Assets held by President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were sold in a company using tax breaks that he lobbied for. These assets were personally lobbied for by Kushner while in his White House role. 1
These tax breaks, called Opportunity Zone tax breaks, were a part of Trump’s 2017 tax overhaul.
The swamp just got a bit murkier.
It looks Trump is starting a war with Iran. Hundreds of our young men and women are now being sent to the middle east to protect US assets.
“It’s like hitting a hornets’ nest with a baseball bat,” said Robert Baer, a former CIA case officer in the Middle East and veteran of clandestine operations. “You don’t do it unless you’re ready to go to war with the hornets.” 2
Both Republican and Democratic administrations showed careful avoidance of this kind of confrontation that might escalate into war with Iran. But Trump’s erratic decision making process has changed all that.
Trump’s mistake of pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal was a big mistake. Now he and the United States will be paying for it. All because Trump is trying to undo everything good that President Obama tried to accomplish including healthcare.
So you think the economy is doing great? That’s what Trump and many in his administration would like you to think. The national debt in the U.S. has increased more than 10% since President Trump took office in January of 2017 with the deb-to-GDP ratio approaching 110% in 2019. 3
Although Trump said he would be reducing the national debt, it is now sky rocketing. Sure, reduce taxes but then what funds the government? Borrow, borrow, borrow. It is what brought on Trumps many bankruptcies and probably what will cause serious problems in the United States.
When Congress spends more than it takes in, the debt increases. If you did this with your personal budget, you would be in real trouble. If you want to shake in your boots, read the Congressional Budget Office report titled, “The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2019-2029.”
The report states: “Real GDP is projected to grow by 2.3 percent in 2019—down from 3.1 percent
in 2018—as the effects of the 2017 tax act on the growth of business investment wane and
federal purchases, as projected under current law, decline sharply in the fourth quarter of 2019.” 4 5
Think twice when Trump says the economy is doing great.
