Personally, I just don’t think they care at all. Like, no bunker stuff. They’d be like “Oh, the world is dying in 10 years? Fuck, now I gotta make the most of my money in 10 years!” kinda deal.

I don’t mean tax funds, I mean throwing away perfectly good and often expensive things just because they don’t give a shit, crying about carbon emissions while flying on their 100 million dollar Gulfstream, wasting energy on the 10+ homes they own that are constantly maintained, the “rich neighborhoods” that I once lived in don’t even have recycling cans or water waste limits despite the state being in a drought. And these are the same people telling us that it’s our responsibility to “save the planet.” What about them? Practice what you preach.

The yield curve inverted again. For a shorter time, but still worrying.
 
The fed also didn’t signal any new rate cuts, which slowed any bounceback that the market was anticipating.
 
 
The odds of a recession remain the same, but the odds of a general slowdown has increased.

Like every other mass shooter nowadays name drops Trump in their manifesto m8. The El Paso shooter went a step further and used some very Trump-esque terminology as he targeted hispanics.

Considering that high ranking members of the KKK said that Trump gave them a voice, and several recent mass shootings/prevented shootings had white nationalism front and center.
 
I’d say yes, he has emboldened them.

The asshat that came to my home city actually DOESN’T like Trump.
 
But I think it’s safe to say that if Hillary was president, he’d never even have the guts to leave his own damn house, let alone his hometown.
 
I’d guarantee you that he’d still be locked up in his house, talking about committing hate crimes but being too scared to go outside for more than a minute.

Pretty sure some of the recent mass shooters have also said that they pretty much hate Trump in their manifestos. Either way, I blame nobody but the assholes themselves.

In his Manifesto he posted before the shooting, he praises Trump as “a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose”, but not as “a policy maker and leader”.

I still find that blaming a President who is simply doing what he thinks is best for the country, for the acts of psychopaths to be ridiculous. These people didn’t see Trump get elected and just became killers as a result. They were already damaged and dangerous and can blame nobody but themselves for their sick actions. Wanting strict immigration policies isn’t what’s going to make a person kill a bunch of people.

Having the self-appointed leader of the free world constantly proclaim that immigrants are murders and rapists may slightly tilt people in a bad way; or, you know, just reaffirm their existing beliefs. And yes, constantly; the idiot’s been pushing the line that the US-run green card lottery is somehow actually countries trying to get rid of their murders and “unspeakables” by sending them to the US. Watching recordings of Trump’s rallies is very enlightening; only a tiny fraction of the complete nonsense he says makes it to the news, and what little people see may give a skewed perception that the media is cherry picking excerpts. But it’s not that. He’s “like that”, all the time.
 
Trump is racist, and xenophobic, and misogynist. And an egomaniacal narcissist. And actually really damn stupid. But because he’s a complete loudmouth and has a strongman personality, the GOP is terrified of not cowing to him out of fear they’ll lose their constituents for going against or denouncing the leader. It’s really really sad, and frustrating.

Constantly? I recall him saying that one time back in what, 2016? And if you watched the entire rally, you would see he was referring specifically to the illegal MS-13 gang members that are indeed, rapists and murderers.

Fun fact: at no point in his announcement speech – this was back in 2015, by the way – did he use the words “MS-13”, “gang”, or “illegal”, except in reference to “Obama’s illegal executive order” (DACA).
 
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
(Some MS-13 gangbangers are good people?)

Unpopular question but fuck it:
Do you believe that Trump, be it intentionally or by complete accident, has truly emboldened the Pro-White Nationalist bigots in America?
Absolutely and unquestionably. Heck, the bigots have admitted as much themselves, though they choose to phrase it differently (“restoring traditional values” and whatnot).
 
But no, this is a guy who said there were good people on both sides of a conflict where one of the sides was literal Nazis. It would be utter stupidity to think that complete failure to condemn them didn’t further embolden people with similar views, and the rising incidents of hate crimes in this country make it pretty clear it has.
 
 
@TheMagpulPone  
These people didn’t see Trump get elected and just became killers as a result.
Of course not. They also listened to his angry, factually inaccurate rhetoric and his harmful denunciation of legitimate news sources and saw his racially insensitive/misogynistic tweets and eventually concluded that a worldview they might otherwise have half believed was true to the point that action was needed.

I’d have added delusional and a liar in there for good measure, but perhaps those are self evident by this point.

Nah, the “some” are the only ones that aren’t MS-The-Only-Gang-I-Heard-On-The-News-Therefore-The-Only-Mexicans-That-Emmigrate. The majority of Mexican are gangbangers hand picked by the Obrador himself to come here! And since “thousands cross every day” you have to wonder how he has any time for anything else. Only “some” of those “thousands” are good people…and even that’s just an assumption and not based on facts!
