Exactly ... he's just like Trump and his Trump Chumps ... shows you a DOG and swears to god that what he has is a CAT. As if, no one can tell the differences. Thing is, Republicans in Congress won't correct him ... if Trump said the sky was green and grass blue, the frik'n Republicans would line up behind the idiot. What Trump is doing is setting the ground works for a true fascist government ... only one step further to the right of his "nationalism" declaration he made during the 2016 campaign year.
Wake Up, America! Wake Up! PLEASE!!

LOl. No I gave you a few of the companies on a huge list of companies who are failing due to Trumptards tariffs. But its not my fault you lack the ability to digest and comprehend facts as the US's latest figures tell a different story. But hey we all know you cannot comprehend facts and figures and just pump out yet more bullshit and try to pass it off as fact.
You have to be either uneducated or a troll. Mexico and Russia have already taken bites out the US export market. China also, The EU has just jumped the US in Asia with its new trade deal. And continue to do so. US losing the soja market, grain market. Hell even Brazil is out producing and selling bean crops tothato f the US. Also Breadlines have been gone from Russia for over twenty years. But we all know you do like posting ******* and non factual comments.
You really have no idea as to the workings of your own country...How pity full is that when a foreigner knows so much more than you ever will. Is it an education failing? Maybe an intellectual fault? Or is it more likely, that like most of the bubble heads and trumtards you post lies and falsehoods in the hope you can get away with doing just that?...Just like the biggest liar in US history occupying the WH.
This is going to be my last post to you. That is, unless you can actually post factual comments that can be correlated against a reliable source. And no. You're not even close to a reliable source in any which way .
US farmers fear they will get plowed under.
MAKE AMERICA GRATE AGAIN
US farmers are bracing to lose as CPTPP rolls out
Donald Trump’s confrontational trade policy has already cost American farmers billions of dollars in lost sales due retaliatory tariffs imposed by China. Now they’re bracing for a different kind of loss: missing out on tariff reductions and other perks under a massive new trade deal among Pacific Rim nations.
The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), will go into effect on Dec. 30 2018for six of its 11 members, Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and Singapore. A seventh, Vietnam, will join them Jan. 14. (The remaining countries, which have already signed the deal, still have to ratify it internally.)
The first set of tariff cuts will be effective immediately, with another round following a couple of days later in most countries. (Japan’s second round will happen in April 2019.)
US meat and grain exports will instantly become less competitive in the CPTTP markets. Farm trade groups are particularly worried about losing share in Japan, a huge buyer of American agricultural products.It’s exactly the opposite effect American architects of the deal had in mind. The agreement, which began its life as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, was spearheaded by the US, and signed in 2016 by Barack Obama. A key goal was to expand US market share in Asia.Donald Trump withdrew the US from the deal shortly after taking office, saying it would hurt American workers. He now wants to negotiate a bi-lateral deal with Japan, but talks haven’t yet started.In the meantime, here are some of the CPTPP benefits that American producers will miss out on:
Meaty profits
American meat producers stood to gain a hefty tariff cut the first day of the agreement, from 38.5% to 27.5% on certain beef products, and eventually down to 9% by the 16th year of the deal. US-produced pork, too, would have become immediately cheaper. Japan would have lowered its tariff to 2.2% from 4.3% at the start, and gradually reduced that to zero.By 2026, the year by which TPP would have been fully implemented, exports of beef and pork had been expected to grow by nearly $2 billion, according to a study by the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Billions worth of gains
A separate assessment, done by the US International Trade Commission by congressional mandate, estimated overall agricultural exports would jump by nearly 3%, or $7.2, billion by 2032 under TPP. (Imports into the US were expected to expand by 1.5%, or $2.7 billion.)
The TPP gains were expected to spill over into the whole agriculture sector, increasing production by an estimated $10 billion by that year.
Whole countries of customers
Abandoning TPP doesn’t just leave all those potential gains on the table; it threatens to eat into US farmers’ current business, they say.
Take wheat as an example. The only Japanese importer of the grain is the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, which resells it at a hefty markup. (Other importers are subject to prohibitive tariffs.)
As soon as CPTPP goes into effect, the ministry will slash its markup for wheat from member countries by 7%, according to US Wheat Associates, a trade group that promotes wheat exporters. It will go down by another 5% in April, when the second round of Japanese cuts kicks in.
That will make Canadian and Australian wheat $14 cheaper per metric ton than American wheat, according to the group. And that difference will only grow larger as CPTPP benefits are phased in. By 2020, US wheat will cost $70 per ton more than its competitors.
If the US doesn’t do anything, the group’s president, Vince Peterson, told the Office of the US Trade Representative during a public hearing earlier this month, the market for American wheat will be gone well before then.
Harvesting in a trade war: U.S. crops rot as storage costs soar
(Reuters) - U.S. farmers finishing their harvests are facing a big problem - where to put the mountain of grain they cannot sell to Chinese buyers.
For Louisiana farmer Richard Fontenot and his neighbors, the solution was a costly one: Let the crops rot.
Fontenot plowed under 1,000 of his 1,700 soybean acres this fall, chopping plants into the dirt instead of harvesting more than $300,000 worth of beans. His beans were damaged by bad weather, made worse by a wet harvest. Normally, he could sell them anyway to a local elevator - giant silos usually run by international grains merchants that store grain. But this year they aren’t buying as much damaged grain. The elevators are already chock full.
“No one wants them,” Fontenot said in a telephone interview. As he spoke, he drove his tractor across a soybean field, tilling under his crop. “I don’t know what else to do.” Across the United States, grain farmers are plowing under crops, leaving them to rot or piling them on the ground, in hopes of better prices next year, according to interviews with more than two dozen farmers, academic researchers and farm lenders. It’s one of the results, they say, of a U.S. trade war with China that has sharply hurt export demand and swamped storage facilities with excess grain.
In Louisiana, up to 15 percent of the oilseed crop is being plowed under or is too damaged to market, according to data analyzed by Louisiana State University staff. Crops are going to waste in parts of Mississippi and Arkansas. Grain piles, dusted by snow, sit on the ground in North and South Dakota. And in Illinois and Indiana, some farmers are struggling to protect silo bags stuffed with crops from animals.
U.S. farmers planted 89.1 million acres of soybeans this year, the second most ever, expecting China’s rising demand to give them better returns than other bulk crops. But Beijing slapped a 25 percent tariff on U.S. soybeans in retaliation for duties imposed by Washington on Chinese exports. That effectively shut down U.S. soybean exports to China, worth around $12 billion last year. China typically takes around 60 percent of U.S. supplies.
The U.S. government rolled out an aid program of around the same size - $12 billion - to help farmers absorb the cost of the trade war. As of mid-November, $837.8 million had been paid out. Some of that money will pass from farmers to grain merchants such as Archer Daniels Midland Co (ADM.N) and Bunge Ltd (BG.N), who are charging farmers more to store crops at elevators where there is limited space. Bunge and ADM did not respond to requests for comment on storage fees.The storage crunch and higher fees have boosted revenues at grain elevator Andersons [ANDE.O], Chief Executive Officer Pat Bowe said in an interview.“It’s paying a grain handler to store - it’s the old-fashioned way to make money,” Bowe said.
These are also boom times for John Wierenga, president of grain storage bag retailer Neeralta. Sales of their bags - white tubes up to 300 feet now littering Midwest fields - are up 30 percent from a year ago.“The demand has been huge,” Wierenga said. “We are sold out.”
HIGHER FEES
Farmers are feeling the pinch. Those in central Illinois could pay up to 40 percent more than in previous years to store crops over the coming weeks, agricultural consultant Matt Bennett estimated.That amounts to between 3 cents to 6 cents a bushel, Bennett said, a painful expense for a crop that was already expected to deliver little income to farmers.Storage rates are swinging wildly, depending on the elevator location. Grain dealers at rivers typically charge more than their inland counterparts because they are more dependent on export markets.At some Midwest river terminals, farmers were paying 60 cents a bushel to store soybeans until the end of the year - more than twice as much as a year ago. Some commercial terminals are charging farmers to just drop off their soybeans.The trade war has only exacerbated the strain on storage, which has been a persistent problem in recent years due largely to a worldwide oversupply of grains.
Even before this fall’s harvest, around 20 percent of total grain storage available in the U.S. was full with corn, soybeans and wheat from previous harvests, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That was the highest in 12 years for this time of year.Some grain merchants are also charging additional fees for farmers who deliver less-than-perfect soybeans, said Russell Altom, a soybean farmer and senior vice president of agricultural lending at Relyance Bank in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.“I’ve never seen things this bad,” Altom said. “I know several farmers who hired lawyers, to see if they can sue over the pricing and fees issues.”Eric Maupin, a farmer in Newbern, Tennessee, said he was facing so-called dockage rates of between 60 cents at $1.20 per bushels at Bunge Elevators in his area - more than three times as high as a year ago.“Damage can be anything - a split bean, one that’s too small, one that’s too big - whatever,” Maupin said.Some farmers are pulling farm equipment out of barns to make room for the overflow of grains.
After packing nearly half a million bushels of corn and soybeans in their usual steel bins, Terry Honselman and his family found some additional space in 35-year-old shed on their Casey, Illinois, farm.Most years, the building protects farm equipment and bags of seed. Now, it is stuffed with 75,000 bushels of corn.Like others, Honselman is banking on a resolution to the trade war before this spring - when he says he will need the space back for his planting supplies.
Just TWO of many articles disproving your wild claims.
Enjoy.

You really are wasting your time with hoping. He has nothing to say, nothing to back his claims up and will contra argue just for the sake of it. Oh, and still fail to understand a reply of comment.

Funny - cause I feel that is how you guys are
Mmmmmmm
funny how when you corner a snake and point out it is trapped it will change directions
thank you DaphneD….for pointing out the snake..and showing us just how evil it can be.......hopefully the rest of us can now avoid his "territory"
The deep state tried with all their might to find a legal way to get rid of Trump but failed to do so.
Now when the Democrats say “impeachment anyway”, we should say back “civil war”.
Remind them there will be violent consequences to their temper tantrums.
