I don't think these are reciprocal. I think these are unilateral, and when countries respond, their tariffs will be reciprocal. The distinction is very important. This is a problem created by Trump, not by other countries. You don't get to choose false language to describe it that shifts the blame.

Quite frankly, I don't give a f*** if they look in the mirror and say that they will do better. We've been calling on them to do better for many years, or decades even, depending who you are. Don't bother f****** telling us how you're going to f****** do better. Just start doing better already.

No, it's not even close to one of the greatest threats. Of course it's up to shady s***, of that there can be no doubt, but it's not ranked in the top five.

Classic baitclick.

You really can't. How is Trump looking out for him? By firing women and black people and Native Americans? By arresting college students? Jesus.

I don't think he's dense. Clearly he knows exactly what he's done. He knows that firing people could leave them homeless or dead, and he knows that cutting off life-saving medicine has killed people and will kill many more. His basic knowledge of well known facts is there... It's just that he's so narcissistic that none of that matters. When other people get f***** over it's not important. It is only his ego that matters.

Of course that's my best guess based on his tweets and video clips. It could be that he actually is that dense.

And yet not once did he apologize for that Nazi salute and explain how horrified he was that he accidentally did it.

Reasons depend on the person. Of course it's a giant mix of what everyone has written already.

Remember that the billionaires want more money and power. They love to use discrimination to get regular folk to fight against each other, while they get even richer. For example, the immigration prisons, those are privately run, right? Free money. Musk's Starlink contracts with the feds? Free money.

The rich will always find shady ways to get richer. Usually it's really obvious, if you stop and look for it. Many of them are also racist and sexist, and some are nazis.

No. Not really. That depends on the tax rates, my friend.

You're making a legal claim, and that claim that should be examined closely in court to establish its veracity. For example, I disagree with your analysis. I think that everyone understands what's actually being offered: money for a vote. I think that a jury could convict, and that there is probable cause to arrest and charge right now.

And the reasoning is quite simple, right? You want to give money for the vote but you know that would be illegal so instead you say something that's almost the same as the vote and then wink a few times. Everyone has communicated clearly. Everyone knows exactly what they're supposed to do, and why. Just because you wrote down some words cleverly on paper doesn't change the causes or effects.

But that's my opinion, and I'm not a judge in that state. Neither are you. Neither are any of us here in the comment section. That's why it ought to go before a judge in that state.

And risk your own personal safety? That's a terrible idea.

It was that plus a lot of other things.
