Tiberius Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 So it looks like American consumers will be paying more for imports now. And there seems to be no real reason for this except that Trump wants to play Trade War President. This is completely insane. It will cost people jobs, hurt farmers and workers and accomplish what?? What is the end game here? China, Europe, Mexico and Canada will buy more of our things or something? This topic probably deserves it own thread. Maybe tomorrow

B-Man Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) MORNING IN AMERICA: More say they’re ‘better off’ under Trump, including blacks, Hispanics. The improving economy has helped President Trump keep the support of his “base” of 2016 voters strong, and is opening the door for blacks, Hispanics and younger voters to join them. Citing those results in new surveys, Democratic pollster John Zogby is declaring that Trump will be tough to beat in 2020 despite his high disapproval ratings. “President Donald Trump’s support is actually increasing among voters and offers data to explain why he may be re-elected in 2020,” he said. This is Democrats’ worst nightmare, of course. Related: ‘I’m off the plantation, bro!’ Video of black Stanford student goes viral. Here’s his back story. “I’ve been researching Black Lives Matter and I’ve been understanding the politics and how they are funded by white liberals. And recently I’ve been feeling like [BLM is] white liberals in black face. … It’s because the white liberals are all about feminism, LGBT — white liberals don’t really care about black people. I realize, white liberals don’t really care about me, bro. I’m off the plantation, bro! I’m off the plantation, bro!” by Glenn Reynolds . Edited June 1, 2018 by B-Man

Tiberius Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Hey, at least Putin is happy with the move! Weakening our trade relations is a key Russian goal, just like working on destroying the EU. Quote The Business Roundtable issued a blistering statement, condemning the move: “The Administration’s decision to drop steel and aluminum tariff exemptions for America’s allies only worsens a self-inflicted wound on our economy and unnecessarily exposes U.S. exporters to foreign retaliation. While addressing global overcapacity of steel and aluminum is a worthy objective, using ‘national security’ arguments under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 weakens the international trading system and encourages other nations to use ‘national security’ to place barriers against U.S. goods and services from entering their markets.” It predicted, “These tariffs and increased costs have already caused harm to U.S. businesses and workers.”

In fairness to Tibs, he doesn't actually know or understand what he posts. He's just posting what he's told to post. "Oh, crap. 200,000 more people are at work! Black unemployment is the lowest it's been in 20 years. Quick, get this link about HD out to everyone so we can attempt to change the narrative. Make sure they have a link to Pelosi's statement about how much worse off middle America is with their crumbs!"
