Netanyahu 'controls Trump and Breitbart'.

The Ties That Now Bind Trump to Netanyahu and Breitbart.

In 2015, Breitbart News opened its bureau in Jerusalem.

Breitbart's President and CEO Larry Solov has written that Breitbart's transformation into a media empire began in Israel in 2015.

In 2015, Breitbart News opened its bureau in Jerusalem. 

Larry Solov's visit to Israel was financed by pro-Israeli hasbara (Israeli propaganda) groups. 

Breitbart News was "founded by Jews, is largely staffed by Jews, and has an entire section dedicated to reporting on and defending the Jewish state of Israel," Breitbart's Jewish CEO Larry Solov announced.

Stephen Bannon, Breitbart executive chairman, is the new Chief Executive of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. [2] He holds a master's degree in National Security Studies from Georgetown University, which has been linked to the CIA. Bannon is a former a Special Assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations.[9] After his military service, Bannon worked at Goldman Sachs. Bannon became an executive producer in Hollywood. 

Donald Trump hired Breitbart News's executive chairman Steve Bannon as his new campaign manager.

Dirty Tricks?

The 'hacker' group called 'Anonymous' is most likely run by a section of the CIA.

Beware of its videos, and beware of the video below, which may, or may not, have been made by 'Anonymous'.

The video below refers to Lesley Wexner, a supporter of Jeb Bush and John Kasich, and no friend of Donald Trump.

President George W. Bush appointed Wexner to serve on the Honorary Delegation to accompany him to Jerusalem for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel in May 2008.[14][15]

Wexner had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein who managed Wexner's money.

The video below refers to "a secretly made Israeli intelligence video recording showing former President Bill Clinton raping a 13-year-old girl."

The Israeli intelligence group is alleged to be linked to Wexner.

The video below goes out of its way to point out that Trump did not abuse any of Epstein's girls.

The video below is being promoted by the disinformation site run by Sorcha Faal.

The manufacturing jobs Trump pledges to bring back have disappeared largely because of automation.

"Without the sort of tax and redistribution policies Republicans have traditionally opposed, Trump may struggle to make good on his promise to help those left behind in the global economy, economists who study inequality trends say."

Tough reality check for Trump's pledge of better heartland jobs, wages - Reuters‎



"Under Obama, after tax income for the bottom fifth of households did increase by about 18 percent, or $2,200, according to a recent Council of Economic Advisers study.

"But that was made possible by higher taxes on the wealthy, more benefitsfor the poor and, in large part, by an estimated $1,900 gain from health coverage extended under the Affordable Care Act.

"Trump has vowed to roll Obamacare back."

Economists say that even if economic growth accelerates under Trump, it may not do much to counter the downward pressures on wages and middle income jobs from automation, technology and other longstanding trends.

Trump has been buying steel from China.

In recent construction projects, Trump bought his steel and aluminum from Chinese manufacturers rather than United States corporations based in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Donald Trump Ditched US Steel Workers in Favor of China - Newsweek

Hopefully, Trump will not go to extremes.

"The two scariest words in economics are not (yet) Donald Trump. 

"They are Smoot-Hawley.

"I’m referring to the imposition by President Herbert Hoover of destructive tariffs on more than 20,000 imported goods in 1930, an act of madness that helped turn what should have been a short US recession into a worldwide, epoch-defining depression. 

"Trade fell by more than half as other countries retaliated with their own tariffs on American goods. Millions of jobs were annihilated.

"The tariffs, named after Senator Reed Smoot and Representative Willis C Hawley, were the single greatest economic blunder of all time and accelerated the march towards the Second World War."

If Trump means what he says on trade, we all face economic doom

...

Both Clinton and Trump have to face the fact that one of the USA's main economic problems is robots.

A new study from Oxford University shows that nearly half of the jobs in the USA are at risk of computerisation.

Robots will likely take over 47% of jobs in the USA.

New study shows nearly half of US jobs at risk of computerisation.

The study entitled: 'The Future of Employment' estimates that 47 percent of jobs in the US are 'at risk' of being automated in the next 20 years.

Will a robot take your job?.

"Our findings imply that as technology races ahead, low-skilled workers will move to tasks that are not susceptible to computerisation - i.e., tasks that required creative and social intelligence."

"For workers to win the race, however, they will have to acquire creative and social skills."

The US education system should turn out more entertainers, artists, news reporters, lawyers...

As the US population ages, it does not need lots of immigrants to do the jobs that robots can do.

The government may have to pay a universal basic income to those with no jobs.

Trump seems to have no clear answer to the problem of robots.



Trump says he is aware that one of the USA's main economic problems is the neglect of transport and other infrastructure, particularly in the poorer parts of the nation.

But, jobs building bridges and roads do come to an end once the projects are completed.

Six of the ten richest counties in America are in Virginia and Maryland, clustered around the Washington, D.C., metro area.

Six of the ten poorest counties in America are in Mississippi or Kentucky.

North Carolina will not prosper unless it has brilliant road and rail links to Washington and elsewhere.

Vermont lacks a major international airport.

70% of roads in some states are in poor or mediocre condition.

Poor states such Mississippi and Kentucky need big spending on roads, rail, schools and other infrastructure.

Trump's Republicans are opposed to higher taxes, so how is infrastructure to be improved?

Trump is going to have to increase the USA's debt.

Trump has to face the fact that one of the USA's main economic problems is inequality.

Warren Buffett says: "I was born in 1930. There's now six times as much real output per capita in the United States than there was, in real terms - six times."

"If you'd told my parents that under these circumstances, there would be millions and millions of people living in poverty, they would have said it was impossible."

Trump plans big tax cuts for the rich.

Trump has so far released 3 contradictory tax plans

Military Spending.

Trump has to face the fact that one of the USA's main economic problems is spending too much money on the military.

Trump has called for a military spending increase.



Oxford Economics has found that if fully implemented, Trump's economic, tax and immigration policies would cost 4 million U.S. jobs, weigh down global growth and U.S. consumer spending, and could spark a trade war with other nations.

Trump's economic plans could cost U.S. loss of 4 million jobs ...

1. Is Free Trade good or bad?

It depends.

Free trade deals help some and hurt others.

2. China?



3. Donald Trump told voters in Indiana that the US could not continue "to allow China to rape our country".

According to former UK cabinet minister John Redwood, Donald Trump is in favour of free trade.

Trump or Clinton? What would they mean for investors?.



4. Trump wants free trade agreements that allow US companies to take over the world.

Trump likes the fact that the United States records trade surpluses with, for example, Hong Kong, Netherlands and Australia.

Trump does not like the fact that the USA has a trade deficit with China.



5. A trade deficit can mean that a nation's wealthy citizens are so wealthy that they can afford to buy whatever good things that other nations have to offer.

Trump can buy whisky from the UK, perfumes from France, gems from India and toys from China.

The United States exports more than any country in the world, except China.

The USA's trade deficit is relatively small by world standards.

6. What about the The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement, and the Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement?

These will help certain big US businesses. But, some people will get hurt.

7. Trump says he wants more jobs for Americans.

Many jobs that have been lost "because of decreasing consumer demand in the U.S. and elsewhere, largely as a result of economic downturns like the 2008 crisis.

(The right wing elite have grabbed most of the money)

"That demand loss particularly impacted areas like cars, white goods, machine tools, and lots of other things that U.S. businesses and consumers alike tend to buy at home.

"Americans make 73% of what they buy here at home."

8. "Almost 90% of the decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2010 was caused by the introduction of robots and computers."

Almost Everything Trump Says

Is Trump going to ban robots and computers?

9. Donald Trump  promises to force Apple Inc. to manufacture in the United States.

If Apple makes its stuff in the USA, then either it pays wages as low as those in China, or it finds it cannot compete with Samsung and other rivals.

If US firms are going to pay lower wages, that does not help the retail industry.

An Apple video iPod assembled in China sells for roughly $300 in the United States.

Very little of that $300 goes to the Chinese firms.

"The Chinese get only about six bucksworth of value from the item’s assembly and shipment. Meanwhile, the U.S.-based Apple and its affiliates get hundreds of dollars from an iPhone’s final U.S. sale (for things like design, marketing, and even some manufacturing)."

Almost Everything Trump Says



10. Modern manufactured goods, such as Boeing 787s, are usually made from components from different parts of the world.

Boeing's 787, has a fuselage made in Italy, engines made in the United Kingdom, passenger doors made in France, cargo doors made in Sweden, landing gear doors made in Canada and wing tips made in South Korea.

Trump could force Boeing to have all the parts made in the USA.



11. But such a policy of 'Protectionism' has its risks.

So, Trump has to be careful that he does not bring about a Great Depression.



12. Yes, too many jobs have been offshored, but Trump may not realise how complicated matters are.

There are good reasons why Coca Cola has bottling plants all around the world.

15. Bernie Sanders believes that free trade agreements like NAFTA, Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China, and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement have allowed too many American jobs to move overseas.

Bernie Sanders.

170 top economists have endorsed Bernie Sanders' platform regarding Wall Street, signing a letter stating:

"The Senator is correct that the biggest banks must be broken up and that a new 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act, separating investment from commercial banking, must be enacted."

Economists Say.

Trump inherited a fortune. He would have made more money if he had invested it with businesses other than his own.

"We don't have free market capitalism anymore in the U.S. (and the big banks are largely responsible).

"Instead, we have socialism for the rich, crony capitalism, fascism, kleptocracy, oligarchy or banana republic style corruption."

16. "Thomas Piketty, perhaps the most influential economic thinker of the left in the Western world, is impressed by the rise of Sen. Bernie Sanders...

"Piketty ... sees Sanders ....leading the United States toward a possible return to the nation's pioneering 20th century experiments with extremely progressive taxation and social spending...

"Piketty points to the fact that, prior to Reagan, 20th century fiscal policy in the U.S. was aggressive in taxing the wealthy - much more so than the European counterparts...

"From 1930 to 1980 ... the rate for the highest U.S. income (over $1 million per year) was on average 82%...

"Those rates ... played a tremendous role in creating social equality and helped provide crucial government revenue for robust social programs..."

World's Most Famous Economist.



"Reagan ... lowered the rate for the highest incomes to 28%...

"'Sanders' success today shows that much of America is tired of rising inequality and these so-called political changes, and intends to revive both a progressive agenda and the American tradition of egalitarianism,' Piketty wrote.

World's Most Famous Economist.

17. Donald Trump does not want to ban credit default swaps or collateralized debt obligations.

Trump has said that the federal minimum wage should not be increased because wages are already too high.

Trump wants to abolish the estate tax (FDR’s oligarch tax).

Trump wants the top rate on income to fall from about 40% to 25%, 'meaning a tax bonanza for the rich and super-rich'.

Those in the top 0.1% would see their taxes reduced by an average of $1.3 million, or 19% of their after-tax-income.

Trump’s program would increase the federal deficit by just under $10 trillion in the first decade, and then by $15 trillion in the second decade.
