That's...just lazy lil Jimmy.
I get it. You thought you had a super clever comeback and it didn't really work out. 

Topic-How the Democrats handling of the Economy vs the Republicans
That's what everyone is posting about.
But you just blurted out Vietnam and Cambodia, never making any actual point...but it wasn't even about that!

 

LOL...sure bud.

Scrooge and his ego think he’s the only one here that gets talked to.

Jimmy...bud. I'm leaving you unread here. So I don't know what's taking you two posts here, or 5 in the other thread to respond to whatever you're talking about now, but...I doubt it's going to be all that enlightening that I'll regret it.

Just for all the slow folks.  This thread is about trumps tariffs.  I posted Vietnam and Cambodia so some of you might be interested in checking out how the Trump tariff discussions are going there.  
I’m TRULY sorry for the confusion.

Don't need it but I enjoy it. Can't help it that smart women with law degrees dig me. Incomes aren't too far apart though when u add my side gigs so I wouldn't say she's a "sugar momma"

Calling them one doesn’t make them one but ok.  I’m guessing that’s how it works for you at home too.

No, she's always been female but it's pathetic that u go out if your way to bring this up and keep making related accusations. Demonstrates significant insecurity re: ur sexuality.

That's another lie. Stock market is collapsing in large part BECAUSE of the impact on the poor and middle class. That's who ultimately pays tariffs. They're simply a regressive tax on poorer people.

Ackman's new statements on tariffs:

 

 

"I have a lot of respect for our president and what he has accomplished so far, but I don’t think he is infallible, which is why I am stating loud and clear that I strongly believe launching tariffs on April 9th against the entire world — massively in excess of what we are being charged — is a mistake."

That’s the beauty. Everyone gets an opinion.  I’m of the belief that you have more leverage to start with blanket tariffs and then move to targeted tariffs.  It’s like when one side of Congress stuffs a whole bunch of pork in a bill and then barters with the other side on gives and takes.  It’s why when a company and a union have discussions they each have a list of things they want or don’t want and work towards a compromised agreement.  Is there risk?  100% but There are 50 countries lined up to negotiate right now and I think many will work out a deal in order to avoid the pain.  And I’d much rather be negotiating as the largest economy in the world than not.  Trump has five things that he feels are needed for a nation to be self sufficient. I believe the blanket tariffs will move to targeted tariffs on that agenda.
