Rapist Predicts Stockmarket Boom from Tariffs

"The markets are going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the country's going to boom. And the rest of the world wants to see, is there any way they can make a deal. They've taken advantage of us for many, many years. And many years we've been at the wrong side of the ball and I'll tell you what, I think it's going to be unbelievable."

He's nuts.

Mike Pence on the Trump Tariff Tax

Former Vice President Mike Pence weighs in on the rapist's "Tariff Tax." Not pretty.

The Trump Tariff Tax is the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history. These Tariffs are nearly 10x the size of those imposed during the Trump-Pence Administration and will cost American families over $3,500 per year. Check Out“Spoiling America’s Golden Age” @AmericanFreedom

Trump Lies about Tariffs

Trump's claim: “Billions of Dollars are pouring into the coffers of the U.S.A., because of the Tariffs being charged to China.”



Here's what CFR's Benn Steil and Benjamin Della Rocca say about Trump's claim:



"It would be nice if it were true. But it is, in fact, doubly false."

Trump Hikes Taxes on US Consumers

"President Trump’s new tariffs on Chinese imports . . .  are taxes that will be paid by Americans. That is a simple fact, and it remains true no matter how many times Mr. Trump insists the money will come from China." - NYTIMES Editorial Board

Trump Helps Brazilian Crooks with Money Meant for US Farmers

"Trump administration showers Brazilian crooks with $62M bailout money meant for struggling U.S. farmers" - By Chris Sommerfeldt; New York Daily News



"The Trump administration has forked over more than $62 million — taxpayer cash that was supposed to be earmarked for struggling American farmers — to a massive meatpacking company owned by a couple of corrupt Brazilian brothers."



"The sheer size of the payouts stoked outrage from industry watchdogs, who question how subsidizing a deep-pocketed, Brazilian-owned company would help farmers in the American heartland."

Trump, Tariffs, and Utter Nonsense

''We are right where we want to be
with China. Remember, they broke the deal with us & tried to
renegotiate. We will be taking in Tens of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs
from China.'' - Donald J. Trump



"National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow acknowledged Sunday that
American consumers end up paying for the administration’s tariffs on
Chinese imports, contradicting President Trump’s repeated inaccurate
claim that the Chinese foot the bill." - Washington Post; May 12, 2019
