"Trump refuses to sensor Russia for interfering in the election, because while it may have hurt America, it helped him. And even though these new tariffs will likely cost the U.S. over 140,000 jobs (according to the conservative Heritage Foundation), he will not repeal them because it makes him look strong to his base. Other countries have figured this out have openly bribed the President to get foreign policy decisions they need. The President can be successfully engaged, and countries like Ukraine, China, and Qatar have demonstrated that. When they want something from the United States, they skip the State Department and even the White House staff. Instead of approaching their problems state-to-state, they go state to man. These countries focus on what Trump wants on a personal level - to enrich his family. So Beijing granted Ivanka trademarks, Qatar invested in one of Jared's office towers and Ukraine, with Slavic candor , simply wired half a million dollars to the President's personal lawyer Michael Cohen." That is right moron. It is about the money.

"Canada is debating enacting the Magnitsky Act, (Foreign Corrupt Officials Act ), which permits Canada to sanction public officials who are "complicit in ordering or otherwise directing acts of corruption". In the case of Trump we already have several open examples of this and the various ongoing criminal investigations (of his own government) are expected to produce many more." This could take the form of a special tax on current Trump family operations, freezing of assets, and sanctions against senior staff. Canada could add a tax to Trump properties equal to any tariff unilaterally imposed by Washington. The EU could revoke any travel visas for senior staff and the UK could close his golf course.

A classic from SI member <kapex> <Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said she wanted to be President someday. Both of her parents, Democratic Party members, were standing there so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied.. "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride! "Wow… what a worthy goal!" I said . . . "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" "What do you mean?" she replied. So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house." She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her parents aren't speaking to me anymore. Most Democrats will just delete this, I guess the logic escapes them> Message 31673830
