The Official Thread Dedicated to "Trump Winning"

[Hypocycloids]

From Rush's show:

Trump’s first year economic growth is now officially at 2.3%. In Obama’s first year, the economy shrank 2.8%. This is a 5.1% turnaround in economic growth, from minus 2.8% to plus 2.3%.

“U.S. Jobless Claims Have Now Dropped to a More Than 45-Year Low.” “Payrolls Continue to Exceed Expectations. Unemployment Rate Nears the Lowest Since Late 2000.”

President Trump’s approval rating has rebounded to its highest level since the 100-day mark of his presidency.. It’s a CNN poll conducted by SSRS. The interesting thing here is that Trump’s approval number in the CNN poll is up after the CBS 60 Minutes Stormy Daniels interview and the next-night replay on CNN.

The media is confounded and befuddled.


....and donations to the NRA Tripled After the Parkland Shooting.” This from CNN: “In January, the NRA collected almost $248,000 in individual contributions. In February, they collected more than $779,000.!!!

But Trump ******* a porn star is what we should be focusing on.

EPA poised to announce rejection of Obama vehicle fuel efficiency rules


The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is expected to use a Virginia car dealership on Tuesday as the setting to tout its rejection of the Obama administration’s landmark vehicle fuel efficiency rules, a move that could put automakers in the middle of a battle between the Trump administration and California.

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt plans to sign a declaration by Sunday that the Obama administration’s vehicle efficiency rules for 2022 through 2025 are “not appropriate” and must be revised, Reuters reported last week.

Pruitt is expected to speak at an event at a Chevrolet dealership in suburban Washington and will joined by groups representing dealers and automakers, according to people familiar with the plans.

Joe Biden gave a speech at the University of Miami last weekend and ripped President Trump for what Biden said was the way he treats women. Joe said in his teenage days, he'd have taken Trump behind the gym and beaten him up. The older Joe Biden gets, the tougher he was in high school.

The Stock Market Is Having its Worst Second Quarter Since the Great Depression
http://fortune.com/2018/04/02/stock-market-nyse-worst-second-quarter-depression/

If you feel like the second quarter has begun badly, you’d be right.

U.S. stocks are on track to have their worst April start since 1929, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The S&P 500 index slumped 2.4 percent as of 1:10 p.m. in New York, a rout exceeded only by its 2.5 percent decline 89 years ago, a prelude to the devastating crash later that year that brought on the Great Depression. (Back then, the index only comprised 90 stocks.)

China’s retaliatory trade tariffs combined with President Donald Trump’s criticism of Amazon.com Inc. to send equities into a tailspin Monday. Shares in the online retailer tumbled, encouraging a sell-off in consumer discretionary and technology stocks. The S&P 500 broke through its 200-day moving average — a key technical support — sending volatility higher.

The stock slide also looks pretty bad when compared to the beginning of other quarters. Equities are on pace to lose more than on any other quarterly first day since October 2011, when stocks plummeted 2.8 percent, Bloomberg data show.

Trump administration targets Chinese electronics, aerospace and machinery goods with $50 billion in tariffs
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...50-billion-in-tariffs/?utm_term=.c307df541cc7

In the latest move in a deepening U.S.-China trade conflict, the Trump administration made public a list of Chinese products it plans to hit with steep tariffs.<article itemprop="articleBody" class="paywall">
The 1,300 proposed tariff increases are designed to penalize China for policies that U.S. trade officials say put American companies at a disadvantage in the Chinese market. But business groups have warned they could backfire on U.S. companies such as Apple, Google, IBM and Dell.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

US-Mexico border will be guarded by military

President Trump said Tuesday the military would be guarding the U.S.-Mexico border until a border wall can be constructed and “proper security” put in place.

"We have very bad laws for our border and we are going to be doing some things, I’ve been speaking with Gen. Mattis, we’re going to be doing things militarily,” Trump said Tuesday before a working lunch with Baltic leaders. “Until we can have a wall and proper security, we are going to be guarding our border with the military. That’s a big step. We really haven’t done that before, and certainly not very much before.”

My posting here, or not posting here, is never an indication what's happening with this presidency. It's a ******* shitshow and has been nothing but a shitshow from the very beginning.

Illinois farmer on Chinese tariffs: ‘Our worst fears seem to be coming true’
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/04/il...-fears-seem-coming-true/#.WsPnP_LDJhk.twitter

By Greg Trotter Chicago Tribune

Brian Duncan, an Illinois hog farmer, had hoped the tough trade talk in recent weeks between President Donald Trump and China amounted to saber-rattling.

On Monday, he discovered otherwise, when the Chinese government imposed tariffs on 128 U.S. products, including pork and various fruits, in retaliation for Trump's previously announced tariffs on steel and aluminum.

"We were hoping it was just brinkmanship and cooler heads would prevail. But instead, some of our worst fears seem to be coming true," said Duncan, who's also vice president of the Illinois Farm Bureau. "This is significant, real and serious for rural America."

The tariffs could test Trump's popularity among farmers, many of whom voted for him and have since cheered his rolling back of environmental regulations. Tax reform was also well-received by many farmers, Duncan said, but the mounting trade war with China has them "darned worried."

In Illinois, pork producers that have increasingly come to depend on the Chinese export market, particularly for cuts of pork less desirable to American consumers, will be hit hard by the Chinese tariff of 25 percent on pork. Buyers in China could turn to other countries as a result. The trade restrictions also could have a ripple effect on corn and soybeans, the two largest crops in the state, as both are used in pork production, according to the farm bureau.

And there's also the looming fear that China eventually could impose a tariff on soybeans.

"We're definitely concerned. ... In the long run, we want to see the free movement of goods," said Austin Rincker, a fourth-generation farmer of corn and soybeans in Moweaqua, a central Illinois village just south of Decatur.

One out of every 3 soybeans grown in the U.S. is exported to China, largely to feed a rapidly growing hog industry for a booming middle class in China, said Rincker, who's also a board member of the Illinois Soybean Association.

That amounted to more than $14 billion in soybean exports to China in 2016, according to the American Soybean Association.

Illinois was the top soybean-producing state in 2017, with about $3 billion in exports, according to estimates from the Illinois Soybean Association. China is the largest export market for whole soybeans.

Pork exports to China are smaller, but growing. Nationally, more than $660 million in pork — including "variety meats" like ears, hooves and organ meat — was exported to China last year, according to Tamara Nelsen, senior commodities director for the state farm bureau. Because those products are sold to smaller-budget, price-sensitive Chinese consumers, the tariffs could hurt demand and therefore pricing, Nelsen said.

"It's a bit like taxing rice in Indonesia," Nelsen said.

This trade war comes at a tough time for U.S. farmers, who have seen net farm income decline by 50 percent since 2013.

In the past few weeks, the value of hogs has declined by about $20 a head on the commodities market, said Duncan, who also grows corn and soybeans on about 4,000 acres in Polo, Ill., about 115 miles west of Chicago.

Illinois pork producers have worked hard to build the export market for pork, Duncan said. The industry now supports about 10,000 jobs in the state.

Beyond the Chinese tariffs, Duncan said he's concerned about the fate of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which Trump has vowed to renegotiate. He said he would rather see the Trump administration try to improve trade with China and other countries with more dialogue and working through the World Trade Organization.

"We seem to have a 'ready-fire-aim' approach that's more disruptive," Duncan said.
