O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

Much of this thread is a masterclass in the Trump/Bannon strategy of 'flooding the zone with shi t'

And highly populated by those that belong in the "Very Boring tit for tat argumentative posters spoiling many threads " post. It doesn't take the brains of an archbishop to spot them appearing in their pontificating guise across most threads.

What I see is posters making wild claims and then not substantiating then. Then when they either get asked to show proof or they get proven wrong, they get abusive. A bit like a spoilt kid.

I thought they had NAFTA to reduce / eliminate tariffs between Canada, USA and Mexico, and I thought Trump then renegotiated NAFTA in his first term for the Maga win.

Sounds like either you're peddling 'alternative facts' yet again, or the master of deal making got his pants pulled down in the renegotiations if Canada can sell to the US tariff free while the US has to pay to sell in Canada.

I wish you would do your research before firing off.

Two links above. One from a NZ farmers' website and one from Reuters. Canada are renowned for their protectionism, probably on a par with France with regards to their farmers.

I'm not sure where you live, but farming and tariffs are pretty big news in NZ and it had been widely reported here well before Trump came to power.

The NTSB will conduct an actual investigation. They are literally famous for being impartial and thorough. Any public servant or office holider sprouting theories - especially ones with zero evidence - before said investigation is unprofessional, to say the least.

Its interesting to note that any politician other than President Rapist making those comments so soon after a terrible accident would be forced to resign or be looking at the 25th amendment. Hes just judged by such different standards to everyone else.

I see the wackos blame DEI for everything currently, not that long ago it was Critical Race Theory how quickly times change.

The majority response of the US public - if it can be measured - to Trump's comments will be illustrative of where the country is right now. There'll always be a hard core minority who will follow him anywhere no matter where that leads. But if all Trump voters fall in behind his position on this then it suggests the country is a lot closer to the likes of Russia and North Korea than we realised.

What I find interesting about popularity, is that it is the same pollsters who said that it was neck and neck in the US Election, are saying that Trump's popularity is a record low.

I don't know, I might be and could be very wrong, but the people I met in the US seem extremely happy and positive about Trump and the feedback I have currently is that he is doing everything he promised prior to the election - so the people who voted for him are getting what they voted for. In democracy terms, it's called a Mandate.

Just like in the UK - you vote for someone and all you can ask is that they do what they say they are going to do in the election run-up.

Well twisted. The post you have quoted is about people’s reactions to his position on this, not him generally.

I don't normally see you on here scrutinising every comment that each political leader makes and then saying that they are bad leaders because of it.

More laughable evasion tactics. What every other political leader says, right or wrong, doesn't excuse the depths Trump has sunk to here. You appear to be the only one refusing to see it.

The spade is in your hands, keep digging by all means.
