
In the past week alone, he has engaged in a public feud with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, compared nuclear arsenals with North Korea over Twitter, and announced a “Fake News” awards show to be held Monday.
“While the Fake News loves to talk about my so-called low approval rating, @foxandfriends just showed that my rating on Dec. 28, 2017, was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009, which was 47% . . . and this despite massive negative Trump coverage & Russia hoax!” Trump tweeted in late December 2017.
Except, of course, it wasn’t quite true. Or rather it was only true of one poll, and not of the flood of others. According to Gallup’s daily tracking poll, Obama’s approval rating was at 51 percent on Dec. 28, 2009. Eight years later, Trump was at a 38 percent approval rating, a full 13 points below his predecessor. Trump’s preferred polling service, Rasmussen, did have Trump and Obama about equal on that December date, but even it often has Trump lagging behind Obama’s approval numbers.
Favreau, the former Obama staffer, was not surprised by those numbers. He said Obama has always held more cultural significance than polls can capture.
“It’s partly due to the Trump backlash, and partly true because Obama’s personal popularity has always outpaced his job approval,” he said.
Beyond the nation’s shores, there are some places around the world, though not many, where Trump is more popular than Obama. A 2017 Pew Research Center survey polled 37 nations across the world about their opinions of the two presidents, and all but two countries rated Obama higher.
The ones that preferred Trump? Israel by 7 percentage points and Russia by 42.
