Amazing what propaganda can do when it takes root.

Feuding Auto Industry Unites to Oppose Trump’s Import Tariffs

* Lobbying efforts stepped up as Trump considers levy on cars
* Trade groups fear White House will move forward with threat

My guess is that these Mexico tariffs won't go into effect. There will be some last minute "super duper great perfect we won" deal. Why? Because the R's said that they oppose the tariffs, and Trump doesn't want to be overrode by the R's.

Yeah, well, my guess is there is zero chance of a reprieve from tariffs for Mexico over the weekend, and the market will drop like a stone.

Yes but if that happens, won't the D's claim a V and embolden them to proceed with I against the P, thereby ensuring a V for the P in 2020?

Just funning with you Q...nothing personal.

"Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? 'Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP."

Sure, anything's possible.

But sometimes you play the (wo)man; sometimes you play the cards. In this case, the cards don't matter as much as the ego of the man. Imo.

No additional free poker lessons today.

This is still fluid, but here's what we have so far...

Mexico, forget what I said about immigration ... just buy some vegetables (or at least say you'll buy some) and we're all good. LOL

Trump says there’s a ‘good chance’ that Mexico averts tariffs with deal that includes purchase of US farm goods

“This seems very odd to me,” said former U.S. Department of Agriculture Chief Economist Joseph Glauber, senior research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington. “I am not even sure what a commitment like this would mean since private importers [in Mexico] do most of the buying.”
