Trump lies like no president or politician in history. He has a 5th-grade vocabulary and 5th-grade brain. I never heard a president say crazy shit over and over like Trump. The Repubs are able to shrug it off with Trump being Trump, but the rest of the world does not think like that. They want an American president they can respect and is dependable.

f*ck that noise. Trump is POTUS not a "world leader"..America First

the 2nd round of tariffs is suspended, and business for the most part absorbed the first 10%.
Vice-Premier Liu He made an appearance at the talks of negotiations, and Robert Lighthizer ( who did NAFTA 2)
is our guy.

China must have a deal -they cannot allow suppliers to leave China and lower their GDP.
I'm pretty sure they have used up most of their cash reserve as stimulus for their 6+% growth.

It would HELP IF CONGRESS PASSED NAFTA 2 as an example we are ready to ratify results.
But Congress can't do anything

I'm not the one that said he was going to do something.

Let's get back to the important part that when you said you'd do it, you told someone else. Why were you afraid to state it to me, tough guy?

What am I backing out of, boy, expecting the one that said he was going to do something to do it. Seems the two of you faggots make claims about what you'll do then never do it. I recall you saying several things you'd do. Funny thing is you've done, nor even tried to do, any of them.

ON TOP OF LAST YEAR

Washing machines, dishwashers are more expensive after Trump tariffs

Published: Nov 14, 2018 12:51 p.m. ET

snip-

he cost of new washers, dryers and other major appliances are surging in the wake of White House tariffs.

Prices for major appliances have jumped 8.1% in the past 12 months, with all of the increase coming since April, according to a government index that tracks consumer prices.

Seriously?

Why would anybody who has been conned and hypnotized think for themselves?

Trump fans have all their talking points dictated to them.

Self doubt? Not in the vocabulary.

Questioning the president? Never occurs to them.

Blinded by greed.

They think what we are doing is 'Great.'

Now we have Democrats complaining about tariffs and increased costs and some/many Republicans supporting them.

Well you know there is *something* about the way you go about it.

Something like catching more flies with honey than vinegar...

The job of the press is to criticize where criticism is due.

If we have a press that merely repeats the talking points of the president then we only get one point of view, his. The president must be held to task, and Fox News never does that. Trump supporters are so conned they don't ever want to hear any valid criticism of the president. That's why they only watch fox and why they think he is doing a great job. It's what they are told to think.

It would help if we tax the rich more.

if you can't find a washing machine that doesn't have a tariff on it, then you're the one who's stupid........

As a life philosophy I agree with what you wrote above. As a response to my post that has nothing to do with it. It's all about partisanship.

**PostmodernProphet** · 07-13-2019, 07:15 AM

Demmycrats think they shouldn't temporarily pay $84 more for a washing machine to stop China from costing us $184 more for everything they tariff.....

That's like me saying "if MSNBC and other liberal media outlets had criticized Obama more of his supporters would have disliked him. Instead they just listened to an echo chamber of how good he's doing and are told to think that."

Look what happened to publications such as the Weekly Standard. They were originally part of the #NeverTrump movement and now they are out of business. With all due respect you're just as partisan as anyone. You really can't criticize others for doing exactly what you yourself do. You generally only want to hear good things about the people you support and bad things about those you don't. That's what cable news provides (as well as partisan online media).
