The tariffs are a ******** all the way around. They clearly were not through through and the implementation is horrendous...

This is what has always scared me the most about Trump -- well, besides the nuclear Armageddon thing, I guess :( -- the fear he'll do to the US economy what he did to the USFL and Atlantic City.

From a previous link:
As the left-hand bar in the graphic above shows, such firms will pay about $8.4 billion in tariffs on China imports by the end of 2018. Second, this tariff revenue does not remain in U.S. government “coffers.” As shown in the right-hand bar above, all of it and more is being paid out to American farmers as partial compensation for their losses from Chinese tariff retaliation. The U.S. government has already committed to paying out $1.2 billion more to angry American farmers than it will take in this year from angry American firms.

This is the man, when they told him, "Stick with the spring schedule, your league isn't ready to compete with the NFL," he insisted it was going to be "fantastic," and within two years 'his league' no longer existed. This was the guy, when they tried to tell him, "Don't build this next casino, you'll be competing against yourself," he insisted it would be "fabulous," built it and soon thereafter was in bankruptcy.

This is who we have as our 45th president. A guy with a talent for effing everything up.
 
Good morning newyorkguy.

Keep in mind, he always plays with other peoples money. He is proud of being the "king of debt" because he feels that he comes out ahead financially. As 45, using our countries bank account, he truly is "The King of Debt."
We are all paying for this.
 
It's a myth that Trump doesn't lose his own money, he has lost hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of his own money.
Donald Trump declared $916 million in losses on his 1995 personal tax returns...Link

Senator Mitch McConnell should fight for the Wall and Border Security as hard as he fought for anything. He will need Democrat votes, but as shown in the House, good things happen. If enough Dems don’t vote, it will be a Democrat Shutdown! House Republicans were great yesterday!

The Democrats are trying to belittle the concept of a Wall, calling it old fashioned. The fact is there is nothing else’s that will work, and that has been true for thousands of years. It’s like the wheel, there is nothing better. I know tech better than anyone, & technology.....

.....on a Border is only effective in conjunction with a Wall. Properly designed and built Walls work, and the Democrats are lying when they say they don’t. In Israel the Wall is 99.9% successful. Will not be any different on our Southern Border! Hundreds of $Billions saved!

No matter what happens today in the Senate, Republican House Members should be very proud of themselves. They flew back to Washington from all parts of the World in order to vote for Border Security and the Wall. Not one Democrat voted yes, and we won big. I am very proud of you!

The Democrats, whose votes we need in the Senate, will probably vote against Border Security and the Wall even though they know it is DESPERATELY NEEDED. If the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will last for a very long time. People don’t want Open Borders and Crime!

Even President Ronald Reagan tried for 8 years to build a Border Wall, or Fence, and was unable to do so. Others also have tried. We will get it done, one way or the other!

Worst December stocks since the Great Depression. Trump loved taking credit for it when it was breaking records. Now? Not so much.

He won't even take credit for a negative thing that he already insisted on taking credit for (the "Trump Shutdown").

FFS! Can we have a president who can speak English!

Also, can we have a president who understands facts?
Can we have a president who can learn new things?
Can we have a president who doesn’t claim to know more than everyone else?

Mitch, use the Nuclear Option and get it done! Our Country is counting on you!

Thank you @SteveDaines for being willing to go with the so-called nuclear option in order to win on DESPERATELY NEEDED Border Security! Have my total support.

Surprised Pikachu meme goes here. Who could have predicted this?
 
Preview of what's to come:

The looming U.S. government shutdown is beginning to worry Wall Street. Just not for the reasons you might think.

Traders aren’t really losing much sleep over the prospect of furloughed bureaucrats inside the Beltway. Instead, market veterans are on edge because of what the debacle signals about Washington’s inability to compromise ahead of the early March debt-ceiling reinstatement, after which the Treasury will need to resort to extraordinary measures to pay America’s obligations.

Linky.
 
Not to mention, Trump had already caved in. Then he flops back at the last minute. I normally would need to go to an Ihop to see this much flipping and flopping.

He had his chain jerked by the Freedom Caucus loons. Plus, it's a good way to get Mattis off the headline.

I would settle for a president who isn't deeply compromised by a hostile foreign power and is willing to burn down the country to pull headlines off his blatant capitulation.

Camacho 2020! "He's ****, but not this ****!"

Indeed, and:

"The Democrats, who know Steel Slats (Wall) are necessary for Border Security"


"Remember the Caravans? Well, they didn’t get through and none are forming or on their way. Border is tight."

If the border is tight...

Indeed. This bit of a contradiction instantly leapt out to me. I thought it would be featured in the TeeVee pundits' commentary as illustrative of the incoherence.
