So Trump either intentionally (if Putin really does have him in his pocket over something dodgy) or unintentionally (if he really is the idiot portrayed by himself on Twitter) will cause NATO to collapse, allowing Russia to take a bit more than the Crimea.
Full blown trade war in the meantime causes chaos in the west, further adding to the issues that threaten the existence of the EU.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Every country has it's own sectors it protects all part of agreed WTO rules. The US has a trade surplus with Canada, just goes to show there's no point in negotiating with him, just prepare for a trade war and wait for him to be impeached.

Originally posted by radish2008 View PostI think with the milk thing he's moaning about with Canada the US gov gives huge subsidies to US farmers to produce milk - they try to sell it to Canada and Canada adds a tariff to level up the playing field frothier farmers. Trump reports one side of the argument. Not an expert though and I could be wrong.
The US is about to learn a very hard lesson and it'll cost the ordinary folks the most. Quality matters more than volume. Imagine if folks around the world started boycotting US goods? Trump would implode blaming everyone but himself."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Something else that's getting no attention whatsoever is US government spending which has increased a lot under Trump. Yet he criticised Obama for the spending levels."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
