Despite protests to the contrary, are we sure DJT and the car aren’t Russian operatives?  They sure act like it.

The sad thing is if they just did nothing and Trump just golfed, the economy would have been fine.  This is an economic 9/11.

Trump would find himself falling out of a high window if he just golfed and didn't try to sabotage the United States. 

The governor of California is going to call Trump’s bluff by ignoring the federal tariff and negotiate directly with other countries on tariffs. Seems like a decent strategy considering that the Trump tariffs are entirely dependent on the claim that the national debt has created a national emergency that gives the president the power to levy tariffs. In other words, the White House is likely violating the law and California is going to respond in kind.

It’s nice to see these ridiculous labor lawsuits stopped. Social media use r u kidding me? “I want to be able to go on FB on company time!!” Unbelievable. And the other one organizing a movement AGAINST her employer! The one who took a chance hiring her. So pathetic and lazy and we have all seen these types of employees that’s for sure. 

So you're a fan of corruption? Because that's what this sounds like.

Voters in the U.S. aren't going to care what Apple's fine turns out to be in the EU. They thought Trump might produce a better economy with lower prices and more job opportunities but that's not turning out to be the case. It's just the usual "austerity for thee but not for me" nonsense of the billionaire class. 

Lol. It's been two whole months. this stuff takes a while and is on the right track. But it looks like the abusive governments are forced to take a breather from attacking successful American companies. that's only a good thing. 

That's the point though: voters are already disgruntled about the direction of the economy in a very short period of time. Trump had to pull his nominee for the UN because of concerns about losing that seat in the House of Representatives. Trump didn't campaign on the "no pain, no gain" stuff that the GOP is trying to sell now. People have enough financial/economic pain already.
