60% approval from the American people for Obama. Meanwhile, Trump continues to struggle to get to 40% due to his own daily missteps and comical gaffes.
You all are going to follow him right off the cliff. It's fascinating to watch.

Why say "no" when my "yes" demonstrates the fact that I am more informed than you?

Informed when all you have to go to is something that you think may happen? LOL. I know you all miss the barry economy where he said all these jobs aren't coming back and yet here we are with record unemployment. Sorry that less people on welfare and food stamps are bad for you and your party.

That's hyperbole. I've realized for decades that the man is a bombastic imbecile. The whole world has. And yet he was still the preferred choice over Hillary. Your quarrel ought to be with her and the machine that forced her on all of the voters.

How in the world does Hillary give repubs cover for selecting Trump over 17 other repubs in the primaries? Trying to blame Trump on Hillary is a joke. He was the republican nomination; there's no getting around that pesky little fact.

I've been paying attention to commodities indexes and all the price increases I've passed along to my customers over the past quarter.

I've been paying attention to the fact that all these tarrifs are likely to induce a totally unnecessary economic slowdown in 2019...and I've been paying attention to the fact that Trump has taken a page out of Hugo Chavez's book and is bitching about rising interest rates...

Oh no you don’t , Hugo Chavez’s never had the luxury of having the largest economy in the world one that is set up to make a certain amount of money for their goods or they dump them on the ground . If you liberals want a good cause you should biotching about subsidies , fixed price lines that are guaranteed not to fall below . I believe ourbumper cherry crops are the most updated commodity they threw away . The whole crying because we lost a few dollars on tariffs to try and fix a lopsided trade agreement is so bogus . Those same people crying because they lost some will be the same people dumping their crops on the ground for the insurance when the Market won’t pay enough .

I'm watching it happen you dolt.

B2B and wholesalers are passing along tremendous price increases to their customers right now...all tarrif related. I'm talking 10% - 25% depending on input commodities.

I live this, I am a sales manager for a fortune 500 company. You eat boogers.

I'm not a liberal. I like the free market. Trump hates the free market. You hate the free market.

Most Republicans didn't vote for him in the primary. He won pluralities, not majorities.

My bad for assuming you were , Trump hates the “ free market “so much that he is the one purposing there be zero tariffs and only free trade , you need to read up more and pay attention if you “ love the free market “ You have no idea what I do or who I am . I also believe in the FREE market . Those extra Cents you have to pass on is nothing compared to the monies lost to other countries you already have figured into your costs.

In what world is 10% - 25% "cents"?

Let me break this down, the global free market/free trade is great for the common man because it drives profit margins down closer to cost of production - making everything more affordable.

This knowledge was lost when Trump rode his "everybody screwed us" wave of populism to the White House.

The lost manufacturing jobs are never coming back - there is a huge population dropoff after millennials. We will continue to automate.

The global free market is great for me because it allows me to source more cheaply and therefore offer lower prices.

Tarrifs are bad because they interrupt trade deals, contracts and agreements right down to the local level. They create an inefficiency - rising prices without the productivity to match.

Worst of all, people will find long term solutions that exclude us. Tarrifs are poorly informed price increases. Kind of like when the Saudis got really greedy with oil - that incentivized us to go full bore into our own oil and gas industry. The Saudis spent all of 2015 trying to crush American oil and gas by dumping oil onto the global market. Didn't work - the new competitor was here for good, the loss of market share was permanent.

Most Republicans don't want cover. They want the right policy, and knew what they were getting.

No more so than the republican nomination. Circle back around to the point that you can't blame Trump on Hillary.

So now we can’t give him credit of winning the electorial college either , because he didn’t win a majority in the republican nomination ? This is too much of a rabbit hole even for me I’m just gonna stand on the edge a watch this time lol

I guess during your zeal to “ break it down to me “ you totally blew off the whole “ Trump wants and purposed a True Free trade deal “ you broke down your view of the market that included tariffs . So how does a president that is publicly advocating for NO TARIFFS, hate the FREE market we are under today ?

actually it is sad to watch...these are our neighbors, coworkers, even family. One or two things will happen...they will become totally adverse to the election system and not participate at all. Kind of like when people leave the Church after something bad happens and don't go back. Or they will become these sovereign citizen types, which is way worse. They will be looking for revolution/anarchy. These are the same people that follow Q online and believe it.

Not true. People following Q are patriots and non violent. Now those that follow Antifa, well, we have examples of their violent behavior. You need to recheck your facts because they are not facts.

My post explained why you don't get there through arbitrarily throwing tarrifs around, you become less efficient and lose market shard.
