This isn’t a trade war against China and the rest of the world. It’s an economic war against working class America.

I really think the reason behind ALL of the screw ups financial, and diplomatic, in the Trump admin is that he truly, truly doesn’t understand friendships or human interaction. It’s all, everything, a result of his personality disorders.

Beware the death spiral

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

Exactly.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Yet again, the President demonstrates what all keen observers know: He is nothing more than a schoolyard bully. And like schoolyard bullies everywhere, that means he's fundamentally a chicken who will cave when his victims push back. I hope university presidents are watching.

Those who say that the libs just want redistribution of assets: This is what that looks like in the hands of republicans.

THIS. This is great, creative, and wait for it, funny.

The millions of people who are stating how much they are losing in the markets is a pretty good indicator that America has prospered under our trade agreements.

Can I just say that I am kind of stunned at the speed at which it has become acceptable, and common for “bad words” to be used on not just the internet but everywhere, in recent months? Mainstream newscasters no longer use substitutes for swear words, gov. spokespersons, high office-persons too.

Just want to say I am encouraged by the people who turned out for the Hands Off protests. The love and solidarity I felt was a tremendous boost. If it’s true that it was close to 5M nationwide, let’s not lose this momentum! Keep it going, keep showing up, keep making your voices heard.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Imagine being so hated that people all over the country march in the streets to say how much you suck.

The good old days…

At some point he’s gonna get tired of saying this.

My favorite signs from the #handsoff protest posts today. A thread.

Hands off! Proud of you Longmont!

Ever read one of those romantic novels about the gilded age and dream of living like the rich in the manor house—all while knowing you’d actually be the scullery maid?

I want to laugh. Why am I crying?

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

I’m kinda sad that now I’ve retired and when I have amassed 600K air miles and a new passport, now I probably won’t be very welcome in any foreign country due to NO FAULT OF MY OWN. (Also much less money for travel.)
