Events at home will catch up with him sooner than that I think. He was on the tv last night bumming himself & the job he was doing, while the wee info graphic in the corner was showing the stock market nose diving

Still no sign of a second amendment enthusiast stepping up. Utter shyte bags the lot of them

And how many shares in all these companies will he be buying as they slump, claim victory over Chinese imports to his disciples, the reverse the tariffs or reduce them at a later date once victory is claimed, Dow Jones goes rocketing and who makes a profit?

The leader of the free world is branding anyone without a Tesla part of the radical left lunatics

Do they like the free market or not?

That did make me chuckle- US Champagne- the level of idiocy that governs in the states seems to cross the full political spectrum
