@GOP @JDVance A few inconvenient FACTS, MAGA, in case you're inclined, despite everything you now know, to actually believe what this Hedge Fund Manager is trying to sell you.
I'll refer to a few highly respected, conservative, trump endorsing economic journals & trump's own words. 1/ @GOP @JDVance Forbes: "The Comprehensive Energy Bill, signed into LAW by Obama in 2015, opened markets for domestic oil producers and expanded the fracking boom. The march to ENERGY INDEPENDENCE Happened under Obama. All mr trump had to do was avoid driving the bus into a ditch." He didn't. 2/

So, in case you missed it, Major Tom did a stand up routine last night, outside Philly. It was, as you might suspect, a rather sedate affair. In big part, I think, because the audience had no fucking idea what he was saying. I certainly didn't. He stood on stage & repeated 1/ a WHOLE BUNCH of what we used to call 'MUMBO-JUMBO' when I was growing up in NYC. The irony, coming from a South African immigrant who came here for the subsidies...and stayed...is that he just HAD to make a typical, cynical, gratuitous political gesture, by having the victims 2/

General John Kelly, former Chief Of Staff: "He was always telling me that we need to use the FBI & IRS to go after people. It was CONSTANT AND OBSESSIVE, and just what he's CLAIMING is being done to him now." 1/
rawstory.com/jd-vance-fact-… But here's the astounding part. Trump is the first 'president' to fire a sitting FBI Directer AND a Deputy Director because.........they REFUSED to violate their OATH and end what we now know were two DAMNING investigations into a conspiracy between a candidate

@JDVance Where to begin. First? THERE are NO WHERE NEAR 25 million human beings in this country illegally. The HIGH estimate is 12 Million. There's that. But there is no way we can let this man, trump or the entire sedition caucus to continue to get away with this.
Hillbilly Effigy 1/ @JDVance appears pained by his contention that you HAVE TO deport these people. He has the BALLS to say: "You have to reestablish some semblance of a reasonable border policy...there has to be a deterrence for people coming here illegally." Why BALLS? Because you only have reach back 2/

FACT: GM Ended production at five plants in Michigan in 2018.
FACT: Trump suggested moving Auto Manufacturing OUT of Michigan into non-Union Red States.
FACT: Trump said "We could've let Detroit go bankrupt during the financial crisis" I find this

rawstory.com/trump-detroit-… last FACT rather amusing. The "we" part. Because "We" is his republican party.

@DonaldJTrumpJr Junior? A few serious questions.
What would YOU do different if:
1. You created 16,504,000 jobs in 42 months. The GREATEST ECONOMIC SURGE by ANY western nation in HISTORY. (vs. a pathetic 6.5 million jobs in 3 years, and the LOSS of 3 MILLION by the time you, mercifully left.)

@DonaldJTrumpJr 2. What would you change if your ECONOMY (which really IS the Greatest in HISTORY) produced 3.5% GDP, and in the latest quater it's be projected UPWARD from 2.9 to 3.3%? (vs. 1.3% GDP)
3. What would you change if you created over 700K Manufacturing jobs, brought back 9
