Honest to God, Trump is the worst negotiator I’ve ever seen. Even if he wasn’t paying attention you’d think he would have learned something in his 40 years of real estate wheeling and dealing. But apparently not.

Steve Mnuchin can’t quite bring himself to publicly say President Donald Trump’s fake middle-class tax cuts aren’t real, but he’s almost there.

The treasury secretary in an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday declined to comment on whether the 10 percent tax cut for the middle class the president suddenly started talking about before the 2018 midterms actually exists.

“I’m not going to comment on whether it is a real thing or not a real thing,” Mnuchin said.

Trump first floated the idea in October, telling reporters in Nevada he was working on a “very major tax cut for middle-income people” that would be announced by November 1.

No one seemed to know what he was talking about at the time, though Mnuchin tried to cover. The election came and went, and it’s now nearly the end of the year. The phantom tax cut does not exist.

Can you see Trump sweating. I can, I can see him sweating.

President Donald Trump is escalating his shutdown threat over U.S.-Mexico border wall funding at a heated White House meeting with Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

Seems to me that 10 years ago all Trump would have had to do to get funding to the border was reduce military spending.

Fast forward to 2018/2019 and Democrats are frothing at the mouth for more war, so I guess that's no longer an option.

The unsettling list of Trump’s made-up conversations keeps growing

At his White House cabinet meeting this week, Donald Trump went into quite a bit of detail while describing a conversation with the head of a “very rich” foreign country. As the American president described his discussion, the foreign leader – a “very great gentleman” – has been charging the United States when we fly planes over his country, even though the United States is preventing that country from being “overrun” by terrorists.

According to the story, Trump has convinced his unnamed foreign counterpart to stop doing this, which will mean a savings of “millions and millions of dollars” to American taxpayers.

It all sounded quite nice, although the conversation almost certainly didn’t happen in reality. The Washington Post tried to find a country that met Trump’s description. No such country exists.

Now that the Dems control the house we are going to learn a lot more about Trumps incompetence.

Really? Who was it that just increased military spending?

TRUMP INCREASED MILITARY SPENDING BY OVER $200 BILLION.

"As Trump stokes tensions around the world, he’s adding fuel to the fire by demanding even more Pentagon spending. It’s a dangerous military buildup intended to underwrite endless wars and enrich defense contractors, while draining money from investment in the American people.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower once noted, “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Eisenhower was a Republican and a former general who helped win World War II for the allies, yet he understood America’s true priorities. But Washington—and especially Trump—have lost sight of these basic tradeoffs."

As far as Dems "frothing for more war" sounds like you have been swallowing more youtube videos from people who will say anything to get views. Or do you have cites for that?

Trump Isn’t Above the Law

Testing the boundaries of presidential authority is normal. What Trump is doing definitely isn’t.
