We're Going To Be Rich.

[Coolgoober]

With the China talks getting serious I suspect manufacturing will be pouring into this country at a rate the world has ever seen. We're all going to be rich just like trump said. And we won't have to buy that junk anymore.
Oh, Wait. I just remembered, just before the talks donny two dolls changed the whole tariff demand to opening Chinese markets. You know so more American busines men (1 % ers) can do business there instead of here.
So, in the end nothing will change. That's usually what happens with Donny Two Dolls. We'll all still buy our junk from China, most likely still paying more for it, while the fat cats get even fatter. Oh yeah, and we'll get to see all Trumps sycophants tell us how amazing he is. Lucky us.

1. I know they probably voted the wrong way, but I really hope the farmers don't lose their markets this time

[Maru Kitteh]

3. Why? So they can do the same again? Over and over?

So that whole demographic can continue to be supported by the rest of us in their delusions, jingoism and isolationism?

[Walleye]

4. No, mainly because agriculture is a difficult and important industry

16. Unfortunately, due to the idjit, they already have.

It will take years, if ever, for them to get it back.
Thanks to idjit, the u.s. is now seen as unreliable business partner.

[DENVERPOPS]

18. Exactly mw

Last time with the Soy Beans was, and still is, an excellent example.......China just went somewhere else for their soy beans.
Of course, Trump covered his ass by making huge payments to the farmers, but it is dubious he and the Republicans will be doing much of that in the future..........

And now especially, with his ludicrous, ignorant, Psychotic Tariff's, all other countries are starting to look to other countries to buy from....and will continue to do so in the future, not being able to trust the U.S. ever again.....

Putin couldn't be more pleased

2. Rainbow Stew

When a President goes through the White House door
Does what he says he'll do
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Merle Haggard

Umm hmm

8. I remember that song when it first came out!

A perfect song!

[FadedMullet]

11. Nice tune. Hadn't heard it before, but I do remember Bubble-Up. Is it still around?

[SARose]

14. On moldie oldie "Country Classic" stations

Willie’s Roadhouse on Sirius plays it often.

[Wounded Bear]

5. The more things change, the more they stay the same...

trump makes shitty deals. It's what he does.

[Coolgoober]

7. Hey Wounded Bear

You're right about that. All I ever see from trump is -' Anything he touches turns to shit'. I don't think anyone can show evidence to the contrary. And that's one very big reason I'm worried about the good Ole U.S.A.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Yeah, gonna be a rough ride for sure...

I just hope I outlive the bastard.

[IronLionZion]

6. People in other countries are buying less American stuff

that damage is long term and not going to change anytime soon.

[Johnny2X2X]

9. The headspinning is crazy

So we needed these 145% tariffs and the reason for them was to bring back low skilled and low paying factory jobs, now the tariffs are gone, so I guess we don't need those low skilled and low paying jobs back anymore.

10. Bigly

We’ll all be so well off we can have unlimited trips through the McDonald’s drive thru. And maybe dear leader will be there to hand us a greasy bag full of supersized fries!

[Initech]

12. Guy who promised he'd save us billions and trillions is actually costing us money.

He really sucks at this.

[krkaufman]

19. Based on what metric?

“He sucks at this”

Most of us would consider the 2003 Iraq invasion an abysmal failure; not sure Dick Cheney and Halliburton, and the countless military contractor companies spun-up to service the effort would agree.

I’m skeptical that Trump isn’t getting just what he wants.

[Initech]

20. I'm sick of him being the center of the universe.

I'm sick of him getting all the get out of jail free cards. Yeah Bush was an incompetent asshole, but he wasn't an evil, psychotic prick the way Trump and his goon squad are.

[republianmushroom]

13. donnie flinched and dropped his cards

US and China agree to slash tariffs for 90 days

15. He's a genius!

[mwmisses4289]

17. I suspect someone took the universal clue by four to his head,

and pointed out that if stuff doesn't come from China, it means none of his Maga grifting gear gets here. Proving the adage for magats, if it don't effect them personally, it don't matter.

21. Guaranteed orange fatty has some lucre heading his way

In one form or another.

[CrispyQ]

23. Why doesn't he start with making Tesla move their plants over here?

My bad. We just get the massive data centers that suck up all the power & stink up the air.
