‘Pure, unfiltered BS’: Trump insists he’s secured ‘$18 trillion in investment’, economists point out this is insane

1. It’s part of his so-called “trade deals.”

   He has some conversations with this is or that country, and they make some vague assurances they will invest in this or buy a lot of that and not a thing is committed to an actual written deal or economic treaty.

   Then Trump comes back and brags about these conversations as if they have anything backing them up.

   The pattern has been that he makes these claims immediately after and the other country is like “WTF? We didn’t say that.”

   In short, all his numbers are based on vague conversations and nothing has really been secured.

   Truth is, he isn’t competent to negotiate trade deals.

2. Where are the jobs then?

3. Man is a joke. Anything he says is laughable at best, scary at worst, as a result of that lifelong joke status. How this nutfuck got all the way to the white house blows my mind. But then again, dunning Kruger is an MFer and these idiots that put him there truly believe they are smart. I wish we could have a minimum IQ test score as a gate for election voting.

4. If you look closely at those investments, you’ll see that most don’t really take hold until after trump’s term is over. Meaning they can be canceled once trump leaves office. Meaning those in negotiations with trump about US investments have earned the gratitude and loyalty of trump while duping him as easily as Octopi win snowball fights. 🙂

5. That’s around 10% of all the money in the world.
