He actually owns three MB cars. Now he wants to slap a 25% import fee on any German made car. I guess I’ll have to stick with one of the many American made German cars. If Trump has a plan maybe he needs to tell us what it is instead of tweeting “Fair Trade!”. What a dimwit.

So you thought telling the Taliban when we were pulling out was a good idea too ?!?!?!?!?
Re: The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread
In actuality, they charge us 10% of every car we sent them, we charge them 2.5%.
Fair???

I wasn’t around for the negotiations. There may be more involved than 10% vs 2.5%. We may get a break on other goods we import or export. The US is a major agricultural power around the world. I doubt Germany exports much of its agricultural products to the US. We have a global economy which makes it difficult to look at one trade deal with one country a say it is fair or not without examining our trade deals with all countries. China is where we should be examining our trade deals, but for some reason Trump doesn’t want to ruffle their feathers.

Re: The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread
All of you Lucky Ones near South Carolina have this beautiful BMW plant to visit if you want to see something really incredible -- https://www.bmwusfactory.com/manufac...79720331#stats
You can even order one that may not be built there and pick it up there in Greer... :)
These people are pretty self- sustaining using everything they can to get needed energy for less and not hurt the environment..
Since 1994... :)
Will be interesting to see how the trade policies will affect this plant someday, or perhaps not...

Re: The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread
Trump now is tweeting the “he has the absolute power to pardon himself”. Why even say anything like this? I always heard “no man is above the law”. I guess like everything else this does not apply to King Trump. Reminds me of Nixon and his above the law approach. He should just sit down with Mueller and clear his name, unless he is guilty. That’s what an innocent man would do.
Re: The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread
Trump truly has the “bully pulpit”. Now he has cancelled the Eagles celebration at the White House because of his assertion that they disrespected Veterans and the flag by kneeling during the National Anthem. No Eagles players kneeled during the season, zero. Fox even had the gall to show players kneeling in prayer before the game as an “example” of their disrespect. I get it. The NFL blocked him from buying a team in 2014 and now he wants them to feel some pain. He is a petty little man, a bully that needs to be taught a lesson. He is a national embarrassment.

So after 80 said they were going and that swindled down to 4 (3 plus mascot), he should still have the celebration?
WOW

The problem is he said he cancelled it because the Eagles did not stand up for the National Anthem, not because only 4 wanted to go. If three players wanted to go why couldn’t he invite those three? I guess he only had room for Kim Kardashian or her nut job husband. He had a celebration anyway. He should just play more golf.

You really need to listen to other news sources...…. (and enjoy the tax cuts)
Re: The Unofficial *Official* Politics Thread
I caught the end of game 3 last night. Gotta feel bad for LeBron James, he so wants to turn down an invitation to the White House but unless the Cavs can win 4 in a row he won`t get the chance.

Dude, it words from the man`s own mouth and the actions he takes that form my opinion of this ridiculous and embarrassing president. I do not need a news source to tell me what to think.

You have to realize some have different standards for different people which means they really do not have any standards.

My standards are pretty consistent, anything my guy does is okay and anything the other guy does is immoral, illegal, stupid, WHY ISN"T HE/SHE UNDER THE JAIL YET!!!!B)
But in all seriousness it has been strange to see so many people jumping sides over the last few years on so many different issues based solely on the occupant of the White House.
