The Donald Trump Score Card

Could you name three worse beers?

 

We have a president that reflects the crass of people.

 

How many Trump products were made overseas? Here’s the complete list.

How many Trump products were made overseas? Here’s the complete list.

excerpt:

"The Clinton ad claims that “Trump’s products have been made in 12 other countries.” This is correct. We know of at least 12 countries where Trump products were manufactured (China, the Netherlands, Mexico, India, Turkey, Slovenia, Honduras, Germany, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam and South Korea). Further, Trump products transited other countries through the packaging and shipping process — meaning workers in more than 12 countries contributed to getting many of Trump’s products made, packaged and delivered to the United States.

As our inventory shows, manufacturing is a global process. Components of a product of an American company are made in different parts of the world, depending on who offers the most competitive prices, and ultimately imported into the country to be sold to American consumers. It’s not as simple as deciding not to eat an Oreo because Nabisco found a cheaper place to employ some of its workers.

Trump’s practice as a businessman is not consistent with his current rhetoric against trade as a presidential nominee — this vulnerability is backed with more than enough factual evidence. If Trump brand customers took the same stance against his products as he did against Nabisco, it is clear they would be left with few Trump items to buy. However, we do know of at least four Trump products made in the United States: “Make America Great Again” hats, bedding, water and cologne."

Opinion: Trump’s jobs tweet was a lot worse than insider trading

Trump’s jobs tweet was a lot worse than insider trading

excerpt:

"Trump is a throwback to those earlier politicians who tried to spin the economic news in advance. But our current president has gone further. No one should forget that before he was elected, Trump had waged a war against the credibility of the government statistics for years. He claimed that the numbers were fake, polished to make Barack Obama look good. And then, once he was in office, he stopped the attacks. Suddenly, the data were honest!

Trump’s attacks on the credibility of the BLS and the Census Bureau are not that different from his attacks on the credibility of the FBI, CIA or Justice Department. For Trump and his voters, these institutions are to be trusted only when they actively and wholeheartedly support Trump."

 

do as I say not as I do...and don't talk about Ivanka and her Chinese trademarks and patents and security clearance.

 

US tariffs a dangerous game, says EU

Sometimes I think it's not totally out of the question to assume that Trump and the Eurofascists are merely carrying out Putin's plan to return to the 'Great Powers' era.

Also, Putin is the antichrist.

 

Oh my dog!! Sam Bee called Ivanka a ****! She shouldn't have done that---that's Ted Nugents territory. You remember-- that guy that called Hillary a ****--talked about killing Obama--called him a "sub=human mongrel"? Yeah--that's the one--the one that was invited to the white house for dinner with our racist orange leader. Our leader LOVES the uneducated and the uneducated love the stupid.

Republicans gobsmacked by Trump’s tariffs
GOP lawmakers thought the president was going to hit China — not key U.S. allies.

Republicans gobsmacked by Trump’s tariffs

excerpt:

"Republicans are bitterly protesting the Trump administration’s decision to impose sweeping tariffs on U.S. allies — alarmed that the White House ignored their frenzied lobbying campaign and afraid that the party could suffer at the polls in November.

The GOP’s free-traders were mollified this spring as the Trump administration exempted U.S. allies from steel and aluminum tariffs imposed on other countries like China. But on Thursday, that all changed as President Donald Trump imposed 10 percent tariffs on aluminum imports and 25 percent tariffs on steel imports from the European Union, Canada and Mexico.

The move thrusts the GOP back into an internecine war over free-trade policies that have defined the party for decades, just as Republicans mobilize for a hotly contested midterm campaign."

 

Threats of retaliatory tariffs prompted by Trump have cost Iowa pork industry $560 million: report

Threats of retaliatory tariffs prompted by Trump have cost Iowa pork industry $560M: report

excerpt:

"Concerns over retaliatory tariffs from Mexico have cost Iowa pork producers roughly $560 million, the Des Moines Register reported Friday.

The newspaper reported on Friday that Iowa pork producers could take another hit if Mexico imposes a threatened 20 percent tariff on hams and pork shoulders from the U.S.

Producers in the state already face a 25 percent tariff on pork exports to China. But duties from Mexico – the largest export market for American pork – could make the outlook even tougher for producers.

Iowa is the largest pork producer in the U.S. Gregg Hora, the president of the Iowa Pork Producers Association, told the Register that the threatened tariffs are "potentially devastating news for Iowa’s pig farmers and the rural Iowa economy."

While the potential tariffs from Mexico would hurt U.S. pork producers, it would ultimately drive down the cost to consumers, the Register reported.

The tariff threats from Mexico came after the Trump administration announced on Thursday that it would impose steep duties on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union."

 

Challenge accepted!

So his lawyers just filed a brief to a Muller that it was impossible for the president to obstruct justice, as he's above the law.

Hint, everyone knows he'd commit perjury the second he was sworn in.

The government loses 1,500 children. Some of the nation is slightly irritated.

A comedian calls an administration member a **** for happy family selfies in the wake of the news of 1500 lost children. The nation is outraged. About the c word.

Americans deserve Donald Trump.

 

Trump like to say he's a great negotiator who makes great deals. Can anybody name one? He’s good at withdrawing from deals, but not putting one together.

 

How Delaware Thrives as a Corporate Tax Haven

How Delaware Thrives as a Corporate Tax Haven

excerpt:

"Big corporations, small-time businesses, rogues, scoundrels and worse — all have turned up at Delaware addresses in hopes of minimizing taxes, skirting regulations, plying friendly courts or, when needed, covering their tracks. Federal authorities worry that, in addition to the legitimate businesses flocking here, drug traffickers, embezzlers and money launderers are increasingly heading to Delaware, too. It’s easy to set up shell companies here, no questions asked.

“Shells are the No. 1 vehicle for laundering illicit money and criminal proceeds,” said Lanny A. Breuer, assistant attorney general for the criminal division of the Justice Department. “It’s an enormous criminal justice problem. It’s ridiculously easy for a criminal to set up a shell corporation and use the banking system, and we have to stop it.”"

 

Outlook Grim in Latin America for Relations Under Trump

16% in Latin America approve of Trump's job performance
Trump trails Obama's approval ratings in year one in every country
Latin Americans expect relations to worsen rather than improve

Outlook Grim in Latin America for Relations Under Trump

excerpt:

"Trump's image was poor across the region even before the recent controversy involving the revocation of Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Salvadoran refugees, and his alleged disparaging remarks about them. The U.S. president's approval ratings were highest in Venezuela at 37%, while his lowest ratings came from Mexico, where only 7% approved of his job performance.

In comparison, majorities in almost every Latin American country approved of former President Barack Obama when Gallup asked a similar question during his first year in office. Trump's year one approval rating trails Obama's in every country Gallup surveyed in both years, with the largest declines in El Salvador and Costa Rica."

6 Strongmen Trump Has Praised — And The Conflicts It Presents

excerpt:

"President Trump just seems to have a thing for strongmen.

He invited the brutal Philippine leader, Rodrigo Duterte, to the White House during a "very friendly" phone call Sunday. On Tuesday, Trump has another call — this one with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump's invitation came despite Duterte's violent crackdown on drugs, that has left more than 7,000 of his countrymen dead since he took power less than a year ago. The White House defended Trump's decision, saying the Philippines is a key partner in dealing with North Korea, but experts say that's a stretch."
