Well…damn, I can’t find the article where I read this earlier today so I’ll just have to wing it…as the title says, every respected mainstream economist predicted that “trade wars are easy to win” was one of the most boneheaded statements in the litany of boneheaded statements by the idiot in chief….the latest government assessment shows that idiot boy’s tariffs have resulted in just what good economists said it would…job losses in manufacturing and higher costs for basically everything for the American consumer…and this is compounded by the generational loss of agricultural markets across the world that have been destroyed by retaliation by the Chinese and their switch to south American markets for soybeans, corn, and other products. And now we have the moron in chief today opening his stupid hole to threaten even more tariffs that will do even more damage to the economy…but do we hear a peep from the repubs? Nope…and this truly shows the only people they give a damn about are the people who can write them million dollar checks for bribes…oh, I mean campaign contributions. I would say that I can’t believe how stupid these folks are on the economy but I have been watching the repubs do this stupid shit for decades now and they are never held to account…why would now be any different?

bye, bye, jobs….
Well…just getting ready to get back on the bike for the second ride of the day but thought I would comment on an article I just read a few minutes ago…the “jobs” president really is if you count jobs lost to his stupid trade war….already, the idiot has cost over 300,000 jobs across the US and the projections are that, by the election in 2020, there will be almost a million jobs lost in damn near every industry that are affected by stupids war…now, I know I harp on this a lot but, what would the repubs have said if it was Obama who did this? If it was Obama who staggered around showing his ignorance every damn day and hurting the country with everything that comes out of his moronic mouth? Here’s the thing, most of these jobs are probably lost by people who voted for the idiot and they still support him even after going broke…this is the very definition of a cult and these people need to be deprogrammed if they are ever going to be able to identify reality and be a part of society again….but, I’m not holding my breath….
The idiot trump is killing Ford…
Well…I really do hate to gloat when people are losing their jobs, okay…maybe it’s not gloating but just pointing out how badly the idiot trump sucks when trade is involved…every economist in the world has said that trump’s tariffs are just the most stupid thing he could have done, and that they would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions in corporate profits…and now those projections are coming true with the announcement from Ford that the tariffs have already cost them over a billion dollars in profit just in the 6 months since the tariffs were imposed, and today Ford announced that they are going to cut 24,000 jobs that are also a direct result of the tariffs…so now, how’s that MAGA bullshit working out for you Ford workers that voted for trump? This is just the first round of damage that has been done by trump and his idiot minions and it won’t be the last….Ford is warning that, unless the tariffs are rescinded, more and more cuts are going to happen that could imperil the company’s viability going forward…and if Ford fails, that’s over 350,000 jobs gone…350,000 good jobs that pay enough to live on…but that has been the repubs plan all along…they can’t have regular working people making enough money to live on…that means taking money away from the 1% and that is just not acceptable…impeach…
1,000 more jobs…gone…
Well…wasn’t going to come back for another one today but this little tidbit of news just came across my phone so I thought I’d do a short comment. It was announced this afternoon that at least 1,000 more jobs will be lost just in Illinois due to the idiot trump’s asinine tariffs….two companies are packing up and leaving for Mexico since the tariffs have made manufacturing here in the US unprofitable for both companies with the huge increases in raw material costs that they have seen. How’s that MAGA bullshit working for you now, trump voters? Yeah…I guess it’s not so smart putting an ignorant moron in charge of trade policy, huh? I feel absolutely no sympathy for any trump voter that still supports this moron after what he has done to this country since he was installed by Putin….impeach…
More jobs lost to trump’s tariffs…
Well…as every damn economist predicted, jobs are being lost because of trump’s idiotic tariffs….not bringing good paying jobs back to the US as the idiot claimed, but jobs in trump voting areas are going bye bye. The latest casualty is a company called Mid Continent…the second largest nail manufacturer in the US based in Poplar Bluff Missouri, who has had to raise their prices by 19% with the 25% tariff on the steel wire that they have to import since no one makes it here in the US anymore…and, with nails being a commodity product that is extremely price sensitive, a 19% increase just can’t be done if you expect to sell anything. I’ll bet many of the people who are losing their jobs at Mid Continent voted for the “great businessman” trump and believed his lies that he would protect American workers and jobs…how does that feel now, trump voters? More than half of the jobs in Poplar Bluff are at Mid Continent and when it closes around Labor Day, the waves will swamp many other companies that depend on the paychecks of these workers to keep their businesses afloat…I hate to see anyone lose their job but maybe these idiots will stop supporting the idiot in chief when they realize that he is a fraud who doesn’t give a damn about them….impeach…
Hey trump voters…475,000 jobs gone…
Well…with all of the stupidity coming from the idiot boy on trade, putting tariffs on our allies under the guise of “national security’…and that is just so damn moronic when Canada is included…what have they ever done? One of the things that is starting to be clear is the scope of the job losses…to protect about 25,000 jobs in the steel and aluminum sectors, economists have calculated that there will be job losses of almost 500,000 jobs across the economy….making for net job LOSSES of 475,000 from these idiotic tariffs. Trudeau of Canada even went so far as to say that he understands that this is not the American people talking but this idiotic administration…and he has talked to trump so he knows what he’s talking about. Now, trump voters, after your 12 dollar tax cut that you bought a new car with, what are you going to do when you lose your job to trump’s stupidity? He makes the best deals, believe him…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….
