I saw a meme I wish I had thought to save it as it describes Trump’s tariff corruption perfectly. On the left is a picture of Apple Corp’s logo, under which it said 0% Tariff. Next to it was a picture of a big red juicy apple under which was written 10% tariff.
When are you going to research the 'law of gamblers ruin' and stop this ridiculous tyranny against Trump. I bet you have always paid retail your whole life.
Concentrate, dinkem, try and stay on topic. What do you make of Trump tucking his tail between his legs and backing down from his tariffs not once but twice in less than 10 days? Do we have to wait for Bearcat to soak up the MAGA spin before we see a defense? Are you not capable?

Not true, I’ve cut way back from what I want to contribute. Making fun of the MAGA cult as it flubs around trying to spin DJT’s tariff cowardice is just too delicious to pass up.This chart shows Dan's posting activity since making the statement, "I have determined to cut back on how much I participate on this board".
But you’re right. I’ve probably got your blood pressure so high you won’t be able to sleep tonight. So I’ll sign off and give you a breather while you conjure up something - anything! - to defend your man. Is this the first time you’ve witnessed weakness in the man?
Did you write this yourself? God damn dude, I was mainly joking around at first about how retarded you are, but it’s getting too real now
You before tariffs; Orange man bad.
You with tariffs; Orange man bad
You with tariffs removed; Orange man bad.
Now tell me, who is flubbing around here?
HamasDan is a ****ing retard just like all the leftist retards present and past. He tries hard to make people think he is more intelligent than you are yet offers up nothing to prove it, just reeeeeeeeeeeee about this, whine about that, piss and moan about everything except Palestinians. Nothing but a Cvnt if you ask me. His schtick has gotten as stale as his wifes giney. Dust that thing off every now and then HezbollahDan, it might make you less of a grumpy cvntish prick.
You are eating up the leftist spin like a pig at the slop trough. Counteracting the globalist's trade giveaways was always going to be messy and ugly. No one thought these countries would gleefully give up their trade advantage or that they wouldn't put up a fight to try to keep their advantages. It was also expected Democrats, the MSM and the idiot portion of our country would cry, whine and throw their hissy fits. None of this was unexpected and it find it both sad and hilarious at the same time. Keep doing you Dan, you don't disappoint.
The words are different but the sentiment is exactly the same as when @my_2cents justified Biden’s messy retreat from Afghanistan. “We all knew it was going to have a down side.” It was ridiculed by you and me and others when 2cents tried to palm it off as the expected result of Biden’s retreat, and yet here you are today trying the same baloney for Trump’s humiliating withdrawal. Please tell me that is not how MAGA is going to spin this major defeat. Surely MAGA can come up with something better than the “Biden defense.”
If that makes sense in your mind, I've learned nothing will convince you otherwise but I do enjoy the stupidity of your thinking.
You maybe perfectly content with foreign countries raping and pillage our country with the current trade policies many of us are not. We think this is a fight worth having. Feel free to disagree.
Biden is not serving a second term. Biden was a failure. Trump is serving an overdue second term. Trump first term was a success. I recommend Rigged by Mollie Hemingway. Ms. Hemingway is one of our nation's leading investigative journalists.
The Dimms troted out a dismal substitute in Kumula for the failing Brandon to face Trump.
You’ve been conned, my friend, by a world class grifter and con man. And now that the reality of what Trump’s tariffs will do to our economy and the world economy has slapped you in the face, even though he has had to retreat like a coward that gets punched back for the first time in his life, you cling to the con like a completely manipulated cultist, not caring about reality, only caring that you stay devoted to your man. It’s at the point one can no longer say you’ve been conned. You’re conning yourself.
I've been conned, or those that have and do support foreign countries enjoying more than favorable trade with the US at the US's expense?
In the first place you’ve been conned into thinking you’ve been raped and pillaged all these decades by unfair trade practices (which have seen your wealth increase every year there has been a “trade deficit”), a raping and pillaging you were unaware of until a politician you worship brought it to your attention and convinced you the raping and pillaging you didn’t know was happening needed to stop immediately, and he is the man with the plan to stop it. And even though every economist worthy of the title told him what would happen if he implemented his plan he stuck by his advisor (who Elon Musk pointed out is as dumb as a bag of bricks) and implemented his cockamamie plan only to see it do exactly what competent economists said it would do. That’s bad enough, but what’s even worse is his cultists deny reality and cultishly stuck with their man. You are now in the enviable position of conning yourself.
Dan, you are such a pu$$y. The law of gamblers ruin states that to win big stakes poker you must begin the game with more money than the other players.
Trump has all the money and instead of playing cards he is negtiating, which you clearly don't understand. Have you ever, ever negotiated for something of value, big value? I bet you have put the toilet seat down your entire married life.
Trump knows what America needs ultimately thus he is in a giant set of negotiations. The reason I know you cannot negotiate is because you believe every time he changes terms for a country he is doing it to get what we want/need.
Why don't you just read 'The Art of the Deal' & STFU!
Be honest, Bearcat, with yourself if you can’t be with me. When did you first notice Canada was raping and pillaging you? What’s the island Trump has slapped tariffs on in spite of the fact only penguins live there? Were you incensed that the penguins were raping and pillaging you ten years ago? We both know you never once thought you were being raped or pillaged until DJT put the notion in your cultist head, so there’s no need for you to deny it. But for once be honest with yourself. You’ll be amazed at how free a little self honesty frees your mind to question where else the cult has indoctrinated you.
Again Dan, it is clear that not only have you never negotiated anything of value and I'm pretty sure plenty of folks have taken you to the cleaners in deals for many years. You don't understand but carry on as you do. It makes for great comedy on its own merit but especially in the sense that you don't have a clue of what your are spouting.
"The sheriff is near..." comes to mind. Deference to Mel Brooks
Too bad you've forgot the old adage of 'it's better to keep your mouth (fingers) shut (still) & be thought an idiot than to speak/type and prove it. You are so far beyond the pale that I actually print out some of your screed and post it in certain places. I would copy/paste it but I know how easy it is to find someones location electronically, so I reduce to paper.
Pleas keep it up, you have a pretty big fan base. (Not really)
I guess you were not paying attention back when NAFTA was being discussed. I hate to disappoint you Dan but some off us have had these issues for a long time. Trump is merely the first President that has the balls to do something about it.
One of the benefits of marrying a woman that has 9 brothers/sisters and their respective spouses, who are all very successful, is the diverse backgrounds they have. One brother in law was in the import export business for many years. Hearing his firsthand take on how screwed up the system was/is gives you whole different perspective than reading articles slanted to push an agenda one way or the other.
Why don’t you educate me, dinkem, since you seem to think you know what Trump is up to. Why did the collapse of the stock market make his knees knock, especially considering he and his advisors made it clear they didn’t give a fu_k what the stock market thought, these tariffs are for the man in the street, not the man on Wall Street. But the market blows up and suddenly what Wall Street thinks became important. Why did a conversation with the Apple CEO get Apple exempt? What’s the negotiating technique involved? Who else in the billionaire class is Trump going to exempt? Several big tech companies have already insisted “me too!” Where do the exemptions end? I for one would love for you to explain what the negotiating technique is. You indicate you know precisely. Why don’t you share some of your worldly wisdom with the rest of us? We’re waiting!
Sure, Bearcat, we all believe the tariff disparity has been at the top of your to-do list for a president since NAFTA. You’ve hated being raped and pillaged for decsdes!
Dan, it has been explained to you here 50+ times. You simply don't / cannot understand. Your ignorance is likely terminal. There are plenty of people on here that both understand it & have explained it to you multiple times. Since you cannot understand you respond with drivel damanding to "be told", or "explain me this Lucy".
If you had a brain in your head you would be a half-wit.
