Too strong of dollar has NEVER been good for our exports. China is just one that has been accused of manipulating their currency lower. We buy their cheap shit even cheaper and they won't buy ours because it costs even more with undervalued currency.

My point is it has nothing to do with us or Obama or Trump.

She's hot and looks like my wife so I don't care what she does.

The same people who hate what's going on would normally complain that not enough gets done. TDS RINO: Spending is out of control....we need to get rid of waste, fraud and abuse! Trump/Musk: Look at all this waste, fraud and abuse we are finding and getting rid of. TDS RINO: Whoa man.....we should do this with a scalpel not a chainsaw! TDS RINO: Free trade is best for the world! Trump: We are imposing equal or less tariffs on the world to make trade more free and fair. TDS RINO: Whoa man.....we can't expect our allies to stop taking advantage of us so quickly!

Where is your proof of this? Funny I don't see countries running to the media making those claims. You also have zero clue if the Trump camp reached out for a more reciprocal balance. My assumption they have because some countries announced equal or no tariffs before yesterday. You could have cancer and Trump himself could literally cure it and you would complain.

Small part of it. US has to refinance $9 trillion of its debt this year.

Guess they never trusted Obama either. I laugh at the amount of posts the Anit-Trumpers put up with doing little to no research on the subject.....its always immediately Trumps fault. https://mikesmoneytalks.ca/the-big-picture-behind-germany-taking-its-gold-home/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_repatriation#:~:text=The%20gold%20stored%20in%20the,invasion%20by%20the%20Soviet%20Union. Netherlands[edit] In 2014, 122.5 tons of Dutch gold reserves were returned to Amsterdam from New York, where they had been stored in a vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; the De Nederlandsche Bank, the Dutch central bank, said that it "felt that in times of financial crisis, it was better to have the gold near at hand."[3] Germany[edit] In January 2013, Deutsche Bundesbank, the German central bank, announced plans to repatriate 300 tons of its 1,500 tonne reserve from the U.S., and 374 tons from France by 2020, in order to store (1,695.3 tons) of its official gold reserves in Frankfurt.[4][5][6] The gold stored in the U.S. was acquired by West Germany during a period of trade surpluses with the U.S. before 1970. The gold was never repatriated to Germany due to fear of invasion by the Soviet Union.[7] In 2013, five tons were repatriated due to logistical difficulties. However, 120 tons in 2014 (35 tons from Paris, 85 tons from New York);[8][9] a further 210 tons in 2015 (110.5 tons from Paris and 99.5 tons from New York);[10] and finally 200 tons in 2016, were repatriated.[11][12]

BFD...take back your Nazis gold. Why the fuck would we care?

You act as if they don't know the disparities. Do you know for sure whether or not we asked or are you just assuming? Ask yourself why haven't they just removed or equalized any disparities when Trump announced tariffs. You are putting all on the US. Its laughable you think we are the only ones playing the game. Its not also just about the tariffs but restrictions to what we can even export there which generally drives much higher tariffs that we've seen listed like dairy and other AG products. I get it they are trying to protect their own industries as should we. They have some industries they manipulate to keep prices higher and then our products become more competitive. They don't like that and I'd expect we wouldn't either. If they concede its admission that they were taking advantage of us. I get not wanting to do that.

You can but don't but you want me to do it. Well I will. In the last 20 years we've lost 65 auto mfg plants in the US. 65. There is also in some provinces higher tax rates on our goods than we apply nationally or by state to theirs. That is in essence a tariff. https://www.retailcouncil.org/resources/quick-facts/sales-tax-rates-by-province/ Want more?

In other words you can't you just point to what someone else is posting. Some on here just like to complain. I know the type.

Please give some examples of how you think he went about it wrong and how you would want to see it handled differently? I'm not disagreeing that I too wouldn't have done some things a bit different but I'm also not privy to the same information he is. He goes about politics in more of a business world manner which is also refreshing. As I've stated a number of times bipartisanship and doing things in a political manner got us in bad positions trade wise and also $36 trillion and climbing in debt. Time to break some molds in the status quo.

We still are the largest single consumer economy in the world. It makes no sense not to use that both politically and economically to benefit the US. I'd much rather use tariffs than missiles and war to make changes on the world stage. Part of this whole process is getting our own economic house in order by getting rid of as much waste, fraud and abuse as quickly as we can. I hate when most administrations economic plans are out a decade. Fuck that.....let's get things done. I don't think Congress or an admin should be allowed to project out a decade.

Oh FFS man. The entire Steele dossier was made up....leaked to the media then used along with media reports they leaked to get FISA warrants. Guessing. ”[Trump is] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Page, who also worked on Mueller’s staff, responded. “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it,” Strzok texted back.

Great actor. IMHO his best was Thunderheart.
