Not in the age of globalism. The big corporations are heavily invested in overseas plants and overseas markets. 

 

The trade war, at the level of an across the board tariff, would have an incalculable effect. But let's be clear that probably means large. 

And it seems like even Mexico and Canada would be targeted.

They love tariffs. Not being tariffed by foreigners, which is the BIGGEST PROBLEM for them.

I think most people agree with you, ie. that he's blustering.  I think they agree with the overall intention and feel that the details will not be as he says.

We will see.

IF you cannot count on what a candidate is promising, you'd best not vote for them.

Interesting how MAGA's will jump on any little gaff of Biden's even though he isn't running but no matter what Trump says, his faithful just say he doesn't really mean it.

Should NOT vote for anyone who LIES ALL THE TIME.

That's nothing. What really matters to progressives is the number of Hollywood celebrities that are endorsing their candidate.

Nobody's saying that but YOU.

Endorsements never hurt unless they're from authoritarian strongman a-holes like those Trump cozies up to.

He would rather profit personally than pick a fight with an opponent of American prosperity. 🤮

The Nobel Prize money is real. $1M doesn't go as far as it used to, but I wouldn't turn it down.

approximately US$1,035,000

 

As of 2023, the Nobel Prize monetary award is 11,000,000 kr, amounting to approximately US$1,035,000. A prize may not be shared among more than three individuals, although the Nobel Peace Prize can be awarded to organisations of more than three people.

Plus it's the absolute pinnacle of any field. There is no greater recognition.

Trump will definitely do what he's telling voters that he'll do, it's just a matter of whether or not the Dems can block him using 9th-circuit BS rulings or congress or the senate... whatever it takes to obstruct. 

Then he is going to make life much more expensive for Americans. Not only that, other countries will apply counter tariffs which will make life more difficult for American exporters.

Democrats are on pins and needles waiting for someone like Taylor Swift to come out and endorse Harris.

Why have modern Democratic presidents and presidential candidates so often rolled out with big name Hollywood celebrities at fundraisers? Because there is a perception that progressive voters are swayed by celebrities. 

They're right.

Calling half the nation garbage on the same day where the democratic party is trying to scream murder about calling puerto rico a garbage island is not a tiny little gaff. That is a torpedo right in the side of kamala's campaign.

And the man is the president of the united states for the democrat party. He speaks for the US and he speaks for the democrats. He has been out campaigning for example

If she wanted to get rid of him then they should have kicked him out based on medical deficiency and been done with it. As it is, she has to live with his remarks and it's not interesting it's obvious. You might as well say how interesting it is that Kamala is held to account for her own words. He speaks for their party

Media is bending over backwards telling us Biden didn't really say Trump supporters were garbage and yet in the same breath are just going apeshit, saying Trump wants to put Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad by only take a small part of what he said and not playing the entire clip which puts it into context but they are trying attribute context to what Biden "meant" when he said Trump supporters were garbage by saying he meant supporter's which makes the sentence make no sense.

Where did I make up what he means?

The only one making up crap here is you... again, repeatedly. You have a real problem actually responding to what I say. 

I love how you ignore everything I said and very narrowly claim Harris did not call Trump a Nazi. Lets see, Walz contrasted a Trump rally as MSG to it being a Nazi rally... Harris invokes Hitler while calling Trump a fascist... so fine, I will amend my statement to more precisely say Harris repeatedly compares Trump to Hitler while calling him a fasicst. 

That is not any better. 

JD Vance has long since repudiated his earlier comments. Harris has not. 

 

 

The comments made by some of the speakers at that rally would have been right at home at Nazi rally.

Harris has never called Trump Hitler or a Nazi, you are the one making stuff up.

Biden repudiated his statement as well. 
 

Yes there is slagging going on with both sides but Trump started it when he walked down that escalator in 2015 and hasn’t let up since so stop being such a snowflake.

Not one of them would have.

Biden suggestion that trump supporters are garbage people would have though, along with his suggestion that we should jail his political opponent. That was pretty Nazi

She's called him a facist.  She's Called him a threat to democracy. I think if you want to split hairs that much you should open a barber shop

Repudiating a statement after your party turns on you because you're about to cost the girl who undemocratically took your position her election is no repudiation at all. He said it, he meant it, and he actually hasn't repudiated it at all he's now trying to claim that's not what he said. But you can hear it for yourself in plain English

They certainly don't hurt, and they GET EYEBALLS. Why wouldn't anyone who can, take advantage of that publicity?

He said "Trump supporter's garbage" singular referring to the comedian. Though it was a little garbled.

But you give Trump a complete pass on America being a "garbage can." 🤮

Thanks for confirming you don't keep up with the news. Proly cause you watch FOS LIES. LMAO

Why do Hollywood celebrities know what's best for the people? 

What exactly makes them so much more enlightened than everyone else?
