Why do you think there are constant fake news memes about her? If she weren't Popular-vote President she'd be completely ignored.

Actually more and more Dems have been ignoring her, or telling her to stop whining and blaming everyone else for her loss. Bill Maher told her to go back into the woods! She seems to be an embarrassment to them :tongue:

Very interesting interview by Maria Bartiromo and Hillary's campaign manager, creepy John Podesta (aka Podesta the Molesta). You remember him, the idiot who gave his password to a phishing email so all his emails wound up at Wikileaks? Where we all could read how he and his staff made fun of Hillary and thought she was incompetent? Maria is one tough, New York City Italian broad who doesn't take **** from anyone!

It's the Republicans who realize she's still a force to be reckoned with, since she deprived their Electoral-vote President of gaining the Popular-vote Presidency as well. The Democrats aren't behind the Fake-news memes. I do think Democrats will be against her being the Nominee in 2020. (IF Trump allows the Election to be held.)

"Trump Cuts White House Budget, Saves Taxpayers $22 Million"

"There are now 110 fewer White House employees since Obama left office, saving nearly $5 million alone. Also, the First Lady’s staff has been cut from 24 staffers to only five. Michelle Obama entered the White House with a staff of 22 costing nearly $2 million annually, up from the $1.4 million spent during the George W. Bush era.

"Another area of savings was the elimination of the so-called policy “czars” with which Obama stocked the White House staff. The Trump budget shows not a single “czar” employed for 2017."


Trump, Ivanka, Jared and several members of his staff and Cabinet are taking NO salaries. Trump donates his quarterly paycheck to a charity. The first check went to the National Parks Service.

It's not about who's rich and who's not. It's about keeping interest payments on the Federal budget down, and ensuring that all Americans can at least get by, in terms of a reasonable standard of living.

The vast majority of the tax cuts, in dollar amounts, will go to the rich.

well, obviously, because they have the most money. :tongue:

But middle class folks like hubby and I will greatly benefit---and will probably appreciate it more and need it more than any of the billionaires...

And....there goes the National Debt. Also, tariffs, which he's proposing, will raise consumer prices--that's a sort of tax on the poor and middle-class. Doesn't really impact the wealthy. How would you define a "successful Presidency"? I use the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution as the standard of success.

But there is a purpose for the tariffs. Other countries have tariffs to protect their craftsman and manufacturers etc.


Here is an example of the current tariff negotiations with Canadian Lumber suppliers:

http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/24/investing/canada-lumber-tariff-trump/index.html

The lumber dispute isn't new, and it's not the first the U.S. has imposed tariffs on Canadian lumber.

In fact, it goes back decades. U.S. lumber companies started alleging in the 1980s that Canadian companies have been unfairly subsidized by their government. In 2002, the U.S. imposed a 30% tariff on Canadian softwood lumber, which Canadian firms claimed cost 30,000 jobs at the time.
Canada has consistently denied it subsidizes its lumber companies. The World Trade Organization sided with Canada in 2004 and the two sides came to a temporary agreement in 2006, which expired last October.

Despite the agreement, U.S. lumber firms continued to allege that their Canadian counterparts had an unfair advantage which allowed them to sell their lumber in the U.S. market at prices American firms couldn't sell at.

U.S. firms declared victory Monday night.
"Today's ruling confirms that Canadian lumber mills are subsidized by their government and benefit from lumber pricing policies," Cameron Krauss, legal chair for the U.S. Lumber Coalition, said in a statement.

The move came after there was no breakthrough in U.S. talks on Canadian dairy tariffs. Canada has long taxed U.S. diary products. Some U.S. milk exports, depending on the fat content, face tariffs as high as 292%, according to Canada's Agriculture Department.

The Canadian milk tariffs were grandfathered into NAFTA, one of the few areas of trade where major tariffs still exist.
=================================================

So according to our Dairy farmers and our Lumber Suppliers, Trump is doing a great job by trying to renegotiate things that have been unfairly in Canada's favor.

If you listen to CNN or MSNBC, they paint Trump as being off his rocker, just blindly demanding tariffs. But there is a method to his madness. :bandit:
