Congratulations Poland . . .

A week ago, Bozo cancelled his trip to Poland to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II.

Bozo's reasons for cancelling the trip were because hurricane Dorian was approaching and he wanted to stay home and "make sure the federal government is prepared for a looming hurricane headed for Florida".

Well, it's quite clear judging by recent events that Bozo didn't exactly add any value to the hurricane effort . . . in fact, all Bozo did was panic the people of Alabama into abandoning their homes after making a mistake on Twitter and then, because he couldn't admit to his mistake, he doctored a weather forecast report and lied about which areas might be affected. So much for making sure everyone was prepared!

What Bozo did do was play golf instead and on the day of the commemoration (Sunday September 1) Bozo was asked if he had a message for the people of Poland . . . given that he had chosen to play golf rather than attend the commemoration as scheduled . . . and Bozo's reply?

"I just want to congratulate Poland. It's a great country with great people." 

"Congratulations"? For being invaded by the Nazis and losing more people in the war than any other country? Bozo thinks congratulations are in order?

Indecent obsession...

You don't congratulate a country on the anniversary of it being invaded by a foreign power. Its customary to have a day of remembrance for all those who suffered and those who lost their lives during the days of Nazi and later Communist occupation.

Congratulations would be more appropriate on the anniversary of the countries liberation or the end of a dark period in a countries history.

Another gaff from the current POTUS but at this stage most countries around the world have stopped caring and are just waiting for the day he's out of office so they can go back to having normal relations with the US.

Normal relations = exploiting in most cases....the world will probably never be "normal" again...too many sheeple woke up to the BS.

Tax cuts are good for business, as is reduced interest rates - but it means less public service- that is funded by tax.

The richest people in any country always want to cut public services as they do not use them. So reducing tax does increase production and the private sector profit, but given America has a massive amount of debt - there has to be another way to increase revenue- while also maintaining public services.

Trump has implemented quick wins, but what is his long term strategy.

If anyone made a radical change, it will have short term benefits. However, over 8 years it might not be the case. Otherwise, the best option would be to have no interest rate, or tax. 

Trump is not as disliked as the media portrays. The media is disliked to that level. Perception versus reality. 

Trade deficit = exploitation. 

Not paying your full dues to NATO is exploitation. 

If the USA impose tariffs, it's bad and a trade war, if thd other countries does it', it's supporting their industry....you can't make this BS up...and people lap up this non stop propaganda?

China has been exploiting the whole world for decades. They have a very bad record when it comes to human rights and environmental issues, in fact, probably the only good thing you can say about them is that they are hard working. If Trump does not stand up to them now, they'll probably rule the world in a decade or 2....and trust me, they will be much worse than the Nazi's....yet nobody else seems to notice.  China pays a lot of people in a lot of countries and a lot of publications to report favourably on them...and they probably meddle more in the US elections than the Ruskies.

Like I said, Trump is doing the world a favour...

China do as they please and they get away with it because they pay off politicians all over the world...there are more than a few nervous politicians in the USA ATM. ..including the Clintons...money is tempting and China had lots of it to throw at politicians and journalists, even have university professors spreading their propaganda here in South Africa....

Of course tax cuts is good for business. When businesses pay less tax, they can invest in their infrastructure which means more spending which means more income to the other businesses they buy from. It also means they make more money on which they pay tax. The tax rates are lower but the physical amount of taxes rises due to increased economic activity. Ultimately it boils down to increased income for businesses which leads to higher employment. That is exactly what happened in the UK. Lowered tax rates lead to higher employment as well as more pounds and pennies in taxes being collected. The same thing happened in the USA after Trump brought in the tax cuts.

Economics 101. Did these lefties who want to tax the rich to death not pay attention in class? 

Both the Dems in the USA and Kommisar Corbynov in the UK seems to sing from the "Raise Corporate Taxes to 70%" hymn book.  

@Ceradunce, the people that decide interest rates in a country have 101 in Economics, they are typically some of the best financial minds in their country. 

Trump wants to override their recommendations and reduce interests rates. This is usually only done during recessions to give the economy a short term boost- like the 2009 recession. 

A country in massive debt like America, should not be reducing interest rates unless it is absolutely essential- like the last recession. The economic collapse in 2009-2011 was also known as the credit crunch.  Too low-interest rates turn money into monopoly cash and are not the true value of money. So the irresponsible lending (not based on collateral) is what crashed the economy. 

I favour having lower tax rates, but I do realise that governments also need money from tax- and that interest rates cant be low all the time. Otherwise, why have interest rates at all? 

Some places in Europe have Corporate tax at 33% of profit, which equates to around 17% of their annual revenue that is own to the taxman. The UK is lower at 20% of profit, which equates to around 10% of revenue.

Trump wants the banks to reduce interest rate so that he can pump more money into the economy to get short term gains so he can win the next election. This will increase the massive debt that America has, when a plan should also include reducing this. 

Trump has got the short term gains of reducing tax to corporations. Now he also wants to reduce interest rates- to get the short term gains.

Thanks Moz, Draad and Windpomp for their efforts to educate these financial illeterates. 

Thought Stavs absurd comment about other countries not exploi ting the loopholes the treacherous former presidents provided was a priceless display of ignorance. 

Trade deficit with China 500 billion dollars per annum. Roughly same amount in stolen IP. 

Mexico 100 billion deficit per annum. 

Europe 150 billion US per annum. 

Total deficit from trade over 800 billion a year. 

Stav is so ignorant its painful to look at the halfwits posts. 

To think these clowns, dispite everything, still want to have a go at Trump over the US economy proves beyond doubt they are consumed by TDS. 

 Hahahahahahaha

The  aliens  would not want to deal with Trump, Putin or the Chinese Communists - because they  would demand reasonableness and a fair discussion that protect the interest of humankind,   Obama would have peeled over and suggest that the world is ready for alien rule and that all leaders would accept such rule if they are paid high enough bribes and can continue to live in luxury,

Obama is enjoying life now - being able to buy a $28 million property with money he got from where?  That is after he bought a $8 million mansion near Washington.          

Book deals and Netflix documentary deals...legal "payback" for services rendered?
