Just saw that a hundred GOP reps signed a letter to President Trump. Traitors all of them, anyone that wants to keep the current system is an enemy of America.

Surprise, surprise, all of sudden there is a serious discussion about how the U.S. has been screwed on international trade for over fifty years. Fancy that? Go get ‘em Mr. (Common Sense) President Trump!

Absolutely correct and dead on.

When you think about the Globalist Republican Party is as big a threat to prosperity as the Democrats.

Look how simple it was when just one man smoked out hundreds and even thousands of traitors to the American voter.

Hooray for president Trump

Exactly. What could the other guys do that’s more retaliatory than what they already do? He’s not starting a trade war; there’s been an asymmetric one for decades in which the US just chose not to fight back.

Is there a list of the signatories? I know Lyin’ Ryan will be there, what other quislings signed?

Hmmm. Well, for starters, China could stop or buy less of our treasury debt, meaning higher interest rates which the FED has already promised.

In any event I would like to once again buy more stuff manufactured in the US.

Yeah, I wasn’t actually being literal and saying there was nothing retaliatory that could be done, but rather that in a climate where everyone craps on the US and the US does nothing, then the US has a lot more room to go negative than the others do.

” We have the lowest tariffs in the world, we have the lowest non-tariff barriers, we are the free-tradingest nation in the world.”

“And what do we get for that?”

Say it over and over and over and over until all the dumbass free-traitors shut up.

No one will be winning if food prices go up, not all us have Wilbur Ross’ kind of money.

And again, by operation, U.S. tariffs will force higher prices on those items upon which U.S. tariffs are imposed. Like shooting yourself in the foot.

So-called “trade wars” consist of one country shooting itself in the foot because the other shot itself in the foot. Insanity.

Answer? DON’T shoot yourself in the foot because the other guy did. Let the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers in the open supply and demand of marketplace free from government interference work it out and do what it does best: CREATE WEALTH.

In the meantime, get rid of the CAUSE that cripples our cost-effective, superior America products: government meddling and interference which CREATES POVERTY.
