Do they start 6 topics a day about Trump?

Less than 6 months and almost 8000 posts, mostly defending Trump and Putin. That's about 45 posts a day. I'd rather sit in a bar and drink as opposed to sitting in one of Putin's propaganda factories like you do.

Nah they are losers. Done nothing for 70 years. Obsessed with Trump. Backseat drivers. Can't even get out of Pattaya to see the real Thailand. Chang beer, fake gf. Talking <deleted> about Trump daily. What a sad retirement.

And you? They may post or start topics about Trump, you enthusiastically join in!

 

You do seem to have the time (or little else to do) but track individuals who are insufficiently, shall we say, sympathetic, to your views across the various forums on this board...

I rarely if ever talk about Putin and I dont defend Trump at all. I just post facts. You lefties are losers. Wrong about everything.

More Putin propaganda. You should ask for a raise, that is, assuming you're being paid at all. Maybe you're one of the prisoners being forced to do this.

One of us does, and I'm sure it's not me. Start a poll and see what the members say.

Apple phones that people think are wonderful are also made in China. If they are good phones who cares.

You sure do pal. You brought up Putin's name not me. Go speak to a doctor.

What will take 5 years ?

 

Perhaps the fact that for the phone to be made in the USA, first you need to build the factory, then you need to staff it (which won't be cheap), then you need to test the product before you put it to the market. The phone will not be cheap to buy. Then you will need to compete with all the new smart phones which will come along during those years, made offshore and cheaper.

 

Nothing is instant.

 

Of course if you know of a better, cheaper and quicker way, then please tell us all.

That's easy. Back to the old international trade system Trump is trying to kill. Problem solved.

Won't take 5 yrs to set up a facility to assemble an existing China made phone in the USA.

Trump should just buy China....United States of China, the 51st American State !

And yet he is not on any sex offender registers.... would that be because it was not a criminal conviction ?

No one cares, unless you are telling everyone it is built in the USA in order to get rednecks to proudly buy it based on that lie.

I think that you, if anyone, have rather lost it. I don't think that I have ever discussed or even mentioned "inflation" on any forum!

 

Anyway, carry on laughing. The entertainment is mutual if limited! I am sure we await your next unsolicited jibe with interest.

I can see why they are so obsessed, I was recently listening to a bbc radio channel, the news was every 60 minutes, what ever Trump had said the day before was their top story and came before any actual UK news.

The newsom-trump spat came before drowning of some illegal dinghy crossers or the 1000 others that  had crossed that week, or the grooming gang investigations

Most of you lefties claimed Trump tariffs would cause worldwide inflation. Wrong.

 

Just admit you have no idea.

While tacos have undeniable Mexican roots, the Americanized version has evolved into a distinct culinary creation. The adaptations and innovations that have taken place in the United States have transformed tacos into a unique and beloved American food.

True, but "American" tacos are precisely the same as "American" Italian food and "American" Chinese food:  only fit for the trash can.

Make America Great Again

 

The Trump American Eagle Guitar

https://gettrumpguitars.com/ was found to have been made in China at the same factory that manufactures many of the name brand guitars sold at retailers like "Musicians Friend" and Guitar Center.

 

Man, how so many got fooled and duped into thinking Trump was gonna do some about face and suddenly give a sh!t about the American people rather than himself is just mind boggling.

 

Ferkin' total scam artist.

 

One thing YOU NEVER HEAR TRUMP SAY is;

 

We are gonna make sure the rich pay their fair share of taxes!

 

This is something most democratic leaders talk about. Trump is supposed to make America Great for the American People yea?

 

So why not make the rich pay their fair share of taxes! 

So far he has't released any of his tax returns. That's out of a lot of peoples minds. Distracted by all the Elon drama and now the wars being fought by Israel

 

Mark my word, people are not gonna see ANY significant tax reductions. Prices will continue to go up. Taxes won't be reduced.

 

Trump fans got duped! Doh!!

Just admit you have no idea.

I am so most certainly not a "lefty" by any coherent standards. I am actually fairly conservative, and liberal in my political opinions. It is only by the most frothy mouthed application of American political metrics that I would ever be considered left wing.

 

I have never claimed that Trump's tariffs would cause worldwide inflation, although I am prepared to be advised by those better schooled in global economics that that could be the case. I certainly fail to see how they can avoid having inflationary effects upon the internal US market!

 

Let us consider an often discussed commodity, children's dolls manufactured in China and immensely popular with little girls in the US. It really is plain as a pikestaff that if you impose a tariff on them, levied at the point of import, the retail price will go up; and very likely the supply will be reduced. Inflation. The same doll, also from China, imported by other countries which do not impose tariffs will not have to cope with this inflation.

 

The tariff system being imposed is very likely to do grave damage to the United States economy, and probably lead to widespread restructuring of the global trade structure - we are already seeing many products previously traded with the US going to and from other markets. This may be, initially, inflationary, perhaps, but medium and long-term free trade cannot but reduce or at least stabilise prices. The US (or it's current government) seems to have decided to have broken from this principle, and they are unlikely to be treated as a trustworthy partner in trade, or many other matters on the international stage in the future.

 

So no, I don't admit that I have no idea. You may of course reduce all discussions to disparaging, and frankly at times, abusive one liners, accompanied by an emoji, but really this only reveals the fragility and lack of depth of your argument.

 

PS, I don't much like Chang, I far prefer Carabao Dunkel Beer, don't have a "fake girlfriend" and live about as far from Pattaya as is possible whilst remaining within the borders of Thailand. Sorry to spoil your stereotyping!
