Gulliable Schumucks For Trump [View all]

Reuters reports


He wants quick approval of the proposed Keystone XL crude oil pipeline from Canada through the United States, pressure on U.S. companies to repatriate cash in offshore tax havens, and an immediate loosening of financial regulations.

“If he does those things, he will be creating jobs,” said Early, a bank officer from Annapolis, Maryland. “If he’s not making an earnest effort within one year, he’ll just be another politician.”

Like thousands in the crowd, Early wore one of Trump’s signature “Make America great Again” baseball caps, a bright red sign of solidarity in an audience overwhelmingly opposed to just about everything symbolized by the city they had come to visit.

For his part, Trump's inaugural address channeled the resentment of the white working class in an echo of his fiery campaign speeches, darkly portraying a dysfunctional country riven by unemployment, poverty and crime that he would change in a movement of nationalism and trade protectionism.


The reality is that this is very naive view of things. They believe that trickle down economics is going to help them. Well, these people are suckers. Too many suckers want MAGA but they have to realize that they are suckers and have been conned. Tax cuts and trade protectionism is not going to save your job.
