This has to be repeated.

Trump is going to a new level of insanity.

The president cannot order American companies to do anything.

He really thinks he is a dictator.

Sally and Rigged are you cool with this?

Is he finally going too far?

It's kind of funny that the only defense of Trump's pronouncements is that they are so stupid that nobody takes them seriously and that he could not possibly mean them.

It's not a needed defense. There is such a high volume of stupid comments that there is no time to focus on one before the next one comes down the pike.

For research, I'm looking at a Breitbart article on Trump's order to private companies and I'm reading the comments.

There is a debate on the need for a global economy but I didn't see much issue with Trump's words and "orders".

That's a huge deal to talk like that as a president.

You’ve got to admire a leader who leads by example.

Slaves were NOT American citizens. That is, they were NOT Americans.

Surely you are not trying to rewrite history to try to make it match your narrative?

So I'm guessing you don't consider green card holders or undocumented immigrants to be American?

I want to pay them based on good moral values. It is idiotic for taxpayers to subsidize corporations that won't pay their employees enough to live on.

Raising the minimum wage does not necessarily lead to higher consumer prices. It cuts into corporate profits sometimes, but it also leads to higher demand because people have more money to spend.

It is the government's job to set the rules for capitalism. Then let the free market do its job. But those rules need to favor the ordinary workers as much as the wealthy. That's why we have a minimum wage.

Slaves were Americans in every sense of the word. They were not citizens, but they were indeed Americans. Same goes for Native Americans.

Holy sh*t:

My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?" Trump wrote.

90% approval of Republicans. No dissent.

We need to vote every single one of those invertebrates out.

WTF? Slaves and Native Americans would disagree.

So Native Americans do not consider themselves to be Americans?

When you talk to a slave get back to me.

The National Farmers Union issued a statement today regarding China's tariffs on US goods.

Roger Johnson, president of the National Farmers Union, said President Trump was making things worse for farmers.

"It’s no surprise that China is slapping even more tariffs on American products. Every time Trump escalates his trade war, China calls his bluff — and why would we expect any differently this time around? And it’s no surprise that farmers are again the target. In just the past three years, US soybean exports to China have fallen nearly 80 percent, and once these tariffs kick in, things are likely to get worse. Things have been difficult for farmers long before this trade war rolled around. Farmers are making half of what they were in 2013, and they’ve taken on record levels of debt just to keep their doors open. Chronic overproduction continues to push commodity prices down, and extreme weather events and higher temperatures caused by climate change have made the job of growing food just that much more challenging. But instead of looking to solve existing problems in our agricultural sector, this administration has just created new ones. Between burning bridges with all of our biggest trading partners and undermining our domestic biofuels industry, President Trump is making things worse, not better."

I am beginning to believe the rumors that Trump doesn't want to win in 2020.

Slaves were Americans in every sense of the word except for the being free part, able to own land, vote, move freely, earn a wage, etc.

Other that that things were great being “American.”

Now if you are talking in generalities, Latin Americans, Central Americans and South Americans are American in every sense of the word.

Cute rhetoric. Stupid, of course, but cute.

Would you care to try again without using such asinine phrases as "I'm guessing you . . . "?

Your ignorance is so profound that it is nearly impossible to know where to begin.

Seriously, son, you shouldn't talk about economic matters. You make the entire world dumber.

How about in the sense of the word called being an American citizen? Were they Americans in that sense of the word?

JFC - stop advertising your stupidity. It is embarrassing.

I’d say most Native Americans over the last 400 years wished they weren’t so American.

Fair enough.

Do you agree or disagree that only American citizens can be American?
