To quote a current contributor, who sadly, but slowly and inexorably seems to be slipping into illiteracy:
Again, what does your fiction have to do with Trump?

Re: Trump addresses EU trade deficit
Trump addresses the EU trade deficit ............... by "winning" the trade war with China.
How does that work?

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
There is no wall today because past administrations gave Democrats what they wanted -- first. Then Democrats renigged -- since the 1980s.
This call by Democrats to open the government first, and then discuss border funding, is just another disingenuous compromise effort.

The Chinese built a wall thousands of years ago, and now they have no problems with South & Central American immigrants invading China.
Go Chairman Trump!

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
Whoops,
It failed in 1644 when Manchu Qing marched through and replaced the Ming Dynasty. Hmm, maybe walls don't work.
Just a thought, 20,000 illegals reached US via airports last year, build the wall to stop them at 40,000 feet and it just might be a strategy.
Or maybe Trumpf (his real immigrant name) is an utter dope.

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
I note that Zhu Youjian was the unfortunate Ming Emperor when the marauding Qings slipped through the Wall to take over the then China.
Essex, do you happen to know if Mr Zhu, before he became Emperor, had promised that the Qings were going to pay for the Wall?
Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
Originally yes, then he claimed it was 'Fake Scrolls'.. FoxQua ran a number of campaigns in support, but kinda faded out when facts made them look idiots

Re: Trump addresses EU trade deficit
The EU will impose quotas on 26 product categories and levy a 25% duty on imports exceeding those quotas, the executive arm said on Wednesday. The move cements proposals laid out last July with the stated aim of protecting European steelmakers amid Chinese overcapacity.

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
I remember the day that Bayrack lectured us on how much money was enough and made that infamous statement, "You didn't build that!"
Yet Bayrack, like all good elitists, never believes that the same criteria applies to him.
This political cartoon reminded me of how far we've come in 2 years and how it happened.

Latino approval of Trump since the shutdown is up 19% to 50% Approval.

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
Lone Star once again you disappoint with not printing the WHOLE STORY
50 percent of Latinos support the job Trump is doing, a significant jump from the 31 percent who had the same answer in a December poll.
Trump's support among whites dropped from 50 percent to 40 percent, while his support among African-Americans fell from 19 percent to 11 percent.
Overall, Trump's approval in the most recent poll is 39 percent, down from 42 percent in the previous poll.
Dont hide behind just part of the story

Re: Will Trump make the Grade.
We have immigration laws. It's not up to either Obama or Trump to decide which ones he likes and which he doesn't. Both parties have had complete control (i.e., White House, Senate and House of Representatives) in recent times and have failed to change the immigration laws. Thus they remain unchanged. Our immigration policy must follow the law. People who entered the country illegally are not undocumented immigrants. They're not immigrants at all. They're illegal aliens. Trespassers.
Some argue that it's not fair to send them back. But what about the people who would like to become immigrants to the U.S. and have followed our laws? They went to the nearest U.S. Embassy, did all the paperwork, had their interviews, and are back at their homes, waiting until their names work their way up to the top of the list for that country. Often the wait is years. They're being penalized for doing exactly what we asked them to do. They're being penalized for complying with our laws. To allow illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. is hardly fair to them. We're penalizing them because they complied with our laws, and rewarding others for ignoring our laws and entering illegally. Is that the message that we want to send to prospective new residents and eventually citizens? That you get ahead in the U.S. by breaking the law?
Barriers work. We can have a conversation about the most effective type of barrier; but there are people in that business who know much more than I. Bottom line is that they work.
Is it worth shutting the government down in order to get funding for a wall? No. Trump touted himself during the election, and before, as the great negotiator. The Art Of The Deal. What's the problem? If people (Democrats in Congress) won't do what he demands, he just shuts the country down? Is that how he displays his expertise and experience at negotiating? "Do what I want or else?" The very definition of negotiating is give and take, giving something up and getting something in return. Trump's not negotiating, and has shown no ability to do so. He's simply holding the country hostage until he gets his way. That's not negotiating. We need better leadership than that.

Trump needs $25 billion. He asked for $5.7 billion. That is an 80% compromise. Pelosi and Schumer offered zero.
Pelosi and Schumer want the government reopened, first. Trump asked if he would receive the wall funding after reopening the government. Pelosi said no.
No one can negotiate with someone who says no. No one can negotiate with someone who doesn't want to negotiate.
You can blame Trump for the shutdown, but facts won't allow you to blame Trump for a failure to negotiate.
But you are always entitled to your opinion.
