Putin is insane, Iran has a nuke (will soon), and Europe is scratching its head. Trump made a move with a plan in mind-- the game is on.

I know Mr. O'Reilly says he thinks Putin is insane. Maybe. From what I gather, Putin is extremely cagey and manipulative. But apparently, he's not immune from miscalculating.

Taking President Trump at his word (i.e. assuming he's not on a power trip), his plan is three fold: 1) Get all the foreign makers of goods and services to relocate here and 2) for domestic business to flourish, and 3) to get countries to eliminate tariffs on American goods. Even if this happens to a large degree, by that time our economy might crater.

Getting factories to locate or relocate here does offer us additional tax revenue but not so much in employment. factories are highly mechanized. Mechanization probably takes away far more jobs than with factories leaving the country.

Foreign products are cheaper, hence the moving out of the US. Trump has never revealed his full vision in detail- we will be in a 'rough patch' for yrs to come. Our daily lives will feel a shift and change ( esp.the younger generation) to adjust to the plan, as well as the middle class taking the brunt of the pain. It's inevitable, to get to the place Pres Trump wants this country to be in such a short time, and that it is to be #1 on the planet in all things. Never a loser, always a winner.

There is no "plan" unless the plan is for everyone in US to pay more for everything, just a blow hard with empty rhetoric and it sounds like you've fallen for it.

What "place" does Trump want the country to be in? Because right now it's headed towards the toilet.

The 'place' he wants is to be the #1 superpower in the world, even using Imperialist maneuvers if needed. And I'm sure purging the scum out of society will maybe be carried to far, more than any expected. It is how far he carries it out is my concern.

You are delusional or never understood America's standing in the world up until now if you believe that nonsense you just wrote.

Im absolutely not delusional in any manner,dude. I'm just stating, where did I mention I believed what I wrote? Your assuming- I wrote what seems to be happening according to what Trump speaks. What then is your analysis?

There is always a plan, a plan A, B, and C. Good, bad, or ugly, but a plan. We will head 'towards' the toilet maybe, but not go into the toilet. And go up from there. Crossing our fingers. No one else has/ had a plan lately. It is dicey, granted.
