Trump's Econ Con

Trump is a professional con man that is "a man who cheats or tricks someone by gaining their trust and persuading them to believe something that is not true."

Everything Trump says and does is a con, and the consequences will materialize in time after citizens have become victims and for which there is no recourse to recover. Witness the Trump business model that resulted in bankruptcies from which he walked away with the favorable financial rewards while stiffing suppliers and investors. Witness the Trump University that made fraudulent claims and took tuition while wasting valuable time of students who eventually won settlements, though likely less than the harm committed by Trump.

The biggest con so far is economics. Donald Trump and the Republican Party are stuck on an unsustainable capitalist economic model. I made the case for how to make capitalism more sustainable, and better still, how to replace it with a sustainable optimized performance model. It is in my book, Regenerating America with Sustainable Economics by James A. George with James A. Rodger (c) 2017 Archway Publishing.

The trouble is understanding economics is hard, and too hard for most citizens unless they commit more time to understanding it. That is why I write so that most everyone can understand.

Essentially, the capitalist model puts profit-making first. It neglects social and environmental responsibility. Capitalists are takers, not makers unless it is wealth for them. The evidence is the skewing of wealth into a few hands.

When the political system is compromised, capitalists undermine the principal of quality and one-person-one-vote. Now, they are controlling the government under Donald Trump.

Trump and Republican tax policy support "trickle-down" economics that is proven to be flawed. He has reduced tax revenues needed for the government while borrowing and increasing the debt and deficit.  He is creating another economic bubble that will burst, harming the nation as Republicans historically do. The trouble is, it gets more difficult to manage as they have drained the nation of capital.

Just remember, Trump is an incessant liar and con man. That is all you need to know to act to impeach him from power and all who go along with him.

Easy to understand by most Americans.
