TARRIFS – Now, There’s Another Great Idea !
President Trump droned on for about
two hours Tuesday Night in an Address to the Joint Session of Congress, (which
is just like, but somehow different from a State of the Union Address [?]). ‘The
Gulf of America’, Puh-leeze!
It was a Non-Serious, Lie-filled
Marathon, which I’ll get to in a bit when we get to the Non-Serious, Lie-Filled
part of the blog, but right now, let’s get to the Serious and Factual Section.
The Bad Idea factory at 1600
Pennsylvania Ave. just keeps crankin’ em’ out and here’s another beauty –Tariffs.
‘It’s the Craziest thing I’ve Ever
Seen’, Premiere Doug Ford, Ontario,
Canada commenting on Trump’s 25% Tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China.
‘These countries are the 3 largest
Trade Partners the U.S. has’.
‘The U.S. imports most of its
Imported Goods from these 3 Countries’
‘Both Americans and Canadians are going
to feel a great deal of pain from this and there is only one man responsible
for this craziness’. MSNBC
So goods we import from our 3 Largest
Trade Partners will be hit with a 25% Tariff. Now who do you think is going to pay
that extra 25%? The country that exported the freight to the U.S. isn’t paying
it, and the Vendor that’s selling the goods isn’t going to eat it. Who’s left?
That’s right, you and I. It’s a 25% Tax on Imported Goods that we consumers are
supposed to pay. Thanks a lot MAGA!
Of course, we have the option of buying
the more expensive American-made product or not making the purchase at all? How
much money do I have to spend? Do I really need this product now? As a merchant,
this is not the consumer frame of mind you want buyers walking around with.
*Early Wednesday, there was various
Wall Street Talk, and the White House agreed that there is going to be an
announcement on Tariffs today. Several Wall Street insiders say there are going
to be modifications.
(I Swear, I can’t write this stuff
soon enough before he changes position!)
God help me but I benefit from an
economic downturn.
The Market Tanked! 700 points! I am a Small-Time Investor, and now, I’m IN; I
Can Now Afford Stock. I own 4 shares of stock, and today, because prices
crashed, I can buy some more. Today, I was able to purchase 2 more Shares. Sooner
or later the price is going to go back up, & I’ll be In. At least I’ll have
a few bucks banked.
Greatest since Washington?
Among the many false hoods and
outright lies Pres. Trump peddled last night was that he was the ‘Greatest U.S.
President since perhaps, Washington’. Although he’s ‘not sure about that list’
[!]
His present economic plan has been
variously described as Incoherent, Incomprehensible, and treacherous.
He called Pres. Joe Biden ‘The worst
American President…’; the Fact of That Matter is, for a plethora of Good
Reasons, Pres. Biden will go down in the History of American Presidents as
probably One of The Best.
Trump spoke of ‘taking back the
Panama Canal,’ and said, ‘we’re working on that now, as a matter of fact….
What The Hell does That mean!?! Is Seal Team 6 down there as we speak securing
the Canal for the U.S.?
*Wednesday Morning, American financial
group BlackRock announced it reached a deal for $253 Billion to buy Canal Ports from a Hong Kong Investor.
He said the Canal was built ‘by
American Workers’, and that ’38,000 ‘People’ died building the Canal’. The
implication there that 38,000 ‘U.S. Workers’ died. Nothing could be further
from the truth. The Canal was built by indigenous South American Natives, and
mostly Caribbean and West Indian Laborers. They’re the overwhelming number of
people who did the Building and Dying.
Trump Welcomed Greenlanders into
being a part of the U.S., something a vast majority of Greenlanders want
Nothing At All to do with. As Trump rambled on about Greenland, he sort of
muttered at the end that we’ll ‘have it, one way or another’. What The Hell is
That supposed to mean? (Seal Team 6?)
Trump said we need Greenland for ‘International
and World Security’. I suppose by that twisted phrase he means Global Security. Either way, it’s clear
Greenland is Not interested.
We’ll have to all Stay Tuned to see
what happens Wednesday and how many positions change/modify since Tuesday
Night.
Organize. Advocate. Oppose.

The speech had my head spinning. Just hearing his voice and seeing his face make me want to puke. I ended up turning the volume off and playing a game on my phone until it was 9ver. Disgusting.
