    Sure you can focus on the minutia and leftist hair pulling articles on crumbs, armageddon, and trade war nonsense if you'd like.

    The rest of us will just keep pointing at the reality of America's economic prosperity as we continue to shred Obama policies.

    There is an easy solution to all this illegal alien drama and that is: Secure the border. Case closed.

    Securing the border is not in any way “easy”.

    Correction: it’s not easy without resorting to Nazi/Soviet tactics and murdering/maiming lots of unarmed civilians.

    I see you've turned your flying gib into the wind and are now tracking onto some other nonsense.

    To answer your ridiculous question: no. The economic prospects for ALL americans are improving. Obviously.

    Unless you are a farmer who uses equipment built with steel...or work as a solar panel fitted for a company that bought inported panels...or any of hundreds other professions screwed over by Trump’s tariffs.

    Zig zag harder it's not working.

    The farmers know and support Trump's actions, because they understand the big picture of how agriculture in this country has been the second worst impacted job category over the last 20 years.

    And raising their costs and crippling their ability to afford new equipment, while simultaneously getting hit with retaliatory tariffs on agricultural goods, will definitely help stop the hemorrhaging of farm jobs, right?

    Are you saying none of what I talked about in my post is happening to US farmers?

    No it isn't, nor does it. The wall can be breached or overcome the instant BP is no longer monitoring it. There is no replacement for 'boots on the ground.'

    A wall works wherever it's been tried. Leftists insist otherwise though. I wonder why?

    I'm saying that they know the truth, and the leftist nonsense isn't going to work.

    Except I can point you to any number of articles about Trump supporters who have been ****ed over by his tariffs having buyers remorse.

    Since most of the tariffs are still what-if scenarios or have been in place for like 2 weeks.

    Little early for the-sky-is-falling/it's armageddon routine.

    We've seen it from the left every day for the last two years.

    All you have right now is unsupportable nonsense.

    The steel tariffs have been affecting the market for long enough to stop farmers from buying new equipment or expanding their operations.

    How many links would you like?

    Or will you admit that you will disregard any evidence presented because your argument is faith based?

    Yes please give us details of the incredible damage that has been done in the last 2 weeks.

    We only keep enough steel on hand for like 3 hours.

    It doesn’t matter how much is kept on hand. It’s a traded commodity. It’s price is affected by stock speculation.

    It's an item.

    If we aren't getting enough from foreign sources then I guess we'll have more american steel workers going back to work.

    More of that winning right there. Get used to it.

    Putting steel workers back to work and opening up new steel mills is a long term solution. What happens when farmers and other workers negatively affected by the tariffs are losing their livelihood in the short term?

    No, it's not. The Granite City steel mill has already re-opened it's doors.

    No one has lost their livelihood in the last two weeks.

    Just more leftist face clawing, hair pulling nonsense.

    The Granite City mill never shutdown. It just partially idled its production. And its production isn't enough to account for all foreign steel that is off the US market.
