Want to know who is behind what Trump spills out? A 32 year old bigot with absolutely no experience.

So how much sway does Miller have over Trump? He and other advisers work with the president on drafts of speeches - it's a set-up common to previous administrations.

But until now, all of the US presidents had previously held elected or appointed offices or served in the military. Trump, a businessman, does not have the same grasp of policy, says Matthew Dallek, the author of a book about Ronald Reagan.

So Trump turns to Miller for help.

The 32-year-old transforms the president's ideas into policy speeches and, says Central Connecticut State University's Jay Bergman, makes them accessible "to the layman".

He also knows his audience.

"Miller understands Trump's base from a rhetorical standpoint and also a policy standpoint," says Matt Mackowiak, a Republican consultant and chair of the Travis County Republicans in Texas. "That's what makes him so effective for some and dangerous for others."

Here are four ways Miller has helped to sway the president.

C'mon, you didn't think dear leader thought up the speeches and minute by minute change of policy on his own did you?  ;D

But you're (not surprisingly) missing the point. If Trump has done one positive thing, (and everyone should recognise this) and that is he's almost single handedly managed to motivate people (especially women) to get up off their asses and get involved in politics, whether that is at community level or aiming higher. The thing is, its mainly against the GOP and Trump.

In other news, the much vaunted increase in jobs is overwhelmingly in none Trump voting counties. And never likely will be..LA valley is the biggest.

And in other other news. The import tariff just imposed on solar panels (30%) will reduce the uptake of solar panel installation, almost certainly see lay offs of installers and possibly see some of the companies closing. "Then that'll force them to manufacture in the USA" I hear some say...Nope. PV materials are not made in the USA and won't be. I used to work in the UK at Du Pont (US firm) that made PV materials that were exported to Australia and the far east who do make the solar panels. The expertise for both is there, not the US. And you wouldn't want those coming to the US to steal the jobs that don't exist in the first place would you? Washing machines too are going to be levied with import tariffs. 50% after the first 1.2 million. How many US jobs is that supposed to generate? They're mainly made by robots not humans.

You need to stop watching CNN. The ITC recommendation was 50% and he went 30/25/20/15/0 by year with an exemption for the first 2.5gw per year. Financial analysts predict increased prices of 3-7% the first year and decreasing from there.

Can you point me to the posts you made objecting to Obama creating the original tariffs against China?  Over 200% antidumping tariff if I remember correctly. This is just an extension (very limited) of existing tariffs to include countries where China moved their production to circumvent the tariffs.

3-7% should be able to be absorbed in the short term due to the lower corporate tax rates.

Presumably Trump has it all planned out that the shortfall in installations and concomitant job losses will be made up by the manufacturing of PV materials in the  US? Placing tariffs is all fine and dandy, but you have to put the alternative in place to begin with. And it will inadvertently harm at least one US company. Unexpected consequences.

Minus his wife; She probably feels too humiliated to face the rest of the world's press and have to field questions about her husband fucking porn stars when she'd recently given birth to their son.  :-\

There won’t be any job losses.

Why do you think she isn't going? Granted, being repulsed by his very presence is a very valid reason too.

I don't know and I don't care. I'd say most intelligent people feel likewise because we're not weaselly, gossipy faggots. GET A LIFE! Between your obsession with Senda and Trump it's amazing you have any time at all for poor Laura. ::)

Because of the facts that I stated.

I have more experience with the actual product than you do..I worked with the scientist who invented three of the materials that go into modern solar panels. The panels are made in the far east because of the overhead costs, they'd be simply too expensive to make in the US, unless of course the people who make them are paid the same as those in the far east? How do you think that would work out?

You don't care? Your first lady refuses to be seen with her husband and you don't care? Maybe she knows more about him than you do and is dropping a big hint?  ???

Or maybe it's nothing, just like the whole Russia thing.

I reckon I have more invested in solar and for longer than you do. International. You aren’t more talented than the Bloomberg or Goldman Sachs energy and financial analysts. I didn’t say more jobs would be created. I said none would be lost because of the tariffs.

That Miller kid is a CREEP and should not be dictating policy.  The dude definitely tortured cats as a kid and he probably got rejected by a Latina in HS, so now we all have to deal with his grudges.  He shoulda got booted along with Sloppy Steve.

Let's hope so eh? It wouldn't do to let people conclude she doesn't want to be seen with him on the world stage.  ???

Remember all those posts from Pud talking about how no jobs would ever come back to the US, regardless of what Trump does?  And that he would specifically cite Apple?

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018/01/apple-accelerates-us-investment-and-job-creation/   

Does anyone think this time he's finally going to stop consuming information from outlets that are demonstrably wrong, or worse - intentionally lying to him?  Of course not.

I know you did. But you're wrong. The cost per unit will be higher. Fewer will be bought and installed. Fewer installers required. The basic supply and demand model.

Go read my original post. Costs won’t go up 30% for an installation. 3-7% and that is only for the first year. Most of the costs are labor costs for installation and markup. The cut to corporate tax rates will more than offset the tariffs.

Oh keep up will you! I said in an earlier post that the principle job increases will be in none Trump counties. You think CA will turn Trump because of Apple? Its going to be mainly R&D and a great many (possibly the majority) will not be Americans working there.

Corporate tax rate reduction will be enjoyed by the shareholders and board. They won't be used to offset rising unit costs, they never do.

The basic supply and demand model suggests more product produced domestically would pick up the slack.

China has targeted multiple industries to dump their product at below cost to force US and other suppliers out.  It's against the WTO rules they said they would abide by when they were allowed to join - which was a mistake as they are still a command economy in many aspects. 

Why on earth would we allow them to target our industries, dump their products, and ultimately drive our our companies out of business?  Because Clinton, Bush II, and Obama did?  Not really a good enough reason
