I love Trump, but this is a losing issue at the moment. Businesses are scrambling to comply with these... And incurring millions of dollars of costs to do it. In my area of north Alabama, defense contractors (who employ most everyone here) that get parts from our allies around the world are wondering how they're going to get paid for these additional costs. Their contracts weren't written with these costs in mind... The government gonna pay these? It's a mess. Retirements are bleeding money, as well. Donald really stepped in it here.

The premier market indicator has spoken.

The tariffs are going to work out great!

The rollout was the most amateur thing I've seen from an administration.

Everyone not in tCult noticed.

You can't just frick em... They have contracts. It's a legal issue that Don will lose and look like an idiot when he has to back off. This will cost the Republican party in the long run.

You know they have said this about damn near everything he has ever done. What is more likely and has happened almost every time is he will end up being right and every country will cave.

Why do you have to qualify it with that?

These frickers are still gonna call you a cuck and a pussy and a bot and a fig and a prog or whatever other dumb shite.

You should take that out of your OP. To loveTrump is to love all of him.

I can’t wait until the stock market goes up and you completely disappear back to your communist state.


Or stay and we will remind you what a flaming pussy you are.
