Whatās funny is using an extreme left wing source like Think Progress.
Whatās funny is how we heard tariffs would not work a few weeks ago and now, apparently they have worked well.
There are serious things in this world going on, immigration, Iran, ISIS, but if one is so concerned with what the extreme left in think progress says, so be it.

Really? Does the source automatically invalidate the verbatim quotes of the president?
The mafia has figured this out a long time ago: āblackmail WORKS.ā Even the threat of a blackmail works.

Pushing ISIS way back, a problem that was left to Trump because of his two predecessors.
Lowest Unemployment Rates for Minorities.
Strong economy.
Iāll take that any day over what an extreme left wing publication like extreme left says.

This is just a cheapshot, our nation has used tariffs throughout its history, now we hear this being made an analogy with the mafia. Iām out of here. This is hateful.

Iāll take ACTIVELY pro-life, pro-America, pro-religious-liberty, pro-minority (best unemployment rate in history for African-Americans and Hispanics) President Trump over any of the Democratic candidates.

I was not talking about some election stuff. I feel ashamed for the horrible ignorance of Trump. It casts a very bad light unto the US. (Oh, and by the way, there was full employment for all the slaves on the plantations.)

Lol, are you suggesting that increased employment for all Americans, and a historically low unemployment rate among minorities, is similar to slavery? So Obama freed minorities by overseeing a slow economy and increased welfare, and Trump is putting minorities back in chains by overseeing a good economy that provided minorities jobs? Donāt talk nonsense. What a strange world you live in, where increased employment is a bad thing.

Itās actually a pathetic article, a āthink tankā shouldnāt resort to petty ad hominems build on misrepresentation.It would be so funny, if it were not so sad.
Trump named two west coast cities and included other cities. Only an intentionally bad read would assume it was all about California.
The bussing one is funny though.

No, there wasnāt. Employment is a voluntary state in which there is a mutually agreed-on exchange of labor for money.
Why do you call yourself Economist?Iām just wonderingā¦
Chattel slavery, which is what we had in the colonies/US, is involuntary and does not involve an agreed-on exchange.

I did not say that it is the same. I merely said that āfull employmentā can be defined differently. And also that full employment is not necessarily better than a certain level of unemployment. And I chose my avatar (Economist) for a very good reason. Because that is what one of mine profession was before I retired.

Sure. Perfectly reasonable. I thought Putin was talking about the Welsh Liberal Democrat Party.

Western Liberalism, if Iāve heard it, itās just barely,
Western values, Iāve heard of it.
Western journalism, Iāve heard of it
The source has a clear bias and Iād call this nothing but sour grapes, I will go to bing later and look up āwestern liberalismā, I did not know what a āclassical liberalā was until recently and itās not my common conception of what a liberal is, a number of conservatives might fit that definition.
I respect sources, Iād say for example, if I care to read liberal thought, New Republic, the Atlantic and perhaps the Nation are periodicals that are respectful to the idea of dialogue. For the record, in some ways, I see the Atlantic as centrist at times.

One would think the the most important man in the world could maybe find out what things are before answering. Are there no advisors in the White House besides Jared and Ivanka?

āLiberalā, as a political term, originally referred to individuals who supported limited government by elected representatives back in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Whig party was a āliberalā party, for example. The conservative parties promoted monarchy and aristocracy, like the Tories. Only recently in the 20th century has liberal come to mean a proponent of large government entitlement programs and relaxed sexual mores, and āconservativeā come to mean limited government. Hence why the term āclassical liberalā was invented, to distinguish the original meaning of liberalism, now modern conservatives in the US, from those who call themselves liberals today. Also why the term ālibertarianā was coined to (self)describe those who believe in liberalism to the extent of the atomization of the individual ala John Lockeās fictional description of the relationship of peoples to one another.

Or we could asks the journalists (?), not to prooftext what he actually said.

His answer to the question was quoted in full. Hard to understand what makes you think that proof-texting is an issue here.
