US Politics, March 2018: Why do people leave the White House for good?

Breaking news: the insentient cassette tape currently sitting in as our president contains a new message after someone recorded over the previously-recorded message. More at 11.

Taped over the piss tape with another piss tape.

I know better than to do this but President Piss Tape Loop appeals.

So he has Melania sitting beside him and he puts his hand on Pence's knee. OK.

"I'm sorry to have to break this but I've met someone else..."

Wouldn't you?

When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win. Example, when we are down 00 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don’t trade anymore-we win big. It’s easy!

We must protect our country and our workers. Our steel industry is in bad shape. IF YOU DON’T HAVE STEEL, YOU DON’T HAVE A COUNTRY!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 2, 2018

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

why is steel more important than any other industry?

Someone's copy editing those tweets

Is "trade" just a word in his head with no connection to the $100bn of actual stuff that comes in and ends up in eg shops where people can buy stuff? Does he think everyone gets everything from the black market, not just guns? I don't even know why I wonder questions like this about him.

before he fixed the spelling

even a broken clock etc

I'm sure I've said this before at some point but if he signed an executive order to cancel SNL I'd go campaign for him tbh

lol "alex baldwin"

he's such a great businessman, I'm sure he's got this

Wait, what about coal? Don't forget about coal! No coal, no Coal Country!

Wait, what about big? Don't forget about big!

things without which you don't have a country

coal
steel
tv
wall
hair

It's easy!

Donald Trump genuinely has no understanding of or interest in the systems which underpin this or any other country. As long as his Fox News and his Twitter and his taco bowl deliveries continue unabated, it's aaaaaaall good.

so relatable

so if we're getting steel from the other countries, doesn't that mean that THEY don't have a countries?

AND that we have their steel?

so that we DO have a country?? AND steel???

i was never any good at economics or breathing

Does the US have a strategic steel reserve? We should!

Sure we do. I mean, it feels right. Why not.

we should built a vault and store all the steel in the world in it. then charge people to take their pictures with it.

vault should be wall-shaped and extend along border w Mexico

he'll change his tune once he realizes this guy's black

"did i say Steel? i meant The Eradicator"

someone tell him christopher steele isn’t just a name, he’ll change his mind right quick

I can't believe our dilemma is real
Prez Trump is tweeting bout the trade of steel

we want an america that's american, not a second-rate canada

based on the "last thing he heard" principle i suspect we can get the tariffs lifted again by piping in some Devo and suggesting that many people in Akron are saying we should twist away the gates of steel

"trade wars are good, and easy to win. Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don’t trade anymore-we win big. It’s easy!"

ohhhhhh my fucking god the depths of this man's idiocy still continue to astound

Since CD-RWs often eventually degrade and quit working altogether, I spend my days hoping that the CD-RW equivalent of a human brain does likewise. Looking forward to presidential statements that sound like Oval tracks.

trade wars are good, and easy to win
trade wars are good, and easy to win
trade wars are good, and easy to win
trade wars are good, and easy to win
trade wars are good, and easy to win
trade wars are good, and easy to win
trade wars are good, and easy to win

they get cute, don’t trade anymore-we win big.

Game theory!

If you get to keep all the goods that you're exporting that is a bonus isn't it?

Sure. You can just go swimming through the oceans of surplus like Scrooge McDuck. Winning!

Real wars are good and easy to win too. When they not looking, shoot at them-we win big.

The Pence thing is interesting. I interpret potentially as attempted dominance behavior from someone who knows what a homophobe he is, which makes me ask how Pence may be threatening Trump at the moment.

dude

his brain is leaking out through his ears

blended haircut might help with that
