One thing is for certain, there isn't going to be any more cars being sold to Democrats for the next forseeable Century huh? No long term homes or RV's will be bought either. In fact, there may be a flood of homes forsale in the next few months. Tariff's is going to be the least thing we Democrat's are going to be worried about. Extinction? Siberian Training-Center's?

BBC is on the exact same wavelength as the failing (seen their ratings??) as the US legacy mainstream media. They all want a global world, one world and all suffer from group think. Voters around the world are rejecting their elitist thinking that has caused massive inflation and suffering by everyone but the wealthiest who are running the show and want to stay in power. Those in power control the media.

[@Summerdee223]

You are literally watching the exact same news. BBC and NPR and legacy US media suffer from group think and all think and believe the exact same thing.

[@Summerdee223]

The only way to truly get a grasp on the truth, which always lies somewhere in the middle, is to purposely seek out views that oppose with your views. Seek it out, listen to educated sources on all sides, try to drop your preconceived viewpoints, and then try to find the truth that lies in the middle. Listening to the state run media in the UK (BBC) and the state run media in the US (NPR and three legacy media networks for the most part) will give you the exact same viewpoints which are Trump bad and Trump will destroy the world. You will never hear all sides by listening to these biased news sources.

@@RickL_was_here Bone spurs my ass. We have had, and will have again, a Commander in Chief of our militaries who avoided military service. It is shameful that our military must salute this CON and narcissistic sociopath. Not one member of the Drumpf family throughout generations served in the military. In fact, his family came to America to avoid military service. Family members generationally were threatened with being ostracized if they ever joined the military. Do your research.

It's really quite simple to determine a person's character. Ask yourself who that person admires and why. Trump admires the world's dictators both past and present. He SAYS this. Why?

MAGA Americans believe tarrifs with bring prices down! Dumb as........ Applying tariffs will not decrease prices. It will not make the manufacturing pay for it. The American company or business importing will have to pay the Tariff and that will be passed onto the consumer. Your prices will go up not down. Point two, if a competing company comes into America to avoid tariffs, they'll set up, employ the best qualified Americans taking them away from American businesses, and the American made product will go out off business or American made products prices will go up to pay the higher salaries to retain the best people and that means increasing consumer prices. Please tell me America knew this before listening to Trump, who has bankrupted 3 casinos and multiple businesses?
