Other guys would just solve the problem in cooperation with the others involved.
Then I solicit pricing from the subs or suppliers involved and they say who's the PM, if it's him I don't want anything to do with it or I'm adding.
Not the way to manage effectively longterm, but it is certainly Baby Donny Bonespurs method

Means always justifies the ends in Trump camp.

"Other guys would just solve the problem in cooperation with the others involved"
True. Many politicians, especially presidents, like to take credit for the sunrise. Trump isn't unique in that regard.

Again, you are making up gibberish. The market is doing well since he took the oath (no thanks to Facebook, yeesh). The market likes him.

I didn't say the market was doing bad, it would do better if he shut the #^&#^&#^&#^& up
Just because you think he is the second coming, I thought you were a christian. Remember, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me
I'm not making up anything, don't think his effect on the markets from tweets about the Federal reserve rates, tariffs, etc is inconsequential and without costs to business. Turmoil is not good for planning.
Here, read this radical news instead of State news

or the economist or wall street journal

What evidence do you have of that?

I don't recall Jim saying that Trump is the second coming. Could you verify that? Nor do I recall Jim saying that Trump is a God. Maybe you could also verify that?

The markets go up and they go down on a daily basis due to various events and political statements. I don't think you would prefer that various problems should not be addressed because that would negatively affect the market. I may be wrong, maybe you would prefer that.
There was no way to correct various countries imposing tariffs on certain US goods, nor the misappropriation of American intellectual property without retaliating or threatening to do so. Trump has laid down the gauntlet, but also opened the doors to negotiations that can lead to the removal of American tariffs--the old carrot and stick thing. There are, at least, movements now in that direction. Even merely signaling that should have a positive effect on the market. And accomplishing zero tariffs should stimulate it even more.

Pete, how many times has Jim specifically told you he can't stand Trump but thinks he has done some good things? Now you use a phrase like second coming..... seriously,are you slow or just stupid?

It's difficult to have a serious conversation sometimes. They can't respond to what you actually say, so they respond as if I said something like "Trump is the second coming".
Nothing dishonest there, nope.
When your beliefs render you incapable of responding to what someone says, it might be time to re-examine those beliefs.

Jim instantly assumes that I can give him no credit
I think he would get better results with a little moderation
He’s like the boy who cried Wolf
And while Jim purports to detest him he is willing to toss his values aside as long as he gets something immediately

Jim has an opinion,do you even understand what an opinion is? It is what Jim thinks. Not what you say he should think. I hope you understand the difference.
Meanwhile you give a perfect example of the #^^^^^^^& left and their shortsighted ways. If you concluded that Jim considered Trump the second coming then you are just plain ignorant. Thanks for displaying your confusion and arrogance for all to see.

President Donald Trump's former lawyer has said his client knew in advance of a June 2016 meeting between his aides and a Russian delegation that offered to help his campaign, US media report.
