    Now go out and shop, shop, shop and see the balance on your credit card go boom – in your favour, not the credit card company’s! I guess that what cutting taxes on the rich does for you, amirite?

    That’s some very special financial wizardry. I look forward to us all retiring rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

    I’m convinced that Trump loyalists never listen to him. Never. Because when I bring up stuff like this they blame CNN for brainwashing me.

    These percentages are a large part of the reason that Janet Factor refers to Trump as the Toddler. Just random.

    Trump: Now, I’m bringing prices down 600% 700% 900% 200%

    WOW! I take that to mean that as America goes further into the reign of Dictator Donald, stuff will get flogged off on the markets for up to 900% less than its present price. So if its present price to the customer is $900.00, out it will go for $1.00, That will do wonders for the US economy, producing sweatshop working conditions worse than those in places like Shanghai in the 1930s and ’40s that did so much to bring on the Chinese Revolution of 1949. And it puts Trump into the same historical class as the ruthless Chinese dictator Chiang Kai-Shek.

    This is just like in his first term, when he said [name forgotten] would lead us into WW Six. Everyone claimed he was saying [name forgotten] would cause four more wars, but I am pretty sure it was on the same plane as this – Trump believes bigger numbers are more meaningful. He hears something, or thinks of it, and then expands the numbers to be bigger, bigger, bigger…again, toddler mathematics.

    iknklast: Toddler mathematics? Could easily be.! But though it is a bit of a stretch, it could also be that he is heavily into Occam’s Razor, so much so as to be ever in danger of hacking himself in his own backside, as he goes toddling round and round.

    What gets me is the innumeracy. Anything over 100% is shops paying you to take their goods, and would actually indicate an unprecedented economic disaster.

    Google turns up the WW 6 item. It does actually make sense within its own terms – “frankly, if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now” – meaning, we would have plowed through World Wars Three, Four, and Five already and be in the midst of Six. The “him” in question was Bolton.

    OB @ #8: Possibly. Except that WW 4 will most probably be fought with clubs and spears.

    After the next World War there will be no one left to fight except the various cockroach factions. They will probably see who can outdisgust each other. Kinda like Trump, Putin, Jong Un and Xi are doing now.
