Trump is learning a hard lesson - the US cannot exist isolated from a global economy.
First of all, you might be preaching to the choir here. Secondly, you have the most wonderfully annoying habit of, being optimistic, and basing all your opinions of other people's motivations, values, and what have you, across the entire spectrum of human ulterior motivations, on your own. Which sadly, I think is very honorable, but hopelessly naive.
(And here you were thinking what annoys me the most about you, was the fact very often, your opinions are polar opposites of mine). I honestly believe if you take a closer look at human nature, at some time in the future our belief systems will meld.
Moving on, the point which I think is most salient about Trump's actions, and everyone has completely missed, is that Trump handed down tariffs on Chinese steel imports.Which in his, and many other people's minds, were destroying the US steel industry. (In reality only putting the final nails in its coffin).
So now, Trump gets to stand up and say how he's saving ZTE, and encouraging business deals which benefit both partners, is the way to move forward..
Is this the right issue to pivot on? Is this the context which most benefits the US? On both points, not really, and not likely.
At least congress, at the time, passed regulations that made it much harder for banks to screw their customers. Regulations, I might add, that the current congress is doing their best to undo.
You're assuming that I hold Trump in high esteem. Stop thinking for me, or at least provide me with the opportunity to challenge that belief which you've convinced yourself is mine.
So, do I think that Trump is anything other than an avaricious, egomaniacal douche bag, with paranoid delusions of godhood, and a touch of dementia stirred in to add to the unpredictability factor? No, not in a million years.
Is Hillary Clinton anything other than a dried up, incompetent hag, coat tailing her husband's enormous popularity by pandering to minorities with the unique purpose of allowing them the social entitlements necessary to enable them to afford, breeding the next generation of Democratic voters? En-Oh, "NO"!
In that context, Trump is the lesser of two evils, nothing more. Besides, he's trying so desperately to get himself impeached, which is enormously entertaining, to say the least.
But let's put that into context. Why doesn't anyone question the motivations of Trump's attackers? Say for instance, "poor Stormy Daniels". There's a woman who has committed every deviant sex act imaginable, at least a several dozen times over, and for a lot less money than she was given to, (ostensibly), shut up, about any involvement with "the Donald".
To that end, she's a thoroughly modern woman, an "instant victim", and a parasite of the lowest order. Her implants are heading south, she's borderline over the hill to be a "porn princess", and any one of a thousand Russian girls, are a whole lot better looking and more fun to watch. So, Trampy Daniels", is going to sue her way to retirement and out of the porn industry, aided and abetted by as many worthless millennial gossip mongers, trying to pass themselves off as "credible reporters", as will. listen to her garbage. Spare me.
In the meantime, all you Trump haters saddle up those magnificent white steeds, and take up the just cause of defending and restoring, "the ladies honor".
You once said that you endure presidents. Perhaps it is time to start looking through the smoke that all of them blow out their a$$es? Though I voted for him, there were quite a few things that Obama did that I thought were not the greatest of decisions.
That's funny. I voted for Obama, because John McCain didn't have much to offer in the way of campaign rhetoric beyond, "I was a POW".
So, my impression of Obama's election was this, white people voted for him from a logical and political standpoint.
The black commuity voted to Obama becau he was black. With pluralities ranging up to the 90th percentile.
Oddly, I think that level of allegiance could be considered "racist". But the mere act of a white person pointing out those documented facts out, would be met with a resolute denial on the part of African Americans, along with the counter accusation of racism on my part, for even mentioning it.
Now, if any of you think that North Korea and China haven't been in bed together since the Russians left, are still in bed together, and will forever be in bed together, I pity the woeful and witless vacuum you live in.
China wants North Korea to keep America busy, while they both carry on their end game.
China wants to loot Taiwan for its riches, while North Korea wants to loot the riches of South Korea to further their little mushroom headed sociopath of a dictator's nuclear ambitions.
Save for now, the end game is moving forward on the political and social fronts. Once Kim jon un gets enough popular support for the reunification of Korea, a movement will be created to , "cast the white devils out". and NK's million man army will seal the deal.
This began on the seemingly "innocent and historic" act of North Korea sending a delagation to the 2018 Olympics. To, "catch more flies with honey than vinegar", NK sent one of its most beautiful women to head up the delegation. And all the South Korean's marveled at her stunning beauty, I'm certain erstwhile thinking, "why she looks exactly like us".
