BIGUN 1,486 #26 February 21, 2017 SkyDekkerQuoteHere's what else I like about Trump. He pledged the high import taxes as part of his campaign... yet, earlier this week he met with some of America's largest retail chains and listened to their concerns about the impact that would have on the economy. If he stays the course, he's a bad guy, if he listened and changes part of that campaign promise; people will say he reneged on a campaign promise. How would a successful and brilliant businessman like Trump not know that high import taxes would hurt the retail industry? I don't know... Might not have discussed it with Harper.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So... what you like about Trump is that his entire campaign was based on fairytale promises and wild exaggerations of his own knowledge and ability, and now that he has to face the real world no-one has a clue what he's going to do? Oh BTW, import taxes was plan B on paying for the wall. Any idea what plan C is?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh BTW, import taxes was plan B on paying for the wall. Any idea what plan C is? That might have more to do with Senate leader Graham: http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/320306-graham-ryan-tax-plan-wont-get-10-votes-in-the-senate A 'walked back" view of where all the trade promises of trump is headed: http://thehill.com/policy/finance/320187-angst-in-gop-over-trumps-trade-agenda So that leaves China and trade. trump started off with a two china policy. Then China showed trump a new Mandarin version of "The China Art of the Deal" and " zhilaohu – “paper tiger”. http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toi-edit-page/trumps-soothing-balm-volatile-us-president-backs-away-from-confronting-china-and-makes-it-up-to-japan/ The above article offers a widespread view of trump(in Asia) and what is now his degree of resoluteness. When it concerns promises, threats and how to negotiate. In the entire Asian area trump is viewed as a paper tiger. The absolute silence on North Korea's recent missile test further proof of that. trump and Abe made one joint statement, then nothing. I guess he was busy whipping up the base again.

This website is owned by a South African company and I believe hosted on servers in Canada, at least it used to be. You don't want or like opinions from people outside the US don't go looking on an international forum. Didn't think that would be too hard to figure out, but then Americans keep surprising lately.

The servers used to be located in Vancouver. But I just now checked the IP address on some geo-location sites, and to my surprise they are telling me it in now in Switzerland."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
