@no1marauder saidNow that wins the Ridiculous Award for this week.
From that Wall Street Journal article:
"Earlier, administration officials said that the tariffs on China would encourage the manufacturing of electronics in the U.S. Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick last Sunday told CBS News that “great American workers” would build and operate new factories in the U.S. and an “army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in ...[text shortened]... nies are hustling to onshore their manufacturing in the United States as soon as possible.”
LMAO!
Why can no one in this administration just do their job? (Hint: Their job is not simply sucking up to Trump, yet that is somehow ALL they do.) If they want a primer on doing one's job, they should ask the hundreds of thousands of dedicated "great American" government workers they've fired.
Maybe we can get Lutnick or Leavitt one of those 'screw army' jobs.
@AverageJoe1 saidIt improves the planet, I thought that meant it was 'woke' to you.
? Recycllng began way way before you were born. Recycling evolved from the concept of 'litterbugs' probablly in the 50's. Woke, quite fleeting, disappearing after about 5 years, has nothing to do with recycling.
Why doesn't romania keep up ? The world passes them by.
@wildgrass saidRe read. I say found, yes but it takes a while, to publish, like the tariffs take a while to gel.
You say he has found it in one post and in the next you say I will soon see. Which is it? Where's the fraud he has found? One verifiable example ...
Certainly you remember Trump has always said let’s wait and see. Several of you want to happen the day after he was elected.
@wildgrass saidI too, would like to know the ins and outs of the reasoning of all this, but, and I hate to say it, I think Trump knows what he is doing. Once again, I say, wait and see.
If you try to make a laptop in the US, you have to import all the components at 125% tariffs.
Or you could make it in China and ship it here for free.
And this policy is supposed to bring back manufacturing???
@wildgrass saidLike I say, these things take time. Amazing how Joe was caught up in the sleaze. Never did talk to my son about business. Just like Clinton, I did not have sex with that woman Wolinsky. Y’all sure do turn up self-defeating comments.
Reminds me of hunters laptop. We were promised something on it would implicate some democrat in something bad. For a whole year, they were like "any day now".
@AverageJoe1 saidSo it's like a fairy tale that exists but you can't read it you just have to believe in it?

@wildgrass saidBut there is yet nothing for you to believe no facts to believe. My positive statements are born out of belief that Trump will prevail, you silly goose. I know no more than you do.
So it's like a fairy tale that exists but you can't read it you just have to believe in it?
We have to wait for the findings. Do you think for a SECOND that Musk DOGE will not find waste, foraud and or abuse?? Then you are faced with posting that AVOE was ON It!!!
Eidtor note: Hardly a fairy tale, it is going on. Sue knows the diff, maybe she will weigh in here.
@AverageJoe1 saidBut you never "state facts".
I stated a fact, and you respond by saying what you thought I thought? Geez.
@Suzianne saidThree clicks up, I did

@AverageJoe1 saidWord on the street is that china is playing games with trump, waiting for him to flinch again and again

He will flinch, because by starting trade wars with everyone at once he has no bargaining chips. US trade grinds to a halt, other trade goes on.
Even more ridiculous, apparently they forgot about enforcement of tariffs. There's no infrastructure to actually collect payments.

@wildgrass saidLMAO. The level of incompetence of the current US government are only matched by their lack of understanding international politics and macroeconomics.
Even more ridiculous, apparently they forgot about enforcement of tariffs. There's no infrastructure to actually collect payments.

@wildgrass saidYou simply state the obvious. Yes there is flinching and blinking involved in the world of negotiations. Playing chicken, even. Then you predict that the US. Will grind into a halt. You Actually say that the administration has forgot to look into the enforcement of the tariffs. I do not know if there is infrastructure to collect the terrorist, but they have been collecting them, so there must be something in place, that I would assume would be enhanced. So again you just state the obvious.
