What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Oexmelin]

I tend to agree - a drop in the stock market is just those fat cat "globalists" losing money.  A lot of Trump voters don't exactly have a 401k to fall back on.

My sense of it as well. I am sure many care about the stock market, but almost in a totemic sense - a sign of whether things are good (because of Republicans) or bad (because of Democrats).

I think y'all are overestimating the percentage of Trump supporters who are jobless Ohio meth heads.

The few times I've managed to get a conversation going about the Trump administration, the recurring themes are economy is great, Hillary sucks, and too much welfare.

The Trump supporters I know - and I do know quite a few - also fit firmly into the Yi paradigm.  Although admittedly my personal exposure to jobless Ohio meth heads is limited.

Is "the economy is great" assessed by the stock exchange, by job creation, by taxes, by what?

How about Wall Street meth heads?

Those I know don't seem to fit into Yi's authoritarian high-priests of the market either. Solidly working class cultural Republicans who defend unions but rail against welfare queens.

No true Republican is pro-union.  But then again, we're just about out of true Republicans.

No true Scotsman is a Republican either.

[Eddie Teach]

Well, DPS is right. Those voters haven't traditionally been Republican.

Are you doing this on purpose?

I dunno, it depends on what you think I'm doing.

The economy is great because Trump says it's great.  Previously the economy was terrible because Donald Trump said it was.
