    You’d have to be a special type of moron to trust Trump on the economy. Or anything else for that matter.

      Besides the fact that macro- and microeconomics are vastly different, his multiple bankruptcies should give you ample evidence that economy is the last thing to trust him on. It’s amazing how little facts matter, and how many people take him at his word. I never realised ActLikeYouBelong would work on this scale, but apparently just claiming you’re a genius billionaire is enough for millions of people.

        One of the geniuses in /conservative kept trying to say that Trump never declared bankruptcy; it was his businesses that were bankrupt.

        It’s almost hilarious how far they’ll stretch to defend Donny Dipshit.

        That’s what the GOP has been doing for decades. Insisting that they’re the party of fiscal responsibility despite the fact that they’re just not good at managing the economy.

        I would assume the inability to complete a single sentence would be a tell way before you get into the skill carryover between micro and macroeconomics. But then we’re way past being surprised that anybody could look at this guy and go “ah, behold, a functional candidate to elected office”.
