It appears that Russian President Vladimir Putin bought himself a man in the White House to carry out his every dream of American destruction. Putin must be ecstatic with such a good return on so little investment in the 2016 presidential election. Too bad Trump has not been as good with the U.S.’s money.
Trump has done everything he could to insult members of the EU, NATO, the Paris Accord, and even those nice people north of us, Canadians. The man sitting in the Oval Office’s latest trick has been to try to ignite a global recession. He tweeted:
‘The United States is insisting that all countries that have placed artificial Trade Barriers and Tariffs on goods going into their country, remove those Barriers & Tariffs or be met with more than Reciprocity by the U.S.A. Trade must be fair and no longer a one way street!’
The former leader of the free world has been throwing out made-up numbers to rev up his base. He wants them good and enraged over the fiction that all the other countries have been taking unfair economic advantage of the U.S.
That was simply not true in most cases. Yet, for some reason, his core believers have been mesmerized into believing up is down and day is night.
Of course, the Chinese responded accordingly after Trump put tariffs on their goods. They have already encouraged their farmers to grow more soy beans, a real staple for them and a great profit-maker for U.S. farmers.
The very same people who voted for 45 have begun feeling the financial noose tightening. Agriculture is a difficult business, and Trump’s destructive actions are ignorant at best and diabolical at worst.
The Twitter world went crazy over the president’s latest tweet. Check out some more of our favorite responses below:
