DC Tom Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 As this really doesn't fit anywhere else...I'd put it in the "Media's portrayal of Trump thread, but honestly they're pretty much justified here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2018/03/14/in-fundraising-speech-trump-says-he-made-up-facts-in-meeting-with-justin-trudeau/?utm_term=.854bdfebca3d Quote He accused Japan of using gimmicks to deny U.S. auto companies access to its consumers, said South Korea was taking advantage of outdated trade rules even though its economy was strong and said China had single-handedly rebuilt itself on the back of its trade surplus with the United States. "It's called the bowling ball test; do you know what that is? That's where they take a bowling ball from 20 feet up in the air and they drop it on the hood of the car," Trump said of Japan. "And if the hood dents, then the car doesn't qualify. Well, guess what, the roof dented a little bit, and they said, nope, this car doesn't qualify. It's horrible, the way we're treated. It's horrible." It was unclear what he was talking about. Bowling balls. On cars. Justifying tariffs. We have gone full Brawndo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump has no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to trade (and plenty of other issues.) He just blurts **** out to sound tough and backtracks later when people tell him how things work.

The Florida orange tarif considered effects swing state Florida From farm mags I've read the targeting of wheat and certain things goes after certain reps in purple areas of Midwest, as well as port Towns. The game also flips with subsidies and being paid not to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
