Well…just sitting here waiting for cocktail time and thought I’d do a shorty on idiot boy’s trade war that he started yesterday….after the 730 point drop yesterday and the 450 point drop today, it puts the stock market in negative territory for the year and that makes it the worst two weeks in the past ten years…and the question I have for all of the morons who voted for this idiot is: “how’s that working for your 401K? Had enough winning yet?” The carnage appears like it is going to continue Monday, too, with futures down another 2% which will mean another 7-800 point drop and means a close to 10% drop in the money you were counting on to retire in just the past week….such a great businessman, so much winning…I hope all of you morons go broke….will serve your ignorant asses right….impeach….

Dupes and dopes…
Well…not ready to work out yet so I thought I’d come back here to do another one of these while it’s still fresh in my head….with all of the crowing that the idiot trump and his minions did about the the tax cut scam, and how it would be a huge benefit for the workers in this country…with the increase in tariffs on steel and aluminum, the dupes and dopes who voted this idiot in (along with the Russians) are going to see any increase in their pay checks offset completely by the rise in costs from the tariffs. How is this not a tax increase on working people? Idiot boy and his minions have no clue how tariffs work…he really does think that the countries selling us steel and aluminum are going to send the US a check for the tariffs and that is just not how it works….and the job losses that were estimated yesterday at 146,000 have now been revised to over a million jobs…yep, the “greatest job creator” is going to be personally responsible for putting over a million US workers out of work….how’s that tax cut working for you now, trump voters? How’s that “make America great again” working for you? You know, I usually have empathy for people who lose their jobs since I went through that crap, but the willfully ignorant trump voters really deserve to share in the pain they’ve foisted on the rest of us and I have no sympathy for any of them…impeach….
Trade stupidity…
Well….as you probably already know, the idiot trump has proposed, in a fit of absolute ignorant stupidity, to put tariffs on all of the steel and aluminum that is imported into this country. As you can already guess, countries across the world have said they will match the tariffs on any exported American finished goods, raw materials, and food…setting the lie to the idiot trump’s assertion that “trade wars are easy to win”. In the fact based community who have studied the effects of tariffs on trade for decades, the fact is that these tariffs that trump says will “save” American jobs are projected to cost the US 146,000 jobs in the first two years and will crush the farm belt that stupidly voted for trump by curtailing exports of food that these farmers depend on to stay in business. In trying to hurt China with tariffs on the steel they export to the US, idiot boy forgot to think of the fact that 60% of the soybeans produced in this country are exported to China…and China is already looking for other sources than the US since, with the idiot in the WH, they can’t depend on us as a trading partner anymore…just as Mexico did when they stopped buying American corn and made trade deals with Argentina and other South American countries when trump started to try to dismantle NAFTA and attacked Mexico relentlessly for a reason that only exists in trump’s fevered brain. What do you think about your hero now, farmers? Voting for a game show host gets you game show governance and you wanted this by a large margin…maybe you won’t be so stupid next time…nope, stupidity runs deep in trump country….geez….
