The big money people, except for the really politically mobilized ones who are still able to believe it's 'worth it,' are now against Trump. Since the ones against Trump aren't politically mobilized so much, they can't make Trump care.

I notice our resident Trump zombie has been really quiet in this thread for quite some time. Conflicted?

I suppose it's easier to stay quiet than to admit you've been conned by the most dishonest, vile and obvious con-man ever to grace this orb.

Dutch PM tells Trump, "No!" in response to Trump's delusional rantings about tariffs. Trump will probably order the blockade of Dutch ports in response.

Even Russia is filing a lawsuit with the WTO against the Lying Dotard's steel and aluminum tariffs. I think that's now seven countries who have appealed this idiotic tariff to the WTO.

EU threatens $300 billion tariffs against U.S. after fresh trade salvo from Trump

They know to target Red states, so a silver lining, but just so unnecessary if Repubes would simply wake up and impeach the dangerous fool before he destroys the economy.

In my company, we use a lot of SS thin foils that come from Europe.
Just got an email from our vendor that a 25% tariff is in effect as of this week and our price will go up by 12.5%. For now the vendor is splitting the cost increase but not for long. MAGA my ass.

So far, Donald Trump’s trade wars have been neither good nor easy to win.

Oh, sure, as the Wall Street Journal’s Ruth Simon reported, some steel producers are benefiting from the new tariffs. But as that same story noted, for every steel-producing firm that’s benefited, there are five steel-using firms that are hurt. Trump claimed last week that large firms like U.S. Steel will be opening new factories, but that appears to be fake news. Furthermore, President Trump’s tariffs are targeted in the worst possible way to benefit the U.S. economy as a whole.

Trump’s tariffs are not just affecting small firms. General Motors also warned that escalating tariffs will lead to job losses in the United States.


Whatever happened to all the bragging about the economy and jobs. Self inflicted sabotage?

The gang that can’t negotiate straight

When it comes to trade negotiations, the Trump administration is either lying to America or lying to itself.

A bombastic braggadocious bully passing himself off as a negotiator.
What could possibly go wrong.

Donny goes to war with corporate America

Wake up, Repubes. Donny is not your friend. Impeach his incompetent ass, before he destroys Obama’s great economic recovery, too.
