I can't imagine what made him say something like that. The first time I heard it, I thought his mouth just got ahead of his brain for a moment. But he's been saying it on a regular basis.

He's either an idiot or has been co-opted somehow. Alternatively, he was a fake from the start.


I truly believe that he meant what he said during his campaign. I had serious doubts about his ability to do all of it, but I don't think he was just setting everybody up.

It seems as if he's making a big effort to call attention to the economy.

It may be that the economy is what the powers that be are holding over his head. It's no big trick to crash the economy. Kicking interest rates up will virtually shut it down over night,...and the people who control the interest rates answer to nobody.
