For all his theatrics aimed at the MSM, Trump sure has made them a shiton of money while restoring their credibility at the same time. Well done mr prez. They are batting waaaay above the nonsense garbage these Internet wannabe outlets are batting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is potentially a huge problem. On the shooting war front, if we hear that Mattis is on the way out, then it's time to worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justafan Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Trump is still incredibly popular with the base. Most of the Republicans want him campaigning with them in the upcoming elections. It's why they buried the Russia investigation and refuse to criticize him even when he says and does things that are degrading to the office and profoundly stupid. Republicans aren't turning on Trump unless the base does. Unfortunately, the base cares more about being right and pissing off the left than they do about figuring out what's best to move the country forward so I don't see it. Dems are going to have to organize and vote him and all his cronies and all the spineless, gutless, pigs who supported him out of office. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

China retaliated yesterday with among other things a 25% tariff on pork imports. I wonder how the hog farmers who voted for Trump are feeling this AM? They imposed other tariffs as well.

Trump wants them to stop requiring US companies to transfer technology as a condition of doing business there. This is a carrot and stick negotiation.

Justafan Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Mattis will go with significant backlash. He’s well respected and popular. Firing him likely moves the needle more than all this other garbage combined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
