    Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!

    In the west, we don't get unbiased reporting. so I have not been informed about the past democratic scandals and scams. The concerns I am hearing are,
    why we here in the west, feel that the current president is in office to change current, long standing policies that have been brought to stop corporate greed, stop business practices that have been proven to be unbenificial to the environment, being confrontational and negative to anyone asking for explanation, never fulfilling his pre-election promises, like furnishing his tax returns like everyone else would have to, telling us that if someone is aqused of something like sexual misconduct, that if the accused states that they are not guilty, it's a closed case, no need to bother with formalities like a court trial, paying off accusors is fair game.,.. It never happened.
    Well, to save time, it's only the rich that can get away with this type of case. 95 percent of Americans don't have this ability.

    So, I was just wondering, what are most people missing out on?

    Don't shoot me, just sayin

    How Berkshire Hathaway gained $29 billion from the new tax law

    28166899_10155530491284007_6287666293091693533_n.jpg

    Proceed to Buffett’s appraisal of what happened. The $65 billion is “real,”he wrote: “Rest assured of that.” But, he disclosed with obvious regret, only $36 billion of that total came from Berkshire’s operations. The remaining $29 billion, he explained, “was delivered to us in December when Congress rewrote the U.S. Tax Code.”

    Unless you can provide links to provable evidence for anything that you claim has hurt the citizens of the USA, that statement is merely your personal opinion.

    WH official: Peña Nieto calls off visit to White House after confrontational call with Trump


    Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has called off an official trip to Washington to meet with President Donald Trump after a tense phone call brought the two leaders to a policy-driven standstill.


    At least one Mexican official, who spoke to the Post on the condition of anonymity, said Trump "lost his temper." US officials described the President as being "frustrated and exasperated, saying Trump believed it was unreasonable for Peña Nieto to expect him to back off his crowd-pleasing campaign promise of forcing Mexico to pay for the wall."
