I think Trump knows what he is doing when he talks with the enemy has it is seldom, maybe never, that what they say he said is actually what he said.

New Film – Hillary’s America
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Jul 31, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
The documentary, “Hillary’s America,” looks into the secret history of the Democratic Party and Hillary’s rise to become the presidential candidate. I find it rather astonishing to see a movie out before the election about Hillary’s crazy history.
One would think that the Democrats would have preferred Joe Biden. Hillary plays dirty and many fear getting in her way. Yet, the Democratic Party determined Hillary would rule Washington as the first woman president. She is such a feminist that this is her only real goal, not helping the nation.
I have not seen this movie to attest to its veracity. I cannot recall a presidential election that was ever this nuts. I understood that this would be a crazy period economically back in 1985 when our computer was highlighting 2016 as a crazy economic year. I never anticipated such a chaotic election as we have today. The burning question is why the Democrats went along with Hillary rather than someone who did not have such a crazy cloud over them.
Can Trump Prevent the Coming Collapse?

Re-Posted Jul 31, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION:
Hi Mr. Armstrong,
As you have stressed many times, your Socrates computer system has hundreds of years of data. The US political system has hundreds of years of momentum (or perhaps inertia) behind it. Do you think Donald Trump can really change where we are headed, IF he were elected President?
Thanks as always,
MB
ANSWER: No. What he can do is perhaps pave the way to change what is coming, which is a new form of government. Career politicians are causing us to suffer. Perhaps he will be able to highlight that problem and there may be more of a confrontation with members of Congress. He would tend to have no problem exposing them and what is really going on.
He cannot prevent the crash and burn. Nobody can do that. Perhaps he can highlight the real problem. Moreover, he might be less likely to just sign whatever they put in front of him as they do with career politicians.
We are headed toward a complete political change. That is unquestionable. So I would look at Trump more so as assisting the change that is already coming about.
Arizona General Election Poll: Donald Trump Holds 7.5% Lead Over Hillary Clinton…
Politicians life in a fantasy land built on the distortion of facts, lies, word games, and deception for most are attorneys after all; so when Hillary built up her cloak of inevitability there was nothing behind it and so it becomes easy to pull away. She was beat handily by a novice Obama in 2008 and now is is being beaten again by Trump who has no political experience.
Second Day On Campaign Trail and Clinton-Kaine Cancel Cleveland Ohio Appearance…
Well when even Bill falls asleep during her speeches its no wonder that only those that are paid show up. I wonder if the DNC is having buyers remorse!
Interesting Video – Bernie Supporters Now For Trump…
Hillary and the DNC have no idea what they created. The millennials have been screwed by the Democrats and Hillary. The people wanted change and picked Trump of Bennie but the differences between which camp they moved to was small and now that they have been screwed by the DNC its easier to go for trump as he is an outsider not a crooked politician.
Clinton/Kaine Rally Draws “Crowd of Dozens” In Pennsylvania…
If you can’t draw a crowd, and Hillary can’t that means that no one what to hear you speak. If you have to stand in line for an hour to get in to heard someone speak than you really do want to heard them. So Trump draws tens of Thousands and Hillary has a hard time to get a couple of hundred s at best who do you think is going to win and which poll would you believe.
More Globalist Fail – Scotland Poll Majority Wish To Stay in United Kingdom and Out of EU…
The bottom line is that you can only have one culture in a country as was clearly discussed and analyzed by Montesquieu in his book “The Spirit of the Laws” written in 1748 I believe.
Elizabeth Warren’s False Reality
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Jul 30, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
Sen. Elizabeth Warren claims that Trump wants everything to crash so he can buy up real estate on the cheap. Of course, to do that one must have cash and confidence that it is a bottom. It is very rare to find someone who will just rush in and buy in a falling market. You could also say that Trump wants everything to boom so he can sell his holding at a profit and retire.
The Democrats did nothing but bash Trump at the convention instead of offering what they will really do or explaining how they will accomplish such promises. Warren’s speech desperately attacked Trump at the Democratic Convention, which was designed to convince Americans that Trump is no friend of the average person. She said Democrats fought to get health insurance for more Americans, refinance student loans, end tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas, raise the minimum wage, and create a strong consumer agency “so big banks can’t cheat people.”
Yet, heath insurance costs have skyrocketed. The Clintons handed the nation’s students to the bankers by removing their right to declare bankruptcy on student loans. The attempt to tax corporations only hit small businesses; the big boys still have over $2 trillion offshore, but they will not bring it back because of taxes. Jobs have not returned from overseas and a hike in the minimum wage will displace people with robots faster. They cling to ancient ideas put forth by Karl Marx. These same ideas destroyed China and Russia, resulting in their switch to capitalism.
Warren still lives in a dream world where she can rob other people while refusing to look at reducing the cost of government. Her integrity is seriously in question for she supports Hillary among all the scandals rather than someone like Joe Biden.
Michael Bloomberg Calls Trump a “Dangerous Demagogue”

Hillary Clinton & Michael Bloomberg at the Goldman Sachs new building construction
Former Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg had the audacity to deliver a speech at the Democratic Convention saying, “There are times when I disagree with Hillary Clinton. But let me tell you, whatever our disagreements may be, I’ve come here to say: We must put them aside for the good of our country. And we must unite around the candidate who can defeat a dangerous demagogue.” Bloomberg began at Salomon Brothers, the notorious firm that was shut down for manipulating the US government bond auctions. It was Bloomberg who defended Wall Street against the protest “Occupy Wall Street” and arrested people for exercising their First Amendment Rights.
Bloomberg Politics’ Washington News director Kathy Kiely resigned because Michael Bloomberg will not allow freedom of the press. She said when she resigned in January 2016, “I think that Michael Bloomberg has built a terrific news organization but that he needs to liberate it to cover all the news, even the news about him.“
In my own case, Bloomberg erased all the files on me, so if you put my name into their system the bulk of everything is gone. We even used to publish on Bloomberg. That’s gone. Bloomberg denied there were any stories they published on TV. The movie producer found it elsewhere and had to go to Bloomberg News to say he found what Bloomberg said did not exist. So Bloomberg is not exactly a fair or unbiased organization. They would NEVER publish my allegations against the bank. I believe it was always a one-sided reporting affair to protect the government and the banks.
The question this invokes: Is Michael Bloomberg the dangerous demagogue? Will the real dangerous demagogue please stand up!
