It is quite obvious that the tariffs are taking a toll on the American economy, tens of thousands of jobs have been lost in factories, farms and other businesses across the nation, military contracts are under threat, the dollar is tanking, and one can count numerous other ways that his seesaw and poorly thought out tariffs are damaging US relations. Don't even mention the stock market as we know that's just simply a up melt that comes before the crash. 

 

In addition it does not help to visit a close ally, be treated like royalty by them in the case of the UK, and then blast them at the United Nations two or three days later. This sort of two faced undiplomatic talk is highly destructive, and he seems to be doing a very good job at diminishing US relationships with its closest allies, while cuddling up to dictators. 

 

After rejecting US F-35 stealth fighters, Spain is reportedly considering acquiring Turkey’s under-development KAAN aircraft. Spain’s decision had come in the backdrop of multiple countries, including Canada, Portugal, and Switzerland, rethinking their commitments to the F-35 program, over rising costs, software delays, a string of mishaps in recent months, and controversy over the US’s backdoor control over the fighter jet through its source code.

 

Meanwhile, the tariffs imposed by the US, the U-turns over Ukraine policy, and the U.S.’s strategic withdrawal from Europe under the Trump administration had prompted European countries to reduce their critical dependence on the US for defense platforms and to purchase European alternatives under the “Rearm Europe” program.

 

“The F-35 carries six tons of ammunition; this one carries 10 tons. It has two engines compared to the F-35’s single engine. Having two engines means more energy and radars illuminating a greater distance,” he added.

 

Meanwhile, Turkey has also announced that its fifth-generation KAAN fighter jet will not rely on American F110 engines and will eventually be powered by the indigenously developed TF35000 jet engines.

Soybeans are the single largest American export to China in terms of value, $12.6 billion worth last year. But as the fall harvest gets underway across the country — 9 percent of planted beans had been harvested as of last week — the country that bought 52 percent of all American soybean exports last year is completely absent.

 

The cause is retaliatory tariffs China has placed on the United States, making the price of American soybeans unattractive for buyers there. Throughout the summer, farmers hoped the Trump administration and China would reach a trade agreement that would drop the tariff on their crops, but so far, no relief was forthcoming.

 

Already, the consequences are stacking up for American farmers. On Monday, the Trump administration pledged to support Argentina as it faces economic turmoil. The same day, Argentina suspended its tax on exports of a number of key crops, including soybeans. Shortly thereafter, Chinese companies bought more than one million tons of Argentine soybeans, according to Reuters, increasing the nation’s ability to hold out from buying the crop from America.

Quite a lot, which is great because to rebuild you have to destroy some of the bad that was there before.

 

To create new good things Trump had to destroy a lot that was there.

 

Which is a good thing.

Still smarting after Trump destroyed your career 50 years ago?

 

Carry on, just making sure the folks know that you carry a personal grudge against a man who is better than you.

Quite a bit to the left’s moral otherwise the rest is just business as usual, though anyone in a state of delusion wouldn’t know it.

Farmers shouldn't be subsidised anyway.

 

Tariffs will pay off bigly in the future. Already new factories being built.

Not allowed out.

Setting all kinds of dangerous precedents, It'll take decades to dig out of the mess.

I think so far Trump’s been great, but I think he needs to start playing hardball. 

Waiting on COLA, but so far, doing an excellent job ...

 

... Tax break next year if needed

... border fairly secure

... criminals getting deported

For example?

Sending US Military in democratic cities (only!) and saying he would consider using the Insurrection Act to deploy the military if federal courts prevented him from deploying the National Guard shows the path that will come.

 

"Domestic terrorists" is used now daily by the trump admin.

 

And however voters once will decide - Magastanies will call the troops to keep Trump in office.

 

Stalin, Putin, Hitler and others have shown how it works. Good night USA - but you wanted to have it this way. Same as the russians you will once wake up and find out, that it's suddenly not so funny anymore.

While those are all great, I do not think any have set new “precedents.

 

 

Speaking of precedents, who was it said they had a pen, and a phone?

 

And who’s AG was their “wingman”?

 

Precedents indeed. “Hypocrite, thy name is lefty.”

Because those democratic cities are the only places where lawlessness is prevalent....and where the local administrations refuse to enforce the law.

Remember they used to say blue states, but the Trump starting sending them to red states, then they had to start saying blue cities. 

 

Except that all the big cities are blue.

 

If violent leftists were not attacking ICE, and if far-left radical city governments cooperated with federal agents, no troops would be sent.
