The Donald Trump Score Card

I think you mean fucking, pathological liar.

 

Sure you are

 

looks like you are using Picasa to doctor that photo.

 

Donald Duck's only real sin in political circles, is that he's too obviously a pathological liar. If he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth he'd make a great used car salesman. The state of Virginia doesn't even have a lemon law, so he can sell all the crap he wants.

 

Trump Attacks Mueller Probe - Inadvertently Confirms Russia Helped Elect Him

Trump attacks Mueller probe - inadvertently confirms Russia helped elect him

 

But, that's not really what he meant to say.... Or someshyt.

 

Anybody with a modern computer costing over a thousand dollars or so can have a field day editing video clips of him and making him say anything they want. Sony has a new lightweight AI algorithm that will even string all the clips together for you in a comical fashion. Linux is the future because its cheap VR and everyone agrees reality TV sucks. In Donald's case, so bad even AI may struggle to make the man look more foolish.

 

Why would I lie to people I don't even know? That makes no sense. What would be the point?
Go back to drinking the Kool-Aid and leave the grownups alone. I'm sure you're parched.

 

A friend of mine said she is going to call her uterus John McCain. That way, trump and the evangelicals will leave her alone.

 

Trump is invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose more tariffs on Mexico.

Mexico and Canada wanted Trump to end the steel and aluminum tariffs in exchange for ratifying the revised NAFTA..

Trump says US will impose 5% tariff on all Mexican imports from June 10

excerpts:

"The U.S. will impose a 5% tariff on all Mexican imports from June 10 — and more duties will be added in the coming months if Mexico does not take action "to dramatically reduce or eliminate the number of illegal aliens crossing into the U.S., the White House said Thursday.

The announcement comes as U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on Thursday sent a letter to congressional leaders, kick starting the process of approving updates to the North American Free Trade Agreement."


"The United States imported $346.5 billion of goods in 2018, an increase of 10.3 percent over the year prior. The 2018 total accounted for 13.6 percent of overall U.S. imports that year."

 

Trump is addicted to tariffs.


Trump says US will impose 5% tariff on all Mexican imports from June 10

Trump:

"If the crisis persists, however, the Tariffs will be raised to 10 percent on July 1, 2019. Similarly, if Mexico still has not taken action to dramatically reduce or eliminate the number of illegal aliens crossing its territory into the United States, Tariffs will be increased to 15 percent on August 1, 2019, to 20 percent on September 1, 2019, and to 25 percent on October 1, 2019. Tariffs will permanently remain at the 25 percent level unless and until Mexico substantially stops the illegal inflow of aliens coming through its territory."

 

Here’s why China’s trade war threat to restrict rare earth minerals is so serious

Here's why China's trade war threat to restrict rare earth minerals is so serious

excerpt:

"U.S. consumption of rare earth compounds and metals relies heavily on imports, which rose to $160 million in 2018, according to USGS. Eighty percent were from China. To make it worse, although other countries supply to the U.S. including Estonia (6%), France (3%) and Japan (3%), much of their materials were derived from mineral concentrates and chemical substances produced in China, according to Hui Shan, commodities analyst at Goldman Sachs.

“The U.S.′ reliance on Chinese supply may be higher than the import breakdown data suggest on the surface,” Shan said in a note Wednesday."

 

Trump is addicted to declaring national emergencies.

Trump Administration Eases Ban On Huawei After Technology Stocks Tumble

excerpt:

"The Trump administration last week announced restrictions that seemed aimed at Huawei. An executive order signed by the president declared a "national emergency" and blocked U.S. companies from doing business with foreign tech companies that pose "an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States." The Commerce Department said it would add Huawei and its subsidiaries to a list of companies generally prohibited from buying U.S. technology.

Commerce officials say Huawei was added to the blacklist after concluding that the company was engaged in activities "contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests.""

 

He reminds me of a carnival barker.

 

This is unfair to carnival barkers....

 

What people don’t understand is the ship wasn’t just named after Sen John McCain, but also his father, Adm. John S. McCain, Jr., a former U.S. Pacific Command commander;
and his grandfather, Adm. John S. McCain, a distinguished World War II carrier task force commander.

 

Trump's latest move: proposed new tariffs on Mexico as punishment for their failure to control the migrants.The Latest: Mexican leader warns against 'coercive measures' Let's see how that goes--a trade war on two fronts with China and Mexico. BTW, contrary to what the Donald tells us, it won't be China and Mexico that will be paying the tariffs. It will be us. So long as our economy is humming along, Trump probably has a shot at re-election, but moves like this may bring about runaway inflation, recession, or stagflation, any of which could sink Trump's plans for another term. Bring it on! Instead of punishing Mexico, he's punishing the American voter for electing a dumbass to the Oval Office.
