President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Looked to me like he sniffed out a trap question and is trying to avoid falling for it.
There are probably dozens, if not hundreds, of people who work at what I'm assuming is a large law firm. Kavanaugh looks like he's trying to connect the dots on who he might have even casually discussed the investigation with (perhaps even while discussing politics over lunch), and whether or not that person might work at that firm.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the op-ed was a team effort, throw in a little of this, a little of that - turns out its Murder on the Orient Express meets Naked Came the Stranger.

 

HELP!

 

Fascist halfwit.

 

Load star.

As Trump Doles Out Tariffs, the U.S. Trade Deficit Soars

On Wednesday, the Commerce Department provided Trump with a grim answer: In July, the U.S. trade deficit soared by 9.5 percent to $50.1 billion, putting America on pace for its largest annual gap in a decade. Meanwhile, in spite of Trump’s tariffs, our nation’s trade deficit with China swelled to a record $36.8 billion.

These numbers don’t just undermine Trump’s (largely irrational) goals for trade policy. They also suggest that GDP growth is likely to dip in the third quarter, despite Trump’s predictions to the contrary. Last quarter, the U.S. economy grew at a 4.1 percent annual rate, its strongest showing since 2014. The president promptly announced that this was only the beginning, as “we’re going to go a lot higher than these numbers” in the coming months.

 

I’m leaning this way as well. Several wrote it and then one did the handoff

 

She is good. That was great.
