What a disgrace

Do you think this is all breaking new ground? Do you think this is the first "soybean" deal they've made w/ the U.S., for example?
of course not. the Boeing deal is big, instead of buying European Airbus. Buying Qualcomm chips is big

joint fund to invest in US firms which have already or plan business operations in China. The fund plans to raise US$5 billion.


China’s Silk Road Fund and General Electric signed an agreement to cooperate in investments under
China’s “Belt and Road Initiative”, a global trade development plan.
GE investment is the Belt and Road is a good way to improve balance of payment/get into markets

What stood out in buying LNG from the US, instead of Russia. I can't figure that one out.
Maybe we are cheaper, or no pipelines?? *dunno*

Most of what you listed is business-as-usual, and was the same under Obama.

It's typical w/ you guys - just like the stock market. It goes up for 7 straight years under Obama, and the 1st increase under Trump is all "look at the market go!"

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, American exports to China measured in U.S. Dollars for the year 2017, are generally lagging behind American exports to China in the last four years of the Obama administration, 2013-2016.

these are just the beginning of new deals.
What interests me most is the Boeing sales, as well as the GE for repair and buying into the One Belt Road ..
The LNG sales are yuge.

I'm not a rank partisan who claims Obama didn't improve the economy. Credit where credit is due.

However we now have B2B 3%+ quarters, and tax reform will really increase GDP growth..

Obama did get stock market gains, but the Trump administration saw record consistent gains across the whole year!
If you weren't a rank partisan you'd acknowledge that as well.

You provided those lists as "proof" that his Asia trip was fruitful. Just smoke & mirrors, as usual.

You ARE a rank partisan - you really did nothing but criticize the Obama. It wasn't "credit where credit is due."

I'm happy w/ how the economy is doing right now - most of the credit to Trump is a boost based on investor & corporate confidence in his proposals, and in a new President. I hope it continues to do well, but I'm skeptical. Trump is in over his head in general, and his tax plan is way too skewed toward the wealthiest & corporations - the last time we did that, there was a decade+ of stagnant (as in level) wage growth for the middle class. Trickle down simply doesn't work.

no you hack.
These are some significant deals, as well as some expected.. I mentioned the SIGNIFICANT improvements.
Which is not to take away from expected deals either.

Nope. I rarely if ever criticize Obama's economics. The stimulus was uneven and had a lot of waste,but was necessary. unpaid for Medicade expansion,as well as the YUGE rise in debt ( not even addressing the entilement crunch) is where i criticize his polices..along with his atrocious foreign policy.

But I do give credit for job growth.

Tax reform is baked into that growth.
This is NOT trickle down - high rates are not getting a tax break that "trickles down" to lower classes.

It's about CORPORATE REFORM, and it's simply bringing our corp taxes down to a more normative worldwide rate.
But the middle class improves w/ a doubling of standard deductions as well as a new property tax deduction
( perfect for me,as I don't pay state taxes) - although th deductions for state and locla need to get worked out.

If the Dems would join in, we'd get better reform, but they are disinterested because of rank partisanship.
So it has to go thru reconcilliation instead
 
Were there other guys in that article you posted?

Please expound.

I’ve already done that.

The ‘one guy’ is determined to institute real reform in Saudi Arabia and you act like that’s no biggie because Trump was involved in it.

You are way far gone with the derangement.
 
Trump's continued tweeting has reached ridiculous levels. I did a google search for "Trump disgraceful tweets" and found this.

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a13859971/trump-lavar-ball/

If repubs don't impeach Trump, I'm voting for dems straight ticket from now on. I'm going "single issue voter" on this topic. No impeachment, no votes for republicans... simple as that. They can not expect us to trust them if they allowed this depth of incompetence remain at the helm. I'd rather allow liberals to enact every single dream of theirs, than continue to see in power the people who allowed Trump to disgrace the nation.

It's going to be really hard to vote for democrats, but I will do it.

Vote against the best economy we've have in decades, 70 some record DOW's, lowest unemployment, tax cuts and restoration of the US as
a world leader ?......Only in the pinhead world would that make sense....

But it's one guy, right?

What you call "derangement," I call a clear-headed view of having a hyper-insecure, pathologically lying narcissist leading the country. A guy who is very likely mentally ill.

Omg, the one guy, is the leader of Saudi Arabia.

Stop trying to minimize it, you’re looking ridiculous.
 
I love that we live in a nation now where people just say stuff. Where it doesn't matter whether there is any factual foundation at all - they just say whatever they want.

Eventually, even Trump supporters will see the downside to that. When you can't trust anything anyone says, and no one cares.

and the deficet grew by $19.947 trillion....almost double what is was when he became president....

I think that is gonna be the yardstick we measure Trump with at the end of his first term....
Its kind of dumb to make comparisons after only 10 months.....

Especially CNN....lol
 
Trump's economy - and we're less than a year in - isn't even close to the prosperity of the '90's.

You guys are as delusional as your leader.
Ridiculous to compare 10 months to 8 years ain't it....Clinton had a great run....no one can argue that...he and the Congress worked pretty much together and produced a very successful economy.... (like Reagan and his Congress did...)
even if he did personally disgrace himself and his office at the time....

unbelievable..Mohammad bin-Salman is the Crown Prince
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_bin_Salman#Crown_Prince

Yet these are far-off concerns. Within Saudi Arabia, MbS enjoys the wide support of young Saudis, who finally see in him a ruler who looks and sounds like them and understands the changing world. The Crown Prince’s ambitious Vision 2030 project, which is supposed to pull the Saudi economy away from its dependence on oil, was popular among those who hoped it would generate jobs commensurate with the qualifications they had gained on government-funded scholarship programs abroad. But restructuring the Saudi economy has proven harder in practice than on paper, due in part to vested economic and political interests that have resisted measures to employ more Saudis in the private sector or reduce energy subsidies. The anti-corruption campaign may thus be a popular move if it leads to improved job prospects for Saudis, regardless of their background or connections.

King Salman will play the role of the queen of England. He will only keep the title ‘Custodian of the Holy Shrines.’”
