buffalo_bill Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 Gentlemen, my prayers have been unsuccessful. I am a historical US-supporter and therefore fear the US shall go down the drain with this monster. So let´s have a look for example at the Chinese fridge that Walmart sells: "Trump claims that tariffs will boost American manufacturing, create jobs and bring in billions of dollars to help pay for other policy initiatives – like tax cuts. " It is unfortunately Walmart that pays the tariffs and not the Chinaman from Shenzhen General Fridge Inc. . Consequently Walmart will be forced to increase prices. Looking at the newly established price level for fridges some US manufacturers might ( MIGHT ) be encouraged to pick up the opportunity to build their own US fridges. Pricing at then increased Walmart-level. But according to President Donald still billions of dollars are brought in to pay for tax cuts. Now do people still buy Chinaman fridges creating billions by Walmart paying tariffs or do they buy US fridges to boost domestic manufacturing? Donald will tell his followers at a later date. Probably. Then America will be made great again by sending all illegal immigrants home. By Greyhound, American Airlines or how shall they travel? Disney Cruise Ships? And where are they? Let´s assume they find them somewhere, would Donald bring in millions of Hillbillies instead, pay them well inc. social security and health insurance to replace their jobs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 Amerika is fucked and it will take all the Republican supporters about 2 years to figure it out. During Covid China placed tariffs on a number of Australian exports. It did more financial damage to businesses it impacted than the pandemic. Trumps best grift without a doubt.

buffalo_bill Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 Good news! Some TV-people travelling through various states to find out who voted for Trump showed many people confirming Trump was loved by God and consequently made President. If that is the truth, my chances to land in heaven one day must be considered as very very good if not excellent. A woman from an obviously decent family explained she voted for Trump because women can not be President due to too much emotion ruling their decisions. Maggy Thatcher and previous 16-year chancellor Merkel representing the queens of emotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He guy is a convicted felon facing jail time…and he got elected? The other candidate was a total joke, but WTF? I have to blame the democrats for this, a slightly better candidate that went about real issues rather than DEI and LGBTQO+A issues and ordering the fag flag to be flown at embassies and government buildings…total pandering to the wrong crowd…less than 2% of the total population…Southern border is a farce, inflation not under control or rolled back, corporate greed ruining business and her big issue is a 6 year old being able decide if they want to have “gender reassignment surgery” because a 6 year is that mature, but an 18 year old who is legally an adult is NOT mature enough to understand student loan debt…this country is fucked… Now in Thailand watching CNA and getting a different view of it all and the world is taking this seriously, concerns over China, economic trade etc…Putin has now said He’d sit down with Trump and Ukraine officials and try to work out a deal…NATO’s future at stake, or the USA’s participation anyway…but hey, we got those fags and immigrants scared so we won ‘merica… week #1 and full of #2… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted November 9 Author Report Share Posted November 9 The very fact the republicans didn’t tell him “hell no, not on our ticket…” says a lot…the democrat candidate sucked it big and bad, literally, under Willie Brown’s desk…an idiot ho bag sorority slut who slept her way to the top and a convicted felon, the best we could get… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted November 9 Report Share Posted November 9 In Harris's defense she did only really have a couple of months to sell her pitch. But this pretty much sums up what they voted for and have to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted November 9 Author Report Share Posted November 9 *IF* the democrats had been more sensible in 2016 and nominated Bernie sanders or someone more palatable then Hillary, *MAYBE* Trump never would have gotten this far? Likewise this election, had the democrats realized Joe is too sleepy and dementia ridden to run and announced a younger, better candidate would be running (NOT Harris)then maybe they’d have had a shot. But no, so we got what we got…maybe not so bad…he only has the Supreme Court, the senate and maybe the house…what could go wrong..? He has a limited point about NATO and other defense stuff, but only in a vacum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And t\o make himself the 1st or 2nd super power with China. The USA has to be prepared to slip a few positions in the rankings when it's traditional allies don't come to the party.

bust Posted November 10 Report Share Posted November 10 As has been quoted in the media, Trump will do whatever serves "him" best. Dark prediction but I reckon there's a long line of Thomas Matthew Crooks lurking in the shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
