Graft, definitely; fiscal policies, not so much. It was Reagan who was the 1st Republican to nearly completely ignore the deficit (voodoo economics).
I wouldn't say he "ignored" it.

Context is important, and while I'm not going to defend the entirety of the situation, it's far more complex than "but he ignored it." And Reagan - who wasn't anything resembling an intellectual - wasn't dumb enough to pull this tariff nonsense.

And now we have yet another one - proof that this guy IS the delusional center of his own delusional universe.

It seems Trump announced he was throwing out a first pitch at a Yankee game and then canceled it.....and it turns out he was never even asked to do it.



Just wait......his next excuse will be he was assured he was throwing it out by George Costanza, the assistant to the traveling secretary.....

more proof that he is a petty, pathetic little man. He did this because he was jealous that Fauci got to do it

wake up sheeple, that's just what the mainstream media wants you to believe
"It's not a lie if you believe it."

I'm convinced that Trump WAS Costanza. Think about it.

1) He was from Queens.
2) He lied about his test scores.
3) He has a temperamental father.
4) He's a poor business negotiator (like when George wanted more money for the sitcom and wound up taking half)
5) he denies being a white supremacist (like when George was O'Brien in the limo)
6) he pretends to be devout when it suits his purposes (though not Latvian Orthodox)
7) he's scared of women
8) he wasn't very good in his real estate job
9) lacks empathy - including when people near him die
10) is the kind of guy who would buy a cashmere sweater with a red dot on it at a discount
11) when he has hair, it's fake
12) pretends to be a great builder (or an architect)
13) creates fictional people to try to advance (John Barron meet Art Vandelay)
14) would succeed better if doing the precise opposite of his instinct
15) has a fantasy of dating a woman who doesn't speak any English


There's probably more, but I'd have to rewatch a few of the old ones.

Yeah he 'ignored' it. Maybe not 100% ignored but for all practical purposes it was ignored. He severely chastised David Stockman, his OMB director for bringing up the truth about it.

Mark Esper, US Defence Secretary, cast the decision as a way to “enhance deterrence against Russia” and strengthen Nato.
