Trump III - the daily log

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

False dichotomy. There is no "bottom" for the economy to reach.

If you are Venezuela, perhaps.

[digitaldog]

Donald Trump. Jr says Obama never broke 2 percent GDP growth. He did. 15 times.

[digitaldog]

I'll translate the metaphor for you:

What is easier:

- to grow the economy from the bottom it reached and can only go up from there
- or to continue to grow the economy that is already high?

Ah. The old fall back: rhetorical answers.

[Alan Klein]

And for your further education historically on GDP:

Let's hope Trump can get those GDP growth figures on an annualized basis.  That would be great.  Wouldn't it?

And pigs flying. Hope, pray; good luck.
Had you viewed the video with attention (now that would be great) you would see how that desire is iffy at best!

Donald Trump. Jr says Obama never broke 2 percent GDP growth. He did. 15 times.

I do not know what Jr. said, but let's look at the graph. In fairness to Obama, if you exclude the 2008-2009 period, on the basis that he inherited a recession, his GDP growth rates tend to average 2% per year. He had higher than that, but also lower. Then look at the 2015-2016 period, the growth was slowing and reached under 2%. The green circle is Trump.

Worth noting is the prediction before the election that, if Trump is elected, the universe is going to implode, stock market will tank, and a huge recession would ensue.

I wouldn't waste my time watching a discussion led by Velshi on MSNBC.  All three people discussing the GDP hate Trump and the two guests worked for Obama:-  VP Biden a man who's never held a job in the business world and Jared Bernstein a left-wing economist.  I wouldn't trust them with my piggy bank.

Wrong. Again! I knew you didn’t view it before you proved you didn’t.
As for one of the three people: Kevin Hassett, the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers!

[Alan Klein]

Wrong. Again! I knew you didn’t view it before you proved you didn’t.

You're right.  I'm guilty.  I didn't watch liberals lying.  Caught again.

[digitaldog]

I do not know what Jr. said, but let's look at the graph.

I told you what he said, it's wrong. Look it up bud!

[digitaldog]

You're right.  I'm guilty.  I didn't watch liberals lying.  Caught again.

Kevin Hassett isn't a liberal, he works for the guy in DC you voted for. You're guilty of practicing ignorance however.  
Yes indeed, caught again, hence why some here don't take your writing seriously. You keep getting caught:

How do you know they are not wealthier than you?  They just might be very astute investors.

Kevin Hassett was also the co-author of a fantasy book, "Dow 36,000: The New Strategy for Profiting From the Coming Rise in the Stock Market" published in 1999.   I'm still waiting Mr. Hassett.

Yet Alan states, incorrectly that Hassett “hates Trump” and worked for Obama. An excuse for not viewing the 15 minute interview in which Alan would likely learn something about GDP from the Trump administration “source”. Sad; how did he learn anything and if he is so dismissive of data provided, why does he spend so much time getting “busted” (caught again, his admission) in this forum and less constructive time learning the topic from “his guys finance director”, let alone making images?

Knowing or not knowing isn’t a justification for some here to post.

They listed Jared Bernstein not Hassett.

Wrong again (busted) and zero excuse for digging your head into the sand and ignoring a useful video while getting the part about the people who hate trump also wrong. You're on a roll. Tip: when deep in a hole of your own digging, STOP digging. It makes you look rather foolish IMHO and here's more proof of that foolishness as now it's clear not only didn't you view the video, you didn't even read the description of the video. Enough arrows below to point your attention to the FACTS? Again sad but not inconsistent in the bubble of unreality and Conformation bias you post by:

[digitaldog]

They listed Jared Bernstein not Hassett.

Wrong and you had zero concept who Hassett was up till an hour or two ago. Now that you know who he is, maybe you'll pull yourself away from your keyboard for a mere 15 minutes and either watch what Hassett said or attempt an image capture; either will benefit you, one more than the other.... 

[Alan Klein]

I don't have 15 minutes why don't you give me a summary of the salient points.

[digitaldog]

I don't have 15 minutes why don't you give me a summary of the salient points.

Of course you don't. It would take too much time examining the data from others that might, might affect that confirmation bias/bubble you post from.

Meanwhile, nice of you to ignore that you were so wrong about who Hassett is and of course, the ridiculous, fake news, made up post you last made that his name wasn't indicted on the site I referenced. As we've seen, busted again or do you need more red arrows to adjust your attention. It appears that reality continues to ruin your life. But must you share that misery on others here in the process?
Me give you a summary? Please; I watched the video and then posted about it. Do I have to cut up your food before you chew it too?
