    The “trust” gap is that Trump will absolutely tax rich people less… but if the pie is smaller because Trump is busy putting the economy in a nosedive, you’re gonna make less money anyways. So it’s better to keep a smaller portion of a bigger pie.

    You’d have to be a special type of moron to trust Trump on the economy. Or anything else for that matter.

      Besides the fact that macro- and microeconomics are vastly different, his multiple bankruptcies should give you ample evidence that economy is the last thing to trust him on. It’s amazing how little facts matter, and how many people take him at his word. I never realised ActLikeYouBelong would work on this scale, but apparently just claiming you’re a genius billionaire is enough for millions of people.
