Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

Same fella probably banged on about the national debt under Obama.
It amazes me how quick these people abandon their principles.

the same phenomenon will be seen over here when pensions are cut post-Brexit, or when it turns out that pensioners will have to pay for their visa to visit Spain / the South of France

BUT I* FOUGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM, they will shout, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME**

* and by "I" they mean "My dad"
** ie: by not voting Tory like they have

So the Democrats are proposing legislation that pauses the statute of limitations while someone is serving as President. It’s going to be interesting to see the pretzel knots Republicans twist themselves into to justify voting against that.

Iirc most of our agricultural exports to China are animal feed rather than human quality food. So unless we are shipping to nations with a decently sized animal farming industry (which is presumably unlikely as if it existed the nation would probably not be starving in the first place) it isn’t going to do much good.

Do you reckon he knows that he’s misrepresenting now tariffs work, or that he just doesn’t understand them?

I used to think the former but he’s been so strangely consistent on it I now think through either repetition or ignorance he believes that China, rather than the US company/consumer, pays the tariffs.

I don’t know which of the two options would be worse to be honest.

Unfortunately the worse option is that he truly doesn’t understand tariffs as means any trade negotiation is done on a false premise. At least if he was just misrepresenting the issue, whilst not great, is just yet another item to add to the already long list.

I don't think he really cares.

Shorter Tom Cotton - yeah some people are going to be hurt in this trade war but they should count themselves lucky they are not dead in one of the military actions I support enthusiastically.

I was unaware that veterans and their families were exempt from the China tarrifs. Oh they're not you say, so the troops and their families get a little DP from the Trump admin. Hooah.

I think it's appropriate,and respectful,to start a new thread (post election victory) now Mr Trump is the President.

His new website and twitter has gone live.

thought that waste of oxygen would have the 'grassy knoll' treatment by now. Here's hoping!
