Trump reportedly said he wants to stop German luxury car imports in the US

Really well thought out plan. Germany will retaliate with additional tariffs on US goods and possibly start scaling back US production. Winning trade wars is easy!

BMW makes cars in Spartanburg SC. Employs 8,000 Americans
Mercedes makes cars in Alabama , Employs 4,000 Americans
VW Makes cars in Chatanooga TN, Employs 2,000
VW North America Headquarters in Virginia employs 8,000 Americans
Porsche NA Headquarters in Atlanta employs 500...

And that isn't counting the tens if not hundreds of thousands of people who work in the dealerships that sell or service the cars, the companies that ship them, the suppliers who make the components or the restaurants and stores that serve the employees of the plants who will not have any disposable income anymore.

And for what? To try and convince people like me to buy a fucking Chevy?

I will push an old German car before I drive a brand new Chevy.



I can't wait until he picks the same fight with Japanese car makers.

Scrap NAFTA. Institute heavy duties on products from rust belt states. Set Lake Erie on fire again. Sign oil industry agreements with China. Buy the Pittsburgh Steelers and move them to LA. All out trade war time.

Does this mean the price of an Ontario fishing license is going to go up?

The #AmericaFirst agenda is stupid because it doesn't put America First. It simply doesn't understand how the modern economy works and chalks everything up to "bad deals."

We've done this before. Tariffs don't work. Trade wars aren't "easy to win." And reducing everything to binary wins/losses and good/bad deals will not improve our standing in the world or our economy.

NFL proposal was a bit kooky.

New idea: Trudeau pays NFL players to kneel during the anthem on the field. He'll give us Maine for that to stop.

I'm not so sure, being crude and vulgar =/= being racist.

/That said, it was a stupid thing to say and you can get your point across without stooping down to Roseanne Barr's level.

Okay, yeah, great. Got it. This is good. One question:

Who has a couch for me to crash on until I can get a job up there?

Well, not exactly. He is treating allies worse. Because Allies didn't give his daughter patents.

Great, now he's gonna build a wall on the northern border too.

He needs to call in Barry from Storage Wars to meet about it at the White House. Or Nicole Richie.

I think the time for traditional amounts of decorum are over. It was a terrible thing to say, but if it keeps the gong show busy and off balance she has my support.

Thanks to your aluminum tariffs all couches are being requisitioned so their innards can be used for keeping pizza in the fridge.
