Let me get this straight, there's autocratic non democratic aggressors out there. So let's go after our closest friends, pushing them to trade more freely with our enemies while getting increased taxes/prices for Americans. Sounds like good strategy.

The Orange one is jealous of his keeper's invasion of Ukraine so he wants to invade Canada, Greenland and now Panama too. Whoever had that on his bingo card should play the Mega Millions.

We are losing our standing in the world and the American promise is becoming meaningless. We won't honor trade agreements. We may not honor student visas already given. Who's going to do business with someone that can't be trusted.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.

How long is it going to take people who voted for Trump to realize that they just voted to make almost everything we buy cost more? And to cause a recession?
I guess they can take comfort in the fact that at least they didn’t get a black lady President.

• Withdrawal from the world will increase economic uncertainty & invite more conflict.
• Nut jobs leading government agencies will reduce confidence in US stability.
This is not a recipe for American greatness.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.
Who’s with me?
