America is shooting itself in the foot by withdrawing from global leadership on trade,

Yes, exactly. The world collectively shrugs their shoulders and go about trading with each other. America is just too difficult to deal with.

Meanwhile, "Who knew there were so many countries" Trump skirmishes only generate disinterest with trading partners.

The few policies being enacted are recessionary. If the contraction begins in the next three years, then there is no hope whomever is selling Trump Economic policy understands the consequences. Why no hope? Because it's the same old worn out Supply Side hypotheses followed by fiscal austerity.

re: pop_pop!_v2.2.1

Complete puff piece. Please post something with some "beef" in it, not a salad bar. When the EU can send a couple of carriers and submarines to the Asian Pacific, maybe it will be taken seriously. The US can not possibly due worse in trade. Our trade deficits have grown considerably for years, especially with China. Everything is being outsourced. We are loosing all our expertise and manufacturing capability. Good Luck EU!

Mr. Trump used words. With Obama and Hillary it was actions.

re: its_baddude

No, the context is why he didn't want these PEOPLE to come to our country. Because they are part of the shithole. If you apply a pejorative to a group who did something bad, that's not the same as rejecting a group and applying a pejorative to a whole group just for living in a poor country.

Context matters, at least to liberals, or at least that is what they claim.

When HRC called blacks "super-predators", it was defended as an description of gang of kids often connected to drug cartels.

Ok boys and girls, I shouldn't have to explain this to you but it looks like many of you just don't get it. Yes I am being condescending because as adults you should know this.
A country consists of its land, its systems and most of all its people. So when you call a country a sh!thole, you are grouping all the people who live there as part of the sh!thole.
If you say this You have purposely selected a term that indicates your level of disgust and repulsion of the the country and the people who live there. If they are part of this sh!thole then they must be less than a regular person.
You could have said that this person from this country is likely less educated and won't contribute to our country. You are saying much more, you are saying this sh!thole person and his country disgusts you.
These are people, people with the same emotions, and feelings and value as anyone else. People are not sh!tholes they should be referred to respectfully as they deserve. If you want to argue merit based selection, ok, but as soon as you refer to people as sh!tholes, ...........you say so much more about yourself and what you are lacking as to make your use of this crude pejorative ironic.

Nice try, but that's not even remotely plausible. The godless Trump was talking about which PEOPLE should be allowed into our country. He said he prefers (white) Norwegian PEOPLE over (black) African PEOPLE.

Nations don't immigrate. PEOPLE do.

You're an idiot. A brainwashed idiot.

The emphasis IS on the state of the sh1thole country AND the direct impact to the people, regardless of race. Whether white or black, taking in people from the sh1thole countries is NOT desirable because THEY HAVE TROUBLE ASSIMILATING. NOT because of their race, but because of their uneducated nature, uncivilized characteristics, etc. People from Norway generally understand how the US works, and would assimilate well. Do you really not understand the point?

You gotta believe, when it comes to always misrepresenting Trump's statements, that most of the Libs are being disingenuous to support their tribe. People just cannot be this dumb!

To turn it into racism, when it so clearly is about who would assimilate better, is absolutely ridiculous.

Huh? What does military spending have to do with trade? Oh, that's right, instead of spending more on the military than the next 5 countries combined, we could be spending 3x more than the rest of the world and concentrate on paying for the infrastructure required to be a good trading partner.

Your answer to "loosing" manufacturing capability is what? Trade protection? Once again, the message is sent that America is a difficult trading partner. The world stops trading with the U.S.

Chinese credit rating agency downgrades US’s rating over political ‘deficiencies’

USD slowly losing its status as the world's reserve currency because of Trump's chaos and you and I are going to pay. What now?

Reagan vs. Trump:

The United States is "a refuge for all those people in the world who yearn to breathe freely...the boat people of Southeast Asia, of Cuba and Haiti, the victims of drought and famine in Africa...."

--Ronald Reagan, accepting the Republican nomination for president, July 17, 1980

"If someone, even a friend, uses an ugly word referring to another's race or religion, let's make it clear we won't put up with it... There is no place for them in a democratic and free America."

--Ronald Reagan, 1987

Of course, Trump didn't say he wanted more educated people. (Although the idea that poor people are incapable of assimilating or acting "civilized" is obviously wrong and insulting for other reasons.) He just said he wanted people from Norway, regardless of their skills/education level, instead of whatever countries the black people are coming from. That is racist. In any case, I'm looking forward to assimilating all of these union-supporting, welfare-state-loving Norwegians y'all keep talking about.
