"It's no secret that the Average American is earning less today than they were before the 2008 recession." Stated Mr. Trump. "The reason is simple.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: HOW DO TRUMP SUPPORTERS CELEBRATE? BY...

...OFFERING ANOTHER "GET RICH QUICK" PROGRAM.


ANOTHER PROUD MOMENT IN OUR NATIONS HISTORY.

THE AD BELOW RAN BEFORE AND AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Can Americans double or even triple their incomes this year?

Speaking before a packed auditorium Donald Trump revealed the secret economic plan behind his "Make America Great Again" initiative. "It's no secret that the Average American is earning less today than they were before the 2008 recession." Stated Mr. Trump. "The reason is simple. There are people who know how to make money very easily, and they've rigged the system for themselves without sharing their secrets with people who really need it."
"I'm going to change all that" Mr. Trump added.
"It's time that people realized the amazing potential the American people have to create income for themselves and their families. The truth is, the average American can double or even triple their income today without making any changes to their current lifestyle." Mr. Trump went on.
The secret, he says, is in taking advantage of the leverage available on the internet.
"It's no secret that I made my fortune in real estate and television, because those were the best opportunities available at the time. But times have changed. Right now, an average American with no special skills and no investment can go out and start earning income online today."
Mr, Trump says the best opportunity available is a new program called Auto Home Profits which teaches regular people to take advantage of this massive internet opportunity quickly and easily, and even places them with real online companies that pay them for their time comlpeting simple tasks.
"Shelly Davis is absolutely changing the world with her Auto Home Profits program" he said. "Normally, rich people keep the secrets to their wealth to themselves. But Sara, she has found an amazing opportunity, and she is sharing it with everyone. That's incredible."
Trump has not hidden his affection for Ms. Davis. He has recently been praising her on social media for her efforts to teach regular people how to create amazing wealth in their spare time.

We investigated the claims made by Mr. Trump and Ms. Davis, and what we found is nothing short of amazing.

Ms. Davis has been selectively sharing her program with a few exclusive students before the public debut, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular. We interviewed several of Ms. Davis' students and have found similar results among all of her students.
Theresa Andrews of Lehi , 28 never thought that she would work online, until curiosity got the best of her and she ordered Ms. Davis' Auto Home Profits. Before she knew it, she discovered her secret to beating the recession, and being able to provide for her family while at home with her three children.
I heard about Theresa from a colleague last month and decided to feature her story in our weekly consumer report. In our phone interview she told me her amazing story. "I actually make about $6,000-$8,000 a month working from home online. It's enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 15-18 hours a week from my own home online. It gives me so much time to spend with my family."
A check Theresa recently received using the Auto Home Profits System
Working online has been a financial windfall for Theresa, who struggled for months to find a decent job but kept hitting dead ends. "I lost my job shortly after the recession hit, I needed reliable income, I was not interested in the "get rich quick" scams you see all over the internet. Those are all pyramid schemes. I just needed a legitimate way to earn a living for me and my family. The best part of working online is that I am always home with the kids. Thanks to the Auto Home Profits System I am now giving my kids the childhood they deserve."
I asked her about how she started her remarkable journey. "It was pretty easy, I saw the invitation from Shelly Davis about the Auto Home Profits program and I was immediately interested. I knew about Shelly Davis from TV and knew she was legit, and since they offered a "3-Month Satisfaction Guarantee" - I figured I really had nothing to lose. so I invested in the course.
"I got the course and within five weeks I had made over $8,000!!! It's really simple, I am not a computer whiz, but I can use the internet. I follow Shelly Davis' simple instructions. I don't even have to sell anything and nobody has to buy anything from me". There are still a few positions available at the time of this report, you should try it.
The companies you work with are worth over 100 billion dollars and are the most used sites in the internet market place, like Amazon, Google, Walmart, Delta, Apple and more... You're using the top ranked sites in the world, over 50 percent of all internet traffic flows through them everyday. It's a great opportunity and this has been helping people work at home online for over 5 years. Why not get in with the internet's best and biggest companies?
There are plenty of scams on the internet claiming you can make $50,000 a month, but that is exactly what they are, scams. This kit, however, is not definately not one of those! From my conversation with Theresa, "I am making a good salary from home online, which is amazing, under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. Today I make about $80/Hr and I don't even have to leave the house. I thank God every day that I filled out that form and got my Auto Home Profits access just minutes later"
Quickly, Theresa Andrews was to use the simple Shelly Davis' Auto Home Profits course to triple her income in less than 2 months.

If you would like to take advantage of the same opportunity as Theresa, here's how to get started:

Step 1
Go to Shelly Davis' Auto Home Profits, and fill out the form to get instant online access to the program.
Step 2
Use Shelly Davis' Auto Home Profits and follow the simple online instructions.
Step 3
Deposit your Earnings by check or direct bank transfer, you get paid weekly. (Making money has never been so easy. Get ready for your life to change.)

MAKE IT KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC.
LET'S KEEP SCORE:

FINANCIAL SCAMS ENDORSED BY TRUMP-  BEFORE AND AFTER THE ELECTION.


SUPREME COURT GIVEN TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

WITHOUT A FIGHT.

RIGGED PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION-  DEMOCRATS BLAME

EACH OTHER FOR THE LOSS, IGNORING THE EVIDENCE

REFUSING TO USE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL SAFEGUARDS

TO FIGHT THE NEW "TAX PROGRAM."

EXACTLY, HOW IS THIS FIGHTING FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

ALLOWING PRESIDENT DONALD "I'M PUTINS PUPPET" TRUMP TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK ON PROGRESS. (UPDATED)


Trump Me Narcissism Grandiosity Self-CenteClouds, Landscape, Beyond, Sky, Rays









2008-2016
A PROGRESSIVE LEGACY
Over the last Eight Years we have seen Progressive Democrats support
an Economic Policy that included;

-  An increase in the Federal Minimum Wage of 7.25/ hr.
Which was opposed, and killed, by Congressional Republicans.
( However, on the State Level, there are examples of Minimum Wage
Guidelines that the Republican Party couldn't stop).

-  Expanding the Time Period for receiving Unemployment Benefits, to
   Temporarily Relieve Financial Distress associated with Job loss.

-  Financial Relief for crippling costs incurred through Higher Education.

-  Consumer Laws protecting Americans from predatory practices by
    Dishonest Marketers.

    Of course, this list does not include the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT,
    which resulted in Millions of Americans obtaining Medical Care
    Insurance that would not result in Crippling Debt, or a Dramatic
    Decrease in Their Quality of Life.

The Republicans, besides attempting to stop all of the above, stuck with
the old "TRICKLE DOWN THEORY" OF ECONOMICS. Let's see what
that includes:

TAX BREAK INCENTIVES, WHICH ALLOWS THE RICHEST AMERICANS
TO RETAIN MORE OF THEIR WEALTH, WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL
 PUMP THAT MONEY BACK INTO THE ECONOMY.

TO RECEIVE THIS INCENTIVE, ARE THEY
REQUIRED TO:

-  INVEST IN SPECIFIC INDUSTRIES THAT ARE STRUGGLING?- NO.

-  FINANCIALLY SUPPORT CORPORATIONS WHO PROVIDE A LIVING
   WAGE, OR A MEDICAL PLAN FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES?- NO.

-  ONLY SUPPORT AMERICAN BUSINESSES, INSTEAD OF TAKING THE
    FINANCIAL WINDFALL OVERSEAS?-  NO.

THESE TAX BREAKS ARE BASED ON THE "HOPE" THAT THEY WILL BE USED
TO BENEFIT THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.

However, don't worry. If these incentives are used unwisely, and the MONEY DISAPPEARS,
ALL IS NOT LOST. CORPORATIONS FORMED ARE PLACED INTO BANKRUPTCY,
MEANING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FOOTING THE BILL FOR POOR MONEY
MANAGEMENT.  AS FOR THE WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVED THE
TAX BREAK BENEFITS, AND LOST THE MONEY? THEY WILL JUST DECLARE THESE
LOSSES ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL TAX RETURNS, AND BASICALLY GET IT ALL BACK.

Do you think THAT ONE OF THE REASONS DONALD TRUMP IS RELUCTANT TO MAKE HIS TAX RETURNS PUBLIC, COULD BE THE RESULT OF THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER FOOTING THE BILL FOR HIS FINANCIAL LOSSES?


THE REPUBLICANS- WHO ARE THEY FIGHTING FOR AGAIN?
