Why wont people stop talking about Trump?

@WoodyAq what does gaslight mean???

@dekadory see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

The term comes from a 1938 play of that name in which a husband tries to convince his wife that she's going insane and can no longer trust her perceptions of reality.

Trump (with the help of Fox News) is doing the same thing.

Thanks for the answer but why would you use a term from 1938 that no one knows about???

Still waiting for your so called disaster starting day 1. What I see, even on your biased liberal CNN, folks are pretty happy with their 401k and their upcoming increase in take home pay.
Seriously, back up your words or you are a phoney like the rest of the liberals

@dekadory

1) I'm not a Liberal.
2) Gaslighting is a fairly well known term in modern psychology.
3) We'll see how happy everyone is when the bull market busts. Presidents can do little to influence the economy in the short-term: their influence is really only felt later on.

In non-economic matters, the damage has been done. And it is pretty severe.

Let's here from a so called non liberal, what economic damage?? Or is that going to be like global warming, we will see the results in 50 years??

Btw, I am not sure how many people are in "modern psychology industry" but I am guessing 99% of us have no idea what you are talking about but welcome to the 1% of the population lol

@dekadory No, it'll be here in 2-4 years, when the current expansion runs its course.

And when that does NOT happen, will you vote for Trump?? Let's see how confident you are. The only reason there will be a slow down in the economy if liberals get back into power and take our $$$ back since they believe they know how to spend our $ better. Not going to happen

@dekadory As things play out in the future the way they have in the past, and expose the flaws in our current approach, like it has in the past, I'm confident that Donald Trump will find a way to blame Hiliary Clinton.

But a lot in life is uncertain. So it's nice that we can always count on Trump to dodge accountability.

Not even sure of your last point, again it sounds like one of those lofty statements that liberals like to throw out but you claim your not a liberal??

Anyway , let's see if you can man up, I started this since you made the statement that Trump is a disaster from day one and I am still waiting to hear what the disaster is??

@dekadory the US has lost its position as leader of the free world, and is more internally divided as any time since the 1970s.

Let's be honest, Obama divided the nation, that's how liberal democrats win, the reason you feel this way is because you are on the side not in charge, it is no less divided than it has been for the last 2o years. The issue is the "snowflakes" and I am not saying you are one, not sure yet. But they whine and cry on social media, that's what we are seeing.
As far as the leader of the free world, no we have NOT lost our position, we are righting the wrong that Obama damaged our country when he went on his apology tour.The USA is the greatest nation in the world, not just the free world. Why do you think all these illegals are trying to get to the USA?? Africa and Europe open their arms for them but they all want to come here. We are the leaders of the world

@dekadory Obama divided the nation by being black, and a lot of people didn't like that.

But you are about world leadership. Our allies are already adjusting to a world where the US cannot be counted on.

Maybe some people felt that way not me. I made my decision based on his liberal policies

Yes I agree on not counting on us to financially bail them out anymore and I am happy about that.

@dekadory They have also stopped listening to us on most global issues. Happy about that?

Actually I do not care. As long as they do not come running to our country asking for more and more $$$, they can make what ever decisions they want. Don't you find it troubling even after they make their choices they beg the USA to follow. We are a nation of free will and should NOT be imposing our way on anyone. The problem is they all want the USA to buy their "stuff" that's where all the issues come from. We can be truley independent and hugely successful , I hope we stay that way

@dekadory that's swell. Short-sighted and foolish, but swell. US greatness was built on global commerce, but you want to follow the North Korean model.

That isn't conservatism, BTW. That's just weird.

I know you belive you are smarter than many including me however, you just showed your true colors when you mention North Korea and the USA in a financial conversation and actually think we are on similar paths.
I was holding judgement but you know have clearly demonstrated you in fact are one of the snowflakes that are actually trying to tear this country apart. Shame on you!!

@dekadory no. I'm just not a mercantilist who thinks our best strategy is to hide from the world.

Countries have tried that in the past ... all of them were eventually too weak to fight off colonization.

The countries that embrace the world are destined to lead it.

I think the US should lead.

Nice chatting with you, We both agree the USA is the greatest and the leader of the world it's just we do not agree how to to get there

@dekadory the problem is that the US is not the world leader anymore ... because of Trump.
