Many mainstream liberal and conservative economists said the U.S. was far too developed to sustain 4 percent annual growth and said the country’s long-term growth rate would be closer to 2 percent of GDP.

The U.S. economy grew by 2.3 percent of GDP in 2017.

The "new normal" was an umbrella for many economic indicators and their relative milquetoast performance under the previous regime . . . but always heralded as being great by the Parrots.

I guess what you don't get is that the "new normal" was heralded as being the only thing that could be achieved, so everybody just get used to it and lets make sure that regulation nation and bloated government "get theirs" before we concern ourselves with moving the economy forward.

"We're bringing [the Gross Domestic Product] from 1 percent up to 4 percent," he said. "And I actually think we can go higher than 4 percent. I think you can go to 5 percent or 6 percent."

It’s almost like this is something that lower level diplomats could have figured well ahead of this embarrassing “summit.”

Trump idolizes dictators

How many pictures of your guy gushing all over thugs from around the world do I need to post?

In terms of N Korea it’s just sad to see LibDerp Nation hoping the peace process fails.

It seems LibDerp Nation would just prefer the missiles were flying and we were on the brink of war so Trump looks bad.

Pretty sad and frankly, pathetic.

As a member of libderp nation, I personally do not want to see missiles flying.

LickNeckey · « **Reply #911 on:** February 28, 2019, 10:24:00 AM »

in favor of the peace process

believe it could be managed differently (stop hanging "mission accomplished banners"

but still see it as progress

I've always loved this topic. Libbots have an out both ways.

Trump wins: "Awesome, he's negotiating with a rough ridin' monster dictator. Disgusting"

Trump loses: "lol. He so got dunked on. Kim and Kim's sister keep stealing the show. What an alpha and what a failure for trump"

Pretty amazing strategy if you ask me.

Point one still applies to point two, fwiw

I watched the Interview the other day.

the first 30-40 minutes is pretty funny as long as you like Rogan and Franco doing their thing.

The fact that wackycat08 thinks the outcomes of the Korean peace process are "Trump wins" and "Trump loses" is a perfect example of the maga worldview.

Yikes

Nailed it, lib.

Maybe if Trump stopped thinking of everything as a zero sum game he'd stop losing all the time.

I like that trump cut the meeting short. Let that Lil dictator hang s bit in the wind.

Reason #1 The Talks are stalled: Libya

Reason #2 The Talks are stalled: Syria

Reason #3 The Talks are stalled: Iraq

Reason #4 The Talks are stalled: North Korea wants the same treatment as Pakistan and India (and Israel) get

Reason #5 (a distant 5th) The Talks are stalled: Venezuela

Reason #1 talks are stalled: dictators with nukes don’t get deposed and killed while dictators without nukes do. Kim is never giving up his nukes

I really thought this was going to be Trump's big moment to stand over KJU, stick his finger in his chest, and say eff you.

For many years, Trump has expressed curiosity about nuclear weapons. In 1984, still in his thirties, he told the Washington Post that he wanted to negotiate nuclear treaties with the Soviets. “It would take an hour and a half to learn everything there is to learn about missiles,” he said. “I think I know most of it anyway.” According to oscar G. Blair, a research scholar at the Program on Science and Global Security, at Princeton, Trump encountered a U.S. nuclear-arms negotiator at a reception in 1990 and offered advice on how to cut a “terrific” deal with a Soviet counterpart. Trump told him to arrive late, stand over the Soviet negotiator, stick his finger in his chest, and say, “eff you!”

So Trump hated the Russians before he loved them?

For Ronnie Raygun, one day it was the "Evil Empire" the next, photo ops with Gorby.

Glad we're not all monolithic thinkers like ChumDummy.
