Well have to agree to disagree. This is the one that I disagree w most though. Why are you confident about this? I know there was a bill introduced related to this but it never had anything close to the support needed to stop him.

It's funny. All I said is that my fiance makes a nice income so wingers assume she's my " sugar momma." That's typical of wingers. Jump to conclusions w o any evidence whatsoever.

We have a preñup. Both have our own kids and she won't give me money for that purpose. Besides, I don't actually need it.

1) Trump has already been all over the place, endless cycle of trying to be tough and then caving. Also, admitted to relying "upon instinct" for his tariff policy. Pathetic. Zero credibility. 2) Trade partners don't believe he'll stick to his word and know hes a weak person, mentslly and physically. Stock investors know he's erratic and not thinking straight. 3) Trump views "deals" as a zero sum game. That's why he's ripped so many people off but also had so many failed businesses, despite being born with silver spoon and being (I admit) a gifted conman with excellent charisma. As a result, he's looking to "win" deals and even rip countries off instead of going for something neutral. As a result, he'll continue to fail in his trade "negotiations" just like his failed businesses. 4) Bond market sell-off yesterday showed our vulnerability. That's a big card that other countries have on us.

I probably put more thought into them than trumps tariffs decisions.

He's an idiot. Yesterday he admitted that he's "relying on instincts." That's pathetic.

ZERO evidence of any significant fraud. NEVER enough to overturn an election. Not even close. Anecdotes of one person here and one person there, and even then, those were generally procedures that weren't followed, not people that weren't legally allowed to vote. These voter id laws are very simple. Simply an attempt to make it more difficult for poor people to vote. They lie and make up bs excuses about wanting to stop "fraud." They can't ever be honest about their true motives.

OK. Maybe their practices are predatory. Well, I don't agree with how he's done this. I think he could have been more effective by not trying to bully them. They need to save face now, and so does Trump. Both of these factors make it MUCH more difficult to negotiate a fair deal w/ them. I think he still has 10% tariffs on the rest of the world too, right? If he really wants others to join in and target China, he'd lower everything back down to pre-inauguration levels to get them on his side more and shouldn't have threatened the rest of the world in the first place. If his goal was to target China all along, he really did a poor job.

Please provide stats to show that China is ripping off the rest of the world.

Dead cat bounce today. this guy has no idea what he's doing and the rest of the world can see it now and sense his weakness. Will continue to make dumb decisions and circumvent the Constitution.

After all the bullying and manipulation that he's tried on them the past month? They're much more likely to take China's side than they were last year. He's playing checkers while China is playing Chess.

all this praise for diaper Donny makes me laugh. Stock market is still WAY down and inflation has accelerated since his inauguration. This piece of toilet trash could literally rape the Virgin Mary and the wingers would still say he was framed and he could say 2+2=5 and they would say "Brilliant."

He could crap his pants in the middle of a speech (not like he typically does inside his diapers but I'm talking about it leaking outside his diapers) and you would still think it was "part of the plan." Incredibly naive.

Meanwhile, we don't control our own criminals from going to other countries and committing crimes. So good luck at bullying other countries into doing this.

You're so brainwashed. You think that literally anything he does was "always part of the plan." Keep drinking the Kool Aid.

Yes, it was "always part of the plan." LMFAO.

Let's talk about here and now, with Trump. The deflections to Biden (and sometimes Obama) are a dime a dozen for you wingers.

Yah; that's what I was going to say. This guy is repeatedly all over the place and has zero credibility now, internationally. Nobody believes he's going to stick to any decision anyway.

Well, temporarily he did. Lot of damage already done, including to whatever credibility he had left. He also escalated a trade war w/ China that's still escalating. He should have taken a more careful approach to that too.

The pressure got to be too much for him. What a wuss. And the guy's credibility just continues to go down the drain. Constantly changing his mind, going back and forth like the wind. How can anybody respect this piece of garbage?

He read my post and listened to me. Seriously, I think he did. decided to just concentrate on fighting China, right after I posted that.

Very dumb move to take on the entire world at once. If the guy had a brain, he'd "divide and conquer." You want to start a trade war with China? OK, well just make sure you aren't doing it with the rest of the world at the same time. Yah, he may not care too much about the stock market, but you are right. I can guarantee he cares about this.

Bond yields now up 0.21 and 5% just in one day. Something definitely going on here.

WE can't defend our own borders? Seems like that's easier than stopping criminals in your own country from shipping out.

Something very interesting happening here. Bond yields skyrocketing lately. People are dumping U.S. debt. I wonder if China is part of this. If not, they will join in eventually and make it much much worse if Trump continues to play around. People think we hold all the cards but that's 100% wrong. It's not 1950 anymore.
