Trump says that because Trudeau was mean to him, he's going to order tariffs on all foreign cars!! HOORAY!! This is some of the best news Americans have EVER HAD! Car prices will go up and that great, great, great news for the USofA!
The Free trade Republican Party is dead.They will rally around this bullshit and praise it as if protectionist BS spouted by Dick Gephardt in 1988 is now revolutionary and brilliant coming out of Trump's mouth.
Oh and he basically admitted that Canada's dairy tariffs are why he's ordered steel and aluminum tariffs. Which means it's not a "national security" issue. Which means he doesn't have unilateral authority to impose them. But the Republican Congress is almost certainly not going to challenge him because they're gutless.Last edited by Dr. Strangelove; June 9, 2018, 07:37 PM.Comment

I think the chickens are coming home to roost for PDJT. His performance at the G7 Summit showed an emperor without his clothes. I was hoping against all hope that his shtick would work, we'd get down to brass tacks about some real trade issues harmful to the US that do exist and deserve attention and negotiation within the appropriate deliberative bodies.
Instead we get a US president acting like a petulant child who walks away from any serious trade talk continuing to stick to stupidly imposed aluminum and Steel tariffs and through these the ignition of a fierce trade war among formerly economic allies.
Don't think China isn't watching. I would be stunned if there isn't blow-back from the G7 debacle that colors the Singapore Summit, and not in a good way,Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

I think China recognizes that what Trump is likely to do is cozy up to enemies and provoke allies. It's clear what to do to get the desired outcome.Comment

Occasional reminder that tariffs are essentially taxes on the American consumer. Particularly auto tariffs, if they happen. Republicans need to reject any argument the White House makes that Trump can levy taxes on cars without any input from Congress because of 'national security' concerns. And they must resist pressure on Congress to pass new legislation doing the same thing.Comment

Kudlow's a longtime CNBC host that Trump brought it to essentially betray all the free market principles that he's advocated for over the past few decades. Kudlow's former colleagues at CNBC and National Review must have a hard time recognizing him now.Originally posted by The Oracle View Post

And just like 1930's Germany, there seems to be no shortage of dimwits willing to follow and swallow their delusional leader.
