Hi Marty,
you said there were two reasons for tariffs. Migrants was not one of the two. But sometimes I misunderstand things. It’s ok. Sorry.

Ross Ulbricht is the founder of Slik Road an illegal online black market and the first modern modern darknet market. Through that platform Ross made millions on drugs and child pornography worldwide. Thousands of drug dealers used his platform. He was sentenced to double life in prison. Now he's free! Yeah, Trump is really doing a lot against drugs. Sure. Take it. I'll have to take it because Americans voted for him.

No, not in Springfield. The woman who ate her cat was from Canton, Ohio and she was an American, not from Haiti. You don’t care. I’m ok with that.

He's not. If it was one-sided, that's the problem!

Yes, Trump earned a lot of money as an actor. He had his own TV show. That was a huge success for him. But he wasn’t a successful businessman. He’s an actor. What’s wrong with getting rich after you are President? Trump is getting rich while he is President. He launched at least 168 new products online between election day and inauguration day for personal profit. Forget Clinton, Obama and Biden. Since Trump became President … he has his own Trump online store. None of the people you mentioned did that.

Yes Marty. East Germany was a communist country until 1989. Do your homework. They didn’t use tariffs like Trump does but they decided not to do business (trade) with the Western world. Just like you said – reverse globalism. After just a few years their products could not be sold on world markets anymore because they weren’t competitive. Are Russian cars sold in the US? Why not? Give that some thought...

We need to be more competitive! Taxes will only punish the American people. I thought you watched MSNBC. They explain that over and over again. You should watch Rachel Maddow.

Who says that? What is that statement based on? Come on Marty! Explain why. Now I'm interested. Trump inherited a very strong economy. He's ruining it. Please explain why the system is going to break down. I remember people saying that in the 80s. Please, please, tell me...

All the best- Robert
