Criminals always return to the scene of the crime, whereas Trump never leaves it.
The sad thing is these numbers are padded. The Trump economy is collapsing.

Keep in mind that Trump is massaging the numbers and this is the best economy he could sharpie.
We'll discover soon the Trump recession is already in full bloom.

But, but, but Trump says we'll grow at 15%!
VARNEY: GDP up only 1.4%. That isn’t what President Trump wants to see, is it?
HASSETT: Well, the Democrat shutdown …

Time to start the “Trump should testify before Congress or resign” phase of the Trump presidency.

Has anyone even asked Trump why he wants to attack Iran? Do they have a copy of the Epstein files?

These “bold moves“ being made by the Trump administration is not from confidence, but fear. They see Trump‘s approval ratings in the gutter and the Republican Party destined for ruin.

Top flight corruption
Last week Donald Trump registered the trademark "Donald J. Trump International Airport." This week Florida Republicans voted to rename Palm Beach International Airport Donald J. Trump International Airport," putting taxpayers on the hook for licensing fees that go straight to him

If Britain can arrest a prince, surely America can arrest a king.

They got Al Capone on tax evasion.
I'm seeing posts claiming that former-prince Andrew was arrested for engaging in pedophilia with Jeffrey Epstein. He was arrested for sharing confidential government intel with Epstein while serving as a British trade envoy.

4 out of 5 MAGAs prefer pedophiles.
Seems like it should be a bigger story that a Republican megadonor with close ties to Steve Bannon bought Jeffrey Epstein’s ranch that he used to sexually abuse, traffic, and potentially murder young girls. The guy is also running for Texas comptroller. This should be a liability for Republicans.

A clean death.
If a member of your family in the US military gets killed in Iran soon, you can console yourself by knowing that they died to distract from their Commander-in-Chief's pedophilia.

Says the guiltiest man in the Epstein Files.
DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?
TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

The big difference is that the British authorities are willing.

"We’ve reached a point at which British authorities can hold the king’s brother accountable, but American authorities are out of luck when it comes to Trump."

Former Prince Andrew’s arrest, Yoon Suk Yeol’s sentence and the power of accountability

Do you folks think Prince Andrew has any damning information about Trump he’d be willing to use as a bargaining chip?
