Do you believe that Trump has integrity?

If you know the future you wouldn't be here - you'd have bet on a couple stocks or real estate and made enough that politics don't concern you.

You don't see a drip drip of each person that loses health insurance, finds out their plant has closed, finds the coal mine bankrupt, files for bankruptcy due to medical bills, etc????

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The share of Americans without health insurance rose for the first time in a decade last year and U.S. household income barely rose, according to a government report on Tuesday"

Remember, it was a very tiny percentage of people who were fooled into thinking that he actually might do SOME of what he promised (economically). Now they know for sure.

No one can predict the future but my take is that, short of a 30K+ stock market and some amazing BS (health insurance for more, etc.), his positives will never go above 45%. More likely - given current trends - it would stay closer to 40%.

Being as these issues are big time in the particular states that matter
PA
OH
MI
WI
FL

It would seem a tough path for Trump. Incumbency is one thing.....and all bets are off if we have a major war or something like that - but Trump would have to win at least 4 of these states to make a good go, let alone defend states like AZ and even GA.

Polls mean diddly squat.

2016 was a prime example.

Funny thing, that.

Trump who stole a coat of arms for his property, replaced the word integrity with Trump.


But I guess that's just fake news, right?

Correction: 80% of the media just reports the news.

20% of the media licks tRump's boots and refuses to report his many daily foul-ups. Matter of fact, they slag all over the legitimate press for covering reality.

Just stay tuned to Fox News, Infowars, Breitbart, National Enquirer and hate radio to get the tRump-friendly non-news.

Trumplings will be much happier that way.

Thanks for the most ridiculous thing I've seen on the internet today!

What is "the media" to you? CNN? MSNBC? Even network nightly news is biased.

Same as it is for everyone. TV, radio, print, net.

The ones with journalists are biased towards reality.

The ones with hyperpartisan dropouts are just right wing opinions. See above.
