Re: In Blow to Trump, America’s Trade Deficit in Goods Hits Record $891 Billion

So what do you want us to do about it NOW?? Whining and complaining about the issue now is doing nothing but playing into the hands of the radical left who loves chaos and constant complaints

Well.. how about.. gee.. batman... trying to hold the CURRENT government responsible for its actions? How about calling your senators and congressman and telling them to rebuke Trump on his end run around the constitution by declaring a national emergency that does not exist?

This is a huge mistake and will set precedent when there is a democrat president and they declare a national emergency from the next mass shooting etc.

How about holding the CURRENT government for the budget deficit. And demanding that Congress increase taxes back to the prior level which will maintain the same level of growth.. AND help balance the budget?

How about holding the CURRENT government accountable for a trade war that is not working?

How about holding the CURRENT government accountable.. TRUMP for outlawing bump stocks and making thousands of americans criminals if they do not destroy or turn in previously legal property?

That's what a real conservative would do.

Now.. we know you .. aren't a real conservative... as evidenced by your support of trump regardless of his failures. All at once now "but.. but.. Hillary"...

 

[Conservative]

Hmmm..as we just determined.. the trade war is not benefiting anyone in the US... now.. those countries that are NOW supplying into what used to be supplied by the US? They are benefitting.'



That's right.. and neither did the democrat candidate... so your question has no validity.

We can only deal with the president that we have.. and right now.... its obvious that the trade war has only hurt americans.. and has NOT reduced the trade deficit.. which is the reason that Trump claimed he was doing the trade war in the first place.

Then vote Trump out of office in 2020, stop whining now!! Don't see the results that the trade war as you call it is hurting Americans as the official results don't support your claims but regardless, election in 2020

Re: In Blow to Trump, America’s Trade Deficit in Goods Hits Record $891 Billion

Yawn.... when do you so called conservatives... start holding the current government responsible instead of excusing the current government because of the past presidents?

I do hold the current administration responsible, but when the libs want to pounce on Trump over trivial BS, I point out the real failures of the guy they so supported. Comparing past presidents has been going on from the beginning of our country. That is a common event every day, we learn from the past, and we pick apart the past presidents from every angle, that is also what historians do. The web is full of comparisons by pundits as is the media. What I posted, if you want to take issue with any of the failures speak up. But there is no way out of Obama not being compared to every past president including the current president. FYI the libs for 8yr based Bush.

Sorry that is your opinion, the courts will decide what Trump is doing is constitutional or not. Most will disagree with you.

This is a huge mistake and will set precedent when there is a democrat president and they declare a national emergency from the next mass shooting etc.

Opinion that is baseless.

How about holding the CURRENT government for the budget deficit. And demanding that Congress increase taxes back to the prior level which will maintain the same level of growth.. AND help balance the budget?

Another opinion that is baseless

How about holding the CURRENT government accountable for a trade war that is not working?

From your statement you are OK with China having tariffs on their goods and you're OK with China stealing our intellectual capital. You are against Trump taking on NAFTA who Mexico and Canada has been ripping us off on tariffs.

How about holding the CURRENT government accountable.. TRUMP for outlawing bump stocks and making thousands of americans criminals if they do not destroy or turn in previously legal property?

Hopefully that would prevent the Dems from declaring a national emergency for the next mass shooting.

You have to post up some facts on that comment.

Now.. we know you .. aren't a real conservative... as evidenced by your support of trump regardless of his failures. All at once now "but.. but.. Hillary"...

Post up Trumps failures I want to see them.

Stop whining? Sorry but my "whining"..is what holds trump honest. IF he wants to win in 2020.. and he wants republicans like me to support him.. and other republicans..then they better start governing with some common sense.. and not this hyperpartisan .. BS.

You act like the President and Congress.. are emperor and lords.. and they cannot be questioned once in office. That we the people should just lay down and take whatever the lords and emperor think is good for us..

Don't see the results that the trade war as you call it is hurting Americans as the official results don't support your claims but regardless, election in 2020

The results are that its officially hurting americans.

Boston Fed: "Also, three manufacturing firms faced higher input prices due to tariffs on Chinese goods and services that were not readily substitutable, and the firms expected to pass on (or had already passed on) to consumers at least some of the tariff burdens."
Philadelphia Fed: "Other firms reported difficulty meeting the prices of foreign competitors who are not exposed to tariffs on the primary input commodities of their products."
Cleveland Fed: "The majority of contacts attributed at least some of these increases to import tariffs. One trucking contact noted that prices for pallet jacks, tires, and packaging material were higher because of the tariffs."
Chicago Fed: "Contacts reported a notable drop in Chinese purchases of US soybeans following an increase in Chinese tariffs."
Dallas Fed: "Among manufacturers, roughly 60 percent of contacts said the tariffs announced and/or implemented this year have resulted in increased input costs. The share was even higher among retailers, at 70 percent."
In addition to the Fed's survey, Markit's purchasing manager index released Wednesday reported the largest jump in input cost inflation since September 2013, due in large part to the tariff costs.

But we know what your response will be from actual data..

"but but but… Hillary,.. OBama.. leftist fake news".

One. I do more to make changes everyday than you even think about. I actively lobby.

The only one whining here is you... "but but but Hillary.. but but Obama"... just more of your BS whining about OBama and Hillary when Trump is the actual president.

Every time you make excuses for Trump with "but but Hillary"..thats just you whining.

Whats funny is that often what you consider "trivial BS"... like the deficit... were things that in the past you hammered OBama about.

And Hillary.

Now deficts don't matter.

Nor ties with foreign powers that have attacked our election system..the basis for our freedom

Nor even sexual indiscretions..

None of that matter now that trump is president.

How many years of the Starr investigation? And what? The president lying about a sexual act.

Two years of a mueller investigation.. tons of indictments, guilty pleas.. ..and "its a witch hunt"...

Please...

Re: In Blow to Trump, America’s Trade Deficit in Goods Hits Record $891 Billion

Whats funny is that often what you consider "trivial BS"... like the deficit... were things that in the past you hammered OBama about.

Obama blew out the national debt by doubling it by 10 trillion in just 8yrs, and not one liberal said a word. Trump has been in office for two yrs and lets see where he ends up compared to your beloved Obama.

And Hillary.

Crooked Hillary was never president, she was too stupid to be president

Now deficts don't matter.

Sure they do, but there is 6 yrs left to compare.

Nor ties with foreign powers that have attacked our election system..the basis for our freedom

Where is the collusion with Russia? Yes that is a question.

Nor even sexual indiscretions..

The worst president was Clinton for sexual indiscretions, he was ****ing all his conquests in front of Hillary and his daughter. Then he was accused of Rape, and then he used a 20 yr old intern to give him blowjobs in the oval office.

None of that matter now that trump is president.

Sure it does but Clinton taught us that sexual indiscretions really don't mean much.

How many years of the Starr investigation? And what? The president lying about a sexual act.

Thanks for reminding me. Yes he did lie to Congress under oath, and he pointed his finger at the American people "I did not have sexual contact with that woman" Big ass lie

Two years of a mueller investigation.. tons of indictments, guilty pleas.. ..and "its a witch hunt"...

And none of that involves Trump, Period. And yes when it comes to Trump/Russia collusion it was a witch hunt. Trump/Russia collusion was the main issue for Mueller to investigate and he did not find any Trump/Russia collusion.

Please, you sure need more than you got

Well.. they may disagree..because their opinion is not based on logic;.. but whether they like trump or not. If Obama was to have done the same thing.. they would have gone ballistic.

My opinion is based on the constitution and the separation of powers.

Opinion that is baseless.

IF.. by "baseless".. you mean that its based on WHAT DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMEN SAID A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT COULD DO.

From your statement you are OK with China having tariffs on their goods and you're OK with China stealing our intellectual capita

Yawn... must you lie when you lose an argument? I have in no way said any such thing..or even implied it.

The trade war removes neither of those things and in fact in ways makes them worse.

You are against Trump taking on NAFTA who Mexico and Canada has been ripping us off on tariffs.

Yawn... again the lies on your part. However, you need to look at the trump deal with mexico and Canada... it is basically NAFTA with a few changes... some of which help American workers...some of which don't.

H

Hopefully that would prevent the Dems from declaring a national emergency for the next mass shooting.

WTF... how? How does trump outlawing bump stocks and making citizens criminals if they don't turn those bump stock in or disable them... prevent democrats from doing anything.

IF anything.. its going to help democrats declare a national emergency and go after guns... while they say... "SEE... even Trump believed in bans"...

The Trump administration on Tuesday issued a new rule banning bump stocks, the attachments that enable semiautomatic rifles to fire in sustained, rapid bursts and that a gunman used to massacre 58 people and wound hundreds of others at a Las Vegas concert in October 2017.
he new regulation, which had been expected, would ban the sale or possession of the devices under a new interpretation of existing law. Americans who own bump stocks would have 90 days to destroy their devices or to turn them in to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The Justice Department said A.T.F. would post destruction instructions on its website.

Post up Trumps failures I want to see them.

Wow.. well I don't have that much time but here are a few of them:

Before he was sworn in, President Trump made a bold promise: The as-yet-unreleased Obamacare repeal and replacement plan would have “insurance for everybody.”
“We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.”

"On October 12, 2017, President Trump stopped reimbursing insurers who waived deductibles and copayments for 6 million low-income customers. He blamed Congress for not appropriating the funds to cover these ACA subsidies. A study showed that the subsidy allowed insurance companies to cover 3.2 million people. They would, in turn, provide enough revenue to lower premiums for everyone by 20-40 percent.

Once Trump stopped the reimbursements, insurance companies said they must raise customers' premiums by 20 percent. To keep them in the exchanges, states had to approve the rate increases. For example, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Virginia approved a 25 percent rate increase."

I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall."

Ummm… trump has shutdown the government and his latest budget calls for taxpayers to fund his wall.

Next:

Trumps trade war is hurting American companies and the trade deficit is growing larger..as the OP shows.

NEXT: north Korea

The problem is that "his best"..is mostly hurting America. And that's just fact..
\
From budget deficit increases
To trade wars that are ineffective and hurting America
To banning previously legal gun accessories
To declaring a national emergency unconstitutionally.

I will probably be running for office in the near future...

AND trumps results do speak volumes... they speak to his monumental failure to understand even basic economics.. world history, immigration, or even basic decency.

And no..its NOT better than he inherited. That's the facts.. the economy is on basically the same track that it was before Trump.

We know have a greater deficit.
Trump has banned bump stocks and taken freedom away from law abiding citizens
He has declared an emergency to do an end run around the constitution.
World leaders are laughing their ass off about America and are turning to other countries like China and Russia for leadership...
America's situation gets worse every time Trump shoots his mouth off.

As you state that is your opinion and will be decided by the SC.

IF.. by "baseless".. you mean that its based on WHAT DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMEN SAID A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT COULD DO.

It means you have no basses of fact.

The trade war removes neither of those things and in fact in ways makes them worse.

Another baseless opinion. Trump has renegotiated NAFTA and Canada was screaming all the way. And he has taken on the EU, with positive results, along with NATO making them pay up their fair share, now NATO by adding billions to defence they are stronger now than ever. But along with the tariff problem with China, Trump has taken them on for stealing our intellectual capital, which I take your against.

WTF... how? How does trump outlawing bump stocks and making citizens criminals if they don't turn those bump stock in or disable them... prevent democrats from doing anything.

Bump stocks were going away no matter what. They were doomed. By outlawing bump stocks could prevent another mass shooting. In which there would not be Democrat president that would issue an emergency as you claimed.

IF anything.. its going to help democrats declare a national emergency and go after guns... while they say... "SEE... even Trump believed in bans"...

The Dems have it in their DNA to rid this country of guns, can't stop them from trying. But the people are not even close to approving that BS

"On October 12, 2017, President Trump stopped reimbursing insurers who waived deductibles and copayments for 6 million low-income customers. He blamed Congress for not appropriating the funds to cover these ACA subsidies. A study showed that the subsidy allowed insurance companies to cover 3.2 million people. They would, in turn, provide enough revenue to lower premiums for everyone by 20-40 percent.

Congress does not appropriate funds for a lot of things, Congress turned down the money for Trump's wall.

Once Trump stopped the reimbursements, insurance companies said they must raise customers' premiums by 20 percent. To keep them in the exchanges, states had to approve the rate increases. For example, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Virginia approved a 25 percent rate increase."

Lets see the government was supposed to subsidize Obamacare. NO and Trump also took the mandate away from Obamacare.

Ummm… trump has shutdown the government and his latest budget calls for taxpayers to fund his wall.

Yeah, so what? Christ the Dems have shut down the government themselves. Bitch at them.

Trumps trade war is hurting American companies and the trade deficit is growing larger..as the OP shows.

So your for letting China do as they please no matter what they do. Along with stealing our intellectual capital?

NEXT: north Korea

And tell me what Obama did to pull in NK from their Nuk program. Not a fuking thing, Obama stuck his head in the sand and said NK can build all the nuks it wants. And when Clinton tried to do something, he gave Billions to NK and they laughed all the way to the bank. You have to be proud of Obama and Clinton for their failures.

Re: In Blow to Trump, America’s Trade Deficit in Goods Hits Record $891 Billion

Born free, Trump amended NAFTA but it is essentially the same. His purpose was to Tweet a success.

The Obamacare mandate is what keeps rates down, as young and healthy people become part of the pool.
