Many times, as is the case here, he does not lie in the traditional sense of the word.

He does what he accuses the media of.....leaving part of the story out and making it about himself.

He is good at it, and as you can see represented by posters on here, they believe what he tweets, etc.

My interest here is to watch how his inactions, or other actions are twisted to be the fault of the media or Hillary Clinton.

Been doing some reading on his promises about the coal industry and his promise to bring it back.....seems even Fox has their doubts....

"With the election of Donald Trump as President, forecasters and analysts are dashing to determine how his policies are likely to affect global energy. It’s likely that his measures will benefit O oil and gas, though his consistent vagueness and apparent confusion over industry fundamentals makes that somewhat unlikely."

But where Trump has been somewhat vague on oil and gas, he’s been positively exuberant about coal. A key point in the Trump campaign’s energy and economic plan was the rejuvenation of the American coal industry. This position was a component of Trump’s broader attempt to appeal to white working class American voters. But can he deliver?"

Can Trump Really Revive The U.S. Coal Industry? | Fox Business

"Some industry analysts are skeptical that Trump can make good on his promises. Even coal advocates have some doubts over whether rhetoric can translate into gains for their industry. With so much about Trump uncertain, from his actual positions on issues to his preparedness to deliver on his campaign promises, many will simply have to wait and see."

re: apple and i phone
 

I recall reading that so much of the i phone is done by robots that labor cost does not really matter.

NIXON-we do not hear much about him except for watergate and the fact that he resigned the presidency.
WE are living with some major changes that NIXON put into action. It, was Nixon that opened up trade with China and it was Nixon who took us off the gold standard.
We actually were already buying from China. Stuff would be made in china shipped to Taiwan and come in duty free marked made in taiwan. By ending the gold standard, Nixon allowed such practices as quantitative easing,

Trump has American companies lined up at the Mexican border just waiting to relocate back to the US. These CEO's can't wait to start paying $20 per hour for labor as opposed to $4.00 per day.

[QUOTE=Guest]Oh no! Trump might be turning into a politician, heaven forbid. Kind of like Obama taking credit for the death of Bin Laden, or for our great economic recovery.[/QUOTE

Surely you realize that the call to continue the operation to take out Bin Laden was totally Obamas call. Bush had the same opportunity but backed off and let him escape. And deficit cut in half, 24 million with health insurance, unemployment cut in half, stock market thru the roof ????? Do you live in the USA ??

No ! No ! Everyone on here has it wrong !

This is an arrangement that the HRC Campaign had worked out with Ford and was scheduled to be announced by Madam President-Elect
during her historic Victory Speech on Tuesday Evening a exactly 9 PM .

[QUOTE=Guest]And President Obama has a job approval rating in the high 50%. Every time Trump opens his mouth, Obama's numbers go up. By the time he leaves office he will be in Clinton territory, high 60%.

[QUOTE=Guest]
...and don't forget that George Weasel Bush had an approval rating of 22 percent when he left office. Jimmy Carter had a 34 percent approval rating when he left office.

Liberals don't want to accept that Obama's approval ratings are due to the Bradley effect.

Short memory?

Look at all the election polls.

Apple is not coming back.

[QUOTE=Guest]50% and he didn't even do anything in 8 years. And once Obamacare is gone, his legacy will be solely based on his being the first black president. Just a footnote in a liberal history book.

[QUOTE=Guest]Yes, but has Obama or Carter ever achieved a 90%+ approval rating in their whole tenure as president? Bush did.

Approval ratings are like election polls, hardly accurate. Remember, Hillary was going to win by a landslide.

Will Trump bring back the coal industry as he assured folks he would ?

Name them then

Please,..names of these companies...one of them maybe.

[QUOTE=Guest]
W Bush had a 90% approval rating after 3000 people lost their live on 9/11/2001. That's a pretty high price to pay for a good approval rating.

His rating dropped 70 points to 22% when he left office.
