Only on C-D can “elite” be used as a pejorative.

Does an “elite state” imply residents that are wealthy, educated, healthy, employed?

You almost got it right, but I think Russian PR shills is more accurate

Only a partisan fool could not see it.
Trade imbalance? The US is blowing China out of the water with agriculture and its supply high-value and high-profit services while China has a big advantage in exporting low-value and low-margin consumer goods that benefit every American consumer. If you take into account services the value-adding to goods, the trade imbalance is negligible (not that trade balance is a good measure of economic success anyway).

We don't need to correct this perceived "imbalance" by trying to force our way back into the menial manufacture of textiles and cheap plastic goods. You've been had.

Trump amends himself: "I mean, 10 parts!"

This is clearly a fanciful, counterfactual and ridiculous scenario. Why? Because it presumes that Trump would acknowledge a higher source of truth and knowledge, than his own.
Post of the day! Long live Mel Brooks!👍
Ask Trump .... it's good to be the king ....

Wow, just an incredible Presidency. America is just so honored to have a commander and chief and President Trump.

This is just so far in the most productive Presidency in history. The best is yet to come in the 2,142 days.

I and a vast majority of Americans who don't reside in overcrowded, liberal, elite states cherish every moment of President Trump in the oval office.

President Trump is the most results oriented world leader any country has ever seen. So many accomplishments and the best is yet to come.

Here are some of President Trump's accomplishments that he has delivered through his hard-work, determination for the American people.

-284,000 new manufacturing jobs in one year

-eliminated 12 regulations for every new one, eliminated 22 regulations for every new one

-33 billion deregulation savings

-withdrawl from Paris Agreement that would have cost millions of jobs

-12 billion for farmers he faced unfair retaliation

-expand sale of gas with 15% ethanol

-tariffs on 250 billion Chinese goods

-first time we are a natural gas exporter

-ended war on coal

-expanded association health plans

-6 billion to help fight opiod epidemic

-arrested 158,000 illegal aliens

-increased removals of illegals to 256,000

-73 billion for the VA

-removed, suspended and demoted 4,300 VA employees for poor performance

-two supreme court justices
Looks like somebody's dyed in the wool Trump-supporting, only Fox News watching uncle has learned to cut and paste from an email.
