What’s hilarious about this comment is that Obama was attacked from both the left and the right after his election for working on a healthcare bill instead of the financial crisis. At the time the left accused him of using healthcare to distract from jailing bankers.

Considering the dollar is down about 7-8% and the US stock indices are dollar denominated, what that actually means is that the S&P is about 7-8% lower than when Trump came in. Put another way, a European could buy all the companies in the S&P at a 7-8% discount from when Trump came.

This is easily proven wrong.

Look at Pakistan. When they ran into trouble with their China loans they went to the IMF.

The IMF restructures loans, often forgives them, and does not use it as an excuse to colonize your territory.

It’s a particularly galling sentiment from someone claiming to be a YIMBY. “Environmental review” has been aggressively abused to block development and is one of the topmost targets for reform. NJ is using that same abuse of the process as leverage (which they’ve nearly lost entirely).

When did a party to a lawsuit pay a settlement after the lawsuit was decided? It’s possible NY may still choose to settle the case with NJ, but they don’t “owe” NJ a settlement.
