Just yesterday I read a story somewhere about how the market is being floated by assurances that Trump won't let this trade war with China get too hot so close to an election year. 

A few hours later Trump announces plans for huge punitive tariffs on Mexico for some unspeficied time (as the golas are unrealistic) and the markets drop.

Anyone else remember the time when Republicans criticized Obama for injecting "uncertainty" into the markets?

And BTW, I still am convinced that Trump doesn't know what Tariffs are.  He seems to think this is solely a punishment of Mexico, like they are the ones who directly pay the tariffs, and is unaware that it is American companies and consumers that end up paying.

"Until Mexico ends illegal immigration over the southern border, I will make American Consumers pay more for goods and American Businesses pay more for the products they need to run their business!"

Our "President" is a moron.

Name never covered during visit.

Sailors with name of ship on hats getting time off for this reason was a MYTH.

And Trump had no knowledge - nor was the name of the ship covered at any time during his visit.

Game, set, match.

Someone on the staff thought this would be a good idea and no one said no until it was actually  done. Cooler heads prevailed after someone screamed “WHAT THE FUCK?”

The fact it was attempted on someone’s own initiative should scare the piss out of anyone who isn’t pining for a Fourth Reich.

How do you know that Trump had no knowledge?

I heard your claim.

But you're also the person who claimed Trump never denied Russian involvement in the election, among other fatuous statements.

Whether or not Trump knew of these preparations beforehand, he isn’t absolved of them.  You can’t cry “scoreboard” when the “President’s” own staff apparently view him as a small vindictive child who is easily provoked.   And of course there is the not small matter that instead of criticizing these actions, Trump said they were “well intentioned.”

I pointed this out yesterday to Child Carter, to no avail.  Like his hero, he cannot admit a mistake.

Isn't it funny how often Trumpists are left with the "He's not evil, just stupid" defense?

Nancy Pelosi
I’m disappointed --  and I really need your help.
 
I've always been able to count on our grassroots Democrats.
 
After President Trump hurled personal attacks against me, I was sure I'd see a surge of support.
 
But even after his attacks, and after Republicans raked in $26 MILLION last month, my team is floundering.
 
Republicans are claiming victory, mark -- and their cash haul could completely wipe out our chances to fight back.
 
That's why I'm asking for your help.
 
I still need 36,OOO gifts in the door before the End of Month Deadline hits in 48 hours.
 
Can I count on you for $1?
 Nancee can't get support for her open door agenda even against the Donald. E-mailing everyone.

I know you were trying to have your really dumb idea gain entry into the conversation. It was apprehended at the border. It is being kept in a cage under an overpass until it dies or until we can figure out what the hell is going on. If you self-deport, we will make every effort to see you reunited with your really dumb idea.

Try a complete sentence, Kiiid. That pair of words makes no sense without more explanation.

(With more explanation it is probably false, but I cannot be sure, yet.)

He means, as he always does, that Trump doesn't deny Russian involvement, but does deny that Putin had any knowledge of such ops (i.e. that said ops were rogue ops and took no direction from Vlad).  When that starts being a convincing argument, seek immediate medical assistance.
