Children in middle school behave better. The New KKK Ladies are reaching out to their base. Don’t they get the fact that their base lost it for them in the election? I say let them continue to play the fool; it only works in our favor.

“Where can I watch it now? I missed it all.”

I’m in the same fix. We came home from vacation so ill that we were in bed by 8 p.m. and didn’t even have enough wits about us to set up the Genie to record. I could kick myself six ways to Sunday for forgetting!!

Can’t find a replay listed on any C-span schedule, but I’m sure it will turn up somewhere.

Trump has never said bigly. He always says big league. You can hear the “g” sound. Plus, he wrote “big league” out a couple of times in his 1997 book, The Art of the Comeback.

Hey dummskopf (”dsf”?), America doesn’t pay tariffs other countries levy. The other county’s consumers pay for the tariffs the other country levies.

Thanks.

Share with your conservative relatives and friends.

Then use it like a Louisville 42” Slugger bat with the racist dems you know.

“Currently, when we ship products out of America, many other countries make us pay very high tariffs and taxes — but when foreign companies ship their products into America, we charge them almost nothing.”

Do you really think he meant that Americans literally pay the tariffs?

It’s what he said. Very misleading. He has consistently said that and has never explained that he means something other than America paying for tariffs levied by foreign countries. The unaware are simply taken in. He also flatly says that Mexico will pay for our tariffs. Both are misleading statements and he should know better.

I love Trump but this is his weakest area both in presentation and in concept.

We are all well aware that an import tariff will raise prices. We want that, we need that. That is the small down side to protectionism. The upside is huge . As industry repatriates back to the USA unemployment will go down, construction spending will go up, depressed communities will get a second chance and the tax burden will go down. It's all good.

Don't listen to the worm tongued scare tactics of the Free Traitors™.

Of course we will pay the tariff and industry will repatriate forcing the prices back to equilibrium. That is how it works. That is the whole point. Also tariffs generate tons of revenue which can be used as a foil against those Democrats that say income tax cuts have to be paid for. Well there is your method to pay for it right there.

If he told the actual truth about this is would go something like this...

“Currently, when we ship products out of America, many other countries make their own people pay very high tariffs and taxes — but when foreign companies ship their products into America, we charge our consumers almost nothing.”

But of course, that would reveal the stupidity of the whole thing.

Trump is the Chosen One.

The one this nation has been waiting for since Washington. A man capable of breaking down the barriers . A man capable of putting the American people first .

The Dummycrats are finished . They are a shell of a party pandering to an ever smaller minority.

I’ll be bold - there is no reason why Trump cannot win 65% of the vote . I also think he’ll win the black vote an Latino vote

I guarantee you he will, just to poke fun at the other side and a little bit of poking fun at himself, at least once in the next 8 years.

Dude is hilarious when he does an imitation of himself.

A little later he said:

“At our meeting, I asked them, how are you doing, how is business? They said that it’s good. I asked them further how they are doing with other countries, mainly international sales. They told me — without even complaining because they have been mistreated for so long that they have become used to it — that it is very hard to do business with other countries because they tax our goods at such a high rate. They said that in one case another country taxed their motorcycles at 100 percent.”

I think he presumes we know those countries pay the tarrif, not us.
