Trump Warns The Fed "Is Creating A Bubble That Could Explode"
Paul Volcker's "policy and demeanor were very solid," explains Donald Trump in a brief Bloomberg interview, point out that the inflation-taming Fed head is a role model for the type of central banker he would pick. While admitting he "has always done well in a low rate environment," Trumps slammed the current Fed's ZIRP for "creating a bubble.. and the bubble could explode." Trump had - as usual - plenty to say on topics from Ex-Im Bank (against it as not "free enterprise"), to campaign financing (favoring full transparency of money in politics) careful to brag - jabbing at The Kochs - that "I don't need anybody else's money."
BloombergTV "With All Due Respect" Interview...
Trump on Paul Volcker:
“((HEILEMANN: You think back on all the Fed chairs of the past. Who do you think has been the best?)) ….
TRUMP: I liked Paul Volcker a lot. I thought he was a terrific guy in so many different ways, and he had a good pulse and he had a good -- to me he had -- he was doing what had to be done…. From that standpoint I like low interest rates. From the country's standpoint I'm just not sure it's a very good thing, because I really do believe we're creating a bubble.
((HALPERIN: You said you liked Paul Volcker. And do you like the rule named after him as part of Dodd-Frank, the Volcker Rule?))
TRUMP: Well I'm not sure if he likes it, but if he's -- you know what, honestly, Mark, if he's happy, I'm happy. He was a terrific guy. I've met him a few times. And I thought he was terrific. But I think his policy and his demeanor there was something very solid about him. His demeanor were very good."
On the Ex-Im Bank:
"I don't like it because I don't think it's necessary. It's a one-way street also. It's sort of a feather bedding for politicians and others, and a few companies. And these are companies that can do very well without it. So I don't like it. I think it's a lot of excess baggage. I think it's unnecessary. And when you think about free enterprise it's really not free enterprise. I'd be against it."
On his favorite Treasury Secretary:
"I don't think I have an opinion on that. I think we've had some good ones. We've had some bad ones, but I really wouldn't have an opinion on that. We're going to -- I know they're talking about right now lots of beautiful pictures on beautiful bills, and we're going to see whether or not that works out, but I have no real opinion on that. I think actually Federal Reserve right now in this world the way we built it up, and probably has more of an impact than almost any other position, other than the couple of biggies."
On Citizens United:
"Campaign finance reform it certainly would be something that we could talk about. And I think more than anything else it's transparency. I mean there should be total transparency… You have tremendous power when you give money, especially when you give substantial money over the candidates. And a lot of times those candidates will do things, fellows, that are very bad for the country, but they're good for the company that the power group represents."

Always hedging themselves, these banksters' pals.
"Is creating"? "Could explode"? No. The Fed has created a bubble, past tense, that is going to explode.
Could, please will.
I'm firmly in the Trump 2016 camp. I expect to have many laughs as minds on the left are blown from his antics.
When push, comes to shove, comes to throwing people down on the sidewalk and bashing their brains out of their skulls, Trump will throw in with the pigmen, I have no doubt.
You know the world has gone to hell when the only one making sense is Trump.
Yes, I'm sure the control freak Trump would be a libertarian/free market champion if he were president.
Donald Trump: "It's actually my hair"

Hey who taught Ivunka to suk joo cock? Donny?
Just wondering....
Nidstyles is quickly becoming my favorite statist ancap.
Tractable trump chumps tumultuously trumpeting the white obama
The Queen is dead, long live the queen!
Commence gushing you tyler fanboys
I hear your sarc, bob_stl, Trump needs to avoid all policy discussion, otherwise he will disclose his real substance, which is considerable. Truth is, he's blow-buddy to the NYC banksters and worships the Fed.
Again, we are faced with no choice and that includes libertarian-lite, Rand Paul. I didn't vote last election and will do something productive the Tuesday the elections are held again.
I saw Dennis Kucinich on Fox Business and he said he would eliminate the Fed and roll the functions into Treasury. That's enough for me to crawl to the polls to vote for him, and I could not give a rat's about ANYTHING else he does or does not profess. That is the critical item for the survival of the human species. I am a single issue voter, as long as they all will allow the evil Fed to survive, I have no choice, they are all steaming piles of dung.
Forget the Iranians, every country will have nukes of some sort before too much longer. Back in Roman times, a platoon of modern troops with M-60 machine guns could wipe out a whole legion of them before they got within 500 meters. One day a pissed off terrorist in a 3 piece with a nuke in his briefcase will make this little debate meaningless.
As long as banksters are rulers, Ponzis will prevail to feed eternal wars to suck the life from the slaves. Problem is, someone will send a shocker nuke that will set it all off and it's only a matter of time. The fool oligarchs and their psychopath boot licks had better realize that individuals will someday soon be able to deliver more firepower and destruction than previous whole armies could.
.
I think trump is our political savior because Tyler told me so.
That is s sickening, fair rant.

Get the fuck out you leftie faggot
Ok troll boy. 3 posts and you're cut off.
Closing time.
AHAHAHA, ANYTHING but another progressive. Here's the latest from King Putt: "Killing humans and harvesting their organs is an atrocity that must end." But he said it in his "homeland" of Kenya which makes it okay in the lefty mind.http://thefederalist.com/2015/08/05/obama-killing-humans-and-harvesting-...
It is okay for Planned Parenthood, however.
Sell, Mortimer, sell.
Shout something, anything, that ZeroHedgies wanna hear and they'll vote for you.
Hitler, Stalin, Communist China (hey, they buy gold!) and now some bald megalomaniac with hair implants that wants to expand his bubble real estate empire.
p.s. talk about a bubble, what about the Miami real estate market? http://www.trumpgolfdoral.com/
P.p.s. Jesus what a dick sucking contest! What a totally bought and paid for interview! Not ONE critical question!
Says the former reigning champion of dick sucking.
Hey now! He was champion for 15 years in a row! Give him some credit.
Are they the same hedgelings who buy gold @1900 because gold sellers told them to?
Huffington has her readership, Tyler has his bagholders/nuthuggers.
"Shout something, anything, that ZeroHedgies wanna hear and they'll vote for you."
So then we should vote for those who say things we do NOT want to hear??? We should vote for those who have different opinions than our own?
Think real hard buddy there is another choice.
What's your point?? If it's bashing the likes of Hillary, the Fed, Holder, etc then we will have the first politician in decades to do something right for the country.

I love what Trump has done for free speach, and to the New York media.
I'd be happier if he were hiring staff and settling in for the long haul. He isn't. John Kasich looks pretty strong and is mature enough to hang in there. This is a marathon.
I have heard from some...that have had close personal contact with Kasich, that he is a complete dickhead. The kind of guy that would rather kick the plebes in the nuts than acknowledge their existance. He is also a well established, establishment guy. Be prepared to pull the lever for Jeb, if you chose to vote.
Never!!!!
My bet will be one of the following combos...
Bush / Rubio 2016
Bush / Walker 2016
or maybe Walker / Rubio 2016

Kasich would know, takes one to know one.
Jebbie My-Daddy's-Dick-Worked Bush is lower than whale dung. Kasich would have to stand on a bucket to kiss a snake's ass.
The main drawback in the event, when it happens, will be that the timeline along which we reasonably expect to survive presently will be prone to shortening considerably.
I like to see some numbers when an article is posted.
Normally I'd post the Federal Budget Spending over last 15 years or the FED Balance Sheet.
The Graph showing 78% of New IPOs are not profitable in the last 6 months as an all time high is pretty good sign of Financial Bubble. But gold demand has increased by 1,000 Tons.

Make sure you have 24-hour security for that plane of yours...the banksters don't take kindly to dissent...
Amen. Long live Trump, king of America.
It sounds to me that Trump is pulling down the pants of the NWO lackeys to show the vaginas behind their packed gym socks.
Sure, he is a blowhard. But have we ever had a candidate go this far, be this clear, and have such bravado? I loved Ron Paul- but Trump has the cash to actually throw a major wrench in the combine of DC's Iron Triangles.
The NWO includes mainstream media and they are giving Trump plenty of attention.
Their attention is almost uniformly attempting to be negative about Trump but they so misunderstand the country that what they think is negative much of the electorate thinks is a huge positive.
But equally importantly, unlike all supposedly conservative politicians, when the press attacks him Trump doesn't back down and apologize, he hits back, and that gets a lot of respect from the electorate.
Trump has few peers in using the media. He has been able to play a hostile media, with little expenditure on his part to date, to be well ahead of his rivals in a few months.
I heard he has a huge donger too... dreamy.
"I don't need anybody else's money."
Trump is an Eminent Domain Thief who habitually engages government authorities to seize people's homes and other property for his development projects.
Anyone who doubts this should Google Vera Coking - one of the few who fought back.
Well in his defense, he didn't need her money, he needed her house, which Carl Icahn bought after Trump's
business filed bankruptcy ,with Icahn as one of the primary debt holders. She could have just tied a whole bunch
of helium balloons to it, and floated "Up".
The point is that Trump tried to get this person evicted from her home so he could steal it. That's wrong. How would you like it if the government took your dog or your family photographs and handed you some cash for what they claimed they were worth, Fahque? Or perhaps nothing you own means anything but 'fair market value'.
Can we agree that Volcker is a terrific guy with a good demeanor?
Yeah. Volcker was so terriific that he IS THE DIRECT CAUSE of everything that has happened in our economy at the present. Volcker planned, plotted, and successfully executed, in the late 1960s, his plan, to DEMONETIZE Gold and DEFAULT on Bretton Woods while serving as the New York Federal Reserve Governor..
Volcker was the architect of that nightmare. And very few have read Antony C. Sutton's epic work, "The War on Gold."
And Volcker is the model of "a terriific guy with a good demeanor" that Trump would install as the Federal Reserve Chairman?
Yeh...Buddy...Place your faith, hope, and confidence behind Trump. Go for it, baby. yeah!!!
LMAO. He is your last Great White Hope?
The people here, even on Zerohedge, have no clue as to the depth of the fraud which has been perpetrated upon them.
THERE IS NO SAVING IT. THERE CANNOT BE AN INCREASE IN INTEREST RATES OF THAT MAGNITUDE AGAIN.
WE WERE THE WORLD"S LARGEST CREDITOR NATION AT THAT TIME IN 1979. OUR NAT'L DEBT WAS MANAGEABLE...EVEN AT THE INCREASED RATES WE COULD AFFORD TO PAY THE GOD DAMNED FINANCE FEES.
This is just demonstrative of how clueless that TRUMP is. It is just demonstrative of just how clueless that you Trump Supporters actually are.
Many of you are not old enough to remember the late 1960s, the late 1970s, as many of you were not even a twinkle in their Daddy's eye at that point. And I cannot really blame you for your ignorance as to how the US Dollar was divorced from the discipline of Gold.
BUT THIS is what is boils down to, what it reduces to?
We are fucking doomed. And many of you are just too damned blind to see it. You were NOT TAUGHT.
We are so damned fucked. It is very, very sad.
It was apparently lost on you that I was just trying to get a laugh by echoing Trump's vacuous and content-free statements. But at leat you got a chance to unload.
He probably got it.
Anyway it is a target Rich Environment. Normally I'd say let's focus on modern history like back to 1980, say 35 years. But I didn't know that about Paul Volker and his plan in the 1960. Wow.
But none of these guys takes responsibility for anything not in their In-Box:
Treasury, Jack Lew
SEC, Mary Jo White
CFTC, Timothy Massad
Fed, Janet Yellen
OCC, Thomas J. Curry
CFPB, Richard Cordray
FDIC, Martin Gruenberg
FHFA, Mel Watt
NCUA, Debbie Matz
Insurance, S. Roy Woodall, Jr.
I don't seem to remember these guys, so it helps me to cut and paste and look again. Amazing. Sycophants. Yes-Men. Head Nodders. No Ethos or No guts.
I agree that Trump is unlikely to be better than anyone else since he just isn't smart enough to quote numbers, laws, background legislation, talk about the banking system, who controls the government, who controls the FED, who controls US Banking and what Anti-Trust Legislation was supposed to fix... and on and on.
In the end, Trump will make speeches without details based on his decisions.
In the end, Trump is not educated enough to really change this country. I'm sure he is a smart guy having been part of several of our big systems and being an investor, but it is not enough.
My guess would be that his sympathies lie with the FED and with the Banks and with the Very Wealthy .01%.
Essentially what you are saying is in order to. be effective, the President must either be a lawyer or a lifetime statist hack.
God help us all...
"The War On Gold" Antony C. Sutton 1977
Agree and high recommend.
Awesome Banzai. All my usual kidding aside, very nice work.
The insanity of it all and Trump being nourished by all the media graffiti.
Museum quality work.
Trump's popularity is a symptom of people having nothing but contempt for the general government--the prez, the congress, the supreme court--all of it.
A political placebo that might make people feel better, even if it's all in their heads.
That's how syriza and golden dawn gained so much over the past 5 years or so in greece. If someone told me tsipras would win back then I would lmao. Watch Trump actually win.
No one has actually cast a real vote yet, have they? Free and easy to say you support him now in a poll when it is all rhetoric (not that I believe voting really matters, but I am commenting on your point about popularity and symptomology).
Trump's popularity is a symptom of people having nothing but contempt for the general government--the prez, the congress, the supreme court--all of it.

Hope and change.
"Good to see this place is not a tyler echo chamber..."
Ha!
I had written "This is not an original thought -- see xxx" but I got too lazy to look for the article so I deleted it. If I had realized that I actually read it here on ZH, I obviously wouldn't have posted the comment.
But hey, in my defense, I think it's true. And there's nothing wrong with spreading the truth.
Yeah, fuck the system, let's vote republican.
Hope and change.
Who's this guy again?
The best coming-to-Jesus moment the US public could have would be a presidential contest between Trump and Sanders. Get away from the stale, traditional candidates and see what a couple of batshit wildcats can bring to the table. This country needs shaking up across the federal government, and that would be a good awakening moment.
Either of which would accomplish jack shit once elected, unless they embraced the deep state puppeteers.
Precisely. Hopefully that would lead to more shakeout from the top on down. Although, you can hope in one hand and shit in the other then see which fills up first. Our gov't is a disaster unless you're in the government, get big benefits from the government or are a business significantly helped by the government.
They should both run on two tickets
Trump / Sanders and
Sanders/ Trump
America would beenfit either way.
A question from my non-US perspective: Is it possible that the Trump Campaign will be used as a tool to control the market, ooh look Trump is doing really well in the polls, higher interest rates are coming for sure, market tanks, then oh no, Trump did terribly in last nights debate, interest rates will stay low, rejoice , market goes higher... Is Trump just a news headline generator for the Algos to chew on, I bet it's a full time job keeping those crazy Algos fed.
trump wants to make the country great again.
trump wants to stop people coming in from other countries because they're countries are broke and they want to run up our tab.
trump wants to end ZIRP and allow rates to normalize, which would also normalize risk, and allow people to be rewarded on a risk-free basis for saving.
trump wants to end NAFTA and piss on the TPP (good for U.S. manufacturing, working class).
trump wants to put the honous on the individual and away from the government.
all of these things are considered crazy, draconian, etc.
these actions will eat into people's pockets who lobby & make people become responsible for themselves.
for this reason i am 100% behind him.
for these same reason, he probably has no chance because this country has become so fucking soft. MSFT, GOOG, etc. allowing 1/2 a fucking year for paternal leave? i was born on a friday & my dad was back running his business on monday morning. toughen up & grow the fuck up people.
The "more money printing" economists and a number of pols claim Trump can't bring manufacturing jobs back. Using all kinds of Alinsky tactics calling him demeaning names and such yet this is real simple in my mind. A flat consumption tax. A flat investment tax. Rewriting the "foundation" rules so donations are titled "gifts" which they are. A import tariff based on wage equalizing international wage rates. Then we can see who can compete in the "global economy". We would also see just how quickly millions of jobs flow back here so people can afford a new eco-freindly refrigerator, couch and such.
Wrong tense. The FED has already blown a number of bubbles. Hell, they're serial bubble blowers. They haven't even unwound the first housing bubble, and they've already blown a Bond bubble AND another stock bubble. Those fucktards have been destroying people's lives for the last 40 years.
Well, when your only tool is a hammer..... something about nails.
I am 100% for Trump all the way, no doubt. When is the first debate?
Tomorrow (Thursday) cant wait!
Interesting. Ron Paul despises the Fed, but when he was asked who he thought was the best Fed head, he named Volcker.
Really Donald?
Your powers of observation on the health of our economy are unparalleled sir!
Is there any question about who will win this Presidential election??
Christ, tell me something I don't know
Read all about it, Christ died for the Feds sins, straight from the chairs mouth too.
Trump can't be all bad if he likes Volcker.
The Don!
MSM and both parties and Wall Street hate him....makes me want to hug him!
He must be doing something right!
WHAT DID HE SAY, IF ANYTHING??
Maybe he don't need to...the others towing the same old garbage!
Trump knows what's going on, but he has to explain it to the average American during the debates as if they were wall-thumping helmet wearers (because they are).
Never been this excited to watch a pres debate before. I've always said we need a white male that is confident, intelligent, power/money of his OWN, a fighter, a no shit taker, someone who gets pissed at bullshit and will call out the bullshit fuckers, someone who is POLITICALLY INCORRECT, someone who is outspoken about the real problems, someone who has the balls to stick up to the FUCKING ZIONISTS!!!!
voting for limbaugh?
you just described Zhirinovsky...
Cunts like Trump are a hypocrite and a fraud and it tells you all you need to know about the IQ, of his average supporter. Who here doubts Trump has not received, or does not have access to near ZIRP central bank cash and done very well from it. IE; Able to borrow money around the 0.8-1.5% rate, while the average Joe bag of Doughnuts, borrows on average at 12%+. And don't get me started on sub-prime house and auto loans interest rates. If Trump was really a man of the people, he’d open a bank for the plebs, but he won’t. There is interest rate apartheid for the 90% and Middle America is fucking unaware, because they are too fucking dumb to see the truth. There’s a reason the top 10% have doubled their net worth since 2008, while the net worth of the bottom 90% has declined. I know the reason for this says the propagandized soccer mum from Middle America? "It's because of WELFARE!" And so the brain-washing continues. When the crash comes while sitting on basically ZIRP free money, guess who will be in the best position to buy up assets on the cheap? Middle America or Trump?
"My name is Donald Trump and I'm a BIG fan of Israel..."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jinjRYNuVyo
Well, I'n not, but if I was running for Pres. I'd say the same thing, its mandatory just to get in the race. Dr. Ron Paul wiould tell you that.
Im surprised how introspective he was during this interview. Reflecting on his past opinions of people, Refering Treasury Secretary Bob Ruben "he was a smart guy, he worked hard" but also noting "he was there, and shortly after the world cratered", leading Trump to ask "should he lose points for that?". Shows he is capable of differentiating between capability, actual results, and acknowledging he wasn't certain how responsible Ruben is for that particular result.
This is what I heard most clearly from him:
He thinks changing trade agreements can fix many of our problems
He wants to expand the military
He would support campaign finance reform
He would weaken the Import/Export Bank
He would support a more fiscally conservative government (ex military spending)
He would be in favor of a tighter monetary policy (but I don't hear anything about reforming the Federal Reserve)
I'm voting for The Donald, but frankly, his judgement is concerning.
That DT would mention his desire for Carl i-Con in his cabinet or a
similar position is alarming. i-Con is one of the most egotistical,
self-centered, self-serving, selfish and maniacial whore lords on
the planet. As just one single example, that i-Con would put Blockbuster
into bankruptcy, then sell it to his life long buddy at Dish Network while he
himself just exited Netflix with a reported profit of at least $1.6 billion
(not to mention what his son made).
i-Con is a good "negotiater" but for himself first and foremost.
Can't DT find someone who doesn't belong in an orange jumpsuit or is
that an oxymoron?!
We're living in sad, sad times.
I am no Trump defender, but they all belong in orange jumpsuits baby. Or in special neckties. Or other edgy metal jewlery for the neck. Maybe not Ron Paul, but that is only a maybe...
We gotta work with what we got-- or not. And not means those special neck accessories. Most do not have the stomach for it so this is where we will stay, arguing Trumprump, Pubic Hair, or Clintonofankles.
Trump just lost whatever chance he had by saying that.
Look no farther than McCain's ill fated comments in a fall 2008 debate where he said he would implement a "spending freeze".
McCain was leading at the time and then the Fed pulled liquidity from market causing Lehman to go bankrupt.
It was an inside job for sure.
Assuming you causal link is true, the reason that helped Obama is because there was at the time a Republican president, so McCain shared in the public odium directed at Bush.
If the Fed pulls the plug now, it will be Obama and any Dem candidate who take the blame, so it would actually help Trump.
gosh, maybe the Donald isnt such a total moron after all?
Hmmmm....
All of this is just clever theatrics. The Democrats did it successfully by using Obama who promised to be a breath of fresh air and in the end has turned out to be a fart in the dark.
So too the Republicans are now doing the same with Trump. They are going to use Trump to capture the hope and imagination of the people who are now very much disaffected by Obama and because Trump's style is so boisterous and engaging the people will now go his way.
What is needed is not a change of party or president but a change in the direction in which the country is going. America's stature, finances and social fabric have been sacrificed for the profit of a tiny percentage and while their power seems unassailable, the reality is that it will amount to nothing when the country finally crumbles under the weight of unfunded liabilities, internal race turmoil, illegal aliens and so on.
If by some fluke Trump actually steers the good ship America back on course, the world and not just America might actually see a new period of hope and history.
We can only pray because hope has been exhausted.
If he is legitimately in position to get the nomination and he does NOT get clipped like RFK then you'll know for sure just another Cabal whore.
Well, at least he hasn't made a trip to the Wailing wall yet, so hopefully he hasn't been compromised.
I did two deals with Trump and dealt with his supervisors and managers for 20+ years. A guy I worked with for 6 years has been one of Trump's key executives for many years.
Based on personal experience, I can say this:
Trump has one of most loyal workforces around - his people are well compensated and well treated. The level of loyalty is very high.
The buildings he manages are very well run. In the buildings I dealt with, the condo owners were very pleased. Trump's reception areas were first class. But, it was the people staffing the entrance and the concierge desk who impressed you. After a first go-around, they remember who you are and why you are in the building. Addressed always on a name basis. Maximum effort was expended to give the guest or condo owner first class treatment.
Yes, Trump knows how to charge and he made very good money managing buildings. And, when it comes to self-promotion, there is no one better.
The biggest thing going for Trump is that he is rich and that he did not get stinking rich, pawning favors as an ex-politician. Why should he take a bribe - what is he going to with some extra pocket change.
While he may be a loud mouth, Trump is nobody's fool. He has the experience to hire the best people. And, most of all, I believe that Trump loves the America I grew in in the 50's, 60's and 70's; and will work to undo the corruption that plagues us and restore America to what it was.
Simply stated, of all of the candidates, there is no other choice.
Are you really taken in by Trump? Really? Have you not learnt nothing reading Zero Hedge, or some of the well written posts on this site? A bit of Razzamatazz and fake straight talking has you believing Trump is a man of the people and looking out for the small guy? Are you that gullible? Lets wait for the baby photo-op, that'll bring in the female vote. Your post is indicative of the political malaise the United States is in. What the fuck does Trump really stand for? I'll tell you what he's behind so far. He's all for Military spending. IE: Behind the demands of the MIC. No restructuring of the FED, just a little more pleb friendly policies(which is akin to putting lipstick on a pig) Trump is pro-Israel and an ardent Zionist. So what the fuck is new? What does he bring to the table? Trump merely offers window dressing, while not dealing with the structural faults of the house. If I knew you was this gullible , I would have offered you the opportunity to invest in my new Alchemy public listing. I've found a way of turning sand into GOLD. I'll send you my account details by email.
Thanks in advance.
A. Fraudster.
Elected Jimmy Carter 50.1% Win That obviously was not planned (lol)
It is possible there are some Americans who realize they will resemble the inmates of the concentration camps in a few years if this is not stopped. Your children never knowing what it is like to really live before they die. No one will be allowed to witness this but those who approve. It's in the pages of our history books over and over again. It tends to happen when the rich need to restock their vaults. Propaganda stirring up a frenzy of hate directed at The West". No one will get involved, too much else is going on.

Iran Deal -
Re the Iranian deal and events that followed or preceded in this Crazy Little State.
"Netanyahu supposedly tells Obama, ‘I’m freezing construction and that is causing me political problems, you are pushing us into a corner.’ As far as the settlers are concerned, they know that if they would say, ‘What a wonderful government, we are building on every hilltop’ — that would raise the ire of the press, the human rights organizations and the Americans. Their technique in the 48 years of occupation is to say, ‘They are all against us.’ This is their strategy, and it is very shrewd.”
"Jordan was questioned regarding the clash between the prime minister and the settlers and the purported construction-freeze decision. Erdan answered that he really hopes that it isn’t true, adding, “I also heard from the prime minister’s people that no such statement was made. … Beit El is an important settlement with Jewish history, we have thousands of years of rights [to that site] and we have every reason to fulfill our commitment. I hope that we’ll build hundreds of housing units there, as we’ve committed ourselves to do.”
“For the outside world, Netanyahu wants it to seem that no construction is going on. The settlers also know that his statements are geared to the outside world. But they like to complain, they’ve always acted this way.

Electing Trump is doable and a better choice than anything else.
Hmmm, Days, you think having an effiicient manager at the top of our Government may help? Someone that hires the right folks based on the job they'll do? A guy that knows who to hire as management? I hope it happens.
It's shocking, almost insulting the Dems would run Hillary after all she's done.
Same for Jeb. I mean come on! Same 'ole same 'ole crap.
I really do not see a choice other then Trump right now.
This is a true story. Totally true. Trumps' limo got a flat-tire on the expressway outside Philly. His limo driver was an older Black man attempting to fix it right there. Along comes a pick-up, the guy jumps out, takes over from the older limo driver. When finished, Trump asked what he could do for him; "Oh, just send some flowers to my wife". "Okay" says Trump... So he finds this guy and pays off the guys effing mortgage. That's the kind of heart that Trump has; That's the kind of president the country needs. And no, not to give hand-outs but to reward based on merit; not on priviledge and not those who game the system.
That is a true story - I remember it well.
Compare that to Hillary who didn't even leave a tip.
Hey Donald; they did, and it will.
What about the 29th Amendment, Trump?
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators, Representatives, other elected officials, and their Appointees; Nor shall Congress make any law that applies to the Elected officials and their Appointees, that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."For?, or against?
What say you?
It is not a "bubble" any more than Madoff's "returns" were a bubble.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submision..
"Donald Trump is a populist who has nothing going for him but inflammatory rhetoric and a cult of personality. He has no political experience, and not only does he possess no intellectual substance, he is openly anti-intellectual. That would be why educated Americans do not support him. His campaign calls to mind the days of the aptly named "Know Nothing Party," a 19th century party that rested on the nativist, anti-immigrant sentiments of the uneducated populace. So this kind of thing is nothing new. Less educated people, now as always, tend to be more xenophobic, fear the unknown, and they are more easily impressed by a flashy image, loud empty words and fallacious arguments. The absence of substance is irrelevant when style is present. This is how people like Mussolini and even Hitler came to power. The uneducated also tend to be drawn to people who have names they recognize, say someone known for being the star of a reality television show - a form of entertainment that appeals to uneducated people."
Perfect guy to run for the sheep who are buying this shit. Why not run a guy who has been on TV brainwashing you people one stupid episode at a time. So many people think they are awake and they are clearly not.
Simple test for you to figure out if you're awake or not. Who out of the current crop of people running for potus would you most likely vote for? If your answer is anything but none of the above, you're still asleep. It's not real and your vote does not matter at all. Trump is just a distraction while Bush continues to raise funds so he can win the Republican nod and square off against cunt, I meant Hillary..... That was close, I almost said something offensive....
ZH’ers are a bunch of schizophrenic mother fuckers. Either you want change or you don’t. If the Dems and Repubs are the same and there are no real choices and the world is going to collapse anyway; what F’ing difference does it make who you vote for? But on the off-chance that he will actually fix something, you gotta vote for this guy. Hell, if he just stays at war with congress and accomplishes nothing for 4 years I will be happy.
Is there any way to get a different kind of President but by running an independently wealthy man who does not need Oligarch or Crony Capitalist dollars?In the end, I don’t know if the Donald is going to sodomize me, but I know Hillary and Jeb will.
We are squandering our Personal Sovereignty by 'voting' in this election, by voting we are saying that yes, we do live in a democracy. Do we?
If we want change WE must change.
The only power we have is through our own actions and intentions.
How can we improve this situation?
Start by becoming proficient with Common Law, Natural Medicine, Managing your own food supply, Securing your own energy + transportation needs. This is the reality of change, this is how you shrink the corporatocracy. This is how you vote in a fake democracy.
Every citizen should be aware of the Bill of Rights and how to avoid entering contract under commercial law, we should have educated ourselves to understand nutrition and health and to know how our schooling was designed to bring about maximum compliance.
Don't vote, don't watch TV, Don't listen to radio, begin to understand the many control mechanisms surrounding your life and remove them one by one.
Donald Trump? This whole thing is beyond rediculous. You are literally asking another man ( a billionaire no less) to make your life better for you, I really hope we can collectivly agree here on ZH, of all places, that Bi-Partisan politics is a control mechanism, it is theatre, but falling victim to it over and over is our failure, please ZHers can we have some sanity?
Trump cannot fix shit by simply tinkering around the edges. People don't need hope, they need a reality check. The plebs need the Brutal Honest truth and Trump doesn't offer that. The solutions of Trump are akin to using a Band-Aid over a severed limb. The whole body politik of American politics is cancerous. The lobbying system is carcinogenic. There needs to be invasive surgery on many parts of the political process in America and what does Trump offer? Razzamatazz and fake straight talking and many posters on ZH have bought into it. That is the most depressing aspect for me. Then again I have claimed the average IQ of ZH posters has dropped since 2010, from around 130 in 2010 to around 110 in 2015 and it shows, simply by witnessing all the idiots who support Trump.
How can I best explain this charade? The elite have an average IQ of 130 that is how they rule over the masses, because they are fundamentally smarter than the general public as a collective AND THEY KNOW THIS FOR A FACT! They are several steps ahead of the plebs, but there are plebs who have the IQ and knowledge thanks to the work of other plebs, who have passed down knowledge of their structures and methods of operation. Please read the greatest non-fiction book ever written called Tragedy and Hope by Prof Carroll Quigley. As of today 8th August 2015, the elite realise(because they are smart) the apathy of the average U.S voter and their disenfranchisement with the fixed(by the elite) political system. So they have given you a false choice. A maverick(TRUMP) as a Republican and a Woman(HITLERY) as a Democrat. But this game of Poker they are playing is rigged(by the elite), because they are playing with several hands to our one. They have contingency plans and they are all the other establishment candidates from both parties. So if Trump or Hitlery trips up, strays from the narrative, or god-forbid thinks for themselves, they will be shot down and another false choice will be given to you. If you want to see how they treat a semi-outsider, just look at the non-coverage by the mainstream media of Ron Pauls candidacy. What did Obama promise? Yes we can! and what did he deliver? As the banksters Say, "Yes he can"
I agree. I have to go look for the text I was sent on Tragedy and Hope.

Proof #2 Look at Overseas Tax havens. Apparently it is a Tradition with Europe and the USA. Mitt Romney can Explain all About It with his Trusts. And his Counter-Intelligence Operation on the US People almost made him president.
Proof #3 Look all the Legislation that has been a war on the US Middle Class. And we are now at a 40 year low for wages according to EPI.
With the G20 and OECD countries focused on curbing tax evasion and avoidance, several Caribbean countries – Bermuda, Barbados and Cayman Islands – would be subject to a tightening tax noose. These countries could face a deceleration in economic activity if international tax structures are to be dismantled.
- The 10 most significant secrecy jurisdictions in the world, in the opinion of the Tax Justice Network: the U.S. (Delaware), Luxembourg, Switzerland, Cayman Islands, the U.K. (City of London), Ireland, Bermuda, Singapore, Belgium and Hong Kong.
The U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research has suggested that roughly 15% of the countries in the world are tax havens, that these countries tend to be small and affluent, and that better governed and regulated countries are more likely to become tax havens, and are more likely to be successful if they become tax havens.[28]
-Switzerland
-Luxembourg—primarily a conduit tax haven[29]
Other sovereign countries that have such low tax rates and lax regulation that they can be considered semi-tax havens are:[30]
-Ireland[31]
-Netherlands—primarily a conduit tax haven[29]
Non-sovereign jurisdictions commonly labelled as tax havens include:

Where Was Romney & Trump Solutions??
"How can I best explain this charade? The elite have an average IQ of 130 that is how they rule over the masses, because they are fundamentally smarter than the general public as a collective AND THEY KNOW THIS FOR A FACT! "
It's not that the elite have a higher IQ; rather they have no soul.
Lets not use semantics or obfuscate, the issues at stake are far too important for that. The elite have an IQ “Between” 125-130, give or take a few points either way, depending on which report you choose to believe. The average IQ of the general public is 105. This is not to say there aren't millions of citizens with IQ's way in excess of 130, but I am referring to the average. The elite have been able to keep hold of power over the centuries because as a collective, they are smarter and this intelligence has allowed them via political machinations to control the institutions that control us. What do you believe is the average IQ, of the A-Typical foaming at the mouth Confederate loving, small gubermint ape on ZH is? 110-115 at fucking best and I'm being generous. The Elite have no soul? I would argue man has no soul.
What is going to kill the USA is the debt and the strong dollar......
No one and I mean NO ONE gets elected president without approval from above. Whomever you think that is.
