What landslide? He got less votes than the other candidate.

"Votes" ? That shouldn't matter. Only thing that should matter is AMERICAN votes. Of those ,Trump won in a landslide. And from our booming economy + less illegal alien voters, he will again in 2020.

Votes don't matter?

Republicans slip farther and farther into fascism every day.

HD has a history of outsourcing their brand. When AMF owned them, they sold low cc 250's etc., crap made overseas to the public. They also had this current overseas thing in progress years before The Donald was elected President in a landslide. Triumph, BMW, Indian (Polaris), Yamaha are obvious better choices for large two cylinder engines.

Landslide?

/——/ yes landslide.

Trump got fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. He got fewer votes than Mitt Romney did when he LOST the election.

/----/ If Hildabeast got more votes why isn't she president? Why did she stand there and let Trump get sworn in? Was she drunk? Why?????

Are you stupid or what?

Actually Trump can’t build buildings. But he has developed a brilliant scam. This article sets out what happened to his Toronto project. As with many Trump projects, the hotel went bankrupt and Trump walked away with millions.

Please note as well, that this is a pattern for Trump. He bragged about walking away from his first Atlantic City bankruptcy with $40 million in his pockets.

We already know you're a sucker for Trump bash propaganda. No need to press it.

Are you thinking you can defeat Trump in 2020 ? Is THAT what this is all about ?

Exporters don’t pay tariffs. They’re added to the price of the goods and they’re paid at the port of entry. Contracts say the purchaser is responsible for payment of all import duties and taxes. That cost is passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices.

Citizen. Please. Actual reality does not belong in threads where economics teachers post that exporters pay tariffs.

You didn't understand the post ? You REALLY didn't ? Liberals are even more lost in the woods than I thought.

Also, fascism is symptomatic of BIG, strong government with lots of regulation or people and industries. Lots of gun control. Sounds more like Democrats than Republicans.

Or where leftist conners think companies can raise prices and lay people off, without suffering sales reductions/losses.

Typical right wing Trumpette PIOS blames Obama for the Bush recession.

Obama greatly improved our economy since he took office. YOUR fucking worthless party lefty Obama with an economy SHRINKING at a rate over 6% & losing 800,000 jobs a month. Just pull your head out of Trump's ass & consider those numbers.

Here's what leftists are pathetically doing now. They laughably try to portray Obama as a savvy economist. Oh brother! Here we go again. These poor sould don't know how silly they look.

OK let's look at the economy for 2 years, 2015 & 2016, when Obama was president, and compare that with the quarters afterward with Trump. You wanna play that game ? I'll play that game with you.

As you can see, after Obama had 6.5 years to work on the economy, in mid -2015, he produced dismal GDP levels of no more than 1%. In 2016, he improved only as high as 2.3%, which incidentally is just about equivalent to the lowest of Trump's GDP quarters (which now reach 4.1%) A stark contrast indeed.

As for what you call >> "Obama greatly improved our economy since he took office", in reality, is nothing more than the recoil back to normal, after a sudden and unusual low dip in 2008. It's like a spring that springs back to normal after you squeeze it tight. The growth had more to do with that normal reaction of the economy, than any economic planning from Obama.

And the proof of that ? >> Once the economy reset itself back to normal (by 2015), we can look at Obama's numbers, and they are dismal. Lucky for us, Trump got elected and now the economy is "booming" (for REAL).

Just in case.

The people who pay tariffs are the people who buy the goods which tariffs are imposed upon.

NO! And summer is not cold. Winter is not hot. Deserts are not wet. And oceans are not dry. OK ? Pheeew.

Yeah I know Forbes pushes the consumers will pay the bill, BS. They've been pushing it for decades. Oh boy. Aren't you clever ?

if China, Mexico, and the EU weren't paying for Trump's tariffs, than what are they retaliating about ? HA HA HA. Oh man, this is too funny. Dumb leftists getting themselves tangled up in their own distortion talk.

EARTH TO DISTORTERS: In order for your "consumers will pay the bill (tariffs)" scam to work, you have to have us believe the firms will raise their prices. But they can't, because of sales reductions. Nice try though. Maybe the immigration debate might suit you better.

I am not trying tyo portray Obama as anything.,

I am calling you a lying POS for blaming Obama for the effects of the Bush recesion.

You, being the dishonest POS called the Bush recession a "low dip".

Really. The worst recession in 80 fucking years is just a "low dip" combined with unfunded tax cuts, unfunded massive expansion of Medicare, two unfunded quagmire wars, a near financial meltdown & a housing collapse.

Falsely pumping up the economy by borrowing hugh amounts of money will certainly fool dumbasses like you.

Because it will reduce their exports to the US as US consumers would be paying more.

You don't know shit about economics.
Want to know how fucking dumb you are? You claim consumers won't pay the tariffs but US corporations will. How the fuck is THAT good for America you stupid fuck.

Harley is being forced to raise prices and lay off workers because of the steel tariffs. They’re eating the EU tariffs for now, but they can’t afford to do that for long.

No company can raise prices or lay off workers. Doing so, triggers sales reductions, and LO$$E$. Sometimes companies do. Rarely do they ever get away with it. And one wonders why they would do that in the first place. If they could get away with a higher price, or less workers, and net more money from that, why didn't they do that previously ? Answer: sales reductions.

Still pushing that load of crap.

Companies willr aise prices if they can not find equally costed replacements. This WILL like;y reduce sales and trigger layoffs.
