Excellent to see the media is still allowing this guy to say that we had a bad trade deal while ignoring that the bad trade deal he’s talking about is the one he created and signed during his first term.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

The best deals.
He's purposely trying to take money out of Americans pockets. If people are poor and struggling to provide their own basic necessities, how are they supposed to fight back against his fascist regime?
Also how are the tariffs supposed to ”usher in a new golden age” if nobody can afford to buy imported goods?
Got to take everyone’s money to make them desperate enough to go work the fields and replace the lost workforce we are deporting.
And this is only the beginning. Trump delays surely allowed smarter people than him some precious time to think the next move. Canada and Mexico will hit back hard, with accuracy. The higher social classes across the three countries are gonna be affected too. What friends do the USA have left? Not Europe, not North America, certainly not Russia. USA, Israel, and Argentina, I guess, for now. And the latter is crumbling fast since the $LIBRA scandal.
the only thing Russia wants from America, is for America to get out of the way, and in that regard. Russia has gotten almost everything it wanted. The only steps left is for both the US to leave NATO, and for NATO to disband entirely, or otherwise remove Britain and France from the rest of the security strategy.
Russia is an old country, in that it still thinks in terms of Empire of the 1700s. They are a dying country and the only way they can remain relevant is by having half of europe enslaved. they're pretty much screwed regardless now because they're militarily spent, but even so they will still try to attain that goal by nuclear threats and by regulatory capture of other countries by way of corrupt gangster politicians like Fico and Orban.
Russia couldnt care less what America does once its out of the way, whether its following them behind like a pathetic Mini-Me, or if they eviscerate themselves in a civil war, Russian Fascists would gladly shoot American Fascists in the back of the head given the chance.
Yeah, I don't feel animosity against Russia or Russians as you do, but they certainly could manage better without the USA snooping around, which was my point.
Rises in the stock market are caused by Republicans, falls and crashes are always the fault of the Democrats...
Uff people downvoting an obvious ironic remark. I'm worried about the lack of ability to detect irony and sarcasm in comments. To be fair, some people drop this type of comment as a statement, but still...
The "/s" mark is a problem. As a sarcastic, marking your sarcasms doesn't feel right. I think it is another consequence of the karma system, i.e. people put the mark so people don't downvote them for not understanding that we think alike about something. I tell you guys, all of you, just ditch the voting system, don't be a captive of judgment of your ideas!
No it's just a symptom of plain text. Nobody can see your face or hear your inflection to know if you're sarcastic or just stupid.
Well, it may be like this too, now that you mention it. But the voting system remains a factor in the sense it steers subsequent opinions on the desired sarcastic effect. Imagine a comment one first reader reads as stupid and can't figure out the sarcasm, then downvotes; after that, a second reader comes and the previous downvote reassures the "just stupid" comment interpretation. It's probably easy to have a cascading effect from the first votes.
The /s is like a laughing track: It tells the dumb people where to laugh. But I have to admit that it has become hard to differentiate between satire and sarkasm on one side and real news on the other side, especially with anything around Trump.
'/s' far predates karma and upvote systems
You are probably right, but what matters is the effect it has in the voting system.
Maybe the downvoters are Trumpists and don't like their dumb textbook answers being stolen!
- so far
