I thought the Republicans wanted to make their ticket less weird?

Why do you support Trump?

Trump has always been stupid. But now he's borderline senile and everything looks a lot worse, simply because his supporters start to see him through a different lens. Mostly I think it's over for him because media outlets use every chance they get to say 'hey, look at this stupid old dude'...

The difference is crazy. But at the same time this is kind of what you'd expect from the president of the US. Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A6003 met Tapatalk

Obama's eloquence sure makes listening to Harris and Trump painful. Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A6003 met Tapatalk

I'm not sure if that's an argument that will stand. You have other forms of taxes in the US than income taxes as well, like property tax or sales tax. Arguably a tax on unrealized gains could be considered a form of property tax. I don't specialize in tax and I'm not an American lawyer though...

Surely it's Thiago Motta.

99% of Trump's voters do not check what he says. Most of his statements are lies, obviously, but more importantly almost none of his underlying actions and policy correspond with what his voters actually want. The only ones who actually know what he wants to achieve and support him are the...

The problem with taxes is that, once the principle is agreed on, they expand. Why not have it for people with 50M net worth? Or what about 10M net worth? Or what about 1M net worth? Surely they are all rich and should pay. Before you know it everyone is paying taxes on unrealized capital gains...

The crazy part is that in, what you'd call socialist, Belgium society is in turmoil, because they're considering a tax on realized gains. @Ronn 's second point is important though: it is meant to be for individuals with a net worth of 100M+, so in reality it wouldn't affect too many people...

I actually think I heard them outright say it after the covid pandemic. A little inflation is not necessarily a bad thing, it implies growth. And I guess there can be reasons to devalue the dollar. Japan tried something similar with the yen. But in Trump's case it's really obvious he just...

Trump sees this as a tax paid by foreign countries or foreign business entities. It's not, but his demented brain thinks it is. And you're right. In general presidents have little control over inflation. But they can do a couple of things to make it worse. In this case Trump's proposals not...

I know it sounds crazy, but as a lawyer you really understand you need to make some points over and over and over again. Don't get me wrong, I usually don't do this in briefs. I hate legal documents that are unnecessarily long. But during oral arguments opposing counsel will often try to shift...

Crazy to see these Lolgians popping up everywhere.

You don't seem to understand. Regardless of whatever value the dollar holds today, Trump's intention is to devalue it. Trump's economic plan is that your money is worth significantly less a year from today. Is that something that sounds appealing to you? 1724146432 Several factors caused...

It's not easy to pinpoint which factors cause higher inflation. But intentionally devaluing the dollar is certain to lead to inflation, simply because the money is worth less but the goods you want to buy still hold the same intrinsic value. Again: Trump wants inflation on a personal level. This...

Okay. But Trump says he wants to weaken the dollar further. So if you want a weaker dollar, you should vote Trump. Do you want a weaker dollar?

Trump does not think Biden destroyed the dollar. In fact Trump wants to weaken the dollar, because he believes it is too strong: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-25/usd-will-trump-s-push-for-a-weaker-dollar-work-wall-street-doubts-it...

The price of gasoline has not gone up by more than 50%: https://www.finder.com/economics/gas-prices I highly doubt car insurance has gone up by more than 50% too. In fact, I think all of the numbers are highly questionable. But even so, I repeat: Trump wants a weaker dollar. A weaker dollar...

The graphic showed global inflation rates. Biden does not rule the world. Again, Trump wants a weaker dollar: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-and-vance-want-a-weaker-u-s-dollar-be-careful-what-you-wish-for-5227209d...
