With Trump in office, you’re going to need something a lot stronger than a red or white whine. RepubliCONs CONsistently crash the economy, and PROgressives are left with the messy job of cleaning up after them.

History of financial and fiscal failure of Republican conservatives:

Harding/Coolidge/Hoover: Great Depression, Wall Street Crash, widespread bank failures, turned around by FDR. Prosperity for the next 35 years under Democratic (and one liberal Republican) presidents.

Nixon/Ford: Nixon’s wage/price controls and Ford’s “WIN” (Whip Inflation Now) buttons as inflation and interest rates zoom upward under the management of Fed Chair Arthur Burns (appointed by Nixon), turned around by Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, appointed by much underestimated Jimmy Carter in his last year as president and serving in Reagan’s first years, reversing high interest and inflation rates.

Reagan/Daddy Bush: Collapse of S&L’s, then-record budget and trade deficits, Wall Street Crash in 1987 after replacing Volcker with Alan Greenspan; last president to have higher unemployment than what Bush left to Obama. War on working people, unions and the middle class. Turned around by the Clinton prosperity and record budget surpluses.

Dubya Bush: Total economic meltdown, new record deficits, widespread failures of financial institutions and real estate markets, turned around by Obama’s unprecedented market expansion and record number of months of consecutive job gains and reduced unemployment.

Now Trump is going to learn the limits on how long he can ride the Obama momentum before massive deficits, tax giveaways at the top and loss of protections for workers, consumers and our shared environment cause a massive collapse that will benefit only himself and his cronies.

Why would anyone ever trust those who keep breaking it (and obstructing the efforts to undo the damage) to fix it?

A gallon of good old rotgut whiskey. Drink it fast and you will not give a damn for a while.

Bathtub gin?

Cheapest, and lots of it.

Hemlock.

DD, in addition to your excellent summary, Trump Disciples are also incapable of figuring out that Businesses of all sizes import as much illegal and legal cheap labor as they need to maximize profits and minimize wages.

In a totally unrelated coincidence, Trump loves the poorly educated.

The market is as unstable as the genius in the White House, he doesn’t drink.

Something gone sour, I would imagine….

Absinthe!

something really dark with a overtones of salty tears, bitter frustration, and a back-of-the-throat after taste of depressing let-down.

cheap with a hint of barnyard waste……

Vodka with a hint of hooker p**

Sterno.

Anything that goes down smoothly.

Are we tired of winning yet? Is this the “trickle down” the Republican tax break promised?

This is not Trump’s fault. Contrary to what the liberal media says, we are winning the trade war and investor confidence in Trump is at an all-time high (tune into Fox News). Somehow it has to do with the Democrats. Yeah, that’s it! The threat of them taking over and running the country into the ground in January is putting the fear of God in every American. Impeachment is bad for the American economy. It will be unAmerican when they do it.

Trumpette on Facebook claimed that “liberal Dems” don’t give Trump credit for his “accomplishments” and said they should check their 401Ks. When I posted an article that showed how Trump is causing stock market to drop, she claimed this is temporary and “only on paper” and will bounce back as shown by “history”. Their delusions run deep.

They voted for a lying fascist illusion.

Red wine adds flavor to “Hover Hogs”. If things don`t change we are headed that way. again.

When Rumpee was asked about the ballooning national debt, well here it is from the Daily Beast:

“Sources close to the president say he has repeatedly shrugged it off, implying that he doesn’t have to worry about the money owed to America’s creditors—currently about $21 trillion—because he won’t be around to shoulder the blame when it becomes even more untenable. “Yeah, but I won’t be here,” the president bluntly said, according to a source who was in the room.”

At least there’s the silver lining that he won’t be there.

White Russian

Sour grapes.

Hemlock, perhaps?

Beer. Bear Whiz® Beer. It’s in the water, that’s why it’s yellow.

Arsenic ?

Some cheap stuff, Mad Dog or Annie Greenspring come to mind.

If I remember correctly from my high school days back during the original OPEC oil embargo, it would be Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill.

WINO WARNING! This shhitte has an online “fan club,” and they rate this stuff as “the king of all flavors of Boone’s Farm,” giving it 99 pts. Sommelier’s everywhere throwing up in their mouths and choking it back down, just to kill the thought of the taste.
