Would Americans pay more for goods made in America? They did an experiment where a company making shower heads, currently made overseas, located an American company to make the same shower head and put them both on their web site for sale. The foreign made shower head sold cost $129 the American made model sold for $239. Out of 3,500 visits to their web site no one bought the American made model. The beauty of the Trump tax is you will pay $400 for the same shower head because the American manufacture will raise their price to meet the cost of the shower head plus the Trump tax. At least you will be taking care of the poor billionaires who won't have to pay taxes.
Fool's gold is what Fox News called Trump's tariff plan. Trump can use his imagination and imagine anything, but reality is an MF and one day reality will collide with Trump's imagination and the results won't be pretty.
Just another "American made car," The Lincoln Nautilus is a good old American car, right? No, it is made in China and subject to the 145% Trump tariff. That car costs $77,132 the tariff will cost you another $111,835 for a total cost of $188,968. How many do you want to order today?
Trump is now threatening to remove a judge who refused to follow his order. The village idiot has it backwards the judges don't follow his orders, the village idiot must follow the judge's orders. Judges are the referee in the game. That would be like the referee in a pro game being required to follow the orders of one of the teams. In the book "How Democracy Die" tells you one of the fast ways to kill a Democracy is with executive orders. The village idiot has issued hundreds in only a few months, George Washington issued two. Executive orders take the lawful power away from congress. Trump is a dictator ruling by executive order.
The new trade deal with Briton is good for America but very bad for Americans, last year the average tariff on goods from Briton was 3.3% under the village idiot's deal we will have to pay 10% that is a 200% increase. The village idiot can't count and won't read.
Tesla shutting down their factory for a week it could not happen to a nicer bigot. It looks like the village idiot is responsible for closing more factories. Chylar has shut down 7 plants, Mazda has closed one factory that builds SUVs for Canada. In one of Trump claims of a factory moving to America, the factory is already in America and will simply switch models they are building at that factory.
The republicans were only looking for a $4.6 trillion tax cut but now with the Trump tax bring in trillions they are going to use the Trump tax money to cut the taxes on the ultra-rich by another $2.4 trillion. Every dollar of that additional $2.4 trillion will come out pockets of the working man. How does it feel to be the mark of a conman?
The village idiot is at it again. It seems Musk went in to see the woman that was over copyrighted material. Musk wanted to use the copyrighted material to feed his AI. The woman refused and Musk's request. The village idiot fired her boss and then fired her. There are a reason people get copyrights to protect their books and music. The village idiot has decided there is no such thing as a copyright if Musk's wants it, it is his.
One thing for sure nobody voted for the village idiot to raise their taxes by $2,700. Did the village idiot tell the public that the main objective of his administration was to raise the taxes on working people by almost $3,000. The village idiot knew that was what he was going to do but he never breathed a word of it when he was campaigning. Why? If he had told the people, he was going to raise their taxes almost $3,000 he would not be president. When the village idiot passed his first tax cut in the first term most of the working people got no tax cut and the republicans intended to raise the tax from 10% to 12% and tell them that was a cut. They wanted to raise their taxes by 20% well the finally did it.
The village idiot took swift action when he heard Amazon was going to list the cost of the tariffs separately and he made sure it would not happen. Why? Like all good conmen he wants to hide it from his marks how badly he is swindling them. If most of his marks knew how badly they were being swindled they would but a stop to the conman's swindle. That is why the village idiot wants to make damn sure that his marks never know how much it is costing them.
Free speech in America? Not if the village idiot can stop it. The village idiot has long gone after the free press in America if they did not sound like his campaign publicity. Now they are going after anything said on the internet. Former FBI director had taken a picture of something on the sand and posted years ago. It was spelled out in seashells. It had the numbers 86-47 in it. Now they are calling for an investigation of Comey. This is not meant so much for Comey but for everyone else on the internet. This is meant to send a message that says anything that is said on the internet that is not flattening to the village idiot will be investigated
What is a matter with Trump? The pictures show his eyes are terrible. They are reduced in size and reseeding into his head. One has to wonder whether he has brain cancer or something else seriously wrong with him. His eyes look like he has been looking through binoculars for 24 hours.
@hightor,
It looks like the village idiot can barely open his eyes. Something is going wrong with him, anybody can see that. Yet the white house press has not addressed the situation.
The cars are selling like hot cakes as people rush to get a car before the Trump takes effect. There are still cars in the pipeline that that the 25% Trump tax has not been applied to. There is such a rush to get a car without the Trump tax that the dealers are raising prices. Supply and demand mandate this when demand goes up prices go up. was. The Trump tax on American made cars will range from $5,000 to $12,000 for those who love to pay taxes they are going to enjoy this.
The village idiot's IQ must be less than six. The village idiot still believes that companies can simply absorb the 25% tariffs. He told Ford if they raised prices that they would not sell any cars. The cold hard facts are that most American companies operate on a small profit margin of a few percent. If their cost, go up 25% they would be losing about 20%. Companies exist for one reason, to make a profit if they don't make a profit there is no reason to stay in business. They didn't go into business to feed the village idiot's ego.
Trump is now trying to bully both Amazon and Wal Mart to prevent them from displaying how much of the price is the Trump Tax. Americans have the right to know how much Trump tax they are paying. There is no law that says the Trump tax should be kept secret, and the public is entitled to know. The village idiot wants to keep it secret because he knows that the average family won't pay another $2,700 in Trump tax and some will pay far more if they buy a car.
