His solution seems to be solving a problem by first making the problem worse, no?
I haven’t done much research, but it sounds like Trump is pulling a lot of big moves to get his voters, especially the less educated of them, to vote for him again and vote in November for the GOP candidates. Let’s be honest, us Americans like the sound of higher wages for Americans(a championed hope for the trade war), and he’s preying on that to sway those who don’t have time to research.
I agree that he does like to create then solve problems, too. Controversy is his schtick
I'm just wondering... how high are the tariffs going to have to go before they start coming back down? How high is Trump willing to jack them up? And once they're so high up there, I would think it would only become harder and harder to get them back down.
As high as he can before it starts to fade from the news
He seems to be relying on being able to eventually sit down and agree to just wipe the slate clean and that sounds simply miraculous compared to the way reform usually goes.
Does trump is gay
If it's true what he said, farmers were moving to Canada because of the subsidies... It's only fair to tax them.
True, that does seem to be his gamble. Then again, he knows things we don’t. But he doesn’t care about the country (few politicians actually do), he cares about his power and fame, and keeping it.
True, he knows what sort of leverage the US has to work with.
That's part of why I'd be willing to hold onto my trust.
But I'm not so sure about thinking he doesn't care about the country.
Perhaps he does. But a country is such an abstract thing. Was Caesar loyal to Rome, or his friends and army?
Trump runs on instict
He doesnt have a concrete plan @cheetah2013a
True, and observant
I think that attitude that politicians only care about power and fame is overblown. I think plenty of them care about the country, it's just that plenty of them think they know a lot more than what they do about what's good for the country. Perhaps I'm being too charitable but I think it's good to try.
No, you’re probably right. I’m just really cynical
If Trump cared about power, he wouldn't be clashing so much against both parties. He would have filled his government with the other Republicans, like Obama did with Hillary.
True, he's done things for which neither party will congratulate him, like with pardoning that black woman.
Yeah, he does seem to be going against his own party sometimes, but he’s making the news
There's the first article I found.
Basically, she had a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense.
So all the Republicans who are very anti-drugs would not be happy about it.
But yeah probably the vast majority of people won't even hear about this.
One thing I've found very interesting is that Trump spends an inordinate amount of time not just bashing people who are doing a bad job in his eye, which is the obvious thing everyone knows about, but he also spends just as much time congratulating people for doing a good job! Of course, the media never reports on that.
Yeah, now that you mention it, that’s about right
In so many of his speeches and meetings where the press is there, he will literally go around the room pointing people out and telling them they're doing a good job, listing them off one after another.
He’s your friendly neighborhood president
I think I already posted this here but it's a very good video where Trump talks, in his own words, about his intentions with the trade war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACnZZVydef0
He also hilariously shuts down a BS question from a CNN reporter XD
Was it really URGENT?
nah that channel has cringy sensational clickbait titles
but the content is really good nonetheless
I mean, urgent if you need to keep up with the president I guess.
but no, not for your average layperson
nice nice nice that reagan is babbling about allies while **these allies are doing the same thing to America**
Fuck Reagan
~~not just for that obviously~~
Yeah it is interesting... Reagan says a trade war would be a threat to national security... while Trump says that this trade war is for the sake of national security. 🤔
