donnie boasting about the great unemployment rate. so why all the trade wars?

[unblock]

because we need... uh, more jobs?

i know, i know. never try to make sense of what donnie does....

1. Thing is, tariffs are job killers for manufacturing that uses steel and aluminum

Like, for example automobiles.

4. ah, but the price of soup will only go up by one cent, so it's all ok.

indeed, getting tariffs right is extremely complicated business, especially once you throw in the inevitable retaliation.

this is not something you want an easily manipulated, ignorant fool like donnie messing around with.

2. Fair Point

It could be argued we need more good, high paying jobs though. Haven't looked at the job report in detail to see whether the new job creation is that or McJob's. Could be that we are generating good paying work here in the US, and then your point would be even more salient.

But, either way, the trade wars don't make any sense economically.

PINO thinks trade wars are easy to win, when in reality nobody wins. It's a bad idea no matter how it's executed, and PINO is the last person who should be trusted with implementing such a tactic. (Note, i said tactic because there is nothing strategic about such a move.)

5. getting "better" jobs isn't even his stated priority.

he's appealing to coal miners, as if his tariffs somehow help them, and he's appealing to some vague sense that we've been taken advantage of somehow. so, the economy's great, unemployment is low, and yet somehow we're getting ripped off. all righty then.

3. The Dotard believes thumbing his nose at convention...

and disrupting the status quo is his winning formula.

His base revels in it!


Everyone else better wake up and vote each and every time like it matters.

6. why try to even believe any sense is to be made?

we have chaos ruling our policies and shouldn't be a surprise
