Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[LP]

Governments and leaders always claim it is their doing when things are going well (and someone else's fault when they're not....).

Funny thing is, economies go up and down regardless of who has the reins.  And while Government policy plays a part, it is only a relatively small contributor in large Capitalist countries like the US.  Do you think the big money-makers would have just shut up shop if Hilary had won?

The biggest problem is that Donald seems to actually think it is all down to him.......

Yes, I have a contact formerly from the Aust Tax Office that would 100% agree with what you state. She tells me Gov Policy takes years to have any real impact, the stats from tax collection tell her about 6~7 years on average to put a number on it. So any policy benefit or detriment usually and nearly always comes long after the policymaker has gone! In effect that means someone like Trump or Scotty from Marketing are claiming the good work of their predecessors.

There is one rather significant way to break the rule and force Gov policy to have an immediate impact, start a war!
