The Trumpers sure have gotten quiet in here, recently.
Sure, you've got the parrots Seer and his son Sven regurgitating their MAGA feed.
But, the rest of them are in the fetal position... now that they've finally realized that Trump didn't give two shits about them.
I think we were all completely aware of what Trump was trying to do when he cut the department of education.
He was trying to expand his voter base.

The only people I hear crying so far are folks who are in the stock market. That’s a very small percentage of Americans.
My new understanding of Trump’s intent is to stop China and the EU from fucking with us…to regain the upper hand that we’ve conceded over the last 20 years.

That would be funnier if US education hadn’t gone straight to fucking hell since the Dept of Education’s inception.

I laughed.
You don't listen very well.
Go ask the ranchers and farmers if they would vote for Trump again.
Of course, you may need to head down to the homeless shelter to talk to them.

Don’t think so.
BTW, my wife’s retirement package hasn’t missed a beat. Maybe you aren’t listening to the right people.

I had no idea your wife was a rancher and farmer.
Good for her.

The people in here bitching about the market have no idea how the markets work.
The market has been overvalued for close to a decade now.
Those that are worried have managed their investments poorly.
You ignorant bed wetters just assumed the party would last.
Simple as that.

…Bowser chose to remove a Black Lives Matter memorial to appease administration officials and has stepped up the removal of graffiti and homeless encampments following Trump’s complaints.
Trump has also set up a federal task force on D.C. crime fighting that does not include a single local official…
…it’ll be great.

The last time we had a military parade was in 1991, following the Gulf War victory.
Why in the hell are we having one now? To get ready to attack Greenland or the Panama Canal?

If the intent was to address trade imbalances, there is any number of things that could be done to work on that.
Instead, this president has declared an *emergency*.
Yes, an "emergency" for something which has been routinely going on, with full U.S. consent and enjoyment, for decades.
Then he unilaterally started a trade war with... THE WORLD!
He rolled out BOGUS tariff numbers to pretend that the U.S. is being skrewed by THE WORLD.
Laffably retarded numbers that are completely divorced from reality.
His stance is that if you have a trade surplus with the U.S., it means you are skrewing the U.S.
LOL
What is happening here is far beyond insane.
Dump has unilaterally started a war with the world.
Let that sink in.

Dump outright rejects the EU agreeing to drop tariffs to zero.
Just a few notable omissions in your characterization.
* The reporter limited his "zero tariffs" to CARS & INDUSTRIAL GOODS....nothing else. All the other trade imbalances, NATO for example still need to be negotiated down.
* That conference was held on Feb. 4th, more than 2 months ago (eons in Trump admin time)
Carry on..

Dumbfuckistan is astoundingly gullible.
I have a trade imbalance with my local grocery store. That doesn’t mean that they’re screwing me.
We import a lot of stuff that not only is not produced in US, but can’t be produced in the US. Think about a lot of agricultural products like bananas, coffee, cacao beans, palm oil, coconut oil, etc, etc.
How are you going to bring back coffee production? Maybe, like Greenland, we need Colombia, Guatemala, Cote d‘Ivoire, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, etc.

From our FUNCTIONAL President:
I just had a great call with the Acting President of South Korea.
We talked about their tremendous and unsustainable Surplus, Tariffs, Shipbuilding, large scale purchase of U.S. LNG, their joint venture in an Alaska Pipeline, and payment for the big time Military Protection we provide to South Korea.
They began these Military payments during my first term, Billions of Dollars, but Sleepy Joe Biden, for reasons unknown, terminated the deal. That was a shocker to all!
In any event, we have the confines and probability of a great DEAL for both countries. Their top TEAM is on a plane heading to the U.S., and things are looking good.
We are likewise dealing with many other countries, all of whom want to make a deal with the United States. Like with South Korea, we are bringing up other subjects that are not covered by Trade and Tariffs, and getting them negotiated also.
“ONE STOP SHOPPING” is a beautiful and efficient process!!! China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don’t know how to get it started. We are waiting for their call. It will happen! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Poptart????

OK - I'll bite.
What exactly does your grocery store buy from you? What trade imbalance are you referencing?
Just curious...

Where does it say, besides in Dear Leader’s pea sized brain, that every country we buy stuff from has to buy an equal or greater amount of stuff from us? There are countries that we have a trade surplus with. Should we be requiring them to stop buying so much of our stuff?
Just curious.
How are you enjoying your bottomless glass of MAGA gullibility?

The EU has offered the United States a “zero-for-zero” tariff scheme, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday, seeking to avoid a tit-for-tat trade war.
“We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods as we have successfully done with many other trading partners. Because Europe is always ready for a good deal. So we keep it on the table,” she told a press conference alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

Peon Musk is a ridiculous fraud.
If Peon Musk thinks Dumpy's tariff guru is a m0ron, what does Peon think about the guy who has unilaterally implemented the tariff guru's gameplan?
It won't be long before Musk just comes out and says it.
