Yeah I mean every other world leader knows it's fraudulent on its face. But... I dunno., If I was Merkel or Trudeau or any of them, I'd be going 'jesus, if this is what they're going to elect, it's really time we started looking to ourselves because they can't be relied on ever again.'

As problematic as it would be, a small part of me wants them to call it and just cut him out. Dropped from the G7, cut off from trade, the works, and just let him spew his crap into the wind with no-one left to abuse. But no, half-assed  will win out and the pissbaby will have to wait even longer to learn about consequences.He'd probably just blame the democrats (or clinton, since she's such a great bogeyman for his base) anyways.

Being outside of his immediate influence, it wouldn't effect me quite as badly or as quickly, which is why I can entertain such thoughts. Short of him causing the balloon to go up, I'm comfortably insulated from the bulk of his insanity. So, if trade stops, would that be enough to get people off their asses to remove him from office? Because if thats the case, maybe that is what needs to happen.

This would require republican voters to believe (senator / state Rep name) over Donald Trump and not vote out (senator / state rep) immediately after. So, it would require voters to blame Trump instead of Obama, Clinton, ISIS, every other thing it could be spun into. Until then the elected GOP have only shown that they are completely willing to abandon any/ all principles both personal and conservative if that doesn't endanger their re-election.

Like most extreme policies, if enacted, the requisite beauacracies will all shudder and delay acting until they have requisite specific guidance. Director of huge policy will get distracted and an extremely watered down version will be enacted eight years from now and nobody will really know why.

Hey it would be like remember that Chinese emperor who decided to keep China great and since China didn't need or want nothing from the rest of the world he ordered all ships burned and all borders sealed and since he was Emperor it got done, then China rocketed straight to the top of every chart and totally didn't get left behind developmentally or anything? That's the kind of poo poo that can get done when you're an emperor and don't have to deal with rules.

That was Japan, and it was at the start of the Edo period through Nelson's forced entry.

Closed their borders, burned their ships, and went back to a very traditional way of life that left them behind everyone else. Edit: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...f-a7612276.html It was the Ming dynasty. It's one of the few things I remember from my college history classes.

Nah, he means the Jingtai Emperor who -- after his brother got captured by the Mongols -- decided to reinforce the Great Wall of China and let the Imperial navy rot. The same navy that was launching 400' treasure ships out into the Indian Ocean about 20 years before.

Eh they had treasure ships but they weren’t 400’ as there weren’t wooden ships anywhere close to that size until the 1800s and those were steel reinforced. If they did have anything over 200’ they didn’t ever take it out of the rivers because the open ocean would have wrecked them. The engineering skills of humans just weren’t capable of ships of the purported magnitude and the ships supposedly over 400 feet are myth more than history.

I finally understand. He thinks that 100billion that Canada makes through trading with the US comes directly out of the USA's pockets, instead of being part of the natural flow of cash in a trading economy. He really is that loving stupid.

This NYT article does a good job of explaining what a trade deficit is and why it's a dumb yardstick. And also why the dollar as the world's preferred currency means the US almost always runs a trade deficit. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/06/09/upshot/what-is-the-trade-deficit.html
