Why do you think that economic gdp ranking and political power ranking is so important.? ‘We’re No. 28! And Dropping!’ A measure of social progress finds that the quality of life has dropped in America over the last decade, even as it has risen almost everywhere else. Second link(above) is to the ranking of US by economists.

Aircraft (Airbus) and Ag products are the main US exports to China. China exports to US. America’s biggest competitor really isn’t China

Many trump supporters are dead now. Suicide of farmers: U.S. farm bankruptcies hit an eight-year high: court data His brilliant leadership: Elderly Trump voters dying of coronavirus could cost him in November trump's beloved industry...er his supporters industry: Swallowed by Opioids’? A New Look at Appalachian ‘Deaths of Despair’

Facts, facts,facts. Never penetrate the consciousness of trump supporters. Instead its lie... repeat lie, lie... repeat lie, lie... repeat lie. lie becomes fact.

Without toxic dumping of metals, poisons, etc. how can America compete with the socialism in the EU.

We all know trump apologists never tie themselves into pretzels in attempts to understand something, understand facts. They turn on FOX so they can learn how to think.

Because FOX keeps talking B.S. about his accomplishments but they are so hard to find. trump did appoint more conservative judges, mostly because McConnell had been blocking Obama's appointments. trump did throw out almost every environmental constraint on coal and oil. trump blocked every effort at gun reform. He increased military spending. AFAIK thats it. Here’s a report card on whether the president met his 2016 campaign pledges. All of which were broken, failures, lies, take your pick-undone. He has killed 112,000 Americans and will likely have killed a quarter million personally by the time he's out of office Jan 20th. “I will build a great, great wall on our southern border …” “… and I will have Mexico pay for that wall.” “We will find them [all undocumented immigrants], we will get them out.” “We will also be a country of law and order. … The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon, and I mean very soon, come to an end. Beginning on Jan. 20 of 2017, safety will be restored.” “The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.” “We’re going to work with all of our students who are drowning in debt to take the pressure off these young people.” “We will repeal and replace disastrous Obamacare.” “You’re going to have great health care at a much lower price. It will cost the United States nothing.” “I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.” “It is time to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. This is why I’m proposing a package of ethics reforms to make our government honest once again.” “We will honor the American people with the truth, and nothing else.” “We will build the roads, highways, bridges, tunnels, airports and the railways of tomorrow.” “We’re going to cut taxes for the middle class. … We will ensure that the benefits are focused on the middle class, the working men and women, not the highest-income earners.” “We’ve got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt. … I could do it fairly quickly … over a period of eight years.” “We will end our chronic trade deficits.” “We are going to defeat the barbarians of ISIS.” “We want to create peace between Israel and the Palestinians. We will get it done.” “Nobody will be pushing us around.”

He's in a big fight with a FOX news reporter that confirmed the story as well. Imagine FOX turning on trump!

North Korea has more than doubled its number of nuclear weapons while Kim played trump as as fool. They went from an estimated dozen to about 40. Two years after Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, Tehran has cut in half the time it would need to produce enough weapons-grade fuel for a nuclear bomb. For the Mullahs, Kim, Xi and Putin trump has been the best.

General John Kelly was with trump when the remarks were made. trump can call upon General Kelly to deny them. Oh! Trump says Kelly may have been source for bombshell Atlantic article I guess loyal US Marines won't lie for the president. Trump trashes ex-Chief of Staff John Kelly, says he ‘didn’t do a good job’

Lawyers love that s*#t.

POW, The Lincoln Project yesterday.

A president named trump.

Having a bad day?

Good thought but unlike trump Xi likely received full intelligence briefings on every aspect of trump's personality. Xi likely spent the first couple minutes praising trump's good looks, intelligence, education and business acumen. So lying his face off. The Chinese intelligence unit probably had crib notes on trump's books Donald Trump’s Ghostwriter Tells All. “The Art of the Deal” made America see Trump as a charmer with an unfailing knack for business. Tony Schwartz helped create that myth—and regrets it. 'Willful Ignorance.' Inside President Trump's Troubled Intelligence Briefings. Time February 5, 2019 "The briefers’ concerns are spread across multiple areas of expertise. Two briefers worry that a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping could produce a trade agreement that the President can trumpet but that fails to address China’s espionage, its theft of intellectual property that ranges from circuit boards to soybean hybrids, its military buildup, and its geopolitical ambition.". So the worries of the best and greatest intelligence services in the world, America's. Were borne to be true because of trump's wilful ignorance and stupidity.

"The National Rifle Association’s former second-in-command is breaking with the group’s orthodoxy and calling for universal background checks and so-called red flag laws in a new book assailing the organization as more focused on money and internal intrigue than the Second Amendment, while thwarting constructive dialogue on gun violence... He describes the N.R.A.’s longtime chief executive, Wayne LaPierre, as a woefully inept manager, but also a skilled lobbyist with a deft touch at directing President Trump to support the group’s objectives, and who repeatedly reeled in the president’s flirtations with even modest gun control measures. The book, “Inside the N.R.A.: A Tell-All Account of Corruption, Greed, and Paranoia Within the Most Powerful Political Group in America,” is to be published next week, the latest public calamity for an organization that has faced years of headlines detailing allegations of corruption, infighting and even its infiltration by a Russian agent."

Yesterday trump encouraged North Carolina voters to vote twice. Just another day in America where the mob boss instructs his soldato base from the WH.

In 2016 trump accused China of "raping" the US on the issue of trade. Well Xi is laughing about it now because after four years the US-China deficit has widened by $600 million. Despite his claimed victories, his tariffs on US importers and his "trade deal". Last year the deficit to China was $345 billion dollars. President XI played America as fools."during the 2016 campaign, Mr Trump pledged to negotiate better trade deals for US workers and asked voters to use the size of the deficit as a “scorecard”. "China's trade surplus widened sharply to USD 62.33 billion in July 2020 from USD 44.02 billion in the same month the previous year and far above market expectations of USD 42.0 billion. Exports rose by 7.2 percent, the fastest pace since December last year, while imports unexpectedly fell by 1.4 percent. The country's trade surplus with the United States widened to USD 32.46 billion in July from USD 29.41 billion in June." "Robert Lighthizer, US trade representative, last week struck an optimistic tone on the implementation of the phase one trade deal following a call with Liu He, his Chinese counterpart. But the deal is showing signs of weakness. Eight months on, China is on track to miss the targets in the agreement, which said that over two years from 2020, China would buy $200bn more in US goods and services than it did in 2017, before the start of the trade war. According to the Peterson Institute for International Economics, US exports to China of the products covered by the commitments amounted to $48.5bn, compared with a prorated year-to-date target of $100.7bn." So China expanded its surplus over America under trump. trump bragged about his "Phase One Deal" and China is only honored it by a half. That agreement means that instead of expanding US imports. CHINA EXPANDED EXPORTS. All of the structural issues of patent infringement, theft of intellectual property and barriers to US companies entering China markets. Have been abandoned by trump and his negotiators. 1 in 5 corporations say China has stolen their IP within the last year: CNBC CFO survey

I can see Turtle and other trump apologists writing the inspiration for the American revolution. "Its better to bear the yoke of injustice, of British Laws and oppression. Laws, dumpsters and business must be protected."

Surprising that it took two days.

Meanwhile Canada's Chief medical Officer has suggested that Canadians keep their doors open, but avoid facial contact.

Slimeball trumpites: "Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on Wednesday that she was "set up" by a San Francisco hair salon that said it could accommodate her for an indoor appointment Monday despite citywide restrictions on salon services. Pelosi said that she was told by eSalon that it was allowed to have one customer at a time inside its establishment. But salons in San Francisco have been closed since the coronavirus pandemic began and only allowed to begin providing services outdoors on Tuesday under the city's guidelines. "I take responsibility for trusting the word of a neighborhood salon that I've been to over the years many times, and that when they said that we're able to accommodate people one person at a time and that we could set up that time, I trusted that. As it turns out, it was a set up. So I take responsibility for falling for the set up," Pelosi said at a press conference in San Francisco."

You know I'm not replying to airdvr. Its all about the FOX spin that Murdoch's lackeys use to spread disinformation. There is Putin,the trump clan of misfits and "Salon owner Erica Kious, in a phone interview with Fox News on Tuesday, shared details of Pelosi’s visit. Kious explained she has independent stylists working for her who rent chairs in her salon." So even though the independent contractor accepted the job as she represented the local ordinances to be(Saturday). The Salon owner knowing in advance what was to take place(Sunday), allowed the supposed violation of ordinance to proceed(on Monday), All while she played the victim of a customer, Mrs. Pelosi. Then she feigns outrage just like FOX and airdv did by posting this b.s. as newsworthy. Then the lackeys of trump turn the story around as if hypocrisy is involved. The independent contractor and the owner had a full day in advance of the visit to address the law. To deny Mrs. Pelosi any service that was not permitted by statute. What, did Pelosi pull a Glock and demand the wash? Let alone cameras were ready to document Pelosi's "crimes".

“The speaker always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements. This business offered for the speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed by the city to have one customer at a time in the business. The speaker complied with the rules as presented to her by this establishment.” Further reading on this story. RNC convention last week with the President also W/O mask.
