He shreds all the great deals saying he will replace them with "something better". HE NEVER DOES. WHY?

Where is his great medical insurance plan?

Where is his great Iran nuclear deal?

Where is his great anything?

He rescinds environment protections thus jeopardizing our safety. Y'all don't give a rat's a** about poisoning yours kids. What kind of parents are you anyway? Is the almighty dollar MORE PRECIOUS TO YOU THAN THE HEALTH AND LIVES OF YOUR OWN CHILDREN? If so you are despicable and should never have had children for all the good you are to them. Sheesh. A shameful harmful embarrassment you are.

    Re: China deal

    Step 1: Trump ignites trade war

    Step 2: China retaliates with tariffs on US agricultural goods

    Step 3: US agricultural sector collapses after losing its second-largest market

    Step 3a: US consumers pay higher prices on goods imported from China. Chinese producers are mostly unaffected.

    Step 4: US government spends $40 billion or so bailing out the agricultural sector

    Step 5: US and China negotiate a deal for China to drop its agricultural tariffs, BUT leaves all other tariffs in place.

    Hope you got your money's worth for your $222 subsidy to Archer Daniels Midland ($40 billion divided by 180 million taxpayers)

    Here's another tidbit that should get everyone's panties in a bunch:

    "A Chinese-owned pork producer is eligible for federal payments under President Donald Trump's $12 billion farm bailout, a program that was established to help U.S. farmers hurt by Trump's trade war with China.

    Smithfield Foods, a Virginia-based pork producer acquired in 2013 by a Chinese conglomerate now named WH Group, can apply for federal money under the bailout program created this summer, said Agriculture Department spokesman Carl E. Purvis.

    JBS, a subsidiary of a Brazilian company by the same name, is also eligible to apply for the federal money. The two companies are the biggest pork producers in the United States, according to the National Pork Board, a quasi-government agency. "

    In what alternate universe should American taxpayers be subsidizing Chinese or Brazilian businesses?

    Re: Alternate universe.

    The best explanation I can offer comes from journalist/author/war correspondent Chris Hedges.

    In his book War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, he describes how people in war-torn societies (the Balkans, Israel-Palestine, Central America, etc.) will swallow almost any propaganda lie and accept almost any self-evidently destructive or useless action because it "supports the war effort."

    As it applies to MAGAts, the above principle is documented by research physician Jonathan Metlz in his book Dying of Whiteness, where he illustrates how MAGAts will support more lax gun laws...even if it means more of them die from guns, how they oppose Obamacare...even if it means they die from lack of medical treatment, and how they support neoliberal austerity measures (tax cuts, reduced social spending, etc.)...even if it devastates desirable social services like good public schools.

    Apparently we can add engaging in counterproductive trade wars...even if it results in US taxpayers subsidizing foreign-owned corporate conglomerates to the list.

    That is certainly part of the reason, and maybe the biggest part, but in terms of economics, I think too many people have no understanding of how trade tariffs work, who pays for them and why they exist.  So, when Trump says our trade deficit is out of whack vis-a-vis other countries, he's right, but the way he chose to change them to be more equitable to the U.S. has had the opposite effect.  I believe the smaller agricultural growers have now learned exactly what it all means.  I wonder how many of the small farmers who have lost their farms because of this Trump-created disaster will be voting for him in 2020.
