Concerned about Trump's nonsensical financial thinking? Maybe that gets resolved. Here is why.

Understand that Trump's calling for the US to "uncouple from China" may be a good long range plan,  but it is an impossible plan,  in the short term.  While Trump has used four professional bankruptcies to escape over a billion dollars of debt,  debt he invited on the promise that he would repay,  that will not work with the trillion dollar debt we owe to both China and Japan.   "Uncoupling" is as much a fantasy as the thought that Hillary never received or sent classified emails during the four years she was the Secretary of State.  

We should not make the mistake of equating Trump's knowledge as to how to leverage money and get filthy rich as a realtor with the thought that he understands the stock market.  

As a retired red-neck conservative thinking about supporting Trump,  I want to know his plan(s) for doing whatever he claims he can do.  As things stand at the moment,  I see him selling "trust me" politics and I am not interested.  

But,  all this might change.  This coming month,  some of our most respected conservative financial advisers will be meeting with Trump to review effective fiscal policies.  This group includes Steven Moore,  Art Laffer,  and Steve Forbes.  I will be one who follows this meeting and the rhetoric Trump uses following that meeting.  

There is a GOP debate in mid-September.  It would be nice if we see a Donald Trump who actually have specifics in mind other than "trust me."  Agree?
