Obama made big business stronger than ever in the US. Never has big business, including big banks, been as loved and protected as under Obama. It's the small entrepreneurs that have been crushed.Obama had to repair the broken auto. Trump merely stepped in after he got it running. And you're crediting him with what? Not crashing it again in a few months after taking office. OK, well, that's a low bar. — Baden
Yeah, while crippling my small business which cannot afford to hire 10 Hanovers to find loopholes in the law — Agustino
The entrepreneurial part of the economy is the absolute most important part (that doesn't include big business). If you cripple the entrepreneurial part of the economy, everyone else will suffer soon.Perhaps. There are always going to be people who lose out, whether it's the big business owners, the small business owners, the consumers, the workers, or the environment. — Michael
Of course, if you have more money than you know what to do with, you don't have to be looking, the 10 Hanovers will do that by themselves for you.Any would would you be looking to find loopholes in the law anyway? — Michael

The workers ain't gonna make work for themselves will they? The consumers ain't going to produce for themselves no? — Agustino
Yes, they do stop entrepreneurship. I don't want us to become a world where we all work for a few big huge corporations, and all of us have jobs - so long as we work for them. That's like communism, except that not the state, but a few large companies are doing it.No, but so what? Regulations don't stop business. People had work and consumers had goods to buy under Obama. — Michael
Paul Manafort and his former business associate Rick Gates were told to surrender to federal authorities Monday morning, the first charges in a special counsel investigation, according to a person involved in the case.
Paul J. Manafort, Jr., 68, of Alexandria, Va., and Richard W. Gates III, 45, of Richmond, Va., have been indicted by a federal grand jury on Oct. 27, 2017, in the District of Columbia. The indictment contains 12 counts: conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements, false statements, and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts.
Why does it suddenly go up at a faster rate ever since Trump was elected?! — Agustino

High-frequency trading isn't the same as instability in financial markets. It would depend on how heavy momentum is, and instability is typically marked by rapidly falling prices.Rapid growth, like rapid decline, is indicative of increased high-frequency trading, which is instability in the market place. — Metaphysician Undercover
The Trump campaign worked behind the scenes last week to make sure the new Republican platform won’t call for giving weapons to Ukraine to fight Russian and rebel forces, contradicting the view of almost all Republican foreign policy leaders in Washington.
Throughout the campaign, Trump has been dismissive of calls for supporting the Ukraine government as it fights an ongoing Russian-led intervention. Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, worked as a lobbyist for the Russian-backed former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych for more than a decade.
Still, Republican delegates at last week’s national security committee platform meeting in Cleveland were surprised when the Trump campaign orchestrated a set of events to make sure that the GOP would not pledge to give Ukraine the weapons it has been asking for from the United States.
