1. He can't. The economy can only get worse from this point forward.

Not exactly a silver lining for those who will have to suffer through it.

3. 1, I'm not feeling good about it either... its a long shot but I no doubt think they'll up the debt

... a couple of trillion spike to move to 4.5%

5. Yeah, that's what fiscally responsible deficit hawks ALWAYS do!

The GOP is not going to come out of this with a winning hand.

6. yeap, also there's this "left" behind rhetoric for rural areas and somehow Donald Putin is....

.... going to provide them the infrastructure for lasting jobs?

2. Massive deficit spending

Suddenly, republicans will become unconcerned about debt - well except for cutting anything that actually helps anybody but the wealthy.

Tax cuts and building a useless wall can keep it pumped up for a while. But when demand collapses, and he tries defaulting on the debt, we will see an epic crash.

4. He tries to default on the debt then we're proper fucked, I don't think he'll do that in any way

... or his husband, Putin, will advise him to do such and we'll know what the fuck is up

I'm still wondering how the rural vote added around 3% increase in its voter rolls since 2012

8. Republicans only care about debt and deficits...

when Dems are in charge.

9. He's already downgraded the wall

To a fence. Of course there's already a fence along the entire southern border, but why let reality get in the way?

[Wounded Bear]

7. That's kind of the point...

Most of his bullshit promises were already in effect.

Unemployment: already at historic low levels. Thanks Obama.

The Wall: already pretty much in place anywhere that it makes sense. Thanks Obama

Immigration/deportation: deportation rates have been at historic highs. Thanks Obama

The rest of what he wants to do is pretty much Repub talking points that have historically trashed the economy every time they have been enacted.

So, yeah, you're right:

He can't, that will the first telltale that America is in deep shit

10. He'll do what he always does... just stick his name on it.

And then take credit for it

11. he'll lie about it and congress will cover for him.
