No big deal...same is true for Canada's present prime minister...hell...he has already been found guilty of four (4) ethics violations.

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) President Trump had a great time at the Gridiron Dinner in Washington D.C.: Quote "I just want to say this, this is one of the best times I've had with the media — this might be the most fun I've had since watching your faces on election night." http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-gridiron-dinner-1.4561507 Trump is right about that...it was a lot of fun on that night.

They have the power and the brains to know this would cost the US a lot of jobs. With seven more years to go for Trump this obsessive hatred that you have for Trump every day may just end up giving you the seven year itch. Just saying. Chuckle-chuckle.

Still some ways to go with the likes of Bush, Cheney, Obama, and that guy Clinton. Not just ethics either. Fucking war crimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boges Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Either Trump is extraordinarily difficult to work with or his shit at appointing good support staff. More likely it's both. Another adviser quits today over this whole Steel Tariff stupidness. Only one original member of the Trump team is still with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is consistent with Trump blowing up the D.C. beltway. Eventually staff can't/won't support his aggressive policies, so they have a duty to resign.

It is expected that being very unconventional will force conventional people to bail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just cannot take the heat like Trump can. Even though many Trump people are running for the hills at least Trump still has his millions of followers on twitter. They are not abandoning him. I wish that the next guy to go would be Sessions. That guy is a Hillary, Comey and Mueller swampster supporter not a Trump supporter.

Taking on a well established swamp will be quite the task to try and clean that swamp out. It is sad that so many people have left. It just shows that they could not take the heat or were never with Trump at all but were more on the side of the swampsters. I heard that Kushner had to leave because he had too many business entanglements on the go. Gary Cohn left and went back to Goldman/Sachs. I think that Gary Cohn was one of those zionist globalists banksters supporters myself. The outfit Goldman/Sachs that gave plenty of moola to Hillary and Obama. The traitors to America are everywhere. I for one do not envy Trump at all. The guy is surrounded by enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Another red hot jobs report for Feb 2018 in Trump's America. Wages are up, and so is inflation.

Sessions was part of the Trump team very early, but because he recused himself as to not investigate something he was involved in, he's a Hillary supporter. That's funny.

If these people were so "swampy" why were they appointed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OftenWrong Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Seems like Trump's tough talk is exactly the kind of language little boy Kim understands.

Well, there is something wrong with Sessions and his lack of not willing to start up another special council as so many people have asked or want him to do. There appears to be enough evidence to go after the real Russian collusion people like Hillary and Obama. That is funny alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbird Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I don't really think Canada has much to worry about. The steel and aluminum industry in Canada is vital to the U.S. and putting a tariff on it would cause the loss of hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs. So what would be the point? Canadian negotiators at NAFTA just need to stay cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Canada will continue to worry about this and many other aspects of Trump's agenda for trade, NAFTA, "reciprocal taxes", etc. Protectionism for dairy (300% tariffs on the U.S.) will come under pressure. Crying by Trudeau and Freeland only goes so far, and it is election season for the U.S. and Mexico, when "nationalism" is peaked. 75% of Canadian exports go to a single nation...the United States....always something for some Canadians to worry about.

And many of those states that brought Trump to power do a great deal of trade with Canada. I actually agree with the Dairy farmer thing. Supply Management is socialism and it keeps our price of dairy uncompetitively high. Is the US willing to kill rust belt jobs with a Steel Tarrif to try and force Canada to ruin its dairy farmer industry? I'm not sure.

And many others did not bring "Trump to power"....like California, New York, Illinois, Washington. Even a state like Michigan is not nearly as dependent on trade with Canada as are provinces dependent on U.S. trade, up to a staggering 50% of GDP. Canadian provinces export far more as a percentage of GDP to the U.S. than states to Canada, which is why Trump has more NAFTA leverage, and why Trudeau/Freeland are so desperate to keep the status quo. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/how-much-trade-leverage-does-canada-really-have-with-united-states/article34014567/ Quote I actually agree with the Dairy farmer thing. Supply Management is socialism and it keeps our price of dairy uncompetitively high. Is the US willing to kill rust belt jobs with a Steel Tarrif to try and force Canada to ruin its dairy farmer industry? I'm not sure. Canada's protectionist supply management for dairy has been attacked several times by other nations (WTO), long before Trump became president. Rust belt jobs went away for other reasons long before Trump. President Bush also imposed tariffs on steel for nearly identical economic and political reasons, with wider support, but without much success. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_United_States_steel_tariff Edited March 9, 2018 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
