He does, but ppl are way more emotional than usual. Mainly cause they lost an election they thought they had. Also, since everyone is so polarized by trump, GOP has done a good job of showing the lefts warts like AOC, Bernie, etc. It’s driven ppl so crazy to go to block ppl on twitter that don’t share their trendy takes. @TBT

This is way off. No one would be losing their crap over a major Jeb upset had his polling been worse than Trump's was. It's all about Trump being an evil moron.

I honestly don't think people are up in arms about Trump because they lost the election two years ago. It's his bastardization of the POTUS position. Even Republicans who voted for him would agree with that if they were being honest and not just trying to own the libs.

If Jeb won it, it would still be status quo with the media. Giant dumbass, racist, etc. Trump is polarized because he can’t get off Twitter. Obviously less is more and Trump has hurt himself by being himself as president. Hillary, the other option, relax TBT, didn’t have a lot going for her either other than not tweeting dumb crap.

So is that a yes or no on feeling duped and regretting your vote for trump?

I’m not getting the outrage. Everything I’ve read says the MOU’s are the pretext to binding agreements.  The trade guy implies that these MOU’s are binding, if so why not call them what they are straight out? MOU’s are often times not legally binding. 

This is just looking for crap to complain about IMO.  Who in the hell would ever sign anything with the Chinese that wasn’t binding?  Hell a binding agreement will likely be rendered worthless by those guys anyway. But at least that gives a pretext for formally announcing a withdrawal from the agreement.   

The Paris Climate accord (for example) is another essentially meaningless MOU, that the Chinese signed and then promptly completely ignored.  Meaningless. 

What’s up with this new LibDerp love affair with signing ultimately meaningless documents?   I guess the ceremonial feel good part that makes you believe you actually accomplished something.

How positively Chamberlainish.

Your defense of all things trump knows no bounds.  Appreciate the hustle.

You’re usual inability to explain why this is even an issue is both unparalleled   and expected. 

But I get it, you guys prefer meaningless pieces of paper.   

As I said:  Chamberlainish



The president being a moron isn't an issue at all. It's basic fact and this is another example.

LOL, so dumb.   To date most of the MOU's the U.S. has signed aren't really worth the paper they're written on.

If an MOU is binding, then in this case, call it what it is, a trade agreement.   I believe all trade agreements have to be ratified by one if not both houses of Congress, correct?  An MOU doesn't require any consultation or vote in Congress at all, from what I've seen.

Now, which would you rather have.   An executive branch running around signing unilateral MOU's (which may have no real binding measures and are just political theater in many instances) or an administration negotiating deals that have to be ratified by Congress?

BTW, the Canada-Mexico-US trade agreement has not been ratified, vote likely in March. 

But again, you guys continue your demands for Chamberlainish methods that ultimately mean nothing.

You're quite literally tripling down on the "Trump is dumb" mantra.

Don't even bother anymore if that's the best you can do, terrible.

When you can actually provide a viable reason as to why an MOU is the way to go, then try again.

Nobody cares.  You are so blinded to defend this guy on something so mindless like him arguing with his own staff on "MOU vs. contract vs. trade agreement" you can't see the humor in that video.

Wait, at first you agreed he looked dumb in the clip.

Pretty dumb.

 :lol: you obviously care dummy, otherwise you wouldn't have said anything.

But in the end, as I expected, nothing of substance at all out of you on this.   Nothing new here.

Chinese indexes up huge after Trump delays Tariff.   

In other news, oil price tanks after Trump says oil prices are too high.

Trade exchanges are driven by socialism?

Weird takes as usual, Dug.

FYI, the Chinese indexes . . . are, you know, Chinese.

Oh no, I was referring to creating a dependent class of farmers who are relying on my tax dollars which are taken by the federal government and given to them.  Ultimately I understand that the government is in place to redistribute private wealth.  I am more concerned that these farmers are not going to learn the value of good old fashioned hard work when they are being provided income with no output.

They will end up like those no good college graduates

Well this is certainly a new thing.   Never heard a peep about this  until now.   When Farmers have been getting paid subsidies on everything for decades.

I wonder what brought on this new great concern about farm subsidies.   :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nope, your "campaign" is only a week old and looks like it's pretty much driven by rage.

So, no thanks.
