He has a No Trade clause in his contract so he is only going someplace he wants to go.

Says she lives in, not that she owns it. Maybe the church owns it. A lot of property under old ownership gets valuable over time.

The only thing I’ve heard Trump talk about is reducing the amount of fentanyl coming into the USA from Canada. I’m sure there are probably some illegal migration across the border as there has been for my entire life. Whatever the issues are with the northern border, they are tiny compared to the southern border. This is all BS and if you believe it you’re dumb. We are now at 4% unemployment rate which is historically low. So if all this manufacturing returns to the USA, who is going to work at these jobs? Do your kids dream of working in a factory? The labor won’t be the immigrants now. Are corporation CEOs going to make a long term decision to move a manufacturing plant into America based on the stupid policies of a lame duck president? The next President may restore free trade agreements leaving that company in the wrong location. Americans like cheap affordable products. That’s why we are a consumer society. Trump refers to the great 1800s when talking about how wonderful tariffs are. Someone needs to tell him the world has changed alot since then. This is like some communist dictator with a personal fantasy trying to return their society to its agrarian roots. If we don’t buy products from other nations, those nations can also buy the products they get from America from other nations too…. Like China. Americans get to pay more to live. Prices go up again. Prices for other stuff goes up too… just because….like happened after Covid. Once prices go up, they never go down. Working class just gets beaten into submission to pay more to live. The only politician in America who thinks this is a good idea is brain dead Trump. China and Russia are celebrating as we become weaker. Yay!

Well Canada has now responded with 25% tariffs on imports from America. Are supporters of the orange idiot happy now? Tariffs will be coming on pharmaceutical drugs too. The sick must pay more! This is the Trump tax on Americas working class.

Can you please explain what this battle is about? I’m confused. I always thought Canada was our ally.

A mechanic was just on the news saying the tariffs will push the average price of an oil change to over $100. Yay! We are winning now!

I’m still waiting for the MAGA crowd here explain the logic of tariffs on Canada to ostensibly make them reduce the fentanyl coming into America. So all the rest of America has to pay more money to live to help save the lives of drug addicts? This is stupid.

Better stock up on lumber if you build anything. The price of housing will be more expensive.

Here is what Congressional Research Service thinks of the tariffs impact on imported oil from Canada and Mexico. Canada should stop selling us oil at discounted prices. Trump country will pay more for gas. This is really stupid but stupid votes for stupid.

Let them pay more, they like it that way. I walked around Walmart today and the place was filled with low income white Trumpers buying imported products. They voted to pay more and they will.

Reminds me of Grampa Simpson talking to Homer: “When I was your age, I was with it. Then somebody changed IT and now IT isn’t what I’m with.”

Immediately politicizing tragedies happens every time here on PPP! Let’s make a new rule to stop it. Who is signing up for that?

Agree since Fox only has a certain segment of the public, but I’ll add social media as another large scale factor in promoting mistrust.

20 or 30 years ago, if there was a pandemic, do you think that political affiliation would be a determining factor in how people would have responded to the recommendations by medical experts? I don’t believe so. Operation Warp Speed was actually a great thing that Trump did. Rapid development of the vaccines saved lives. Dems praised the vaccines and had vaccine mandates. Well that automatically meant that republicans had to be against them. It was the perfect us vs them, red vs. blue drama fueled by the polarization of our society caused by our addiction to social media. Media on all sides were happy to play their part to increase viewership and corporate profits. Big pharma obviously also profited but at least they were providing what society needed. Yes, public officials didn’t always model perfect behavior. No one did. But that wasn’t done in pursuit of corporate profits. Fox deliberately and repeatedly spread misinformation and people died. They lied to increase corporate profits, same as they did with Dominion voting machines lies. A relative of mine worked in a hospital and talks of people who refused the vax due to mistrust but when they were sick enough to be in the hospital, they wanted every type of modern medicine and Covid therapy to save their sorry ass. It makes no sense. Vaccines and modern medicine have been a miracle for human society. Trump himself had his life saved due to the new Covid medicines. We can thank many nameless scientists for us not being terrified of small pox, polio, measles etc. Americans have been spoiled into idiocy. We have lived such comfortable, worry free lives for so long that we have forgotten that bad s##t can happen. People don’t even know what these diseases are. Pandemics are real. Viruses continue to mutate, looking for ways to find new hosts. Many choose to believe Joe Rogan and other social media stars over scientists and medical experts. RFK jr will soon be leading health care in America. Measles, polio, diphtheria, smallpox and their friends are celebrating. Maybe Americans need to sacrifice their children to relearn some lessons from the past. On the other hand, I’m all for RFK jr if he can help reduce the obesity rate in America.

Just like all the Fox News talking heads who got vaccinated and then went on the air to spread their lies. Sadly, I knew two people who should be alive today but were convinced by Fox liars to not get vaccinated. They paid the price.
