    "I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat -- I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty," Trump said.

    "A total lack of knowledge" is synonymous with stupidity.

    You are shamelessly spreading falsehoods about me.

    Sorry to disappoint you but tarrifs have not had the effect on consumers the left tried to scare us with. Prices have remained stable and our economy is humming along as China's goes down the tubes just as Trump planned and predicted.

    I caught you red handed in an act of defamation and you just double down.
    Stupid and uninformed are not synonymous, and you and every fair minded person here knows it.

    Two lies in one clause.

    If you ever wonder whether the internet is a filthy sewer, look no further than this man's mendacious postings.

    Not being taken advantage of = making a fool of oneself

    Liberal logic.

    Sorry to disappoint you but farmers, who are both consumers and producers, have seen their soybean sales plummet. Their economy sucks and the infant in the White House hasn't even planned or predicted which tie to wear.

    Farmers are being subsidized for they're losses with tarrif money and our economy is doing quite nicely as China's is in a tailspin. We are winning this war and China will be forced to change their ways.

    Trump wants to isolate everybody from everybody. Divisive beyond belief!

    His absolute incompetence would not allow him to see that countries working together can all benefit more than each working separately.

    He only conceives of winners if there are losers. It's no wonder that he's such a failure managing businesses.

    Here is the next episode of making a fool of himself:

    "my only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi,"

    Seriously? The Fed chairman he appointed himself is a bigger enemy than the Chinese president?

    If he doesn't like Powell's actions, maybe he should have sat down with him and discussed his opinions of the Fed's role BEFORE nominating him.

    If you can't read, there is nothing I can do to help you. Besides, this thread is not about tariffs. It is about Trump making a fool of himself.

    Which, of course, is why you want to talk about Trump's trade war with China. 8)

    Trump is getting old and senile I think, he is used to getting his way when he threatens to break things or sue and it's just not working for him as President and he doesn't know what else to do

    It is called the zero sum game. There is a winner and there is a loser. That is how Trump thinks. In his mind, there can be no negotiations where both sides benefit.

    That is one of the reasons why Trump is the most incompetent President in modern American history. It is also why his base loves him. Incredibly, they like the idea of a winner and a loser.

    Trump made complete sense when talking with the media. If it seemed crazy to an observer, the problem is with the observer lacking a rational and logical mind.

    The tariff money is coming from Americans, not China. Trump is lying, hoping people like you will believe him. American importers, manufacturers, and/or consumers are paying those tariffs.

    Uh-oh, here we go again. After some minor gains and some minor losses, the Dow is down over 515 points and the Nasdaq is off, too, over 200 points.

    Currently the Dow stands at 25,730. That is 20 points higher than we were five months ago when Trump started his trade war with China.

    "Our economy is doing quite nicely as China's is in a tailspin." You are nearly as talented as Trump. In one sentence you lied twice. Obviously our economy is not doing well, and China's GDP is three times ours.

    Your problem is, your source of information is Trump.

    I clearly do not understand Trump supporters. Is it an intelligence issue?

    "Payroll tax is something that we think about and a lot of people would like to see that, and that very much affects the workers of our country," Trump said.

    Regarding the payroll tax, Trump says he is "not looking to do anything at this moment.".

    Trump insulted millions of American voters. He said that Jewish Americans who vote for the Democratic candidate are either stupid or disloyal.

    Trump wants Russia admitted to the G-7, making it the G-8 again despite Russia's aggression and her annexation of Crimea. Reminder: Putin wanted Trump as our next President.

    That made sense to you?

    You just proved everything I have ever said about Trumpets.

    If there is a slowdown in the economy, Trump's plan A is to deny that there is a financial slowdown. If that fails, plan B is to blame it on the Fed. And if that fails, plan C is to blame it on the Democrats.

    His core supporters will go along with plan A... even if it costs them their jobs.

    And that's the problem. It all makes sense within Trump's sense of "logic". The assumption that the Jewish people are a "race" that votes based on their "ethnicity" may sound racist to a sensible observer, but it's makes sense within Trump's frame of mind. Advocating for the country that attacked our election system to be re-admitted into the G-7 may sound like betrayal (bordering on treason) to an independent observer, but it makes sense if you have followed the news and have observed Trump acting as Putin's lackey throughout his whole administration. His "payroll tax" might seem demagoguery to those who have seen him again and again bring up a "tax cut" that would exclusively benefit the middle class while never moving a finger, but it's "deja vu" to anybody who knows that he's just a pathological liar.

    Bottom line, everything he said in that press conference is "normal". But only in the minds of those who have "normalized" the fact that we have an incompetent liar with no scruples for President.

    1) Lowering the payroll tax is always a good thing when accompanied with spending cuts.

    2) American Jews voting for a party that is openly anti-Semitic is illogical.

    3) Russia often does crazy/stupid stuff because it believes the West is hostile to it. They are historically paranoid, occasionally for good reason. Getting them involved may not be a bad thing. Although my feelings won’t be hurt if they’re left out.

    You mean stuff like this. In terms of making a fool of himself, Trump surpassed himself today. You don't want me to read this.

    Trump did it again. This is surreal.

    President Donald Trump appears to have sent the stock market into a dive with a few flicks of his fingers, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged over 200 points in just five minutes following a series of unhinged tweets attacking China and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

    At 10:57 Friday morning, Trump posted a tweet in which he asked “who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?”

    Then two minutes later, Trump posted a series of tweets ranting against China in which he said, among other things, that “We don’t need China and, frankly, would be far better off without them,” and that American companies are “hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China.”

    We are reminded that Putin wanted this man to become our President. No doubt, Putin is quite happy with his choice.

    Judging by his attempt to "order" US businesses to no longer deal with China, he's trying to out-stupid himself today. If he makes an announcement today, he'll probably make a bigger fool out of himself than the last time.

    Tariffs have had no effect on consumer prices. China itself along with corporations and importers have been absorbing the cost.
