I think ***hole pretty much describes Trump, or should I say rich ***hole.

Re Trump, I’m not convinced he was even born on this planet!  But I’d vote for him before I’d vote for you, call-me-crackpot, since you apparently never met a conspiracy theory you didn’t believe.  LOL.

America, you want our jobs back? The Free Trade arguments are answered convincingly in Ian Fletcher’s “Free Trade Doesn’t Work.” Our trade policies have also been a major culprit, and Fletcher does an excellent job both exposing the fallacious arguments for free trade and detailing the damage the free trade ideology has inflicted on our economy. The historical record is ably summarized in Alfred Eckes’ “Opening America’s Market” and in Pat Buchanan’s “The Great Betrayal.” (Eckes is a historian at Ohio University and also served on the International Trade Commission under Reagan). As Fletcher, Eckes, and Buchanan all make clear, protectionism was indeed instrumental in securing American prosperity.
I have only seen one comment from any politician or public figure that hits nail on the head to solve this problem. By the way, think about this? Why has no one solved the jobs problem in america? No One? It was a few days ago with an interview with Donald Trump. That’s right, The Donald. He said he has Chinese friends that tell him that “the Chinese can’t believe how stupid our leaders are? He said they are laughing behind our backs, why? There is no free trade? There is one way to solve the problem not matter what these idiot politicians tell you. If China puts a 25% tariff on our goods, we need to put a 25% tariff on their goods. Not 2%, which is happening now?” If China doesn’t like it, good, please do America a favor? Please fight us (America) on this issue? No matter what any politician or party tells you, this is the only way that our jobs will return. Wake up America, while the globalist’s are whispering lies in our ears, they are preparing to cut our throats. By the way, unless this is done, there will be no return of jobs. Why? If we don’t build anything in America, we don’t need employees!

The main-stream press has always called the people who have believed that there is a problem involving this investigation as radicals and has named them “birthers and conspiracy theorists.” No answers have been provided to this question that many are now asking? Why would a natural born US Citizen spend over One Million Dollars to avoid proving they are a natural born US Citizen? If he is a citizen, why not just show the $15.00 dollar long form? In other words, Why has Barry Soetoro, (Barack Obama’s real name), hired numerous law firms and spent upwards of a million dollars trying to keep an official, ANY official, from seeing a $15 birth certificate, his passport records and his college transcripts? Forget the birth certificate for a second, why are his lawyers also hiding his passport records and his college transcrips? Something is wrong.
So it really comes down to this: Question? What do these four things have in common? Aliens from Outer Space. Abominable Snowman. Boogeyman in the Closet. Barack Obama’s Certification of Live Birth. Answer: All of them are imaginary!
