We know.   But this is the democrats fault.  100%. Kamala was a horrible choice for president.  Worst I have ever seen.  I'm supremely confident if she had been elected, this country would have continued down a path to self destruction.  I know you feel that's what we are getting now with Trump.   And I get your position.  But here is no way in hell I could have voted for her.

Obviously we disagree strongly about Kamala. But it’s a moot point. We have Trump, he is our President. I really do want him to succeed because I don’t want this nation to suffer. 
The first step is that the people around him have to talk him out of these tariffs. Other than Navarro, I know they know better. Both Musk and Lutnick are guys with deep knowledge of trade, there is no way they can think this is a good thing. They have to sit Trump down and get some sense into him before it’s too late.

Your analogy was to Haitian migrants, who lived where it was common to eat dogs, then coming to America. I'm talking about similar. So I'm not talking about a third generation American citizen with an Asian surname, racist.

Not my analogy, it was HT's.  You also don't know what generation my neighbors are.  I would highly doubt that people in my neighborhood eat pets, same way Haitians in Springfield don't eat pets either.

Besides all you said is that we don't allow Asians to live here.  Asians do live here.  Unless you think those surnames are white.

And that's twice you've called me racist for no reason.

If Haitians eat dogs or cats anywhere, that means it’s true that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, OH, are eating the pets.

You got played, you're a gullible low IQ person who can't admit they were wrong.

It was your analogy, in response to HT's statement that people in Haiti eat cats.  HTH.

Also I called you racist because you are calling Americans with Asian surnames "Asians."  I only noticed it because a few minutes ago I looked up two golfers of Indian ethnicity:

Akshay Bhatia (born January 31, 2002)^[2] is an American professional golfer. 

Sahith Reddy Theegala (born December 4, 1997)^[3] is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.

The first time you called me racist was because I wouldn't let asian people live in my neighborhood.

The second time was because I assumed a person with a last name of Wang is of Asian ethnicity.

You stand by both those statements?

We would be in a MUCH better position if Kamala won, IMO.  We wouldn't have a trade war, the economy would still be growing, govt would not be slashed, BUT republicans WOULD control both house and senate and have the ability to do what they wanted legally, then it would be up to Harris to veto or agree.  Govt the way it should work, instead of the chaotic dictatorship we have now.

Of course if you believe that the govt needs to be torn down and the US needs to withdraw from its allies and the world, well then you're getting what you want.

I'm 100% confident that Kamala would NOT have started a trade war, cut govt funding and laid off thousands, and that is the exact reason why the economy is tanking.

This is what I mean by too late: the other countries retaliate, and then Trump retaliates, and that’s how trade wars get started. Once they start it’s very difficult to stop because all parties have a lot of national pride and resentment which makes it very difficult for a nation’s leaders to back off (we already are starting to see this happening with Canada.) 

This isn’t fearmongering. It’s what happened in history almost every time tariffs are attempted as means to achieve some other goal. You can read books on Smoot Harley, or President McKinley in the 1890s- the results are always the same. But it’s not too late yet. Trump can back off right now, and it will be no harm no foul.

While you can argue over the rest of his points, it IS very likely that she would not have started a trade war. I don’t see how you can reasonably argue otherwise.

No I don’t think Kamala starting WWIII is a reasonable argument or in any way analogous to what Trump has done. She would have supported Ukraine and eventually Putin would have sought a peaceful end to the stalemate.
