Just stop calling this tariffs this in my view is a trump tax designed to help American factories keep prices high stifle competition and is just another form of corporate welfare payed for by the American working class.every time I pay more for something I just call it the trump tax.

I think it's safe to say at this point that Trump is completely lost, he loved the idea of tariffs, they were a great talking point with voters, make America great again is his favorite slogan, but we know it's never going to happen. 

 

 

 

Trump manufactures overseas, every opportunity he gets, to save money. Bibles, baseball caps, and likely countless other things. So, calling him very disingenuous would be an understatement.

 

 

You mean my Trump bible was made in China ?

Not the grown-ups, that much is obvious. Poor Rubio, the only grown-up in the cabinet has been pushed aside by a bunch of MAGA clowns.

He won't last long.

So you think Rubio is a "grown up"?  If there's one clown in the world right now that has a real chance of starting WWIII and ending humanity as we know it, it's Rubio.  He and whatever Neocon clowns he has at his disposal.  Playing the "American Exceptionalism" game might work OK in some Third World neck of the woods, but in the Middle East, with Netanyahu seemingly calling the shots for the Neocon crowd, with multiple parties involved, including Iran, Russia, China, Turkey and Egypt?  It's hard to imagine a bigger mess.  A conflict that has been brewing for years with no solution is sight.  "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran."  Is that the mantra?  Doesn't sound too "adult" to me.  They already have Trump bombing Yemen.  The path to peace and prosperity? Or a big mistake?

I unnerstan' you perfectly.

 

I work, I make money, I invest, I make more money.

 

But it's not MY money.

 

It belongs to my betters who can distribute it better.

For sure we all want to work so the lazy can have the benefit of our labour. No desire to be in whatever bizarro world you live in.
