There has been a lot of talk about Trumps IQ-Whether he has a high, medium or low I can't say and the video say IQ is a bad measuring tool, while EQ is a much better tool.

If you really were a cake eater then you'd recognize strawberry jelly stains instead of falling for Carvilles fake news.

The economy is tanking and it's all on Trump the Greatest Waffler on the Planet. FOX is now admitting it's tanking but trying to spin it as Biden's fault but that will not fly as the months drag by.

No way, no how, The U.S. has never suspended or canceled elections ever. It would require an act of congress just to adjust the polling hrs. Hell we held national elections in the middle of a civil war.

"Up until any President does something unconstitutional you don't stop him"

The most recent news over here shows him systematically removing opponents including, it would seem, the judiciary - so who might be left to stop him? The parallels with history are just piling up now and we're becoming genuinely afraid

Quit believing the "news". For Trump to "take over" the Government, He would need 67 Senators, and 290 Congressmen in his pocket. Even with that He couldn't change the Constitution.

It's the way the system has worked for a long time. And I don't think it is possible for Trump or any President to 'create a dynasty'. Don't worry about it.

Trump can ask for an investigation" but only the House can bring charges, and the Senate decide guilt/innocence

You have to admit, the Kennedy's, Bush's, & Clintons gave it a shot though. :03:

It will be interesting to see how far the stock markets and the 401K retirement plans have to fall until the Republican party will finally realize what kind of President they have nominated a second time. The party has just begun.

But I know already who will to be blamed of: The Europeans . The Canadians ...later the Chinese...

Well, it can't be Trump or Elon. Christ, Lara Trump was on FOX saying we should be licking Elon's feet, seriously!

These people are nuts.

Trump inherited a lubricated economy: low unemployment, rising wages and consumer spending, and even inflation fell for a while. Today's pessimism is therefore mainly due to Trump's chaotic policies. Take trade tariffs. Last week, Trump introduced 25 % import tariffs on almost all goods from Canada and Mexico. Soon after, he postponed many of those levies again. Then yesterday, he announced yet another increase in import tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium to 50 %. As a result, companies cannot do any planning, as they are constantly faced with the question whether they will soon face more expensive import prices.

Sectors like hospitality and agriculture are also losing workers due to mass deportations of migrants. On the other hand, for the time being, the scrapping of the government mainly leads to chaos and fewer government contracts for companies. So businesses feel the negative effects, without getting any compensation. On Friday, investment bank Goldman Sachs announced that it estimates the probability of a recession at 15-20%. ‘A real contraction on an annual basis, I don't expect that immediately,’ says Vanden Houte. ‘But quarterly is much more volatile. So a contraction in one of the next quarters is quite possible. Especially since the real impact of import tariffs has yet to make itself felt.’
