Can we fast forward to this part of the tRump presidency?
Et tu, Papasan?
He was just making a song request.
So what you’re saying is that it’s possible then…
If you are futuring now, you know.
Well since the Pres. says we ought to, we might as well…
Typo. He meant the Press.
Has anybody actually seen trump Tweet?
He’s not wrong?
And thank God that moron can’t spell or spell check or even read apparently.
And his stats are both pretty shrug-able…
WOW there are more people in the USA than EVAR B4!!!
And they are making big moneys! if you include Richie Rich and don’t give a crap about the poor prols.
I love the IMPEACH THIS! graphic… did you know dirt can’t vote? Well, in the US Senate it kind of does, but if you make a map that adjusts the size of the state based on population (a cartogram) then the map looks much more blue than red. XKCD has a great ‘sorted for population’ US map graphic as well.
OTOH “Impeach the Pres.” I agree! It sure seems like his subconscious is just screaming to get out of the damn job and back to raw doggin pornstars and cheating at golf.
Here’s me doubting that he hasn’t kept right up at both.
If there’s one human being whom I don’t want to give the benefit of the doubt to, it’s Donald J Trump.
Let me play armchair economist for a second since clearly Trump is doing the same and try to unpack some statements here.
Firstly, median is not the same as average. And in any event breaking complicated things like income down into a single bullet point doesn’t really mean anything. The person in the very middle of the income pyramid makes more now than they did before. So what? Costs and inflation are steadily rising so even if you’re making more money you’re getting less for it.
So basically this means nothing really.
So what? People are also working more hours and more jobs to try to make ends meet. Wages aren’t going up to meet increased costs of living.
So even with more people employed and the median income going up doesn’t mean a strong economy, jobs market, or high quality of life.
We’re working on it!
Exactly.
It would seem unpatriotic NOT to impeach him now since he is asking.
