I'm not a fan of governing via proclamation (Executive Order). That said, my take on the tariff tweets is to consider Trump's past. He spent decades negotiating business deals and wrote a book The Art of the Deal. Trump is just posturing ahead of future trade talks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Europe is targeted orange juice?" You then post a theory that what this goof said was a temper response, and claim it as fact.

Of all the posts on this page, Tiberius's was the only one with actual facts in it; the rest are speculation or extremely bad "jokes." Every post before Tiberius's had typos in it, as did the posts after. Why not go after those? Nor did he "post a theory" as he was clearly referring to reports of the developing story; either way, concluding that he was "claim[ing] it as fact" is a leap considering the way he included "apparently" as a qualifier. Even if we take Tiberius's post in the worst light possible, it is still far more considerate & coherent than row_33's drive-by graffiti on his best day. I don't know either of you, nor do I care, but typos can be chalked up to mistake. Harder to find an innocent explanation for your post, though. It's just some lame ass "shoot the messenger" bullsh*t. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/02/us/politics/trump-tariffs-steel-aluminum.html https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-was-angry-unglued-when-he-started-trade-war-officials-n852641 You're a bad joke, shitnugget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is just posturing ahead of future trade talks That’s what all the contorting conservatives are hoping...you know, the ones who have abandoned all conservative principles to support Trump. I suppose we’ll have an answer this coming week. But based on the press blitz Trump’s moronic underlings are undertaking, it would appear the Trumpian conservatives will have to find a new (contorted) position to take.

Nanker Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 You’re all missing the point. “All” the pundits were grousing and bitching for months that the markets were over inflated and way over due for a correction. It just wasn’t happening by itself, so he stepped in and make it correct itself. MAGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 ... What country is expected to have the greatest demand for steel by 2030, increasing from 60kg per capita consumption to 160kg? This same country foresees the biggest problem to this rising demand is a lack of capacity to produce the steel locally. Anyone? This same country is about to enter into a FTA with the US which will, more than likely, involve zero tariffs and shut out other steel producing rivals such as China while opening the market up for US steel. Anyone know? More importantly, anyone know why this isn't being discussed by those reaching hysterical levels over a negotiating tactic? ******************* Which is it, Ms. May? http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-35951108 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
