Tariffs Catch-All

God help us all. We really need a supernatural intervention.

Trumpers (and their hero) all seem to believe that America is so powerful and dominant that we can literally bully and bluster and threaten and other nations - even China -will just fold and give us whatever we want. And while we're powerful, we aren't that powerful, and bullying only makes other countries even less likely to negotiate with us. Trump really does seem to believe that he can treat other countries like he did contestants on The Apprentice and that it will work just the same. They're about to all learn the hard way that "reality show" television isn't like true reality at all.

This is what runaway, unconditional patriotism gets you. Thanks Rush. Thanks Lee (Atwater and Greenwood).

The two men tried to make Trump believe what they and every other single conservatives has believed their entire lives, but for some reason have to pretend for a short time that they don’t believe it because they are afraid of the lame-duck wannabe dictator manbaby.

Not sure if you can, but people are trying....

This un-American life: can you really divest yourself of everything from the US?

iPhones and Google Maps are out – and you can keep your existing friends from across the pond, but don’t go making any new ones

I can’t stand this nonsense. Goodness we are led by a complete moron.

So was the morning tweet about it being a good time to buy not related to the plan to pause the tariffs?

Also there were leaks the day before that there was going to be a pause.

I have suspicions about the supposed timing here. Sounds like a story to evade insider trading accusations.
