    Trump seems to be having an enjoyable day so far.

    SNL wasn't new, so Alec Baldwin couldn't ruin his week and make him SAD!

    Trump has guaranteed an increased product cost (Chevrolet can choose between increased labour costs, or indirect costs via the border tax). To offset this and still have a net gain or no-change scenario, Chevrolet will have to increase their volume of sales or their price to the customer. Needless to say, it's unrealistic to expect this to induce an increased volume of sales, so they'll have to increase their price, which you don't need to be an economist to say should have an adverse effect on volume.

    In other words, because of the reality Trump is imposing on Chevrolet, he's creating a scenario that by default is unfavourable to the company, most likely unfavourable to its customers, and all masked as a positive through patriotism.

    blows me away that trump supporters can't see this. all they see in their eyes is "jobs! jobs! jobs!". what happens when those businesses go under for good because they can't sustain the profit loss due to increase prices (and probably large increases). either the american people are going to have to be ok with no affording their favourite things, or workers are going to have to be ok with lower wages, wage freezes, layoffs, etc, etc.

    he has promised them a massively unsustainable economy. it was brought up during the debates, that most experts don't see his economic plans as viable, and some even went so far as to say it was dangerous. people bought it anyway.

    make america broke again.

    I wonder who this idiot is going to blame when his policies tank the economy and/or the employment rate.

    Wait until he promotes Boss Baby.

    Fitting title for Trump.

    Oh good, a president who spins his own conspiracies instead of the media needing to do it based on partial information.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I like how he spelled out 11. Interesting choice for a tweet even by his low standard. Anyway, I can only imagine what he means by general news conference. Does that mean he pre-records a message and answers questions he pulls out of a hat submitted by his supporters. I picture something like this:

    Don - Becky from Wichita wants to know how I'm able to create so many jobs. Thanks for the question Becky. It's all about making America great again and that's what I'm going to do. Next question....

    couldn't he at least use Facebook instead of Twitter? wtf is the idea behind limiting thoughts to 140 characters anyway?

    He is precise and succinct.
    Touches all w/ less.
    Time for the Dems to explain how he won not him.

    more people use facebook. and it is a much richer environment for communicating and perhaps even policy making.

    do we really need to go over it again?

    -divisive politics
    -fear politics
    -extreme over confidence by Hillary and her staff
    -perception (true or not is irrelevant) that hillary is corrupt
    -dems in power for 8 years previous
    -people actually (very naively) believed his "drain the swamp" tagline
    -stupid and/or apathetic public who take all statements at face value instead of doing their own research
    -many other factors that have been explained ad nauseum
