What did we get that we didn't have when Trump started with the tariffs? 

A $500 million Chinese loan to a Trump investment in Indonesia.

    Now let’s imagine a world where China decides to dump several hundreds of millions of dollars into a campaign to elect a democrat.  And that Democrat openly screams for Beijing’s support.  And uses in

  • Looks like Elkhart County went for Trump 64-32 over Hillary in 2016, so fuck 'em.  Enjoy the tariffs you voted for!

I don’t think China’s policy to steal intellectual property from American companies is not a good thing for our country. 

Well then you're an idiot. The theft of intellectual property from American companies by China is not a good thing for our country.

trump starts a trade war with china.  munchin came out just this week and said "trade war with china is on hold".  trump holds a press conference to say talks with north korea are cancelled.  then the next week says they are back on.   what the fuck is going on up there?  it's like a high school government class is running our country.

that doesn't make any sense whatsoever (german car ban)

What the fuck is going on?

 

  • Author

We started a trade war with our allies.

 

How the fuck does the United States make Canada say "US will have to pay serious cost for its actions"...CANADA.

Trump is such a fucking retard. Best case scenario, he walks back the tariffs like he did with China, and declares it a win, pissing off our allies in the process.

And the market is diving again.

I hope Lou Dobbs is a happy (old) man.

It’s almost like Russia is breaking up our economic alliances from the inside.

But it could be China, or India, or some 400 pound guy in his bed...

No one knows.

That is some mind blowing shit. Has Canada ever threatened the United States in the past 150 years? This is like starting a neighborhood fight with Caillou's family.

I was just reading about how the U.K. will be hit really hard from all of this. I guess even our historical Anglo allies are out the window now. Trump must have forgotten to fuck over Australia.

He's going to place tariffs on Kiwis in hopes of crumbling the New Zealand economy tomorrow.

why not hire them to fix the potholes? Build more roads? 

If this fucks up the steel supply chain and delays delivery of my smoker, I am gonna be really pissed. 

The problem with common sense is the assumption that everyone has it.

There is something of a resemblance.

republican ben sasse has an opinion:

Quote

“This is dumb. Europe, Canada, and Mexico are not China, and you don’t treat allies the same way you treat opponents,” [Sasse said]. “We’ve been down this road before—blanket protectionism is a big part of why America had a Great Depression. ‘Make America Great Again’ shouldn’t mean ‘Make America 1929 Again.”

don't US tariffs have to be approved by Congress, annoying Constitutional stuff to Trump, but still.

The president can raise tariffs by executive order for national security reasons.  What national security reason justifies a tariff on Canadian products only exists in the fevered brain of Putin.  But the GOP will tweet statements of concern and not do a damn thing.

Its infastructure week

The dorks over at /r/the_donald are geeking out over this announcement about how we're finally getting revenge on those EU cucks.

 

Remind me again, when did all of our allies suddenly become our enemies?

The only possible reason I can figure that he would do this is because Putin, trying to drive wedges between allies, told him to.

 

So would now be a good or bad time to go pick up a Benz or Audi?

My best guess is Barron and his friends were up late watching the South Park movie a little too loud around the time Donald woke up for his constitutional.

When Donald took office. 

Whole lot of Trumpkins will be howling before this is over. Not a lot of motivation to turn out for the midterms, at least to vote R. 

Messing with the EU is only a step removed from messing with NATO. Messing with NATO -- even by proxy via a trade war -- won't sit well with our generals, and this is the scenario that could lead to a military coup.

I was told this by a high-level big-city journalist who used to be on the Pentagon beat for a major paper up there, and he told me all this when the idea that Trump could actually win seemed laughable. 

And when I first started throwing the phrase "military coup" around on the old board, I was mocked and dismissed. But since then, you've started hearing it all over the place. Just fucking Google it -- there are too many links out there for me to list.

The lobbyists are going to be doing something. 

I am actually surprised Trump didn’t wait until after the midterms.   There are going to be some Rs in Congress who might have been friendly towards Trump, who are going to truly turn on Trump.

There won’t be a coup.  

The Russian investigation stuff will be fully protected by Congress though, and everybody knows it.

Some will, but plenty will say fuck it and skip the midterms.

Is there really any surprise that Trump operates in this manner.  there were plenty of stories where he screwed over vendors after he had received the materials/services.    This is the world he lived in, so why would he not look for an angle in every relationship.  "We're Canada's biggest trading partner? Time to press them to give us more.  To hell with future dealings."

You know Caillou is dead right?  Cancer (hence the bald head).  That’s why clouds surround most of the scenes and why his grandma is narrating most of it  

The whole cartoon is his grandma telling his little sister about things he did when he was alive.  His little sister was only like 3 when he died.

this is just amazing. we are just flipping off our friends. 

awful. just awful. 

Wow, everyone, Sen. John Cornyn has “some unease”.
