Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» The Chief Executive Officer of JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon, says "it's almost embarrassing being an American citizen". Agree/dis/why?
The thought that so many people from countries other than the US read your new posts every day has crossed my mind over the past 6 or 8 months, yes. It doesn't lead me all the way to being embarrassed to be an American, but it certainly doesn't help either.
Is it possible to get reasonably up-to-date numbers to immigration applications from citizens of other countries?
It is my impression that Trump have had more 'success' in bringing that number down than he have had in getting the Mexican government to pay for his wall.
Just looking at the backlash over the travel-ban issue, I doubt that fewer people are applying to enter the US legally. Remember, for decades, even some people from countries, cultures and sub-cultures with vehemently anti-US attitudes apply for US visas in droves. Add to that the number of pro-US people who apply for them too.
He's doesn't give a damn about "average Americans". He runs a globalist bank that wishes to see average Americans shackled in debt, spending the rest of their lives in indentured servitude to the banks.
He's just frustrated that he can't get his agenda through. That is something for Americans to take great pride in, so f*** him and his sort.

Aww well this probably won't go down well and I will probably face yet more personal insults and nastiness.. but I say this objectively.. that unfortunately America has take a hard beating in the last decades over their actions, misguided actions and decisions in the world arena. The financial crisis really didn't help, and affected many others badly who had perhaps places too much faith in America.. etc etc.. and now we have the Trump fiasco.. a man with NO manners, no style and who is as ignorant as they come, a man who almost no other country would even consider electing.. and sadly this is going to take it's toll.. America was already down.. but Trump's election will damage you further.. Yes I might be wrong but we will wait and see..
I've sad before. but American's generally are considered to be quite insular. many don't know, or care about the rest of the world.. and what they think.. That's fine but the problem is that America does still want to play on the world stage and they do still want to be thought of and seen as ONE of the world leaders.. well you can't have it both ways.. and unfortunately the last decade or so, and then finally Trump have cost AMerica dearly in terms of respect.
Ah, Jamie "John Gotti" Demon, I mean Dimon, the REAL "Teflon Don" of the New York banking world . . . Yeah, I put a LOT of stock into what that thief says . . .
