Trump's nickname.

It seems you're willing to accept a lot from Trump in order to get what you want politically. That's the problem. The fact he blatantly lies constantly is acceptable. The fact he treats women like pieces of meat and brags he can get away with it because he's a "celebrity" is acceptable. The fact he is a bully is acceptable. The fact he believes Putin over his own intelligence agencies is acceptable. The fact he is an extreme narcissist is acceptable (and please don't tell me he hasn't been diagnosed as an extreme narcissist). The fact he has alienated our closest foreign allies, while praising Kim Jung Un and Putin, is acceptable. The fact that he enjoys humiliating people is acceptable to you. The fact he encourages people to commit violence is acceptable to you. The fact he encourages bigotry and racism is acceptable to you. The fact he deliberately encourages divisiveness in the country is acceptable to you.

Exactly what would it take for you not to find him acceptable?

That is what is scary. They are willing to accept permanent damage to Democracy in the US in exchange for some Tax Breaks and a Supreme Court seat. Disgusting, really.
Irony is it might backfire. The GOP mights be so badly damaged that the idea of adding a couple of seats to the Supreme Court (which Congress can do) just to counter balance the Trump appointees might be popular.
In fact, I am about ready to accuse some here of just plain hating democracy, and wanting some kind of rule by a wealthy elite.

By 'here' do you mean the USA? In which case, yes obviously, this is the core of the 47% argument. Not a new problem... Philosophy question, is this what they called the Platonic Corruption? ie: rejecting pure democracy citing a belief that the little people are not competent, so arguing for an elitist restriction on who could vote and who could run for office
 
After his statement that the SEC would collapse in case he would be impeached, Chantecler seems appropriate.

According to a play written by French author Edmond Rostand Chantecler is a rooster who is convinced that his crowing causes the sun to rise.

Did I miss something? SEC? I know he said the market would decline, but I can't find any specific reference to the SEC.

In his latest statement Trump threatened to plunge the world into darkness by closing his eyes and keeping them shut.

You won't. They've not really been relevant since they let TAMU in.

/s

I assume it was just a bad reference to the markets.

Makes sense. Which, actually, I think is possibly true, hard to predict. Could go either way. His policies have been both bullish (tax cuts, deregulation) and bearish (tariffs, pro-inflationary).

We're reaching the end of the 2009-onward Obama recovery; I predict it will level off for awhile and fluctuate up and down normally, a slight correction when anticipated windfalls from overseas tax amnesty and trickledown does not materialize... is entirely possible within the year. Curious to see how the administration spins it.

Inflation is heating up. Hence interest rate hikes.

Yes, what I mean is that while the independent fed is trying to manage inflation, his administration is pro-inflationary in that he is criticizing the interest rate hikes. He demands low interest rates, which will further exacerbate inflation.

I'm not sure why he is asking the fed to hold off on interest rate hikes. Just speculation, but I bet it affects his loans, he is likely highly leveraged.

Wow, you are quick. I posted that based on my perception of raws at work. Current fed guidance looks like inflation is levelled off. Hopefully that carries over to the raws we use...
