    Not sure facts are going to work on thedonald. Seems to be incredibly misinformed.

    I've been gone for awhile, is he just another one of the Pravda Parrots using a different moniker again?

    He’s gone by Orlando/Louisiana in the past. The Hatain-hating incel that faked his suicide and posed as his mother and has literally said Trump is his idol.

    Orlando from a long time back. You might have missed the whole incident where he claimed to be dead and posted as his own mother for a month or so.

    As Russia murders Ukrainian children……


    “One country that did not feature on Donald Trump's list of tariffs on US trade partners was Russia.”

    …. trade between the US and Russia was worth $3.5bn (£2.7bn) in 2024.

    “Ukraine, meanwhile, is facing a 10% tariff on its exports to the US….the new US tariff would mostly hit small producers.”

    Russia not on Trump's tariff list

    I finally see the endgame; he wants countries to beg him personally, so that he can extract concessions that either benefit him personally, or he can direct to his political benefactors.

    Big score for Elmo, favorable regulation for Tesla .... that type of thing. Make the shadier countries buy some Trump cryptocurrency?

    Obviously, none of this will make much long-term manufacturing return to the US, as the tariffs should be expected to be removed in 3.5 years. Just absurd that the grifter criminal thinks he can restructure the global economic order by XO.

    Who ever expected this from a criminal who has no respect or concern for the United States?

    To the people that think this is a strategy to lower tariffs, Vietnam just offered again to eliminate its tariffs with the US (as it did with the TPP that we rejected). We, again, rejected. Because they need to stop manipulating their currency. Of course, the US Department of Treasury says that Vietnam does not manipulate its currency. So...yeah.

    My poor planning of not being old and out of the market? You should be ashamed of the greed of your generation who can ride into the sunset with all the wealth and let everyone else suffer with crippling costs of necessities while we pay your social security and watch our savings plummet.

    Basically your mindset is: I don’t care what happens to others, I won’t be impacted.

    lol
    I’m not ashamed of what others have done only what I’ve done myself. I lived through a pretty tough time in 1973 when we had a pretty significant recession and a few other times. When our son was born I was laid off while my wife was working part time for a chiropractor. My wife wasn’t able to breast feed and our son broke out in a rash from washed cloth diapers. We had to buy formula and disposable diapers. We ate chicken pot pie over rice type meals for months until I could find part time work at a machine shop. That’s one of many tough times we went through. We stayed positive and made it through each one. What we never did like you is blame others for our situations.

    You are a typical blame others type person. I pity you.

    like I said earlier, Have a nice day.

    I have no doubt you “pity” others. It’s this general contempt that is the issue as no one cares how policies impact their fellow man. Just if they “don’t impact them personally” as you stated gleefully.

    You’re right. I pity those that blame others for what they themselves are.

    I apologize for hurting your feelings.

    Have a nice day.

    Lighten up, it’s just all our life savings decreasing over arbitrary napkin math made into law of the land.

    If it were me I’d be pissed too. That I understand and sympathize with you. I have a son who is in the same boat at age 48. My wife and I have decided to leave our savings to him and our three grandkids rather than spend them on ourselves. Our house too. I’m concerned about their future. I sincerely apologize if I gave you the impression I didn’t care about you or others who may have to struggle more than me and my wife. And I hope the future is good to you and yours.

    Trust me, I'm fully aware. I'm down six figures thanks to this bozo.
    I was talking about the personal stuff here. While Homer was a little short on empathy until his last post, the whole "you don't care about anyone but yourself" was a bit much, I thought.

    LOL. May I please have some more socialism, Donald!!

    So pretty much all or most of any real savings DOGE can even effect will be pi$$ed away bailing out farmers who suffer because of the Idiot's tariffs.

    It all makes so much sense. Utter clown show.



    A bailout for farmers caught in Trump’s trade war is already being discussed. ‘If we don’t get something, it will be quite a disaster’




      • Trump administration officials and lawmakers are considering aid for farmers as retaliation looms against U.S. tariffs. China and Canada have already levied duties on some of the top U.S. agricultural exports. During Trump's first term, farmers got $23 billion after an earlier round of tariffs.
    Trump administration officials and lawmakers have begun exploring a relief package for U.S. farmers as agricultural trade groups warn of economic repercussions from tariffs.

    “We are setting up the infrastructure that if, in fact, we have some economic consequences in the short term to our farmers and perhaps our ranchers, that we will have programs in place to solve for that,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told reporters last week.

    “We hope there will be a bailout,” Barry Evans, a sorghum and cotton farmer in Texas who sits on the board of directors for a sorghum grain trade group, told The Wall Street Journal. “If we don’t get something, it will be quite a disaster.”
