I love how he thinks he's smarter than the dumb news guy, who spent twenty years as a reporter and editor at The Economist, and then was the editor-in-chief of The Economist for nine years before his current nine year run as EIC at Bloomberg.
Trump also seems to be under the impression that once all these companies re-shore their manufacturing to avoid tariffs, they'll go back to selling their product at the same price as it was when they could do it in China, so it'll be great.
Truly, I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder to be British than I am today. 👏👏👏👏👏 to John Micklethwaite. Yorkshire name, Yorkshire nature: clearly calls a spade a spade.
"calling him “a man that has not been a big Trump fan over the years.”"
Just once, ONCE, I would like one of these spineless interviewers to look him in the eye and say, "why do you always refer to yourself in the third-person? are you schizophrenic? is "Trump" in the room with us now?"
What I want to know is, where did they get those idiots who kept cheering for him? Doesn't belonging to or visiting "the Economic Club of Chicago" imply that you have some sort of elemental understanding of, you know, economics? And if you do, how can you possibly fail to realize that this guy has the mind of a child?
Foreign companies will build factories instantly in the US if tariffs go up is yet another chapter in the giant book called Donald Trump Doesn't Understand Logistics. He was a real estate developer, yet apparently has zero understand about how things are built.
I try not to think about it, you know, Thinking of how Trump pisses me off. He's absolutely malevolent. I am as close to absolutely hating this dick than I have ever hated another "human"
I thought it was downright refreshing -- for the few minutes I could stomach watching it -- to watch a real journalist asking questions that were at least SOMEWHAT on point.
Maybe because the moderator/interviewer was British, and therefore not inculcated with the idea that you're supposed to coddle conservatives, but at least he had the courage to say things like, "That's not what we're talking about right now", and "That's not what that word means". Perhaps it was too little too late -- but after nine years of watching journalists lick his taint* and fluff him* with softball* questions like, "Why are you so awesome, your Majesty?", it was like a cool refreshing breeze.
*Sorry for three blow job references in the same sentence.
i mostly remember micklethwaite as being editor of the economist. i feel like someone told trump to be as rude as possible to the urbane british guy who used to work for a free trade rag.
“In fact, there’s another theory,” Trump said, before presenting exactly the same claim he just made: “The tariff, you make it so high, so horrible, so obnoxious that they’ll come right away.”

Really, you can't even with stupidity like this.
Ta, Dok. We must defeat Cheatolini (yes, I used to spell it Cheetolini) and all his minions by getting out the vote and voting.

PLEASE keep calling the bastions of the Old News terrible wrong mean poopyheads, Turnipbrains.
Maybe they'll finally stop sanewashing you in reciprocation.

Isn't the Chicago school of economics fairly conservative leaning. I mean not as libertarian as the Virginia school, but still fairly conservative.
yes
Wharton not sending us their best.
You figure about 15-20%? of Wall St people with an MBA went to Wharton...this dude giving the whole alumni base a bad name.
The PAB doesn't even have an MBA. He only got his BA.

Dick Jokes are not exclusive to Evan.
Someone has to do it, apparently.

So, "negging" an entire country?
Somethin' ain't right about that boy.
Why don't the Rs see that THE SAD LITTLE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES!!!!
Aren't they tired of Naked Orange Emperor? Because I sure am.
They will be tired of him after November 5th.
My offer still stands that the first newspaper that has some variant of that phrase in a headline wins a 1 year subscription from me.
(Wonkette already has a forever subscription from me on Paypal.)
and sadly, we're not seeing a "beautiful body"
