Ok, so let’s do a recap of these two individuals:

The concern is that all of us assumed that “Trump would never happen” because the man and his ideas are so truly awful. We assumed he wouldn’t last and drop out before the primaries. And then he won the primaries. We assumed he was done after each and every scandal that befell his campaign. We assumed he would lose…

I agree with much of what you have said. On days like today and over the past week though I keep reminding myself and others that he still lost the popular vote and in some ways he won because Americans once again got lazy and didn’t even vote.

I don’t know... because it seemed to me that the GOP was already on shakey ground with a lot of infighting before the election. I don’t see that changing. That and Trump supporters also seemed to be tearing down the so called “ anti-establishment” path and if they don’t see action they’ll be less forgiving if their…

Last year we did roughly 660 Billion dollars in trade with China. Not exactly chump change. What I will also tell you is that as someone who works in tech, this industry would be greatly damaged come any sort of economic fallout in China. China is Boeing’s 3rd largest customer for their 777 planes and they are getting…

China is tricky because they don’t “play by the rules”. The government simply steps in and pulls some strings or otherwise papers over the numbers to prop up their markets. So let’s say they do in fact dump our currency... what’s to say their government won’t simply step in, wave the magic wand and manufacture the…

Ok, I wasn’t clear on that. Sorry Ballaban...

No it wouldnt and wanna’ know why? Because even if what you say were true, a faultering Chinese economy ould take ours down with it. Most major US firms now do more business there than domestically. Like I said- the US is in no position to start a trade war we cannot possibly win.

Are his advisors stupid? Yes, agreed, but they’re probably not stupid enough to realize that if they even try to whisper the words “ trade war” that whatever money that would come their way through lobbys and corporate interests would instantly evaporate and be then redirected towards getting them out of the office…

... and why not?

Trust me: I want that orange ogre to be out of the White House as soon as possible. The next chance is in 2 years and by then hopefully most of his supporters will have realized they were sold a bag of rotten goods and clean out congress and replace with more democrats, hence limiting the last and hopefully THE last 2…

That too is equally as bad of an idea. The US is not in a bargaining position to do that and if we even try China could easily start dumping US currency. PS: I can’t believe I’m actually even remotely discussinf his policies: The man’s an idiot!

1st gear:

First let me state the obvious that Trump is full of shit and has no business being the President and hopefully he will be impeached soon. But historically speaking, his ideas of imposing retaliatory tarrifs are ideas that were tried before and ended in outright disaster. The 1930 Smoot–Hawley act did exactly that in…

Still will only go about 125 miles. The bolt goes 240+ miles. A big delta there.

That’s hilarious. oh boy... “Light” beer...

Its basically a fancy ad...

Trump is weak and soon enough his supporters will come to the shocking revelation that they were sold faulty goods.

There’s already a zillion responses. But I’ll add my 2 cents. I live in California. Before that I lived on the east coast. Before that I was born and raised in the rural south.

I kind of don’t fucking care anymore. The country wanted Trump? They got Trump. Now they get to deal with it.
