President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Travis is a race-baiting huckster who will kiss up to the aggrieved white man any way he can to get clicks. This column is nothing more and nothing less than that.

 

Playing a frat bro must be difficult for somebody his age. Or, sadly, maybe it's not.

 

ALTERNATIVE FACTS!!!

Pence claims 'over half' of women's march were Trump supporters

 

Wouldn't that be bad for Trump if over a million of those attending a protest of him voted for him two months ago?

 

Big shock here. We are all shocked.

U.S. judge finds that Aetna misled the public about its reasons for quitting Obamacare

Also, court blocks merger with Humana, so threat didn't work.

 

"Oh, God. Another night of looking at his saggy ass and trying to avoid those tiny, creepy hands..."

 

Y'all may not remember this, but in the 1980s you couldn't by Japanese cars with "factory air." That was a dealer add-on. It was ridiculous in that the cars were already set up for it ... the dealer just plugged in a few easy-to-install components to go with what was already there.

 

Automobile countries of origin are even fuzzier. You could be buying a good ol' Chevy assembled in Mexico with parts made overseas, or a rice burner assembled in Tennessee with mostly American-made parts.

The broader point is tariffs don't punish foreign companies because they simply pass the cost to the consumer and maintain their profit margin. The consumer is the one punished.

 

I think, these days, Toyotas and Nissans are often more American than Chevys and Fords.

 

In a meeting with Congressional leaders today, Trump again stated that he lost the popular vote because 3-5 million illegal aliens voted for Clinton. He's delusional. Needless to say, none of the leaders, even the Democrats, said "Mr. President, that's a crock of shit." I predict legislation for a national ID card for nonwhites only -- cost to owner $500.
He's an evil fool being used by other evil men for evil ends. I repeat my conviction that citizens denied the right to vote have every moral justification for using deadly violence against that government.
PS: In fairness to said leaders, John Cornyn, who seems to have a light public touch for a Republican, said to reporters "I didn't anticipate that discussion." Senatorese for WTF.
