Trump wouldn't tweet...A sign of things to come? Trump wouldn't tweet this if he didn't mean to continue reducing the "debt". Or is this simply another imbecilic display of Trump's governing: minute by minute PR, whether or not it clashes with the bigger picture. We can only hope that Trump has another bout of the characteristic amnesia, or PR obsession, he displays so often and that he returns to his spend, spend, spend policies and forgets all about the "debt" as it soars past $30 trillion. If I had to guess, I'd say Trump is now a hardcore fiscal hawk, having surrounded himself with fiscal hawks. By this reckoning, there'll be no second term. There may not even be a whole first term, no matter how much he sucks up to the GOPhers with his newfound fiscal conservatism.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181631191840432399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-32890857543339189432017-02-25T14:32:39.163-05:002017-02-25T14:32:39.163-05:00We have to assume they are following this report [...<i>We have to assume they are following this report</i> [DTS]<br /><br /><b>David S.

No way Trump read the DTS because, as we all know, he doesn't read.<br /><br /><br />(via @ggreenwald)lastgreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354740659933239445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-43210450851952934152017-02-25T14:30:18.297-05:002017-02-25T14:30:18.297-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.lastgreekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354740659933239445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-46483296429549605902017-02-25T14:01:56.539-05:002017-02-25T14:01:56.539-05:00Please explain.
