This election is turning into a Billionaire's playground.

When visitors go to KeepAmericaGreat.com, they have the option to donate $1 in exchange for a bumper sticker that reads, “Trump is a fraud & a failure.”

Dow down around 300 points since, mainly due to Trump waving tariffs around again.

One can only admire Trump's great deal of effort to avoid the stock markets to overheat.

America's manufacturing sector in November contracted for the fourth straight month, according to an industry survey released Monday; so this sector is technically in recession.
Survey respondents continued to complain of tariffs, trade uncertainty and weak orders.

Meanwhile as part of the slowly changing GOP story and retreat we now have "House Republicans are expected to argue President Trump did not intend for his dealings with Ukraine to benefit him politically, but rather that the president made "entirely prudent" decisions driven by a "reasonable skepticism" about corruption in the country."

They seem to be falling into the trap that Trump warned them of;

Dow falls more than 400 points after Trump warns China trade war could go beyond 2020 election
All the optimists who believed his frequent statements that the talks were going well and bought shares are counting their losses; hopefully, they will not rush to sell and start a panic.
Why doesn't he learn to keep his mouth shut?

Meanwhile, it is rumoured Attorney General William Barr is rejecting a key finding in the Justice Department inspector general’s report on the Russia probe, that the FBI had enough intelligence to initiate an investigation into the Trump campaign in July 2016.

Luckily the inspector general is independent and Barr cannot change his report.

So much for the long-standing protocol that dictates the FBI and Justice Department operate free of political influence or meddling from the White House. Barr is rapidly turning into Trump's private attorney.

From the President whose lies are more easily disproved than Walter Mitty's.

""I don't know Prince Andrew, Duke of York, but it's a tough story," Trump said in London during a press appearance today on the sidelines of the NATO summit. "I don't know him, no."

So from as long ago as June


Plenty of other photos including at Trump's new Florida home Mar-a-Lago.

It's like a bunch of dads discussing someone else's nightmare kid...

Maybe Trump thought Andrew was the butler? Or the PA?

I could barely make out three words in the whole video.

More like a bunch of school kids talking about the teacher.

Indeed, there is an air of desperation.

Definitely. Without naming names!

One of Trump's favourite claims is that China is paying his tariffs and so pouring billions into the US.

Trump's own administration publishes data that shows import prices in $ are little changed (ca. 2%) since tariffs began, despite a 12% drop in the value of the Yuan in the same period so the Chinese are actually earning more for their products in Yuan!
It is the US consumers and companies who pay the tariffs.

You spelled "derision" wrong.

I was thinking exasperation

Or incredulity with a side of "thank fork that wasn't me."

LOL!

Despite the official statements that Boris would not meet Trump during this NATO meeting.

When trump was asked about it he said 'I don't know France'

This.

Haven't read every reply but this is exactly the word that came to my mind too. Incredulity plus a bit of "Man, thank goodness I had good parents!"

As people forecast, this election campaign is getting very dirty.

Trump tweet from September.
Well, Pelosi announced this morning the Dems would go ahead with impeachment and the markets fell by a massive 0.2%!
