No tax return
A letter from a quack
That's it.
Crazy right I think the whole presidential system needs looking at and fixing up
No, God has given him an amazing brain. The best brain. Look at his brain. It's huge. You'll love it.

This is what happens when a bunch of yes men build up this guys ego. Even when it's clear he has no actual skills and is actually a horrible business man.
"I want Trump to run the country like his businesses" a lot of people said...well you've got your wish ...

Just playing Devil's Advocate here, but does anyone think this might not be true? I mean this is surely basic economics (I learnt about it when I was 14), so how can this even be seen as to be verifiable?
Isn't this just simply adding to the fire in the hope that everyone sees just how stupid he is? Does anyone think this could just be BS?
I am not a Trump apologist, but surely this has to be some kind of smear?

Personally after who knows how many years of Birtherism I think whether it's true or not is not as important as the obvious evidence that the White House is currently experience a mutiny from the established staff.
But given what we know about Trump's character over the years it's probably true.
Several in this thread have already mentioned this. And yeah it is certainly possible that it is not true. However, if his mental faculties are indeed slipping, it is not out of the realm of possibility.
Given the fact that his business have continually failed, gone bankrupt, or gone to court, I would argue that he doesn't.
What he knows is putting up a front, to make people forget about all of these facts, and go in based on image. He's a snake oil car saleman. People see a man in a business suit on a well rated television show and they think he must be business savvy instead of a completely tool.

I don't know what a strong dollar is either.
I know nothing about economics, Texas was abysmal in that department. I know all about Sam Houston and Santa Anna though, so if Trump needs advice on that he knows who to call.Based on the names alone though, I'll assume a strong dollar is better.
Wow, he really jerks Gorsuch around lol. Thought he might hold him down and give him a noogie.
Being a born-a-millionare who has gone through several bankruptcies is not a sign that he knows anything about "money", if anything it shows a general lack of understanding money at all.

The impacts of a strong or weak dollar on the world economy at large is far more complex than knowing whether or not he can buy cheap foreign real estate.

because of how every news article and leak about Trump feels like an onion article or south park sketch, I can't actually tell from people who quoted me if they are being sarcastic or serious anymore

People trying to claim this is bull; the ones reporting it are credible, and if people in the WH are actively discussing Trump's mental health it wouldn't be surprising that Flynn would relay this.

This is not something you learn when you are 14. The implications of a strong or weak dollar are extremely complex. For instance, can you explain why the border adjustment proposal is viewed by many economists to likely strengthen the dollar and make imports cheaper, when you normally expect a tax on imports to make imports more expensive?

I'm pretty sure that the Republicans are waiting for the perfect opportunity to impeach Trump.
However, I wonder if Bannon is expecting this and already has plans in motion to somehow screw them over first.

It's not so bad when you think about it. If you have an import based economy a strong currency is better. If your dollar is worth more you can buy more and the cost of imported goods goes down. If you're exporting you don't want the currency to be too strong. The price will be too high for your buyers and they may go elsewhere. Or for example, if you're Trump a weak dollar will make your properties appealing to foreign investors but a strong one may price them out.I don't know what a strong dollar is either.
Based on the names alone though, I'll assume a strong dollar is better.
That's the gist on a simple level I think. It probably gets more complex than that depending on the sort of economy you have and I don't think you want to go too far one way or the other.

Does anyone else think he's been looking really tired and kinda down recently? My girlfriend said his eyes are always like that, but it's not just his eyes.
Such bullshit. They're the happiest they've ever been. They have a mad man they can use to push all of their wet dreams through. And if it fails, they can blame him. It's perfect.

Sorry but is this more fake news?
It sounds like a made up story to me.
When your only criteria for people you employ is that they always have to say positive things about you then that's the kind of shrink you end up with.

All these leaks must driven insane.
He must be paranoid all around the White House, walking in silence on his bathrobe.

It's probably actually a very complicated question but the answer, at a very basic level, I imagine, depends on whether you export or import more goods.
If you import more, you'd like your currency to both worth more than the other ones (stronger, so the same amount of dollars gets you more product). If you export more, you'd rather have a weak one, so that you get more consumers for your product (because it's relatively cheaper).
Of course, most every country does both things, so there's no easy answer.

Aside from the leak itself, which honestly isn't so unbelievable, Huffington Post shredded their journalistic integrity during the campaign. They are part of the reason nobody takes politics seriously anymore.

Yeah.. I've felt since he got sworn in and observing him lead the country.. if there is something he could get impeached for it's probably having a few lose screws in the head (if possible). He's really child-like in some instances.
Someone needs to start a show-us-your-psychiatric-evaluation campaign. Give him a taste of what his obama is a muslim baby from kenya lies is like.

that is how it works... people who were outraged when people posted "fake" bad news about Obama are now thrilled when "fake" bad news about Trump appear.
When it comes to Trump, we really dont need fake news... reality is stupid and incompetent enough.

I want to know when this picture was taken, because that's XP.
Also his doctor looks like Bannon in a beard and a wig.
GAF, what happened to Donald Trump?
and also the discussion in the Donald J. Trump elected 45th President of the United States : Page 154 (where I first saw the video link):
(click over to the post and read the replies)
(the video has been seen over 26 million times by the way)
I didn't complete watching the video. I had to stop around the 18 minute mark:
https://youtu.be/BuiW_Jagl4U?t=18m3s
I couldn't believe a 'business man' was saying such nonsense;
Donald Trump gets claim about U.S. GDP doubly wrong
(note that it wasn't a one time mistake ― No, GDP growth was not zero, as Donald Trump said in Miami GOP debate)
There's the usual republican/capitalist lies about the economy but then there are these Palin/Trump/DeVos lies where they betray a lack of understanding about what they are even lying about...
True, but even on its simplified version is still a difficult problem. As it is, the strong dollar gives the USA an almost unlimited purchasing power, but Trump is dead set on bringing the world economy down so the great lakes states get their cars plants back.
