President Trump

[Brian in SLC]

Remind me...what are we arguing about?

Didn't Trump say he would reduce the trade deficit? Especially with "Jina"?

And, after year, it just hit a 9 year high?

So now that people have more money and can afford to buy 'Merican...they're still not?

How does that make sense?

Meh, indeed.

[Brian in SLC]

A Trump administration will change our failed trade policies, and I mean quickly.
Thank you. Here are seven steps I would pursue right away to bring back our jobs. Number one, I am going to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which has not yet been ratified.
I am going to appoint the toughest and smartest, and I know them all, trade negotiators to fight on behalf of American workers.
I am going to direct the secretary of commerce to identify every violation of trade agreements a foreign country is currently using to harm you, the American worker.
I will then direct all appropriate agencies to use every tool under American and international law to end these abuses. And abuse is the right word.
Number four. I’m going to tell our NAFTA partners that I intend to immediately renegotiate the terms of that agreement to get a better deal by a lot. Not just a little, by a lot for our workers.
And if they don’t agree to a renegotiation, which they might not because they are so used to having their own way — not with Trump they won’t have their own way.
Then, I will submit under Article 2205 of the NAFTA Agreement that America intends to withdraw from the deal.
Number five. I’m going to instruct my treasury secretary to label China a currency manipulator, which should have been done years ago.
Any country that devalues their currency in order to take unfair advantage of the United States, which is many countries, will be met with sharply. And that includes tariffs and taxes.
Number six, I’m going to instruct the U.S. trade representative to bring trade cases against China, both in this country and at the WTO.
China’s unfair subsidy behavior is prohibited by the terms of its entrance to the WTO and I intend to enforce those rules and regulations. And basically, I intend to enforce the agreements from all countries, including China.
Seven, if China does not stop its illegal activities, including its theft of American trade secrets, I will use every lawful — this is very easy. This is so easy. I love saying this. I will use every lawful presidential power to remedy trade disputes, including the application of tariffs consistent with Section 201 and 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, and Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
And when they say trade expansion, they’re talking about other countries, they’re not talking about us because there is no expansion. They get the expansion, we get the joblessness. That’s the way it works. It’s not going to happen anymore.

Dang, dude, the tax cuts just came through this month, give it a chance. It's like all the JackTards that blamed Trump for not following through on his campaign promises his 3rd WEEK in office.

Obama had 8 years and really has nothing to show for it.

I can't decide if Brian is now just playing stupid or is stupid....

We're post one year.

See that quote above? "And I mean quickly". He's had a year to deal with China and NAFTA. Does it look like he's making progress on either? Nope.

What do you think he'll accomplish in his remaining 3 years (not counting getting impeached)?

That said, I thought the former White House Communications Director, the "Mooch", held his own on Bill:

Of course I consume and share fake news. Studies have proven that we all need laughter and friendship during the day to be happy.

What does quoting something from the Huffington post mean to anyone anyways. They provide fake news, so posting something about a company promoting fake news about news that fake news is being used to propogate more fake news about some other fake news. I think I confused myself also

It's all good.

I just don't understand the all the anti Trump bullcrap while Hillary can get away with obvious crimes with no consequences. It just seems to me that the whole thing is just a bait and switch to keep the FBI and pressure off of her and give her time to bury people and information.

[Brian in SLC]

I just don't understand the all the anti Trump bullcrap while Hillary can get away with obvious crimes with no consequences.

Ok, I'll play. Name one "obvious crime" that HRC got away with. We'll look at that specific crime.

I'm ready.
