Wall Street is somehow managing to p*ss of the voting bases in both parties. They will soon face a Hobson’s Choice of siding with Trump or facing the Wrath of Lizzie Warren.

There is a great line from The Caine Mutiny.......

Yeah, well, those days are really gone. Like, when Van Johnson puts his hand on a Bible and pledges to report Fred MacMurray for any future rebellious talk. I haven't seen the Bible portrayed in any positive way in Hollyweird cinema in a long time.

Negotiations are all about one side trying their best to get the best deal and employing tactics like the Chinese did when they wanted to revisit in writing changed they had already signed off on previously.

They hoped Trump was like other gutless pols who simply wanted that signed piece of paper no matter the real costs. They by now know Trump is not a Republican or a Democrat but is handling these negotiations like businessman, and a very good one at that.

Yep. I can tell you from ground zero, the part of Pennsylvania which Trump won big enough to flip the state and, by extension, the election that he won because people, blue collar union types, were voting against free traitor republicans first and globalist democrats second.

Indeed it put a crimp in the kickback deals.

Because THEIR methods that they have been using for decades (bluster and then fold like a cheap suit) have been working SO GOOD!

Days after a group of Republican senators relayed to Trump at a White House meeting their concerns about trade tensions with Canada, Mexico, Europe and China, Trump over the weekend threatened new tariffs on China

"Please, Mr. President, be weak again! We're tired of winning! We, who know better than you, do not believe in standing up for our country!"
