No sweat. Il Douche will just fabricate some BS about a “great deal” with China and morons will believe it, thus restoring, um…what was the question again?
Hail to the hippity push-button world,The jolliest roger we ever unfurled,With buttons to summnon whatever we need,With buttons for giving and buttons for greed.and buttons for mackerel and buttons for codAnd buttons for loving and buttons for God,Maybe buttons for thinking and dying will sendA finger for pushing the button for END.

Time for a test boys and girls. Which branch of government is responsible for setting taxes, tariffs and other duties? The legislative.
So why does Mr. Trump (and every other modern president) have the ability to set tariffs? Because the legislative branch is both cowardly and slow to act.
So why did the Founding Fathers give that power to the legislative branch and not the executive? Because they were afraid that a man like Mr. Trump might become president.
You conservatives say you want the strict, Jeffersonian interpretation of the Constitution. But apparently that’s not really true, is it?
Speaking of suckers… After a bailout and a big corporate tax break from Trump, GM gave us all the shaft just like any self-respecting international conglomerate would. Don’t you just love unrestrained capitalism?

Don’t tell me you’re Tired Of Winning?
Or is it dawning on Trump Disciples that tariffs are taxes?

The Rump admitted that he doesn’t care about the ballooning deficit because he’s not going to be in office long enough for it to affect himself.

I’m surprised there’s not a goose in there. Because you know our proverbial goose is going to be cooked.

Trump (or most gop), “I put a cup of water in the microwave, hit popcorn, and when it dinged, all I had was hot water.”
