âGrassley Knocks Trump For Prompting Chinese Tariffs On US Agriculture.â
Well, dumbass, what did you think was going to happen?
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind (Including, I hope, your removal from officeâŚ).
Moral of the story the Trumpman and the farmers must be friends.
Chuck Grassley calls on lawmakers to help the Americans who will be hurt by the new tariffs. I call on voters.
Well Chuckie, Iâm sure you know by now that trump doesnât care which Americans he hurts, as long as itâs not himself. Also, all that blathering you did to educate him abut tariffs? He wasnât listening and he wouldnât understand anyway.
All he wants is to look tough and claim a win. If he loses, itâs someone elseâs fault. Maybe you should get out of his way, Chuck, before he blames you.
If the federal government takes action on trade that directly results in economic hardship for certain Americans, it has a responsibility to help those Americans and mitigate the damage it caused.â
So let me get this straight
They vote for Trump
Trump does crazy shit
We pick up the tab
Through the looking glass
âThe Administration knew that if it imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, China would retaliate against U.S. agriculture. I warned President Trump as much in a White House meeting in February,â Grassley said in the statement. âToday shows thatâs exactly what happened. If the federal government takes action on trade that directly results in economic hardship for certain Americans, it has a responsibility to help those Americans and mitigate the damage it caused.â
What?! No!! This is not an opportunity for you to funnel tax dollars to your friends, Senator! It is an opportunity for Congress to stand up to President Dipshit and take back its constitutional prerogative to impose tariffs, or not. Trump can do this only because you fools allow it. Do your duty, Senator.
âThe Congress shall have the Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.â Article I, Section 8
Well, gee, Chuck. I guess if you lie down with dogs you get up with no corn or soybean markets.
You made your bed- now go explain to your farmers why your man Trump just blew a multi-trillion dollar hole in the deficit AND attacked the market for their crops.
Stupidity may be contagious. It certainly doesnât know there is such a thing as âsmartâ.
Remember this- there are ZERO justifications for this trade war- except prez Full Diaper woke up in a bad mood.one day and decided to start a war.
Think on that for a moment.
Are you going to stand up and do something, Chuck, or just bleat like a stuck pig?
Grassley is a Trump rubberstamp, and farmers overwhelmingly voted for him.This is Trumpâs repayment (along with kicking out migrant farm labor used to harvest crops).
Farmers were all warned by sentient Americans what to expect. I have zero sympathy for any of these gullible marks of the con man Trump. Grassley is a senile dotard and he is another Trump follower who only deserves scorn.
The latter.
Nobody could have known that a snake oil salesman would turn out to be an actual snake.
Octagenarian half-wit asshole. How could you have not seen this coming? Trumpâs been beating this rug for over a year.
Grassley is often quick to stand up for the agriculture industry in his state.
Serious questionâŚ
If you found Grassley pinned under an overturned tractor, how many harvests would you wait to dial 911?
Food fight in the cafeteria! Oh, itâs a musty old fart, who has been enabling the slightly less dottering dayglo oldster by building him slings and catapults and bolstering his ammo - now trying to do something - but can only muster up a whine.
All about whose ox is gored, isnât it?
Grassleyâs blindspot like the rest of the GOP is that the entire Nation would ill-served by starting a Trade War. Itâs not like we havenât seen this play out in the past. And the Trumpster leading the charge is a clear warning siren; the manâs impulsive blathering will bring us all to ruin.
Dumb question
How many days, weeks and months did Trump spend attempting to negotiate a peaceful solution with China on economic issues before taking the first shot in a Trade War.
Isnât Trump supposed to be the bestest at business and negotiating?
I heard an interview with a Minnesota ginseng grower last night. When confronted with, âTrump promised to tear up trade agreements, and specifically to attack China on trade,â he responded, âWe didnât think it would go this far.â A lot like the lady who voted for him but didnât expect her husband to be deported.
And Grassely keeps trying to butter both sides of his bread. Ending up, basically greasy and on a slippery slope.
