Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., didn't exactly have praise for President Donald Trump on Monday during an interview on "The Daily Show," but he did appear to say he had a better sense of America's situation than the Democratic Party.

Stewart went on to commend his guest's "consistent" messaging, claiming that the "true inheritor of the Sanders revolution is Trump," while adding Trump was the "most socialist president" of his lifetime.

lifetime.

"Taking a percentage of companies to do business, that's a Bernie Sanders idea. Doing a Trump Rx where the government is involved in selling pharmaceuticals, that's a Bernie Sanders idea," Stewart continued.

Trump touted a "historic agreement" with Intel in August, guaranteeing the government an equity stake in the tech conglomerate after making an $8.9 billion investment in the company to expand the "domestic semiconductor industry."

Yo! Dumbass! They GAVE the American people a stake in their business. He didn't use YOUR tax dollars or MY tax dollars to buy a stake.

Now compare that to Obama's Solyndra debacle. And then get back to me you stupid ******* ******* ***** ****, *********!!!!

Those are forgiveness on the deals made years ago where the person worked for non-profit or charity with the understanding that they would have their debts forgiven after making upwards of 300 payments.

Do we really want to not honor a commitment made with these folks if they kept their part of the bargain?

1) the devil is in the details and we haven’t seen them yet.

2) a lot of those were not going to be collected any way, dead loans, see point 1 for more info.

It’s a corporate approach

if the loans are non-recourse — in other words, virtually no chance to be repaid, a lender will simply write off the loan, or a corporation will simply write off the non-performing or obsolete asset(s)

“Trump was the “most socialist president” of his lifetime.”

Factually true. Trump proposes that tax money “invest” in businesses...especially businesses favored by the government. That is socialism.

MAGA is a coalition. We are united on pro-2A and pro-Israel. We are not united on much else. Most, but not all of us, are pro-life. Most, but not all of us are........

That may be the most 'projectionist' statement I have ever seen.
