    Trump thinks he's going to bully his way out of this.



    And then you have people believing this nonsense.


    So stupid. As if trying to create a recession is a great idea. The ability some have to follow Trump into the abyss is mind boggling.

        Trump is not smart. Not a good negotiator or particularly a good businessman. If all the media you listen to gives you the impression he is, you need to read, listen to other outlets and people.

        And he is clearly in the tank for Russia.

          Trump's approval and positive image as a public figure was at it's highest in the mid 80's, when the Cold War was still silently raging, the Berlin Wall still stood, and the Soviet Union was a world power and America's prime military foe. I've come to the conclusion that Trump is nostalgic for those days--days when he was perceived by the public as rich, handsome(ish) and affable. In order to recreate that, he has decided he needs to facilitate the re-creation of the Soviet Union.

            So his solution is to try and turn the US in to East Germany?

              I'm sure he'd love for us to be like Reagan's USA, but if being East Germany is what it takes to make it feel like 1987 again, I think he'll take it.

                Can you post a link to this? It's not that I don't believe you but I'd like the link to share with some redhatters. If he said what you say he said, that's really disturbing.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

                      Why is it disturbing that he thinks tariffs are paid by other countries? It's just Trump being stupid Trump.

                        Yeah. So it would have been less disturbing to know that Trump was being deceptive instead of just stupid?

                            I'm not too enthused as I regularly ship product to Canadian customers. For the record, there was already a tariff in place.

                              Did you like the old tariff? Did you want it to continue?
                              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
