    Short term, doing as well as previous Pres, long term without these checks and rules, think the 2008 banking crysis but 10x's worse in the making.

    Trump is in his 70's it's short term, go out with a boom being the MAN!

    Free trade is good, but the EU is not free trade. Whether Brexit is good/bad depends on how it's replaced.

    EU is protectionism....benefits large corporates and anyone else who benefits from a closed economy.

    Trump goes out with a BOOM! Well, who can argue with that?!!! He'll be "D'Man" alright. He's already secured his place in history along side Silvio Berlesconi, Lance Armstrong, Pt Barnum Charles Ponzi, Richard Nixon and Bernard Madoff.

    Sounding like North Korea will feel the full force of the boom soon, nuke the base making the missiles alone, or take out the Artillery at the same time?

    Time scale to long to get conventional troops and planes into the area, even then days to take out the Artillery.

    Bad bad times.

    Can't be done, and won't be. No nuclear weapons will be used against North Korea. It's all bluster. Ignore it.

    We're not going to nuclear war. Thats ridiculous. Trumpy probably just wants to partner up with Kim too build a golf resort on Guam.

    To put Nixon in the same category as Madoff seems quite extraordinary, to me. I can only hope you intended it ironically, in some sense (but to be honest, I think you probably meant it seriously - it's a "remarkable perspective", for sure - to put it mildly.)
