Donald Trump pledges to replace Constitution with the Ferengi Rules of AcquisitionDavywavy NewsThump August 6, 2016 The United States Constitution will be modified to include the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, according to a policy document leaked from the Donald Trump campaign.
The news emerged after it became clear Trump’s campaign website would not allow supporters to cancel reoccurring donations, a move covered under Rule 239 as “Never be afraid to mislabel a product”.
Trump, who believes he is running for the position of ‘Grand Nagus’ of the United States, has a personal motto of “A man is only worth the sum of his possessions”, which is his favourite of the rules.

Trump "unveiled" an "economic plan" today that was equal parts reworded conservative pablum and unadulterated BS (who says Republicans don't recycle?!), devoid of substance or any semblance of cohesion. As Bloomberg said in Philly, "god help us!" Moody's analysis; Fiscal Times: Trump’s Economic Plan Would Be a Disaster for the US Economy: Moody’s
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

To call Trump's babbling a plan is being generous. His chief adviser on this ludicrous speech was Ivanka. That should tell you all you need to know.

clearly you are mistaken
Mr Trump said it was new, different, forward thinking economic plan .... that should be all the refutation necessary
not only that but he said Trumpenomics works .... so it must be true
he also said he was looking forward to go backward in time to refind the good old days of unbridled free markets
anyway what would Moody know about real economics

I know, right  And also, with economists of Ivanka's caliber heading the team what could possibly go wrong? The Trump family saves the day once again.

There's always a kernal of truth wrapped up in a BS job. Matt Taibbi has, as usual, done a good job of identifying the dynamics involved in this insurgent campaign season. Going after Clinton's support of trade agreements will resonate with many many people. For good reason. tired of waiting for it Another tool for Trump to go to work on Clinton with.

appears to me it has always been a comparison between those who look at our government from an individuals perspective and those who look at it the way it was meant to be ... sorry but the first word of the Constitution should be the clue

One of the real problems with Drumpf's so-called "campaign" is that you can't really discuss any issues. Everything is "yuge" and "great" and so crack-whack laced with lies that you cannot take any of it seriously. He sounds like the guys on the streets of NYC smoking K2. Any rational argument would be pointless. I guess that is the idea...
