Trump Tweets



Rex Tillerson, a man who is “dumb as a rock” and totally ill prepared and ill equipped to be Secretary of State, made up a story (he got fired) that I was out-prepared by Vladimir Putin at a meeting in Hamburg, Germany. I don’t think Putin would agree. Look how the U.S. is doing!

I can guarantee you Putin would agree with Trump. He would agree while having that trademark smirk on his face.

... Granted, he hasn't had much in the way of legislative success (other than the deficit-busting tax cuts) , but he's: started a trade war, had Drunky McRapeface nominated for the supreme court, had the government shut down, pissed off various U.S. allies, brought in a travel ban that will be ineffective in stopping terrorism but will probably end up harming Americans, had multiple security breaches (such as reveling intelligence to a Russian news crew), etc.

All that harms the U.S.

He's also delivered a reeling, devastating knock-out blow to Uncle Sam's image abroad, emboldening the country's growing enemies and loosening the resolve of its dwindling true allies. US credibility on and off the negotiating table - where the real business gets done - is as low as that of a banana republic. Wouldn't matter if not for the shiver this has sent down the spine of the world's body politic. Then there's the violent, frenzied environmental rape.

Trump's legacy abroad is a screaming global bowel movement, a lasting lowering of standards few will forget.

I'm pretty sure a major cause of TDS is all the people who thought that getting the president they wanted was a simple as: nominate Hillary. Confronted with the complexity and nuance of what actually happens, they're trying to reduce it back down to something simple that they can wrap their minds around: Orange Man Bad.

The major cause of TDS is Trump himself. He is the Typhoid Mary of TDS.

China is after penalties for their 737 MAX. I think they going to make those penalties as painful as possible.

From: https://thehill.com/policy/finance/...ry-blames-trumps-tariffs-for-loss-of-40k-jobs
The beer industry is reportedly blaming the Trump administration's tariffs for a loss of jobs of 40,000 jobs... insiders say President Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs are the cause.... A Beer Industry spokeswoman told Bloomberg in a statement that there is evidence of brewers "making fewer investments because of the added cost of aluminum,” but did not say the tariffs are “100 percent to blame.”

Trump better be careful... With some potential court cases that might affect his presidency, he can't afford to alienate Kavenaugh (not after going through all the effort of getting him installed on the supreme court).
 
Do you all realize that Trump committed a felony yesterday on National Television? He bribed the Democrats to stop the investigation. That is both obstruction of justice and bribery of a public official.

"Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."

So, after 1.5 to 2 pages of actual bad, non-benign, things Trump has done, do you honestly think it’s as simplistic as Orange Man Bad?

If so, that’s where TDS really lives.
 
"Orange man bad"
"TDS"

Over these past few years, I've come to the conclusion that Republicans need to boil things down to a short, simple, easy-to-remember catchphrase or acronym because anything beyond that would fly right over the heads of the majority of their voter base.

I've spent a couple hundred hours working on tariff stuff at the plant I 'intern' at, and these tariffs could well be the axe that broke the camel's back, ironically sending more jobs off to our daughter plant in Mexico and our parent plant in Sweden.

We simply can't afford to pay another $1-1.5 million on aluminum and stay in business, even if we solve all our other problems.

I thought I heard that Trump was ending the aluminum tariffs?

I thought he said he was ending both steel and aluminum tariffs a few days ago. Hell, Trump's multiple news cycles a day has screwed up my sense of time. Lets just say I remember something like that.
