The Donald Trump Score Card

This is happening during Trump's trade war. The effect is supposed to be the opposite.

A similar opposite effect is foreign businesses coming to the U.S. to avoid Trump's tariffs and U.S. owned businesses moving part of their operations overseas to avoid retaliatory tariffs. Trump intially said that he was trying to help U.S. owned businesses operate in the U.S.. Strangely, Trump has praised foreign businesses for coming to the U.S. (Taiwanese Foxconn, foreign motorcycle companies) and has threatened the U.S. owned Harley-Davidson with punishments such as taxes.

U.S. businesses that had invested setting up some of their operations overseas, such as in China, as part of their supply network are being damaged by Trump's tariffs. The smaller businesses don't have the money to start over and move their foreign operations back to the U.S. to avoid import tariffs. Even if they did, when Trump's tariffs eventually end, they would have to move those operations overseas which costs money.

The displacement effect of Trump's tariffs has crippled some of those businesses permanently. And they didn't get a welfare check from him like the U.S. farmers did because they are not patriotic symbols and wedge-issue talking points for Trump to use as a backdrop for his campaign and to stoke his ego.

 

They better get that thing fixed before he starts World War III !

Trump or the teleprompter?

Honeybees hit by Donald Trump budget cuts - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Washington (CNN)The US Department of Agriculture has suspended data collection for its annual Honey Bee Colonies report, citing cost cuts -- a move that robs researchers and the honeybee industry of a critical tool for understanding honeybee population declines, and comes as the USDA is curtailing other research programs.

It's also another step toward undoing President Barack Obama's government-wide focus on protecting pollinators, including bees and butterflies, whose populations have plummeted in recent years."

 

trump is beyond repair. Just send it to the scrap heap

 

See what I mean!

 

"other research programs" relating to the damaging effects of climate change on the nutrient value of rice and grass used for grazing cattle. Agriculture Department buries studies showing dangers of climate change Scientists who worked on the project are given the choice of being fired or shipped off to Kansas.Inconvenient truths.

 

Russian State TV Laughs at Trump’s Fourth of July Parade

Russian State TV Laughs at Trump’s Fourth of July Parade

excerpt:

"One of the hosts, Yevgeny Popov, chided the president, saying sarcastically, “The greatest parade of all time is going to be held today in Washington, that is what our Donald Trump has said.”

Popov roasted Trump, saying, “The American president announced he would show us the newest tanks.” But, “these are Abrams and Sherman tanks, used during World War II and withdrawn from service in 1957.”

Co-host Olga Skabeyeva joined in the mock-fest, saying, “The paint on these vehicles is peeling off. There are no cannons, and their optics have been glued on with adhesive tape.”"

 

No attack helicopters were in the parade.

Sources say that Trump tried to order some used ones that were stationed at airports during the American Revolutionary War.

 

Remind me to never read a teleprompter during a rain storm.

 

You are correct. The alternates are more unnerving.

 

OUR … a moment of CANDOR … !

 

Trump once said that Jeff Epstein was his friend and has been so for many years. He said Jeff was a great guy and liked his women on the young side! Jeff was arrested this morning when his private jet landed in New Jersey. The jet had been named the LOLITA EXPRESS!

 

Rumor has it that trump raped a thirteen year old girl at one of jeff's parties.

 

The economy is humming along nicely.

 

There is a similar report about Durshowitz or however you spell his name.

 

Passing around vicious rumors about anybody is despicable behavior.

 

Don't sweat it, if there was even the remotest possibility of it being true, the massive hard left news services would be "reporting" on it every 5 minutes. Instead, nobody's talking.

Really though, do you expect today's press to do anything BUT spread rumors? HAH!
