He won't be able to ride one though.

Not sure if he can be a passenger on a Harley. I doubt it.

Up 116 (decimal dust) and you're celebrating?

Put a minus sign in front of that “decimal dust” and leftists act like the market is about to crash.

No, but when the market drops 600 points in a day some people take notice.

In every group, "some people" aren't so knowledgeable, so that makes sense that they might "take notice" of such a low impact event, but be reactionary to what they are led to believe is a big scary number.

600 points on the DJIA is about 2.3%. Anyone who thinks the markets are collapsing and decides to "take notice" over a 2.3% swing has their money invested in the wrong place. They should be in fixed income equities if a 2.3% swing in a day is something worthy of "taking notice" of.

Are you equating "taking notice" of a 600 point drop with thinking "the markets are collapsing"? Now "bowels in an uproar" might equate, but "taking notice"?

No more then YOU!


Our economy is BOOMING due to the tax cuts AND getting rid of useless govt regulations which SPURS business GROWTH.

"Late last year, in a Miami conference room, a consultant for President Trump’s company said business at his prized 643-room Doral resort was in sharp decline."

As I have said many a time, you truly have to try hard to turn as much Gold to Poop as the POTUS and his family. They are business wreckers....and now nation wreckers. Yet some think this is "success"....

After all in the best economy EVER, a top notch resort should be doing better, right?
It is a real shame you want to BLAME Trump , when he is NOT RUNNING ANY OF HIS BUSINESSES.

TDS is SEVERE in some!

"Eric Trump — the president’s son who runs the business day-to-day — rejected the idea that the Trump brand is damaged. “This story is completely senseless,” he said in a statement. “Our iconic properties are the best in the world and our portfolio is unrivaled by anyone.”

Gee, someone who is ACTUALLY involved, disagree with an unknown tax consultant NOT involved in the business.


Gee the Wash Post doing a NEGATIVE story about trump. Whoda' thunk?

He's usually in the wrong place at the wrong time. Kushner too - who bought a White Elephant in NYC that broke him (except for being bailed out recently by foreigners)....just before the Great Recession.

Now Trump invests in Golf....just at the time it becomes evident that people don't want Golf as much anymore. What's next? Will he invest in NASCAR?
" (let's face it, he never had to work a day in his life)", and you were right at his died EVERY ONE OF THOSE DAYS in order to make such a knowledgeable claim. I think NOT.

Do you really think he just sat at his desk all day looking out the window and all those deals just happened all by themselves?

All those hotels and golf course got built WITHOUT him? He just cloesd his eyes and wished them there.

TDS has gotten really bad!
