I just pray that the Forbes aren’t part of the global Luciferian cabal. Only time will tell.
Remember when Forbes claimed Obama was wrong and 2% growth was not the best US could do?
Remember when Forbes successfully predicted the phenomenal stock market growth when Trump would take office?
Remember when Forbes decried Obama’s economic policies as harmful to the country?
Nah - neither do I - funny they want to claim the mantle of a knowledgeable authority now.
Doesn’t he support illegal immigration?
ya...welll....”trade protectionism” means different things to different people.
Opposing TPP which threatened U.S. sovereignty is NOT “trade protectionism”!
With all due respect, Mr. Forbes, we’ve been following your playbook for three decades, and it hasn’t exactly been working for us.
Massive increases in the deficit don’t help either.
>> I just pray that the Forbes aren’t part of the global Luciferian cabal <<
You’re prayers will not be answered, because Forbes definitely is very much a part of the cosmopolitan globalist conspiracy known as “logic and evidence.”
Steve Forbes is the quintessential GOPe/Wall St. type, so he’s nervous.
The Chamber Of Amnesty publishes a hissy fit.
Fake news.
This truncates what Mnuchin also said.
Mnuchin clarified his words and said, “everybody knows a weak dollar helps the economy ONLY in the SHORT TERM, but that it would never be long term policy”. President Trump jumped in also and clarified the original statement Mnuchin had made.
Forbes may not like Mnuchin, ya think? Nevertheless, Mnuchin is no dunce at math either.
Forbes backs “Trade deals,” fair to the U.S. or not, better not and they are for a constant US business supply of “cheap labor,” wherever it happens to appear in the U.S. regardless of how it screws ordinary American workers and taxpayers!
Forbes is after all about money!
I always thought Forbes was a serious source of financial information. I was wrong. Fortunately, they shot themselves in the foot right off the bat.
Making statements doesn't require knowledge or judgement. Explaining why or how, with concrete historical examples might, but that is never done. The "appealing to authority" thing again...
THREAD REJECTED! unread...
Was Forbes on the bandwagon of all the other mainstream ‘economists’ that were predicting a stock market crash if Trump was elected? I can’t recall specifically if Forbes was on board with that because I generally ignore the globalist crony capitalist crowd.
RE: Was Forbes on the bandwagon of all the other mainstream ‘economists’ that were predicting a stock market crash if Trump was elected?
As far as I can tell, Steve is NOT a never Trumper.
He likes the Corporate tax cut but has reservations about the individual tax policy because it does nothing to simplify things ( in fact it complicates tax filing for lots of earners ).
The man has his own economic point of view, which often diverges with the GOP.
I do remember them saying those things except for number two. Do you read Forbes? Did you predict the stock market growth? And it’s recent nose dive? I sure you did and you are wealthy because of it.
HAAHAH.
One thing that turned the economy around so suddenly was exactly that tough talk on trade. We don’t have free trade, we have managed trade. Trump merely pointed out it should no longer be managed to prop up US Foreign policy agendas but instead be used to future US economic interests.
The cabal are liquidating their assets
Steve Forbes has been against a weak dollar for ever. So, this is nothing new.
He is right about the rest of it though
People like Forbe’s author do not make fine distinctions between protectionism and fair trade policies.
NAFTA was flawed against America from the beginning. Trump will remedy the harmful policies which is not protectionism.
