The WSJ, that bastion of liberal thought (NOT!), had this to say about Trump's stupid trade wars:
HOW DO YOU LIKE THE TRADE WAR NOW?
Trump is furious that Canada won't take his tariffs lying down.
"President Trump wanted a trade war with the world, and Americans are getting it, good and hard. Stock prices continued to decline on Tuesday amid the latest Canada-U.S. tariff tit-for-tat. By the end of the day the two sides were talking about a temporary truce, but who knows which side of the tariff bed Mr. Trump will wake up on Wednesday.

"Or when Mr. Trump behaves as if his manhood is implicated because a foreign nation won't take his nasty border taxes lying down. We said from the beginning that this North American trade war is the dumbest in history, and we were being kind.
Trump is a weak man.
Here he was yesterday selling Musk's cars in front of America's White House because his Nazi-saluting pal's Tesla stock was tanking. A more disgraceful act I've never seen in a president in my life. Selling cars!
Would you buy a used car from this convicted felon?
A car salesman is sitting in America's Oval Office (whether what he's doing is legal or not, Trump doesn't care. He doesn't follow the laws of the United States, he's a convicted felon):

Actually, I wouldn't by a new truck or car from the Felon of the USA.
Come to think of it, wouldn't buy a bible, a steak, a bottle of wine, or a godamn thing from the orange POS.
Shaw quoted this from the WSJ editorial... "We said from the beginning that this North American trade war is the dumbest in history, and we were being kind"
Once valued allies now feel differently about the US. They are seeking, some for the first time, markets other than the US for their products. How will that benefit our economy?
Pres Trump has said about the USMCA... “Every aspect that you could imagine they took advantage of... I looked at some of these agreements, I’d read them at night and I’d say, ‘Who would ever sign a thing like this?’ "
Trump also said this, after he signed the USMCA, which he now trashes daily...
"The USMCA is the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law. It’s the best agreement we’ve ever made..."
How is any of this good for the US, good for our North American alliance?
The simple answer is, it is not.
I know, from reading our friends at the Mothership that they love to keep their heads stuck in the sand and either ignore news and information completely, because they already know it all, or spend their time mostly watching Fox, OAN and NewsMax.
This keeps them mostly in fact free zones, so they will never be forced to deal with, or face up to the reality and incongruence of Trump's statements above.
Trump is openly calling the person who signed the USMCA an idiot, and hoping folks like the Mothership sailors who support him as the savviest deal maker the US Presidency has ever seen, don't remember that he's the idiot who signed that agreement.
Rising unemployment, higher inflation, a trade war with allies, a shrinking economy, confused allies and more... all brought to you by the GOP, President Trump and people like Skud, -FJ, Joe Con and others who not only mostly support and trust Trump, but also whole heartedly support his elected enablers in Congress.

What more proof does any American need to understand that Trump is either the dumbest man to ever sit in the Oval Office or that Trump is suffering from dementia. How could he not know that he signed the USMCA?
One other guess is that Trump DOES know he signed it, but he's counting on his uninformed, misinformed, and zombie followers to not notice or give a flying donut about his 180 degree change.
In any case, we, the informed, are going to suffer, and Trump's cultists will as well, but they'll continue to pretend he's doing a great job in destroying America here and in the eyes of the world.

The Mother Ship's sailors fit that description to a T, for Trump! They deserve him and everything they're getting from him.

I’m watching my retirement evaporate and Donald Trump is doing Tesla commercials for his buddy at the White House.
If only Donald Trump cared about the finances of common American citizens.
Trump is worried that multi-billionaire's Tesla's stock is tanking and Musk may lose a couple billion dollars, but still be the richest man on the planet.
I, and the person called Mia, lose bigly from our IRA, and we'll be out on the street.
Trump does not care about the middle class or the poor. When will they get that through their cement skulls?
Shaw... they do deserve it, but we suffer alongside our fellow, albeit uninformed or willfully ignorant, Americans.
You're welcome!
Buy American!
Yes -FJ... we know you support the tariffs. But I doubt, in your own words, you can explain why we need them, or even what Trump is trying to accomplish.
But maybe you can.
Can you rise to the challenge? Can you explain to us and others like Z, Mal and Baysider, what good is there to be found in their 401K's and retirement accounts losing in some cases, hundreds of thousands of $$$ in value in weeks of actions from Trump?
I doubt you can because you've never been one to write or explain, in your own words, anything. ANYTHING. AT. ALL.
But I'm willing to be persuaded.
Trump's merch is primarily made in China or other countries! You silly, silly man! LOL!
"The ABC News 4 crew walked around outside a rally in North Charleston Friday, lifting the tags on several items. Many read made in China, in the Dominican Republic, in Haiti and in Honduras but not in the USA."
It bothered me when Canada backed off their tariff. They should have one upped him and gone to 75%.
