  1. Brick Wall, Since you're still obsessed with it, don't forget that Hillary won by three million votes. Trump is a born loser, grown-up a loser, permanent loser.

  2. Shure. Let them dump their garbage on whoever's downnstream. Why should coal companies pay their own costs when they can stick the public with them?

  3. Mike, Exactly. Problem: how do you get that across to Trump and his idiot sidekicks Navarro and Lighthizer? Trump is stupid and ignorant to start with. Then you give him those two to fill his empty head with negative knowledge, just a whole lot of stuff that ain't so. Sad.

  4. They're getting around to it. Trump's day will come.

  5. Sapphire, Well said -- and everything Chang says about "intellectual property" is crank nonsense.

  6. Hugh, If you think Trump is a businessman, I suggest you Google up "Trump, Plaza Hotel" and then follow the threads of your choice for an hour or so. Quit when you've laughed yourself back to sanity. Spoiler alert: Trump loses his airline, his father's and grandfather's fortunes, his yacht, his wife and children -- and the Plaza Hotel. He is kept personally above water thorugh the kindness of strangers, and the favors bought by his father through fifty years of paying off the likes of Ed Koch. That's why Trump is a famous New York liberal Democrat, remember? Trump has never made a cent in real estate, and he's still carrying $1.9 billion in unpaid debt from Atlantic City. The undeclared forgiveness of this debt by the various hidden purchasers of the paper is of course a violation of the Income Tax Act -- and a coming bill for tax (the forgiveness is taxable income), penalties, and interest payments running back to 1991 when his funnypaper started going bad -- add it up, and your looking at a deadbeat walking. Non-payment of taxes through non-declaration of this imputed interest is the crime that he keeps on committing. A President Pence, or President Biden, or President Pocahontas -- or President Klobuchar, my favorite hope -- can pardon him once, but that only gets him through one year. He's still up against the next April he has to either file and pay or lie and lie and lie again. This is a man with no past, no present, and no future in business. Acting? That he can do. Also pout, whine, complain, accuse, and make funny faces. But business? No.

  7. "Off brand"? Trump wants his name on a building on Red Square, with his name in big letters just like in Chicago. It's simply that childish, seems to me. If that means throwing the CIA, Crimea, Ukraine and NATO under the bus, then what the hell. Whatever it takes.

  8. Exactly as correct as Larry ever is.

  9. My rubber sandals are made in China. Most of the cutlery in my kitchen is made in China. Horrors! A predator rampaging through my apartment!

  10. Trump rents his name for a million to a hotel doing $100 million a year, and after ten years you've got a billion. No, wait, the guy who owns the hotel has a billion. In turnover, not income. That's your big number, but it's not money in Trump's pocket. Trump is a deadbeat. Now as always.

  11. How does pi$$ing your father's fortune away count as success, loser?

  12. Of course they get the technology when they buy the company: the technology is priced into the amount they have to pay. Duh. And the company shareholders, who paid for it to be developed (probably by some Chinese graduate student working there), deserve to get paid for it. It belongs to the shareholders, not to Trump or Trump's Murica.

  13. There is no deal. The President of Mexico humored Donnie by agreeing to agree somewhere down the line. He, Nieto, is leaving office before Donnie can even get his legislation up to the Hill, let alone passed. This is total fantasyland, a typical Trumpeting toot. Think North Korea, only without the deep thought Donnie put into that one. Stoo-pid!

  14. Chinese buy more, Chicken. There are more middle class Chinese than there are middle class Americans, and their standard of living is increasing rapidly. They live longer, suffer from less crime -- and judging by the level of literacy in these comments, they are better educated. Trump's war on the economy will hurt them as much as it will hurt America, but they'll survive. What they have going for them is hard work and plain common sense. America? Your call.

  15. Virginia, You're confused. The copyright violation industry was Taiwan from 1949 through maybe 1990. The supposed "intellectual property `theft'" is the fact that people who have stuff made in China have to tell the factory what they want and how to make it. There's nothing "theft" about that: it's the normal course of business.

  16. The awesome self-pity of the American rightwinger. Awww. So sad. Sob-sob. Maybe you could bottle it. Sell it from a stand outside your house. Along with your Trump Steaks, Trump Water, Trump Cologne and all your other winning ideas about trade.

  17. Dark. Won't happen. The last time the US won a war was 1865, and they won that because they were fighting against Americans. WWII? The Russians won it on the ground. British, German, Hungarian, Canadian atom bombs finished it off.

  18. Octo, It's been going up straight all through Obama's eight years, ending with Yellen's leaving Januray 31, 2018. The Dow was at 26,700 that day. It has now gotten back to the end of the Obama-Yellen recovery. Ie.e. the Trump bit at the end is flat, modulo the drop n the dollar and the tax exemption on all the cash brought home. These are what is fueling the share-buy-backs.

  19. "A little issue" of $130,000 -- and, ahem, of buying the election. Trump has been a criminal since he used undocumented -- and unhelmeted, un-safety-shoed -- immigrant laborers on the eponymous Tower he helped his father build. He is a criminal today and every day. Since he is for the moment President and a menace to America and the world, there are no little issues around him. Pence now!

  20. Hugh, You're lobbying for General Kelly's job as Trump's next Chief of Staff, right? I dunno. That looks like a good pitch to Donnie Fats, but I think Munchkin, Jared, and maybe even Jerome Powell, a completely sane Yellen-Lite, might still stand between you and that job.

  21. Um, uh, doesn't anybody here have a B-52 for me to step into and sing "Stairway to Paradise"?

  22. Lou Dobbs has just run a personal best in lunacy when he calls the Chamber of Commerce part of "the national leftwing press." Whoop-de-doo! An ordinary crazy shoots the Moon and freaks out toe-tal-leeee! 'Course he had serious help. If you want to explore nonsense, foolishness, ignorance and stupidity around trade, you couldn't make a better pick that Peter Navarro. So I guess poor Lou Dobbs doesn't get all the credit for this performance. Freaky Peter helped.

  23. She kept claiming that Trump is a free trader -- in the teeth of the fact that Trump is a pre-Adam Smith mercantilist with actual tariffs now on his record.

  24. Anonymous "Weazel," Looking over all the posts I'd say Kevin Nelson is oversiplifying slightly. China has to consider the damage it would do to itself by causing a devauation of the US dollar -- but there is no doubt at all that they could do it if they wanted to. Your posts, on the other hand, are just a lot of childish nonsense. Sad.

  25. My name is Kevin and I smile even better than Alfred E. Neuman. We've pumped up the economy by running a trillion dolr deficit on top of the full employment economy Obama and Yellen left us, so everything here is thrilling. Did I tell you I can grin a lot. I have ears, too, and my boss wrote a book about deals. and I have a thing in my ear. Also I grin a lot. We have a strategy, but it's secret, so I'm going to grin a lot. My name is Kevin. Also I'm really ready to get a deal done with Mexico. Their President leaves office at the end of the month, so I'm really working hard on this, cause signing a deal that isn't going to be signed on the other side is really what my boss is good at. He wrote this book, see? And I can grin a lot.

  28. The supposed "gains from tax reform" have already been wiped out by the increases in the prices of steel and aluminum. The threat of tariffs was enough to let the manufacturers jack up their prices. That only makes it come early. Remember Ryan divided the cuts into two parts, the big ones for the rich which are permanent, and the small ones for everybody else, which only last through the 2020 election. Cynical, stupid -- and fortunately transparent.

  29. Exactly 180 degrees wrong. There is no agreement. There is a verbal "Let's be nice to poor Trump" statement, "We agree to agree some time in the future." It is made up. Fairy-tale. Nonsense. Donnie dreaming. North Korea, his non-existent health care plan, and the Trump inrastructure program, all rolled into one. A nothingburger only without the burger. Donald J. Trump at his fantastic lunatic normal.

  30. The Republicans should impeach Trump for their own protection. The Democrats don't need nor want to: they're just laughing themselves silly as the GOP thrashes itself to death. And Giuiani is a wonderful sight to see, a circus tumbler and contortionist of the whole hilarious show!

  31. Buicks are made in China because the Chinese like Buicks. Duh. The major US automobile exporter is BMW, an international, mainly German, auto maker. Why? Probably because the US is closest to their large Latin American market. Et cetera.

  32. "Collusion is not a crime," sez the sometimes excellent Dersh. Depends on what you're colluding in, Alan. Crossing the street is not a crime. Crossing the street to help a guy rob a bank is a crime. Collusion.

  33. Okhan, I sympathise with your sensible posts here about Turkey, but you're wrong about the US. The US is going through a bunch of different crises right now, but it is fundamentally sound. The Constitution is one of the great works of mankind, and there are enough good and decent people who understand that to pull the country through the nonsense going on right now. If you want to be reassured, just look at one basic brutal fact: the death rate among the people who vote 70-30 for Trump is a bit north of 7% per year. They are being replaced by younger, better educated, less racist, better informed, more optimistic, and more decent people. Trumpism is the last gasp of the obese, booze and sugar-swilling, cigarette-smoking, cynical, tired, racist old whiteguys. The US still has its share of the best technology, its share of the best education, its share of... Above all, the US has enough sound and decent people that it will pull through. Depend on it.

  35. That's stupid, anonymous "self." The illegals pay the same taxes as any other working people -- but they don't collect their Social Security. They're a big net gain for all the rest of us.

  36. This woman is all "China slapping tariffs," no pointing out that this is a measured retaliation for Trump's stupidity. She is failing to serve her audience. Without knowing the cause -- Trump -- they can't make up their minds rationally at all.

  38. The Republicans ought to be impeaching Trump, if not out of patriotism then out of self-preservation. The Democrats? They're sitting on the sidelines laughing themselves silly as the Clown in Chief busily destroys the GOP.

  39. Michael, People with three-digit IQ's can tell the difference between a typo and the frequent errors which show an inability to think. This one was a typo -- before the guy fixed it and left you looking silly.

  43. Vincent, Canada has theoretical high tariffs on dairy above its quotas. Canada's dairy quota system is similar to that of the US, and Canada imports more dairy from the States than the States does from anywhere and everywhere. This whole thing is typical Trump misdirection. The fact is every country has tried to protect "the family farm" for the past hundred years, and it's only worked a bit.

  48. He couldn't fill that high school auditorium in West Virginia the other night, Patrick. Arenas? None of his arenas, back before the criminal decisions came down on Tuesday, none of them have been close to full for months now. He's broke, his support is collapsing, and he's running on fear.

  49. Navarro, Lighthizer and Donnie: the new Three Stooges at the wheel of the GOP clown car. Somebody maybe break it to these three destructive little idjits that America's largest automobile exporter is called BMW -- and this happened on Obama's watch, not fat stupid Donnie's.

  50. Anonymous "Razor," You're lying and trolling. YouTube doesn't "recommend" anything. If you've been getting a lot of gay stuff it's becaause you've established your own profile in the machine. I suspect you've been projecting your not-so-secret fears and it's shown up in the stuff you have chosen for yourself. The machine then reflects the preferences you have shown. Own it, buddy!
