    LoL I was a left leaning Independent for life until all this fake ass black people being killed at a high rate by police and whites started. I still lean left on certain things and right on others. More Democrats are waking up to the bullshit of the left. The Democrat party used to be for the working man. Now it's all about identity politics and bullshit.

    @Jarrett75

     You have no clue what you are..right/left???

    I use to be for this but now I'm for that and tomorrow who knows. It all depends on what is good for Jarrett, right?

    When you don't stand for something people like you fall for anything.

    @thirdperson

     Great job catching Jarrett stroking Detox on an article that was 3 years old & proving it to be a disaster & another broken promise. There are article after article of Trump's failure in the China trade war & he didn't bring jobs back to America. Instead we lost 3.1 million jobs.

    These peckerheads attack you because you expose the bullshit they try to peddle & when challenged, they crawl back under their respective rocks.

    “Two years ago, President Donald Trump signed what he called
    a ‘historical trade deal’ with China,” Bown wrote on the the
    Peterson Institute’s website. “Today the only undisputed
    ‘historical’ aspect of that agreement is its total FAILURE!

    Was the trade war worth it for U.S. exporters?
    The answer so far is no.”

These peckerheads attack you because you expose the bullshit they try to peddle & when challenged, they crawl back under their respective rocks.

    Median household incomes rose to their highest level ever in 2019, while the poverty rate hit an all-time low. Under the Trump Administration, more Americans were employed than ever before—160 million—and the unemployment rate fell to a 50-year low.

    The American public isn’t dumb enough to fall for Democrats attempt at rewriting history. Democrat shutdowns and Covid were the reason for the bad numbers at the end of Trumps term.

    Trump’s trade war was a total flop

     

    YAHOO FINANCE -


    Donald Trump, the American president from 2017 to 2021, said he knew more about trade than most economists and foreign-policy experts. “Trade wars are good, and easy to win,” Trump famously declared in 2018. He described himself as a “Tariff Man” and proved it by imposing new tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. imports, to be paid by the American firms buying those goods.

    Trump’s dubious logic was that making imports costlier to Americans would hurt the foreign sellers and give him leverage he could use to demand concessions. His biggest target, of course, was China. Trump added new tariffs on about $450 billion worth of U.S. imports from China, while China, predictably, retaliated with similar penalties on U.S. imports. The escalation rattled financial markets in 2018 and 2019 and ultimately led to the “Phase One” trade deal between the two countries, signed on Jan. 15, 2020. Under that deal, China would sharply increase its purchases of U.S. goods as a precondition for Trump (or his successor) removing the new tariffs and getting back to normal.

    an_light New trade data for 2021 shows that China came nowhere near fulfilling its commitments in the 2020 phase one deal, with U.S. exporters ending up worse off than they would have been had Trump done nothing on trade.

    YAHOO FINANCE - article continues...
    Analysis of trade data by Chad Bown of the Peterson Institute for International Economics found that during the first two years covered by the trade deal—2020 and 2021—China purchased just 57% of what it had committed to in the trade deal. China said it would buy at least $502 billion of U.S. goods during those two years. Yet total purchases added up to just $289 billion.

    ... That's a net loss of business for American companies. And it doesn’t include nearly $30 billion in U.S. taxpayer funds Trump doled out to farmers to compensate them for lost sales to China from 2018 through 2020.

    It's unfortunate but it ended up hurting American agricultural businesses and cost the taxpayer plenty.

    No way to spin this as a positive from his supporters.

    What did he plan to do with these documents? Who has he shared these with?

    What do these documents contain?

    The conservative dominated Supreme Court
    officially ends Trump's recent legal fight
    to block document turnover to January 6 probe
    into his criminal conduct

     

    (CNN) The Supreme Court said on Tuesday that it will not take up former President Donald Trump's case challenging the disclosure of his White House documents to the House January 6 investigation, a formal conclusion to his unsuccessful bid to keep those records secret.

    The court had previously rejected Trump's emergency request to block the National Archives from turning over the materials while the court considered whether to take up the case.

    The documents Trump was trying to block in court are already in the hands of the House Select Committee investigating his criminal conduct from January 6.


    Tuesday's order -- which included no further explanation of why the court was not taking up the case -- means that the lower court decisions approving the release of the documents will stand.  an_clap

    Individual 1 said at his Nuremberg rally in Texas last month that he would consider granting pardons to the 1/6 insurrectionists if he is reelected President.With all the money he has raised since Joe Biden showing him to the woodshed, Why not pay there legal fees ? Better yet Newsmax & Fox could run a Telethon with the Trump family taking turns as-master of ceremonies for 24hrs Ala Jerry Lewis !

    The former President often accuses his enemies falsely of treason,
    but his own giddy rush to side with a foreign dictator who is proving
    to be an enemy of the United States and the West is truly shocking
    even by Trump's self-serving standards.

         As President Joe Biden reprises the fabled presidential role of
    leading the free world, the predecessor who wants to succeed him
    (the twice-impeached ex-president who tried to illegally overthrow
    the U.S. government, Donald Trump) is showing Putin that
    impunity, dictator-coddling and hero worship will return
    *if* he wins back the White House.

    sovereign Ukraine as "an act of genius."

     The former President often accuses his enemies falsely of treason,
    but his own giddy rush to side with a foreign dictator who is proving
    to be an enemy of the United States and the West is truly shocking
    even by Trump's self-serving standards.

         As President Joe Biden reprises the fabled presidential role of
    leading the free world, the predecessor who wants to succeed him
    (the twice-impeached ex-president who tried to illegally overthrow
    the U.S. government, Donald Trump) is showing Putin that
    impunity, dictator-coddling and hero worship will return
    *if* he wins back the White House.

     

    ( Hint, hint:  "Russia, if you're listening . . ." )

     

          Trump also sent an unmistakable message to Republicans,
    who are already playing into Putin's hands by branding the
    current President as weak, that siding with a US foe is the way 
    into the ex-President's affections ahead of this year's midterm primaries.

    Trump didn't take long to make sure Putin knew he approved
    of his movement of troops into parts of eastern Ukraine, knowing
    that his comments would be picked up and beamed around the world.
