Im not making anything harder than it needs to be. No reasonable president makes comments about Canada being the 51st state, trolling or not. You saying the dems would do it though? C’mon. And trump knowing that Canada would vote blue? I don’t believe so.

Bro,
You might just want to let Don Quixote over there just keep on tilting windmills.
Are you mad because egg prices have had a significant drop recently?
How mad were you when the market under Biden dropped 20%? DJIA on 10/31/2021 was 36, 290, then on 9/25/2022 it has dropped to 28,771. Of course, by the time Trump took office it had risen to over 44,000. So why are you unwilling to wait until Trump leaves office before pronouncing his economic strategies a failure, especially when his first term had great successes until Covid crashed everything? Of course, things did have a quick recovery from that pandemic.
You realize that Trump has only been in office for 4% of his entire term, don't you? Does that not matter to you? Do you also leave a Coug or Seahawk game after the opposition runs back the opening kickoff, just making the immediate conclusion that the entire game is lost?
Of course he knows that. If you and I know that, the guy that won 2 elections as an outsider after being outspent by factors of 2-3 certainly understands that as well. I get that you don't like him, maybe hate or detest him is the proper term, but he certainly has a good understanding of voting patterns.
Hey, I detest Nancy Pelosi, but I do recognize that she has a good grasp of politics and how to work the system.
We’ve been through this. Steel prices under Biden hit almost double what they are today.
You’re free to look it up.

Hey dumbasski, I dont need to look it up. I can look at my own receipts and checkbook. That is more proof than you’ll ever have.
Best you just bow out of this one, Biggy.
Facts are facts and right now, steel prices are just off 5 year lows after peaking, substantially higher in 2022. Anyone can look this up.
Perhaps you should have gotten a second bid if your Lowe’s patio project was coming in higher than you budgeted.
You aren’t the Steel Market, Biggs.
Next time hedge it with your Robinhood account if $1,200 is too big of a risk to bear.
It’s best you stfu on this one uberstupid. I dont work in construction you f’ing idiot. I buy steel by the ton monthly. So fck off.
OK. You know that Trump is done after this term.
I've mentioned this in the various posts, the USMCA is in a time period where amendments may be proposed. July 1, 2026 is the deadline for all three countries to consent in writing to extension past 2036. So, I think this does have a purpose.
Outside of the market. Yeah I get it, biggy. and you’re on here crying Trump cost you $1,200 bucks. Sure.
Maybe when Canada turns off the electricity you can point and laugh at those Americans too.
If Canada feels the need to turn off the electricity they should but, they won’t.
You should really listen to the Prime Minister of Canada from England explain it to you.
It’s in the link.

I wouldnt waste my time with the fake news you link.
And Canada would make more $$$ just raising the electricity tax higher and higher until trump breaks. Wanna see the gop lose house seats? Make those districts pay three times as much for electricity for trump’s derangement tariffs.
You will cheer for those Americans to lose their $$$.
Hey....they found a website that counters what you said...so you're wrong. Nana Nana Boo Boo, stick your head in doo doo. (This is as close as I can get to MAGA logic)
Or 54% of his two terms…of which has so far been a shitshow and a global embarrassment. Can’t wait to see what the final 46% brings!
maga is the dumbest of Americans. Your example is spot on.
The chart actually does a great job of showing why Trump has great instincts but is still an idiot at the same time.
When it comes to tariffs, only Australia and Canada have lower tariffs on average than the US. That said, most of the countries on the list are below 10% when it comes to tariffs. If this was about competitive balance, it makes sense for the US to be upping our tariffs to match what other countries are doing. Instead, our orange leader is randomly throwing out 20%, 25% and even 200% tariffs as he flails around like a spoiled child not getting his way. Because he is a spoiled child instead of a steady leader, it makes sense for the other countries to retaliate with higher tariffs and bans too.
And, by the way, we have "Buy American" provisions in our government contracts, so let's not pretend that we don't do the same thing that other countries do.
What would you know....just like when a Pre-Magat in 2016 told me the mortgage meltdown was due to the community reinvestment act of 1975...where they wanted more brown and black people to be able to buy homes.
Must be the same website and radio Ubergullible subscribes to....
Let’s not forget corporate welfare in the form of subsidies to the tune of over 100B/year through grants, loans and tax breaks; farm subsidies, oil, coal and natural gas, broadband, aviation ( Boeing is a major one). And on and on.
What is DOGE doing to address this state sponsored corruption? Government subsidies have to be factored in when we talk about tipping the scales in foreign trade. China too has heavily subsidized industries such as the EV industry which is why we can’t buy their cars in the United States.
One time illegal alien Elon Musk ( he came to Palo Alto in 1995 as a graduate student under a J-1 student visa however he never enrolled in classes at Stanford and went to work illegally instead) and his companies have been the beneficiary of over $38 Billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits over the past 2 decades, including 6.3 Billion in 2024. Why does the world’s richest man and his companies need to benefit from corporate welfare?
We the people is over. trump sold it. It is now we the billionaires. These billionaires are laughing at maga for how easy they are to fool. None of these billionaires give a damn about maga.
To be fair the system has long been corrupted and both parties are to blame (but one has clearly been worse and at least the Dems have made some attempts to maintain some guardrails) but over the past few decades we have been sinking to new lows and yeah, Trump is now just blowing the doors off the illusion. The corruption of our Supreme Court by the power elite has certainly been an accelerant ( Citizens United for starters).
The punchline of this joke is the people here who actually think they are “part of the club”
Fair? Why be fair? Why concede anything to a cult that won’t concede anything themselves?
Well I would have after watching Shawn deeds play, or the other cast of characters that would try and replace Mike Pattinson.
Stretch....point me to the direction where a trade war in the US has worked? Show me actually where sanctions have worked against Russia, or North Korea? Or even Iran.
Different culture, our guys, up until now, have been voted out if the economy fails.
Also, Trump says he fixes stuff, and grocery inflation would drop immediately, and we will see these tariffs make us richer than we have ever dreamed.
You know when in the mid 80's my tranny blew in my Scirocco....and the repairman said 7 days...that was my expectation. If he said two weeks and finished in 13 days I would have been happy. Tell me a week and it is 21 days, over selling and under delivering. But that is his story.
He is a BS artist who inherited his wealth, pissed it away twice and daddy bailed him out, then filed BK 6 times. This is the genius you want running our economy? Never pays anyone...well he paid the cement workers....they got 100% of their money...wonder why....
I am always amazed at the level people go to defend this criminal. But I no longer think about what has happened...I simply wonder what is the point you jump off the train. It isn't sex scandals. It is libel for rape, or groping Ms America contestants. Not popping in a tic tac.
Not calling insurrectionists to the Capitol. It is not calling in the National guard to clean things up. It isn't abandoning our allies. Kt isn't calling Canada our 51st state, starting trade wars with our allies. It isn't abandoning NATO, or sucking Vladmirs Putin.
It isn't disobeying a a Federal judge. And in 2028 it won't be when he runs for a third term against Obama, gets his ass kicked but there were problems with the voting machines and Hegseth calls in the National Guard and confiscates the voting machines in swing states. Hugo Chavez controls Dominion....
What is your jumping off point?
I truly believe, he could suck a trillion dollars out of the economy with help of Elon, and we would say...well its in crypto, can we really prove it?
I could easily see about seven or 8 people on this board having daughter's or niece's and their daughter or niece tell their dad's or uncles that Trump molested them and they would say....'do we have footage? Are you sure it was him? Yes, that ring video looks like him but look at what he has done for the border. Besides, his flaccid unit is golden so you got Trumped by royalty.
You had a Scirocco in the mid 80's? So did I! Loved that car. Little pocket rocket, 5 speed manual. Had electrical issues though, so I dumped it way too cheap.
Well it as supposed to be a five speed....Three and 1/2. And when they called me up two weeks late to pick it up, I get to the shop, "you didn't already pick it up? Well an employee decided to take it for the weekend. So I get it on a Tuesday when he is done joy riding it. I get to the shop, have to be at the field for a softball game so I am changing in my car....
The car is on empty, no big deal but he took off my locking cap and put on another locking cap in which I did not have the key.
So the Trump Admin in my mind is run by the repair shop owner and the mechanic who took it for a joy ride....
Made it to third base in one once, but didn’t own the car. Didn’t buy that cow either.
The president of the United States and his wife have crypto currency tokens. How many does China or Saudi Arabia have to buy to get things done? How many has Putin bought to get Ukraine arms cut off?
We the people has been sold by trump.
