45 - Jim Rogers - Bog

On growing up with a dad who firmly believed that all Democrats are nuts: "He drilled it into my long term memory that the government doesn't need to tax us more they just need to be more wise about how they spend it." On Trump's 45 minute announcement speech at Trump Tower on June 16th, 2015: "June 16th was a return fire missile launching that was meant to protect a large group of people that felt ignored and pushed aside for the past eight years." On the similarities between Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura's win in 1998 and Donald Trump's win in 2016: "Anything in politics is possible if the people have had enough of the establishment...They will indeed rise up and win elections that nobody else thought they could win." On President Trump's anti politically correct movement where it was okay to say Merry Christmas again: "To many it was a breath of fresh air after a growing number of years of having the air contaminated by over politically correct nonsense." On comparing the old days of CNN to what they are now: "What was once a respected news outlet has turned into nothing but a Democratic left wing network that spews nothing but propagandized editorialized filth." On the Republicans failure to come up with a plan for affordable health care: "Two years to come up with a solution...The Republicans apparently didn't fully hear the message that 63 million voters sent on election day." On the Democrats resist, obstruct and impeach movement since Trump was elected: "It was an awfully disgraceful display of politics by a corrupt party...I truly hope that they get their party put back together for future elections. Until they do that I'm not interested."
