We may discuss this topic here because we now have indisputable "solid evidence" of the fact from the horse's as....er, mouth.
Let's take a look, shall we?
(Remember, this is the guy who "graduated at the top of his class" :lol: from Wharton School of Finance and Commerce.)

"President Donald Trump claimed in a recent interview that he "came up with" the phrase "prime the pump."
In an interview with The Economist published Thursday, Trump said he would be fine with his proposed tax cuts increasing the deficit in the short term because they would stimulate growth, a strategy he described as "priming the pump."

"It is OK, because it won't increase it for long," Trump said. "You may have two years where you'll … you understand the expression 'prime the pump'?"
Trump then went on to tell the Economist interviewer that he "came up with" the phrase.

"Have you heard that expression used before?" Trump asked The Economist. "Because I haven't heard it. I mean, I just … I came up with it a couple of days ago and I thought it was good. It's what you have to do."
"Yeah, what you have to do is you have to put something in before you can get something out," Trump continued.

Trump, however, was far from the first to use the phrase.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary pointed out on Twitter that the phrase had existed since the early 1800s and had been used by the government for 84 years.
"'Pump priming' has been used to refer to government investment expenditures since at least 1933," the dictionary's Twitter account said."-Business Insider

You may now discuss Trump's staggering ignorance...

[Intrepid]

That's the best you got? Killery guilty of multiple felonies including endangering national security with her flagrant disregard for handling top secret information, ordering the murder of DNC staffers, and Obozo bumbling through eight years of destroying the economy and that's the best you can do?

Now we can add spastic flailing to the list of your many failures.

Make sure to pound the arms of your wheelchair and throw in a few dozen emoticons with your predicted tantrum response, boy.

Loser Boy AssClown Insipid seems to think the topic of this thread is his own ignorance.
It's also hilarious that he just admitted he read my multiple-paragraph post, which he claims he never does. But this proves he hangs on my every word.
So he must believe we want to talk about his ignorance AND his lying, I guess.

Let me spell it out for the rest of the mentally challenged here: the topic of this thread is Trump's ignorance, not your own.

Discuss.

[johnforbes]

Is there evidence this is a real quote?

The expression "prime the pump" has been used, in terms of finance, for a long time -- certainly since Greenspan's time.

[Clownkicker]

"... since Greenspan's time."? :lol:
Apparently johnforbes got his multiple degrees without ever being exposed to Keynes.


Of course there is evidence this is a real quote, johnny.

Simply go to the Economist website and read the transcription of the complete interview.
I would post a link, but I don't want to insult you.

[Intrepid]

In other words, the quote is a product of the fevered imagination of the Marxist Loser AssClown.

[Clownkicker]

You did NOT produce those quotes, Loser Boy AssClown Insipid. Trump did.

But as I said, we are not here to discuss your ignorance. Please try to stay on topic.

Trump didn't use the phrase "Pump Priming" he said prime the pump, you libtards are in the melt down mode, this is a prime example of how far you'll go to try something, anything, to try and convince everyone Trump's not perfect. :lol:

[Clownkicker]

How many times must I say it?

RealTool, this thread is NOT about your ignorance. Please stay on topic.

[johnforbes]

Without a link, I'd have to say Clowntoker just made this up.

As to "prime the pump" being in the vernacular of the average citizen, the mere fact of Keynes using it would be irrelevant.

The vast bulk of the world's population has never heard of Keynes, much less read him.

As to vast bulk, those words have often been used to describe Clowntoker's physique.

[Intrepid]

All of Keynes economic theories have either failed or been discredited.
And now, so too has the Marxist tool AssClown been as well.

As the AssClown himself puts it so well, "Stop making up stupid shit."

[namngulfvet]

ANOTHER PULL IT OUT OF HIS ASS PERSONAL OPINION BY NONE OTHER THEN THE ASSCLOWN. WHERES THE LINK TO BACK THIS UP YOU LYING ASS COMMIE TRAITOR. GO BACK TO SUCKING THE SHIT OUT OF OJACKASEES ASSHOLE THATS SOMETHING YOU DO QUITE WELL YOU SUCK ASS..

Then I would think you would start to get alarmed by Trump promoting the Keynesian economic philosophy that it's the government's job to "prime the pump" of the economy with deficit spending, you ignorant runny turd. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[johnforbes]

Come on, a Democrat pretending to be concerned with a deficit?

Obama racked up more debt than all prior presidents combined -- almost 10 trillion.

[Intrepid]

Keynes posited the economy is a zero sum game, i.e., when someone makes a dollar, someone else must perforce, have to lose a dollar. He did not recognize wealth and value can be crested.
He's the darling of you and the collectivists because you think all money is the property of the government and it's the responsibility of enlightened elitists like B. Hussein Obozo to spread it around as they see fit. Which always, every single time, results in nothing more than everyone being equally miserable.

Seriously you should stick to sucking shit out of Ojackasses asshole. your good at that lester

[Clownkicker]

Once again Loser Boy AssClown Insipid is flailing about because he is too stupid to understand he is arguing with me when he SHOULD be arguing with Trump.

Trump is the one bragging about his Keynesian philosophy, not me.

Still, it's hilarious to see the AssClown Insipid desperately try to maintain support for Trump despite the fact Trump is selling out Insipid's most cherished beliefs.
But Insipid doesn't care how foolish it makes him look as long as he can humiliate himself for my entertainment.
My hypocritical slack-jawed bitch urinal Insipid grovels again! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Intrepid]

Silly ass word games are the last refuge of the cripple AssClown.
Call the attendant for your nightly Xanax AssClown.
You have a big day of being best down and humiliated tomorrow.
That's a good boy.

[Clownkicker]

More undeniable "solid evidence" that Trump is a moron:

Here we see how he was completely played by Stephen Colbert

Trump keeps dancing for liberals as helplessly as Loser Boy AssClown Insipid dances on command for my entertainment.

"You have a big day of being best..."-Slack-jawedBitchUrinalInsipid
Yes, Loser Boy, I appreciate your good wishes for another day of besting you. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now dance for me some more! I command you! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Clownkicker]

johnny, this thread isn't about 'concern for the deficit,' dimwit. How do you always manage to simply miss the obvious point?

This thread is about Trumps childish lying as he preaches the Keynesian philosophy of it being the government's job to "prime the pump of the economy with deficit spending" to the pliable reactionary crowd who are now suddenly eating it up.

I hope you somehow managed to go to The Economist website and read the interview for yourself, johnny.
I know it's a burden to have to educate yourself, but I hope I have taught you something in all these years.
