Why not? Launch a trade war and pacify (payoff) your allies (voters) who put you in office.

:lol:

Although as it turns out, certain Democrats benefit too.

I'm not fan of Chuck Grassley but at least he leaves the USDA payments in his name. Most of the farmers around here put their farms into one or more corporation so they can somewhat hide who is receiving the payments.

Does this Free Market Capitalism qualify simultaneously as Socialism too...
Because it smells like some kind of sneaky Socialism

Meh. I didn't write the meme.

Obama got the ball on his own 1 yardline with 8 minutes to go and down by two touchdowns. He engineered a 7+ minute drive and used up all 3 timeouts. POOR CLOCK MANAGEMENT. Trump had to execute the onsides kick and Hail Mary to force overtime.
