Trump Says His Economic Policies Made Wives Regain Respect for Their Husbands: 'Darling...You Are the Most Incredible Financial Mind'
By Harriet Sinclair On 11/5/19 at 4:39 AM EST


President Donald Trump has suggested that America's marriages are benefiting from his economic policies to the extent that people have regained respect for their partners.

Speaking at a rally in Lexington, Kentucky on Monday night, Trump performed his usual rigmarole of lashing out at the Democrats over the ongoing impeachment inquiry, and slamming the "fake news" media, as well as discussing 401k plans as they related to marital bliss.

"Think of this - in the history of our country, it's never done better," he said of the economy. "And by the way, that's not rich, that's not poor, that's for everybody. Your 401ks, how you doing? Pretty good right, pretty good.

"People tell me that their wives, their husbands all of a sudden they've been running the 401ks for years and they totally lost respect for, let's say the husband, totally lost respect—now they think he's a financial genius because he's up 74 percent. She says: 'Darling I love you, you are the most incredible, brilliant financial mind.

"And you know what, if the Democrats get in that's not going down by 50 percent, that's going down to nothing, it's going to be worthless, it's going to be worthless. You'll have a depression the likes of which you've never seen. Mark my words. But hopefully we don't have to even think about it," he added.'

His left-over followers are getting progressively dumber which allows Trump to further reduce the quality of his bullshit.

Soon all he'll have to do is to make grunting and belching sounds.

either he'll be impeached and out of office or he won't win in Nov 2020. He also knows that his tax cut, tariffs with his reckless economic plan will result in a recession or depression for the next president. So right now he's setting up his base deplorables with who he will blame for the downturn. He's putting it on the Dems.

Right now the Dems should talk about the effects of Trump & the Repugs economic foibles so that when things go south - the people will know who really is at fault.
