The irony is that in 2028, a state with the same population as Canada might hold a referendum about leaving America. This trade dispute just might push California over the edge, and I am not talking about earthquakes.

If America is so out of control and beyond the reach of the Rule of Law and the Constitution that it can elect Trump (recall that he is considered to be potentially a traitor to the Constitution by the Supreme Court), then it is definitely within the realm of possibility that California could separate.

      There are 300 million more morons who either support him or are doing nothing serious to get rid of him. At some point we have to question if Trump is the problem or a symptom of a wider issue.

      Yeah, trade has only ever benefited them and hurt us. That’s why we’ve been trying to get out of it since the 80s.

      He only knows how to bully to get his way, without his previous handlers no way he’d give to some sort of deal that doesn’t make him top dog.

      So yes he’s a moron. Someone smart would make a good trade deal to appease certain producers of their country to make it seem likes he’s helping them.

      Nah eff that says Trumpy Dump since he’s unable to do one thing that doesn’t massage his ego and get glorious rewards. Amusing cause he could do so much to help and thought of better and bask in it (like you’ve seen him when he walks on stage with that fucking stupid smile), but nope be a jerk make your billions, screw everyone, then bitch when people don’t like you.
