No, for the continued front that you are the most informed person on this board, on every single topic.

It’s a combination of delusion and hubris, with practically no wisdom.

He’s incessant need to argue with every poster on every topic is insufferable. It’s like an insatiable desire to feed his ego in an effort to “be right” or sound smart.

We did not reciprocate with a "mirror image" of their tariffs.

Lots of people post stupid stuff, so I correct them.

When they engage in "hubris with no wisdom" I have to own them sometimes in arguments (like with you routinely)

It doesn't "bother" me. I'm pointing out a rhetorical flaw on a discussion board.

Discredited, generally? No

This particular argument? Yes. He built it on a lie.

Our reciprocal action was not related to their rate of tariffs.

Point refuted and lie shown.

What's your criteria for genius? That he tells you what you want to hear? There are certainly countless other political commentators that have similar credentials and IQ levels are Victor Davis Hanson that I'm sure you would call stupid because they are not spoon feeding you the information that confirms your bias.

Maybe for some. No one here knows what is going to happen. Freaking out less than a week in is the definition of stupidity. No common sense there at all.

Ever provide material support to someone, financially or otherwise, and then stop providing that support?

They hate you worse than if you had never helped them in the first place. And there is definitely no gratitude whatsoever for all the help you did give them.

That's what this tariff situation boils down to. We've been letting the world rip us off for so long, and now that we say no more, enough is enough, they hate us for it.

As Trump said to Trudeau, if the only way Canada can survive is by ripping us off, then why should we put up with that? The same goes for the rest of the countries around the world that have been ripping us off.

Canada is the Jackson Mahomes of worthless sibling countries.
