tariffs 103, don't ask me, look it up

I don't see how those old world earthworms could have wrecked the soil because it seems to grow stuff perfectly well for us descendants of the old world now living in the new world.

All these trade agreements have regulations.  We wanted to make sure that the food we got from Mexico was inspected for health reasons and I believe we made them treat their workers better.  We did not drop all our tariffs while Mexico kept theirs.  Where did you get that?  Not even Trump has said that, but then the morning is yet young.  You know all you have to do is go to wiki and enter nafta into the little window and find out the facts before you start speculating on stuff you don't seem to know much about. 

There were always trade skirmishes.  Trump has turned them into a full fledged war with us firing the first salvo.

Iran was not making nukes while the agreement was in effect.  We had regular inspections which Trump, to his chagrin, had to sign off on every so often because they always passed them.  Now that the agreement is kaput, we are no longer inspecting them so there is nothing to keep them from resuming the work on nukes that they had suspended while the agreement was in force. 

Trump has not restarted the exercises by N Korea, and there are no signs that he intends to.  It would mean admitting that he fucked up and if you think he is going to do that then Beaglesonia is Fantasyland.

If there is a store down the road where you can sell your stuff and get scrip, and another across the street from that that will give you cash where are you gonna sell your goods?  Do you want all countries to trade with scrip?  How is that free trade?  Pass a law that says we can't buy any more from a country than they can buy from us, and I assume that you would expect other countries would do the same.  How the fuck is that free trade?  You call yourself a free trader yet every one of your proposals takes us further from free trade.  Talk about the Post Truth Era, you appear to fit in there very well.

It's kind of like republicans fuming about the deficit, but every time they get into power they balloon it far more than the dems ever did.  And speaking of which, look at how it has soared under your blue-eyed boy.  Right Taiwan, let's unleash them and have them conquer the mainland.  What could go wrong?
