If you've listened to the news this evening you  know that Obama has closed the Russian embassy here and other places they have occupied, including a couple in Maryland, and given them all notice to leave. And that's not all. There are allusions to other covert actions Obama has already taken or will take. 

That got Trump's attention, so he's decided he will go to a Security Briefing next week.

Miss a meeting, miss a lot!  :biggrin:

He already has had a POSITIVE impact on our economy.  Consumer Confidence is at it's highest in over 15 years....so we are starting to "see" and he has yet to be sworn in.

This is such bullshit; consumer confidence has been climbing for years.  :rolleyes:

How wonderful Trump was as a business man...

In 1976 when Trump was starting his career, he said he was worth about $200 million, most of which came from his father.  Had he put that money into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he'd be worth twelve billion today rather than the $4 billion Forbes estimates.  Working your ass off to lose $8 billion that you would have had if you'd done essentially nothing does not make you good at business.

I think this is well said:

"The post-election Trump trade has breathed new life into the equity markets," Tom Stringfellow, president and chief investment officer at Frost Investment Advisors, wrote in a research note last week. "Time will tell whether or not the Trump rally continues, but up through this past week's end, this unexpected rally has now become the biggest post-election rally on record."

First of all, I think your facts are wrong...I googled it, that 12 billion would have been more like 2 billion...but who's counting?

The bottom line is, that Trump hired thousands of people across this land during his business career....he built several "things" that were highly successful.... He played a HUGE part of New York City's economic status as we know it today... He also had an incredibly successful career as a businessman as a TV producer and a media personality.....as well as raising a wonderful family....and to top it all off, he took his business savvy and became President of the United States....I think, you are just having sour grapes and cannot admit that he is an extremely sharp man.

  Henry, I have always want to know something from a person who really knows what it feels like.   :yes: :think:

  What does it feel like to be crazy and out of their fucking minds?  :think:

I am.  If you were a thinking man, which of course you are not, you would have looked at the increases in indexed funds over that time period and found a source to calculate compounded interest like I did (several sources) and figured out for yourself that the $12 billion number is actually pretty conservative.  Fell free to continue to make an ass out of yourself with your ignorance.

QuoteThe bottom line is, that Trump hired thousands of people across this land during his business career....

Blah, blah, blah...many of whom were either never paid or certainly not paid what they were entitled to based on their original agreement.  People who've lived their lives doing much the same on a smaller scale would certainly never understand.   :rolleyes:

                          Just like I said in the past. :wait: You can't trust or have faith in a lair.   :yes:

                                              Donald Trump is a liar and a con man! :trustme:

Happy New Year everyone!  Watching the Ohio St/Clemson game (go Ohio!), wings will be ready soon, and a toast to the New Year with a cold beer.   :HNY:

Those of you seeking to hide away from 2017 via a change in venue, take a look at this shack for sale in Chicago, Il.

One of the landmark Mansions of the grand old city, it was paid for by Oscar Mayer in Evanston IL during 1901. He didn't move into it until 1927 though.

For a cool 2.95 million it can be yours! (Beware though; Illinois does not have that 1% property tax cap!)  :biggrin:
