The United States will not allow other countries to impose massive Tariffs and Trade Barriers on its farmers, workers and companies. While sending their product into our country tax free. We have put up with Trade Abuse for many decades — and that is long enough.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 9, 2018

I think the photo with "Little Justin"'s eyebrow falling off is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteEd,
DeleteI saw that! Absolutely hilarious. Is it real or a PhotoShop?
There were wonderful threads on twitter about the eyebrows.. such a hoot. As for the tariffs, I would have wished he had gotten into this after the election.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, tariffs were the major way we paid for our government until the income tax was implemented.
We have over 12,000 tariffs in place right now...nothing new....
Bunkerville,

What does appear to be new: this POTUS is demanding reciprocal rates.

Sorry, we cannot let our friends, or enemies, take advantage of us on Trade anymore. We must put the American worker first!

Delete....Germany pays 1% (slowly) of GDP towards NATO, while we pay 4% of a MUCH larger GDP. Does anybody believe that makes sense? We protect Europe (which is good) at great financial loss, and then get unfairly clobbered on Trade. Change is coming!
Oh, I am right there with you... just trying to point out to those who think we will go to hell in a hand basket if we attempt a tariff to get to "fair trade." Didn't mean to be obtuse.
DeleteThe belief that a trade war is the best resolution of a trade imbalance is foolish.
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't really dealt with the Chinese trade deficit and seems stymied.
Protectionism is not an acceptable trade policy.
Steaming off key allies only makes sense to the tunnel visioned U.S. über alles folk, retaliatory tariffs will be directed at red state product and there will be inflation.
He hasn't thought this out.
Tariffs are not the end game. They are a bargaining position.
DeleteYou haven't thought this out. Blind rage and festering ideological hatred will do that to you.
I'm still waiting for Nostradumbass to move to Venezuela.
DeleteNow, they are in a pure fucking panic. Desperately trying to spin this to make Trump look bad. Oh, they will. They already are, and their demented sheep are of course following right along.
ReplyDeleteIn less than two years isis is gone, no longer part of the globalist TPP scam, economy booming, jobs coming back to America, the 70 year armistice is over, and NK has given up their nuclear aspirations.
IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS.
Now, lets all have a nice hardy disrespectful laugh at the left and their feeble fucking weak attempts at spinning this
Razor Sharp Claws, I agree with you except we don't really know what the little fat Nork is doing at this point in time. The Norks have been blowing hot and cold for a lot of years now. We shall see.
DeleteI guess that now that asswipe Robert Di Niro will be OFF the Headlines!
ReplyDeleteI don't pay much attention to people that pretend to be other people for a living.
DeleteSuch people should stick to what they do well -- in De Niro's case, acting!
