Milchow would be much better or Milky for short. Make it so

Disagree. He needs the Milch to be a phonetic parody of 'milk'. That's the pun. And you just don't fuck with puns.
besides, they don't call milk cows* 'milcows' just because it rolls off the tongue easier.

*Milk cows being the renownedly correct nomenclature for dairy cattle. Trust me, I live in the country O_o

Latest US economic date - GDP has hit 4.2%
President Obama once mocked Trump when Trump claimed he would raise GDP to over 4% by saying "he will need a magic wand to achieve 4% GDP"

Who's the chump now Obama haha.

Milk cows are called "milch cows" because ye olde middle English spelling of milk was "milch" (or "milche") Its not really a pun.

I aint got the time to confirm either way, but I'd be careful on that one. It may well be the case that Obama has never actually said that...

Can you actually find evidence of Obama actually saying that?

Obama's "Magic wand" comments were about negotiating better trade deals (and a general improvement in the economy) , the specific reference to 4% GDP is something Trump has made up to make himself look better

Yes, thats the conclusion I came to albeit on some very brief reading, hence why I didnt want to state anything for certain.

The point here though is that these days you need to be very careful in how you interpret what you see and read in the 'media'

Throwing insults around can backfire, particularly if your source is a Trump tweet Smile

The Washington post article goes into some detail on the absurdity (and inaccuracy) of the contents of the series of tweets that Trump fired out in the last 24 hours about the economy. Its seriously scary if his tweets are a reflection of his economic literacy - but I guess thats something that won't be news to many.

You've gotta love a bloke who abuses his allies but gets all chummy with human rights abusing dictators.
Trump and Fiona use the same thesaurus

I know we've been living it now for some time, but it still blows my mind that the President of the USA literally acts like a 10 year old. The times we live in aye Rolling Eyes

The more you know! :ThumbsUp:

I think it is also important to study data closer when making bold claims.
US GDP has been rising since 2010. Same as the unemployment rate is dropping. Trump is not wrong to claim that the economy is booming under his watch.
But then if the Panthers win the GF this year, Cameron Ciraldo is the mastercoach who guided them there all by himself.

The first round of the play offs were definitely state of origin style with some massive impacts with the games being played at a hectic pace. They also had plenty of injuries/hia's which luckily for fantasy didn't happen a few rounds ago. I was impressed with the Panthers & Dragons in the respect that they were able to turn around very poor recent form & really nail a great team performance when it mattered.
