So what you’re saying is that Trump won’t stop until the American economy is totally destroyed?

Great.

I brought up Pelosi simply to illustrate the utter idiocy of YOUR initial premise.



NO! B.S. YOU brought up Pelosi when I called you out on that idiotic Art of the "Just throw it on the wall and see what sticks" Anti Trump meme.

Now in your complete tailspin desperation, you wanna deflect and pivot to that Epstein Island frequenting child rapist Bill Gates! Now are you gonna say He disgusts you too?

YES! YOU slow witted driveler.

Now? Do you want to continue to hurl insults or have a discussion? I’m game for either!



Now, with that out of the way: “Lighten Up Francis!” — it was a goofy meme. And though humorous in nature, it has an element of truth.

I have stated elsewhere that one of Trump’s stratagems in negotiation involves throwing things against the wall to see if it sticks. That is not a value judgement but an observable fact.

Trump’s “art” of crafting a deal thus involve starts, stops, twists and turns to see what will work. With framework that in mind, Trump’s industrial and trade policies reflect both nationalist and pragmatic considerations.

As a nationalist, Trump believes the industrial capability of a nation is not simply a matter of economic policy but is at it’s core a matter of national security. And as a pragmatist, Trump is not a dogmatic ideologue and is willing to negotiate on points of contention when it comes to matters of international trade.

Trump’s economic vision thus reflects aspects of both nationalism and pragmatism. While Trump believes tariffs should be used to protect America’s industrial base, Trump is also willing to use tariffs as a negotiating tool to leverage better deals with trading partners.

I am thus willing to take a “wait and see” approach to where this ends. Yet on the same token, I certainly am not blind to the very real risks involved here.

Trump’s trade policies necessarily entail the risk of trade wars, market instability, job losses, higher prices and an economy in a free-fall. Noting the very real possibility that Trump’s strategy on tariffs could backfire spectacularly is not “anti-Trump” but simply an objective appraisal of how these tariff strategies could end.

And that brings up an interesting point. Is “Eric” — I have no clue if that is a real person — outing himself as a purveyor of fake news here?

Fair enough Tommer. I'll stop with the insults as soon as you post your age and net income. Tell the truth now, Santa is making a list and checking it twice!

Let's compare your current net worth to Trump's at the same age.


As if this means anything. Trump was gifted money from his father that most of us would never have access to.

It has zero to do with his lack of understanding of macroeconomic issues.

For such a wealthy man, he still thinks wealth is a zero sum game.

I’ll leave it at this: I am a generation Xer who is blessed beyond what I ever could have imagined to the extent that I could comfortably retire tomorrow. Yet I enjoy my work and plan to continue working well into my 70s.

With that said, if I could have been able to invest what I have paid into the Ponzi Scheme known as social security over my lifetime, my net worth would be substantially higher. Yet there certainly are people with a higher net worth than me who believe that shell game is an equitable system.

Yet the net worth of these people has no bearing on whether they are wrong or right about this issue. And that was my simple point about Pelosi above.
