They have no idea what they are doing. There are hundreds of US companies employing thousands that receive fabricated and raw products from all over the world and do various levels of fabrication/assembly in the US. This instantly raises their cost dramatically that will be passed directly to consumers.

Many US companies have plants in Mexico like Rheem who produces water heaters for Home Depot. We will see those prices rise immediately.

International companies such as AB Electrolux produce some parts in Mexico for their Frigidaire manufacturing facilities across the US. If their product become instantly non-competitive with Chinese Haire/GE products what do they do? Close plants? Stop investing in the US?

What does Europe, Mexico and China do? Buy their agricultural products from Brazil. Raise prices immediately on products in great demand here in the US.

Ultimately the idiots are dabbling around with a global economic downturn and crashing financial markets. Wilbur Ross said this morning that it would only mean a one point reduction in economic growth. Only a few hundred billion more or less!!! No one knows the impact.

It is classic Trump pugnacity. He only enjoys a good fight. He's now trying to reverse himself and say that Comey's firing had nothing to do with the Russian investigation, when he admitted it did on national TV last year...

If the president says something but Fox news never plays a clip of it, did he really say it?

https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/31/politics/puerto-rico-death-toll-trump-legacy/index.html

Two days after Hurricane Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico, President Donald Trump was busy kicking up a storm of his own.

Speaking in Alabama on Friday night, September 22, 2017, Trump took aim at the small group of NFL players who were kneeling, during the national anthem, as a protest against racial injustice. Team owners, he said, should be meeting their demonstrations with calls to "get that son of a ..... off the field right now," adding theatrically: "He's fired!"

As the President blustered and baited, Puerto Rico suffered. According to the official count, 64 people died during and after the ravenous storm. That estimate was always assumed to be on the low end, but a new, independent study published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine has brought to bear something closer to the true depths of the tragedy. In their report, researchers from Harvard and other institutions placed the toll much higher, at more than 4,600 lives.

One-third of the fatalities, the study found, "were reported by household members as being caused by delayed or prevented access to medical care."

...

Excuses in place, Trump by September 30 had settled on a villain. He leveled a series of attacks against Cruz, the San Juan mayor, in response to her criticism of the White House's relief work, as many on the island waited on help without power or access to clean water and medical aid.

"The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump," Trump tweeted early that morning. "They," he added, naming the mayor and "others in Puerto Rico," "want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort."

A few days later, Trump visited Puerto Rico, where he made a show of tossing paper towel rolls, like he was playing pop-a-shot basketball, to a crowd and compared the number of dead favorably -- "Sixteen people versus in the thousands" -- to what followed "a real catastrophe" like Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

"That was a terrific visit," he told reporters on the flight home, "that visit was terrific."

Well, this is clearly a message to anyone and everyone that Trump is guilty as frack and will hand out pardons like candy on Halloween if it means saving his hide. But Fox won't report it that way, and his blind supporters will contort themselves into dangerous forms to try and call this swamp drainage.

Trump says he is considering pardoning Martha Stewart and Rod Blagojevich

To recap: Martha Stewart was convicted of lying to federal investigators and obstructing an investigation. Rod Blagojevich was impeached and convicted of corruption, where he solicited bribes for political appointments.

An elected official selling a Senate seat should never get pardoned. (Don't really care about Stewart. On a side note, she once hosted a season of The Apprentice).

But I wonder if Trumpies will blast him for this or hail his bipartisanship. Would they have the same reaction if Hillary Clinton pardoned him?

They gave up on the Trump is innocent messaging about 2 months ago. They don't even try to pretend he's innocent much anymore.

I still think it is funny that the messaging around Cohen is whether or not he will flip, not whether or not he has info that he can use to flip.

You have to be kidding me. Who are these U.S. attorneys and why haven't they been disbarred?

Feds Drop Charges Against Anti-Trump Protesters After Hiding Videos From Defense

Prosecutors dropped the cases against six activists accused of rioting outside President Donald Trump’s inauguration, after those prosecutors admitted to breaking court rules by hiding from defendants dozens of videos from right-wing video outlet Project Veritas.

Prosecutors made their case for conspiracy based in part on videos from Project Veritas, which filmed some activists discussing their plans for an Inauguration Day protest. But U.S. attorneys edited a video to appear more damaging to defendants, then passed the video off as undoctored, prosecutors admitted last week. And in a Wednesday email to a judge, prosecutors admitted to hiding another 69 recordings, which they had been required to disclose.
