A five percent tariff on all goods coming from Mexico will go into effect on June 10, and will gradually increase up to 25 percent until the illegal immigration problem is resolved, US President Donald Trump has announced.

Invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, Trump said the US will start at five percent, but keep ratcheting up by another five percent every month, culminating with 25 percent beginning in October.

This, after the Mexican government asked Trump for $10 billion to boost their economies in response to the migrant crises.

So we have it here folks, a dumb king who acts on impulses and many blind Trumptard followers who are just there to justify based on the narrative.


It's amazing that will the constant and resounding defeats on not just new attempts but of old (almost enshrined) policies, as well as constant and hyperbolic nasty attacks, that Trump is still President and sill moving his Agenda forward, and yet people think he's just some kind of super Lucky Happy Amateur getting by on pure luck.

It's far more likely he knows what he's doing.

Note the near absence of leaks, just for starters.

The former Italian PM, Renzi, and the current Canadian PM, Trudeau, are in major trouble. The UK Prime Minister was just ordered out in an emergency session of the Conservative 1922 Committee. As are former Presidents and their key supports in Brazil and other places. Quite the opposite is happening from the false reality trying to be imposed by the Media.

Trump is basically a super genius Dennis the Menace, a good kid, but mischeivious. A master of the Dark Arts but with a George Washington Ego - wants to make an honorable legend of himself.

He's not moving his agenda forward. He's moving back and forth, making a lot of noise, but he has achieved NOTHING on either trade or immigration so far:
There are still thousands of refugees entering the US illegally on a daily basis, and tens of millions of illegal immigrants.
The US has still a very large trade deficit with every continent save Antarctica.

He's doing everything possible without the support of Congress (and most of the Federal Courts), which he never had - neither now, under the Dems, or under the Ryan Congress.

As there has been since the 90s. Every attempt to use Presidential Powers without the least Support from Congress, is met with aggressive Neoliberal Lawfare to place injunctions and restrictions on his Enforcement. Just getting the common sense "Muslim Ban" on immigration from war-torn countries where Jihadism is a major player, to stick took almost a year or more of supressing Lawfare attempts to stop it.

Which is being worked on. It didn't start a few years ago, it's been blowing up since the 80s (really took off in the 90s). It won't be fixed tomorrow, especially with most Dems and still a third of the Republicans vehemently opposed.

See Amash and Romney as examples.

As Lincoln said of Grant, "I can't spare this man, he fights".

That's how I feel about Trump. Nobody even tried before, so I'm not abandoning him, even when his attempts are met with stiff opposition and endless sabotage from other branches of government.

I'm not ditching Grant for another useless McClelland who looks good, is loved by many, but gets nothing done and has ulterior motives.

Your argument was stated so intelligently and it was informative as well insightful. Really I must pay attention to what you have to say more often.

Oh, in case you libtards don't get it, I was being sarcastic.

I saw two Mexicans at the Home Depot parking lot read this and shoot each other in despair.


Sure they were not aiming at you?
