    derp......

    President Trump on Tuesday made the claim that a photo ID is required to buy groceries as part of his argument for introducing stricter voter ID laws.

    “You know if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card,” he said. “You need ID.

    The president made the comment while speaking at a campaign rally in Florida in support of GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis’s gubernatorial bid. It came as he was pushing for stronger voter ID laws, pointing to other instances where an American would need to show identification.

    Social media users were quick to jump on Trump's comment, with many suggesting that Trump has not purchased his own groceries in many years.

    i used to think that this was exactly the sort of gaffe would force his blue collar supporters to reflect on who it is they're so fervently supporting and how extremely out of touch he is with their day-to-day struggles.

    but i don't even have to watch the video....i have no doubt they were nodding their heads in agreement.

    if ever there was a cult of personality in american politics, this is it.

    Yeah. But it's inexplicable. Normally personality cults are based on people with attractive personalities and clever speeches.

    fuck, obviously not buying your own grocery should be regarded as a crime

    something like charged "for not colluding in a grocery store for more than 6 months"

    25% tariff on Chinese goods...pretty much kill Walmart....

    WASHINGTON — President Trump escalated his trade war with China on Wednesday, ordering his administration to consider more than doubling proposed tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25 percent from 10 percent, as talks between Washington and Beijing remain at a stand still.

    Trump's having conniptions now. Demanding the investigation is shut down immediately
    The closer he gets the more panicked trump gets. Wonder why.
    Surely if there was nothing there trump wouldn't be worried at all.

    BMW Builds X5 in Thailand to Counteract U.S. China Tariffs: CEO

    Aug. 2, 2018

    FRANKFURT — BMW's said it is producing between 10,000 and 20,000 X5 sports utility vehicles in Thailand as a way to supply Chinese customers now that imported vehicles from the United States face a 40 percent tariff.

    In spring 2016, BMW started building the X5 in Thailand and this plant is now capable of making a "significant portion" of the vehicles that would otherwise have been exported from its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina to China.

    "This is one action to counteract," Chief Executive Harald Krueger told analysts in a call to discuss the company's second-quarter results.

    More and more peaople are coming right out and saying Trump is mentally ill. Not as an insult or name-calling, but as a genuine belief.
    Here's the latest;
    "“They have exaggerated: I think President Obama, when he said you can keep your doctor under Obamacare no matter what, was not describing the truth, but I really doubt that he was deliberately fabricating. It really is hard to find instances. Maybe when George W. Bush said that there were weapons of mass destruction [in Iraq], one might call that a lie. Yet it was backed up by data from his own administration, by people under him who had massaged the information, and he probably believed it.
    “I think that, in Trump’s case, we have something that is qualitatively different. If he actually believes the absolutely falsifiable statements that he makes, then he is mentally ill. If he doesn’t believe it, he is deliberately lying. I don’t think in our history we’ve had any president who comes close to that.”"

    Someone needs to tell the citizens of spartanburg that life may get a little more spartan thanks to Trump. It sounds like the kind of place that would have a lot of Trump supporters.
