He obviously hasn't given many issues a second thought. He tried to answer the abortion question the way he thought anti-abortion people think and he made a mess out of it because he doesn't think that way--just pandering.
Also if he is going to respond with his tweeting finger every time an ad comes out that he doesn't like, he is going to continue going way way off message into the twittersphere and it will be nonsense he'll have to retract.
His newest 'message' is that we are going to have a massive recession that only he can save us from. Aside from the sheer irresponsibility of scaring people--is he serious? How stupid does one have to be to believe this ridiculous fear-mongering? It sounds like a threat a parent would tell their kids to scare them them. Honestly--the guy truly sounds demented at times.

Donny recently said that if abortion were made illegal that women having them would have to be punished. Less than three hours later he said those performing those abortions would have to be punished but that the women would be victims.
WHAT's the core message there besides that he really doesn't know what he thinks?

Actually - I read an article the other day in the International Business Times that stated the US may indeed be headed towards another recession. They looked at each of the candidates and their policies. The only one they thought may be able to prevent this was Trump - but noted that they weren't sure he could even pull it off as he'd need the support of the other gov't leaders.
I watched an interview he did this week. The person interviewing him seemed upset every time he had a good answer. The "newsman" wanted to dictate what he should say and found him wrong and stopped his answer several times. Trump and his message are not the problem. The problem is the bullies trying to defeat him by making sure his message is not heard by creating a confusion when they are the only ones confused. They need to shut up and listen and stop telling him he is wrong about everything because I heard a man with a lot of good answers about how America can be fixed. And that was in spite of the confusion the interviewer was trying to cause. Ask the question and then shut your mouth and listen to the answer is the polite way to interview.

We can probably find articles by 'economists' claiming everything from lurking famine to impending feasts. Has nothing to do with Donny but if the so-called 'economic experts' really knew what they were talking about would we have the wild economic swings we've had throughout our history? Wouldn't you think true expertise would figure out ways to avoid those swings?

The only article I could find in a search of the IBT is below and does not concur with the one you read. Skeptical regarding recession and no mention of Trump fixing anything. Can you post the link?
"...Donald Trump’s prediction the U.S. economy was on the verge of a “very massive recession” hit a wall of skepticism Sunday from economists who questioned the Republican presidential front-runner’s calculations...
...But a cataclysmic economic downturn originating in the United States appears to be a remote possibility.
“There is a very low probability of a massive recession, less than 10 percent,” said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University, Channel Islands in Camarillo. “If it happens, it would be because of what is happening overseas, especially in China and Europe...”

When it comes to the economy, it does not even really matter if the next president is Republican or Democrat," the investment boss said. "The economy has been in recession and boom times regardless of what political party is in power."
I 2nd the suggestion that xray731 needs to provide a link.
