Unfair, inaccurate that. This is major dick up. One for which the reigning admin will not be forgotten or forgiven.

If the tariffs initially announced at 50 -- 100 pct had been implemented as promised, we would be looking at a very different economy right now. But it's impossible to prove a negative...
Correction, you mean that the threat of high tariffs caused the other countries to come to the table to negotiate deals hence no longer the need for 50 to 100% tariffs.

Don't forget the Devastation that Obama did in the Horn of Africa, Mali, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq. We were busy as bees working in the JOC when Obama was in charge. We were literally dropping bombs as fast as we could produce them.

Obama to Trump: "Hold my beer". freaken hypocrite

Everyone knew he existed, even the “idiots”. Starting a war with no clear goals, no measures for progress, without thinking thru the ramifications, and no exit strategy - now that’s the greatest trick of all. We sure are doing a lot of bombing all across the globe. What happened to no new wars?

Weird, I don't see Iraq or Afghanistan on that list.
Where was AQ based and who was protecting them, even after 9/11? Radical Islamist organizations recruit from many Islamic countries.

You over-estimate the voters. If he can somehow pull this out in a few weeks, and oil prices settle down over the next few months voters might actually forget and move on to other things. But time is running out for sure. Not really sure Trump cares though, HE is not on the ballot. Although if he loses the senate he could end up dealing with impeachment fun (senate flipping is still a long shot based on fundamentals in the possible swing state).

You’re forgetting one crucial factor though…the DNCs amazing ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory…

Oil futures prices might settle down but it will take awhile for Diesel and jet fuel to settle down. November is already toast
