He beats China every day so if he becomes president thr US economy will outgrow that of China, with their population of billions.

nah, trump is a lot smarter than you give him credit for. he just has a knack for saying things that get the masses riled up, and he is willing to sacrifice plausibility for popularity. imo.
i really don't see trump slapping tariffs and **** either tbh. at least half of his promises have to be empty... even if by some bizarre stretch of the imagination he actually builds a wall and extorts mexico into paying for it.

1.) He has gone bankrupt multiple times, and shown himself to be competent mostly in being able to trick others into thinking that he is competent (and here we are...)
2.) Business experience ≠ political experience. Everything that he has said about dealing with immigration, Russia and China, and the economy, gives the impression that he is a cretin without the slightest idea what the **** he is talking about.

re: bankruptcy
yea but come on the entire city of atlantic city is basically one big bankruptcy. he's been pretty successful in business in general. not that it even matters that much tbh. but trump is a fairly competent and intelligent person. so is hillary clinton btw.
