His nutsos will say "You know what he meant, and you can';t deny the success!" And Dems will spread the message farther and wider to their own networks. There might be a method here. The benefit of amplification might outweigh the "cost" of the error.

Its because a 401k is a retirement plan for people who work for a living and he never has done that a day in his life any more than he's bought a gallon of milk.

has been artificially stimulated. Trump gave corporations and the rich 1.5 trillion dollars, then the Fed chipped in another 2 trillion. When farmers lost their markets because of Trump's tariffs he simply gave them billions of dollars, more money than was given for the auto bailout.
Anyone ask Trump how our deficit and debt are doing? I think our deficit is up to 1.2 trillion under Trump. Didn't Trump campaign on balancing the budget, on eliminating the deficit? He's only 1.2 trillion dollars short of eliminating the deficit.

Give me a million dollars and then ask me how I am doing economically.

He is scheduled for a campaign rally today. It will be interesting to see if he still has mumble mouth and what other words he mixes up.

Orange you glad the media has not mentioned his slurring speech?

But 2017 owes more to Obama, since nothing Trump did, tax cuts etc, took effect until 2018.
Since 2018 it is up about 12%, that is nothing to brag about.

Trump might well have access to secret funds that the normal people of America don't, and if that is true, he must disclose what these funds are and how much he has with them?
