    Trump and Default

    Somebody explain this to me....

    Why is Trump all bent out of shape that McConnell stepped away from the brink on US government default? Doesn't Trump know how much of his base of older Americans with savings is tied up one way or the other in Treasury bonds, as the safest investment out there for capital preservation?

    Maybe not. And skipping out on a debt is a very Trumpian thing to do. And if those who would be hurt the most by a default are cheering Trump on instead of sending him emails to STFU, then you have to wonder about them too.

      Trump must have offended Togor in a previous life as well as this one to cause this much angst

          Trump matters because the GOP still bows before him.

          The fact that Lyman argues that he should not be discussed speaks volumes about what Lyman thinks of the GOP.

          Back to the point, can anyone explain why torpedoing via default the most secure investment available to ordinary Americans is in anyone's best interest?

            Why not answer how some things the current administration is doing is in the best interest of ordinary Americans ?
            Everything that is available costs more now.
            The border / immigration problem.
            Fuel prices are projected to be high for the upcoming winter.
            The controversy over crt.
            The Afghan refugee problem.
            Increased crime,projected spending and numerous other issues. How is any of this in the best interest of the ordinary American citizen ? I believe your explanation of these issues would be more relevant. These are issues that are going to impact many folks in one way or another. Focusing on Trump is going over old ground. Explain the CURRENT administrations plan to solve these problems. Many of us would like to feel better about the future of this country.

              you keep repeating that I don't think Trump should be discussed, yet you never seem to find a quote that shows I said that,,


              my point is he is in the past,
              is his base strong,, yep
              is he respected, revered or feared by the GOP, seems that answer depends on what faction you speak of,

              meanwhile, the selections are surely happening behind closed doors, and some will be out by this time next year, out as in advertising for the job,

              but that is in a few years,,, we got 3+ more of Biden,, so why bring up Trump every 2 posts?

              why not figure out why the current admin, and President, can't seem to get their underwear on the right way?

              you lead the way in picking everything apart that Trump and his admin did for the past 4 yrs,,, but are now silent,,,

                Giving Democrats more money is like supplying your enemy with ammo.
                Kinda like Biden did, but he's a pint short of a quart. Trump isn't.

                  Correct. Trump is an entire tub of ..it.

                    Being full of it yourself... You may continue to focus on Trump and beat a dead horse if you want. I would be interested to hear the
                    positive aspects of the current administration. It appears many ordinary American citizens,regardless of political affiliation are not feeling all that positive at present. If you have something constructive to offer,it could be a benefit to all concerned.

                      Border wall contracts now cancelled. In an effort by slo joe to destroy all things Trump, the American people are the ones suffering his dementia fueled agenda. Every thing else can go to hell as long as slo joe carries out his vendetta against Trump. Now he begs the Saudis for oil after shutting down American oil production that Trump developed.

                        It's not good practice to hinge your positivity on a political party or an "administration". That doesn't even make sense.

                          I would also be interested in be interested to hear the positive aspects of the current administration. All I read about him and his administration is negative things and his poll numbers show that!

                            don't think that was what ut1 was suggesting,

                            I think he maybe looking for someone to show what Good Biden's admin has done so far

                              Thank you for clarifying that. It's disappointing that what I thought was a valid invitation for an informed response was misconstrued. With that being said, would anyone care to answer?
