The Official Thread Dedicated to "Trump Winning"

[ZonaBurgh]

Ya, but, but who's going to pay for all these tax cuts?

Co-worker spouted this out yesterday. Told her to keep politics in the break room and to look at her paycheck next month.

Walmart is closing 63 Sam's Club stores across the US, the company told Business Insider.

Several stores were abruptly closed Thursday. In some cases, employees were not informed of the closures prior to showing up to work on Thursday.

Instead, they learned that their store would be closing when they found the store's doors locked and a notice announcing the closure, according to reports.

Ten of the affected stores will be turned into ecommerce distribution centers, and employees of those stores will have the opportunity to reapply for positions at those locations, a Walmart official said.

The remaining stores will stay open for several weeks before closing permanently.

Sam's Club offered an explanation for the closures on Twitter, saying, "After a thorough review of our existing portfolio, we’ve decided to close a series of clubs and better align our locations with our strategy. Closing clubs is never easy and we’re committed to working with impacted members and associates through this transition."

The closures come on the same day that Walmart announced it was raising starting hourly wages to $11, expanding employee benefits, and offering workers bonuses of up to $1,000.

Here's a list of closures rounded up from local media reports and Sam's Club employees that contacted Business Insider. The list will be updated as we learn of additional locations.

It’s sad, but awesome at the same time. I mean, how great is it that you can order pretty much whatever you want and have it on your doorstep the day after tomorrow? In five years we won’t have any shopping malls.

Living in the woods, it is almost impossible to " go shopping " for stuff. Half the time I drive an hour to find out the product I need is out of stock anyway. My mailman and UPS guy are like family. Screw them malls, they are just playgrounds for rowdy yout's anyway.

U.S. stocks traded sharply higher as investors chased a market breaking out on better-than-expected earnings and rising economic optimism under President Donald Trump.

The Dow Jones industrial average broke above 26,000 for the first time earlier in the session. At 12:47 p.m. ET, the Dow traded 122 points higher, slightly below the milestone level. The 30-stock index was boosted by gains in UnitedHealth and Merck.

It took the Dow just 12 calendar days, or seven trading days, to move from 25,000 to 26,000, making it the fastest 1,000 move on record for the index. It first traded above 25,000 on Jan. 4.

The liberal media won't agree with me, but I 100% think the talks that are developing between North and South Korea are opening BECAUSE of the Trump administration.

http://www.ajc.com/sports/report-no...ther-opening-ceremony/nTEn5URD8jxBqqBJxCu3jI/

This is exactly how changes in North Korea could move forward. The U.S. was never going to be the lead on this (just like in the Middle East). We are the muscle and we should ACT like the muscle (not the pansy *** Obama was).

North Korea is a threat to the entire region but it is still South Korea that has the most to lose and they have the most to gain fixing the problem. We can't do it for them. But we can be there with our military power to back them up at the table. And we can be instigators of change (which Trump has exactly done). Even in a bad cop roll.

When you start to see how Trump's administration is treating foreign relations it is so refreshing. We pick sides but let the negotiating up to the countries. We instigate with our military power for change but let the real players in the region decide what is best for them.

From the very beginning we said Russia, Crimea and Ukraine was a Europe (and the EU) issue. Not the United States. We can strongly pick sides (EU), strongly condemn Russia with sanctions and threats of military use, but it shouldn't be the U.S. at the table with Moscow. It should be the E.U.

We can strongly back Israel, instigate Hamas/Iran (which we are doing), threaten military action but we don't need to be the "peace negotiators". That is just bullshit liberal thinking. The only people able to negotiate that is Israel and Palestine. By themselves.

The world is becoming a better and more stable place under Trump's leadership. The world knows who will we back and who we don't like. It's not gray like it was during Obama. It wasn't covert and wishy-washy. North Korea, Iran, Syria, civil wars in Libya/Yemen/Somalia... there are the areas Trump is concentrating on (for good reason). And he's getting things done.

 

[Supersteeler]

North Korea was using their same old rhetoric they always use only this time their bluff finally got called and **** got real quickly. It's amazing how that changes attitudes suddenly.

$38 Billion (with a B) in tax revenue just like that. Reinvested into American hiring. And socialists will realize proper wage increases happen with full employment and demand for skills (even basic ones) and not through social engineering and random minimum wage increases.

Good for Apple for considering flyover America as well. Winning in states that will vote for Trump again in 2020.

Spot on.

The best way to police the globe is not to get embroiled in every little squabble (Ukraine, Israel, Korea, etc), but to strong and silent, lined up behind whomever America chooses to support.
Support means to help thru troubled waters, or in a fight, like a big brother. It does not mean to establish a regional dependency for generations, such that any policy moves look to harm some party's interest in their shithole.

This is probably why the Dow is tanking again today.

With this medical business out of the way, I hope Trump focuses on border security. If you have to grant dreamers a better legal status ( but without the right to vote ) to get the border security, I say make the deal.

Taxes and border security would be two big wins, with a supreme court justice being the third big win for Trump. The Economy is in great shape. ISIS is in major decline.

Trump might also want to replace Justice Kennedy before 2018 if possible, or right after them if the Republicans maintain a majority in the Senate, which I think will happen. Remember if its a 50/50 tie the vice president makes the tiebreaking vote. Kennedy is 81 ( Will be 82 this July ). Of course if Justice Ginsburg ( now 84 ) retires or nature takes it eventual course while Trump has a majority in the senate, the Liberals will be screaming and kicking as bad as they did on that excellent night in November 2017.

Trump may have a real chance to define the Supreme Court for 2-3 decades.

He still needs to slap a tariff on foreign steel. The industry is down 20% from ‘16, which was down from prior year as well. Once he got elected other countries flooded us with their steel because he said he was going to end it and they knew they only had a small window of time. He needs to slam that window shut.

Trump's 'Fake News Awards' lead with CNN, ABC's Ross, NY Times' Krugman

"2017 was a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage, and even downright fake news. Studies have shown that over 90 percent of the media’s coverage of President Trump is negative," according to the announcement.

The awards, hosted on the GOP's national website, were unavailable immediately following Trump's tweet announcing them, likely from a traffic overload.

"The New York Times’ Paul Krugman claimed on the day of President Trump’s historic, landslide victory that the economy would never recover," according to the GOP-hosted website. Krugman's No. 1 listing is contrasted with a headline that shows the Dow hitting a record high.

No. 2 on the list says "ABC News' Brian Ross CHOKES and sends markets in a downward spiral with false report." ABC News was required to correct a report in December when Ross incorrectly reported that Trump directed a campaign aide to make contact with Russians during the campaign. The network later corrected the report to say it was during the transition, after Trump had already been elected. Ross was suspended for the error.

No. 3 blasts CNN for "FALSELY" reporting that candidate Donald Trump and his son Donald J. Trump, Jr. had access to hacked documents from WikiLeaks. CNN also corrected that report in December.

No. 4: "TIME FALSELY reported that President Trump removed a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office." That incident was a January tweet by a Time Magazine reporter. The reporter sent out more than a dozen tweets correcting the mistake and apologizing immediately following the first tweet that reported a bust had been removed.

No. 5 blames the Washington Post for reporting that "the President’s massive sold-out rally in Pensacola, Florida was empty. Dishonest reporter showed picture of empty arena HOURS before crowd started pouring in."

Straight up winning. And I don’t care if this link is Infowars, it’s all Fact. Edit* Actually it was originally from the GOP website.

https://www.infowars.com/breaking-trump-tweets-2017-fake-news-awards-winners/

While the media spent 90% of the time focused on negative coverage or fake news, the President has been getting results:

1. The economy has created nearly 2 million jobs and gained over $8 trillion in wealth since the President’s inauguration.

2. African Americans and Hispanics are enjoying the lowest unemployment rate in recorded history.

3. The President signed historic tax cuts and relief for hardworking Americans not seen since President Reagan.

4. President Trump’s plan to cut regulations has exceeded “2 out for every 1 in” mandate, issuing 22 deregulatory actions for every one new regulatory action.

5. The President has unleashed an American energy boom by ending Obama-era regulations, approving the Keystone pipeline, auctioning off millions of new acres for energy exploration, and opening up ANWR.

6. ISIS is in retreat, having been crushed in Iraq and Syria.

7. President Trump followed through on his promise to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and instructed the State Department to begin to relocate the Embassy.

8. With President Trump’s encouragement, more member nations are paying their fair share for the common defense in the NATO alliance.

9. Signed the Veterans Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act to allow senior officials in the VA to fire failing employees and establishes safeguards to protect whistleblowers.

10. President Trump kept his promise and appointed Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Trump: Apple should build 'their damn things' in US
Jessica Hartogs, special to CNBC
Published 6:12 AM ET Tue, 19 Jan 2016 Updated 8:28 AM ET Tue, 19 Jan 2016

Yesterday Apple announced that they are bringing their overseas money back, building a new campus Here in the USA and investing $350 billion in our economy over the next 5 years. Oh, and giving the employees a $2500 bonus. People are going to die from the tax bill...

It's starting to really get momentum going, this fatal Trump economy, isn't it?

 

[deljzc]

It's been so much winning, the liberals don't even show up on the message board anymore....

Believe me, the economy could grow like this for the next 5 years and one hiccup or adjustment and all the liberals will come out of the woodwork and cry "temporary growth", "short sighted", "Trump's fault"....

It's inevitable there will be hills and valleys in the economy. But Jesus, 25% growth in the stock market over a 2-term Presidency is outstanding. Trump's done that in a year!

Some socialist quotes on the tax bill:

“It’s not just an ideological difference,” Schumer said. “It’s something dramatically opposite of what America needs.” - Schumer

Schumer: GOP Tax Bill Is "So, So Bad -- And The Public Knows It ..

Schumer: "Let me be clear," Schumer said during the Senate Democratic leader's weekly press conference. "This tax bill we be an anchor around the ankles of every Republican."

"If they haven't learned it yet, they're going to learn it next November," Schumer said. "Republicans will rue the day they passed this bill, and the American people will never let them forget it."

“We Democrats will not go along with a tax plan that includes a tax cut for the folks who need it least,” said the New York Democrat. - Schumer

Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said the GOP tax bill was “Armageddon” Monday night while speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill.

Pelosi: GOP Tax Plan Is "Simply Theft," Unrepentant Greed Of "Permanent Plutocracy" Is A Moral Obscenity

The #GOPTaxScam is one of the worst bills to be brought to the floor in the history of the United States. We will fight with everything we have to stop this bill from becoming the law of the land.

The Dow's 31% gain during Trump's first year is the best since FDR!

The 30-stock index has surged more than 31 percent since Trump's inauguration. That marks the index's best performance during the first year of a president since Franklin Roosevelt. "You've got lower taxes, less regulation and confidence in the economy is high," said one investor. The S&P 500 has surged 23 percent during Trump's first year in office.
