Do you really believe King Trumpy is going to build a wall? Neither party wants a wall and you think King Trumpy is going to just decree it?? Really??

Congrats Responsibility2nd, you all got the trifecta today with Trump. I will give you that.

Eh, don’t worry. Trump will walk it all back in a few hours. Then it’s all good again, right?

Do you think the Cult is starting to open their eyes and look around today? Some of the more honorable ones are deathly silent while the noobs are defending Trump’s platform as ‘common sense’, that’s the trumpword of the day.

I'd bet you $100 bucks he legalizes the "good ones" without sending them back, without building the wall, and without billing Mexico a penny.

Better than no chance at all with defeaTED.

Trump Supporters: I don’t believe in raising taxes on the wealthy.

Trump: I believe in raising taxes on the wealthy.

Trump Supporters: I believe in raising taxes on the wealthy.


For a bonus quiz.
Who said the following:
“Right now, everybody’s so pinched that business is bad for everybody. And I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

.... Well ... to be honest we are not supposed to listen to what Trump actually says ..... We are supposed to listen to what his interpreter says when the damage control starts.

... And don't forget .... He is just like Reagan!! .... Well ... after his interpreter has qualified all of his statements that is ....

.... But YUP .... the second coming of Reagan!! And like it or not .... He is the presumptive nominee.

Well, he cuts taxes on everyone in his official tax proposal so have no idea what he means here.

Now all that is left for him to do - is to define the “rich” And define how much.
If he is like the rest of the Dems - he will define “rich” down to what I consider middle income.
I hope he doesn't go after a one time tax on ASSETS. Nit income , but ASSETS. He did propose that when he flirted with one of his previous Presidential flirtations - with a Reform Party run in 1999.

“Trump’s tax plan has been on his site for months, for all to read: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/tax-reform.";

Ummm...

Did you happen to notice his statement contradicts his tax plan. His tax plan calls for a top rate of 25%. It makes no mention of taxing the “rich”!

Trump just today:

Tax the rich
Transgenders Should ‘Use the Bathroom That They Feel Is Appropriate’
Illegals must go through a process

Remind me again how Donald is different from Bernie or Hillary?

If tax rates were lowered economic activity would increase and tax revenues to the government would increase. Isn’t that what Reaganomics was all about? If Trump is saying that the rich would pay more incomes taxes at the lower rates he is correct.

It’s crazy. It is rather amusing to see them tie themselves into really tight knots supporting the Donald, just like Obama supporters did.

If tRump wins, conservatives will, once again, have know party and the GOP will go back to being the minority party in both the House and Senate like they were for so many years.

The next few months will certainly be interesting.

Yea, so much huff and puff talk about building the wall and making Mexico pay. That is water under the bridge and will never happen. Was it not vincent’e fox who told donald to “F” himself.

Even Donald knows now that was just a hurry up and buy “used car salesman” ploy. Got a bunch of people riled up thinking there was a good deal down on the corner car lot.....

His official tax proposal was written by his handlers and put on his web page. He needs to review it from time to time before he answers questions about it....

Problem is leaving the progressive income tax system intact for the next Democrat to go right back to where we are now, crony.
