Trump's too incompetent to do anything too damaging. But the Democrats...

Growing on a lot of people if those recent polls are accurate.

Californian bills banning "fake news"

Maybe. I think it's more likely the moderate Republicans are falling in line, which isn't really enough to win.

And it won't help the Republicans much int he midterms.

I saw that fake news bill @pratel . It hasn’t passed though. Right?

Not to my knowledge.

What has trump done that makes you like him less? Outside of these risky trade wars

Terrified me it was even on the table though. I've seen what the left has done at the Universities.

When Tim was talking about how you can tell which candidate would win just by looking at them it reminded me of this video. A lot of people voted for Hillary just because she was a woman but when the genders were swapped it was very easy to see why she was a terrible candidate. https://youtu.be/2qzNpUvpkDU

Trade wars, inability to shut up. Not fond of how the debt went (though that's not necessarily his fault).

On an issue-by-issue basis there's very little I'm actually upset at.

The only thing that Trump has done that pissed me off was bombing Syria.

There's not much to be pleased by either.

Eh? I guess.

I've got a list of people I'd prefer, but I'm not completely opposed.

I was ok with Syria. You have to stand by your threats if you want to get taken seriously. It didn't escalate.

Syria is a bit of a disaster overall and i's really complicated to get into.

The reset of trade tariffs is a good thing in my opinion. The world is pissed, but that’s because they’re losing some pretty sweet deals.

Valid critisms. Although him not shutting up is bring entertainment. Makes me remember the bush days before Obama.

I agree the outcome is potentially good. But it's worrying.

EU I'm not concerned about, it's china

It’s going to be hard. That’s no lie. It’s going to be a fight.

That's the war I worry that won't end quickly and a lot of damage could be done

To be fair, he might have "won" the trade war with Europe insofar as it's "winnable." I'll have to see what terms there are. It is breaking news.

I saw

But they were most likely to fold. They need our markets too much

If tariffs become more even or Europe quits pouring excess money into certain companies (*cough* Airbus *cough*) I might change my mind.

I don't like tariffs.

And I'm not really sold on "trade deficits" too much either.

No one does

Eh, some do. Tariffs are overall bad, but they can favor certain people.

They can also serve as a corrective to certain forms of improper behavior.

It benefits no one.

But on the net, they tend to be bad, especially if you're going at people who aren't really misbehaving.

I’d be fine with none, but we can only do that if everyone is open like that.

It devalues our currency and damages the supplies from foreign markets

Net bad all around

There are cases where they might make sense.

The only use is trying to secure lower tariffs of our own

China, for example, heavily subsidizes heavy metals to corner the global market for political ends.
