MAGAThread XV: Because Another

[Valrifell]

San Lumen may be wrong about organized labor, but let's not distract from the fact that Donald Trump, C list reality star, is still the president.

Nicely done. You need a little more wrist action and you should tuck your hip in more when you pivot the thread. Otherwise, very nice.

C list is giving him too much credit

That's a bit harsh. He could have easily got a gig on I'm A Celebrity....

Now donnie is talking about tariffs on Mexico for immigration.

I thank the farmers for their sacrifice.

At this point, Trump is like the Oprah of tariffs.

[Zurkerx]

Trump announces 5% tariffs on all imports from Mexico and will reach a permanent level of 25% by October if Mexico doesn't stop illegal immigration into the US

Now, Mexico has been slacking off at apprehensions at their own border since, well, the new government has come into power and I do think that does need to be addressed (I think the last stat I saw was in December of 2018 where Mexico apprehended 6000 people at their border?). But I don't think tariffs are going to work so well, especially since we get a decent amount of food. I can only see this hurting consumers on all fronts, especially if they go up to 25% and we get a decent amount of car parts from their too. I don't see Mexico backing down. Or worse, walking away from the trade deal they made with America and Canada.

I’m generally pro-tariffs. Yet this is not how you use them. We should be supporting Mexico not killing them. Canada is already in the pocket of the Chinese we don’t need Mexico there as well

and it will end with a collapse of the US economy if he keeps this up. A trade war with China isn't winnable no matter how much you think it is.

Don't worry, his base will blame Obama and Hillary.

of course. why blame themselves for supporting him

Incorrect. They've moved on from requiring specific scapegoats, they've ascended to the level where Democrats and anyone left-of-center are collectively at fault.

So "LOCK HER UP" is just a team chant now?

One of the gazillion reasons why Trump should be impeached, or have we reached the infinite?

You can't impeach a President for doing something that's within their power.

There's obstruction, but the Republicans are determined to coddle him like a fetus at all costs.

One need only use said power inappropriate to the customs and dignity of the office he holds (but not necessarily illegal) for Congress to launch impeachment proceedings -- see the Lewinsky brouhaha.

[Proctopeo]

There are probably better ways to pressure Mexico to actually run itself. Though a couple of them might violate international treaties...

That's really not how it works.

Tbh it would be probably about as spurious and about as successful as the impeachment of President Clinton was

I'm kinda okay with Mexico not putting kids in cages...

We could invade and annex northern Mexico.

I feel as if people might object to that. Still, fundamentally not a bad idea.

I'm okay with Mexico taking a higher road than the US.
