    Default Next UP on TRUMP'S hit list: A twitter tirade about FORD

    I have no idea what the hell he is talking about here. Why is TRUMP telling Ford, don't build the car you want to. Or don't build the car you want to sell in CALIF. WTF people?

    President Donald Trump went off on another Twitter rant Wednesday, taking aim at another American company.

    “Henry Ford would be very disappointed if he saw his modern-day descendants wanting to build a much more expensive car, that is far less safe and doesn’t work as well, because execs don’t want to fight California regulators. Car companies should know that when this Administration’s alternative is no longer available, California will squeeze them to a point of business ruin. Only reason California is now talking to them is because the Feds are giving a far better alternative, which is much better for consumers!” Trump tweeted.

    This isn’t the first time Trump has attacked an American company. Trump has gone after Amazon, Boeing, AT&T, Delta, ESPN, Facebook, Twitter, General Motors, Lockheed Martin, Merck pharmaceuticals, the NFL and a slew of media organizations. More than 62 American companies have drawn his ire over the course of his leadership while he’s trying to spur job growth.

    Do you get the feeling that Trump is on the verge of having a nervous breakdown??? There's just been too many episodes lately of him making irrational statements, and displaying some rather bizarre behavior. This is just another example.

    WE counter the 'crazy' with sarcasm, ridicule, scorn and even nervous laughter. (Those are our only tools). The PROFESSIONAL assessors of human behavior are watching very closely. It's not a joke to them.

    The coal miners were on the list, the hit went down it's over


    Coal miners going begging for help with failing pension fund as Trump taps mine owner for fundraiser

    According to the Lexington-Herald Leader, when he was face to face with the miners, McConnell gave the group vague assurances that they “would be taken care of.” For the 12,000 miners who are utterly dependent on funding from the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund, that’s a big deal—especially considering that the fund is $4.3 billion in debt and headed for collapse after the Republican tax bill slashed the taxes that pay for the fund. But McConnell waved away the miners’ worries, telling them “they shouldn’t be concerned.”

    Does the thing about "much more expensive cars" put anyone else in mind of another unhinged world leader who championed the creation of "the people's car" -- affordable basic transportation -- Volkswagen? lol

    The miners aren't getting their pensions, but Trump sure was chummy with coal executives.
