DONALD TRUMP IS NEVER GOING TO GET TIRED OF LOSING THIS ELECTION

Donald Trump started talking about running for president as far back as the 1980s. But it wasn’t until he embraced birtherism — the racist conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. — that Trump gained momentum as a potential presidential candidate. Trump’s birtherism was a craven…

Mike Bloomberg on Trump’s Job Performance

So often people talk about the Democratic Party as the party of pluralist, pie-in-the-sky idealism and the Republican Party as the party of practical, results-driven business. At last night’s Democratic National Convention, though, one of the world’s most successful, results-driven business leaders, Michael Bloomberg, made some key points. Bloomberg, of…

THE DISEASE PRESIDENT

Since taking office in 2017, Donald Trump has repeatedly insisted he’s on the verge of replacing the extremely popular Affordable Care Act with “something so much better.” Usually, he claims the timetable for unveiling his healthcare plan is “about two weeks.” Last month Trump was at it again. “We’re signing…

A Vote for Biden Is a Vote for American Business

“I built the greatest economy in the World, the best the U.S. has ever had,” Donald Trump tweeted in June. “I am doing it again!” Obviously, the first part of that tweet is a towering Trump lie. Trump inherited a great economy from his predecessors, Barack Obama and Joe Biden…
