[Hoot Gibson]

Just heard Peter Morici speak on this very matter on Charles Payne's show. He said in response to charges that Trump's economic policies would lead the US down the same path as was the prelude to WW1, and I quote, "a 45% tariff makes perfect sense to me." and then he went on to express his general disagreement with the whole premise of those who disagree with the Trump economic model, that would include you BTW.

And you'll have to forgive me, but I must have missed the point in time when you established your self to be anything other than a gossip monger, much less in a position to slam the renowned of the Trump economic team. Because as RIUTG accurately assessed weeks ago, you're view of life always has a desktop and a keyboard in the foreground of any endeavor in which you are associated. But again, this conversation is about your propensity to make false statements about the Republican nominee. And from my perspective, no depth to that end is too low for you to stoop.

I have not criticized Trump's economic advisers. I have criticized Trump. He is too dimwitted to follow good advice, no matter who he surrounds himself with. A candidate is responsible for what he says (and tweets) during a campaign.

Advisers can easily be replaced. Trump's problem is himself, and unfortunately upgrading a candidate is not nearly as easy.

Why hasn't Trump released his academic transcripts? What is he hiding by refusing to release his tax returns, despite the fact that every Republican candidate has done so since 1976?

There is an honesty and trust issue here, and his name is Donald J. Trump Many, but not all of his supporters are afflicted with the same character issues and do not know how to engage in civil political debate.
