1. Does WH stand for "Waffle House"? nt

[murielm99]

4. Good one!

May I steal it?

[ProudLib72]

6. Just popped into my head

Not that I support him backing out of NAFTA or NATO or ....

If you use it, I hope you do so in a place where trumpsters can see it!

[George II]

5. Is this the REAL trump tower?

[Grassy Knoll]

8. By George, I Think You Got It..

..

[underpants]

28. Stealing that too

[BumRushDaShow]

31. You win the thread!

[underpants]

27. Stealing that

[nycbos]

2. Who knew international trade could be so complicated?

That will be the next thing out of his mouth.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Of course he isn't. He never was.

He used the threat only as a means to try to convince Trudeau and Peña Nieto that his dick is bigger than theirs.

7. Since Terminating NAFTA Would Have

Partially drained the swamp we have always known terminating NAFTA was a false promise - one that Trump would never keep.

Another leg of that promise though was that it would result in jobs returning from overseas. That is now gone too. The jobs will stay in Mexico. The people that put Trump over the top just got a knife stuck in their backs. How will they react?

[SergeStorms]

24. They'll react.....

just the same as they have with all his other broken promises. Continued idolization of their cult leader, and they'll point to these three words; "at this time"! You see, he's GOING to get us out of NAFTA, just not within the first 100 days as he said he would. It's all Obama's fault he wasn't able to do it within 100 days. Those damned Democrats put all sorts of obstacles in his way to sabotage his MAGA juggernaut.

No biggie, he's just waiting for a time where shunning NAFTA will be at a greater advantage to the U.S. The Supreme Leader knows what he's doing. Trust the Supreme Leader. Love the Supreme Leader. All is well.

This won't phase them at all. They're cult members.

[underpants]

29. HE's white

You're right. The two factors in my subject line is all they care about.

[n2doc]

30. And they will blame congress and 'liberals' for it

They are blaming Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell for obstructing his mighty plans.

Good article on these folks

They live in a complete fantasy bubble.

[hay rick]

9. He obviously had another 10 minute talk with someone. nt

[fountainofyouth]

10. Q: Who's the President of the United States?

A: I don't know. Who's the last person Donald Trump spoke to?

[Historic NY]

14. Donald Trump..

[SunSeeker]

18. In this case, it was Justin Trudeau and Pedro Nieto.

Lawrence O'Donnell said tonight that Trump's NAFTA announcement came after telephone conversations with the respective leaders of Mexico and Canada.

[SergeStorms]

25. When you finally find out....

What NAFTA IS, what NAFTA DOES..........well, that's a whole new ballgame. Trump knew absolutely NOTHING about these treaties while he was on the campaign trail. He just knew that the right-wing populist POV was AGAINST NAFTA. But now that he's been FORCED to listen to the nuts and bolts, well......... it's a different story. Maybe NAFTA isn't so bad after all.

[tblue37]

26. Same with NATO. He now admits that when he said NATO was obsolete, it was because

he didn't know much about NATO.

He might not even be sure of the difference between NATO and NAFTA.

[truthisfreedom]

11. Loser.

[spiderpig]

12. He must have figured out a way to swindle money out of it.

Priorities, you know.

[Rorey]

13. Can't help but laugh

My husband voted for him because of his promise to "tear up" NAFTA. I broke the news to the husband that 45 lied to him. What a shocker!!! 45 has spent his entire life being a liar and cheater, but his idiot supporters didn't think he'd lie to THEM.

[cstanleytech]

21. What I still dont get is how people like your husband or my brother for that matter fell for Trumps

bullshit.
The man was born into wealth he did not have to deal with the struggle so many millions of other Americans have to deal with growing up that lack decent financial support nor did he have to struggle with being paid absurdly low wages and he has a history of screwing over people especially those he owes money to so why did so many people buy into his bullshit, its just a mystery to me.
Then again he isnt the first person people stupidly voted into office that turned out to be a wrong choice, another politician was elected in a similar manner in Germany back in 1933 and he to used alot of bullshit.

[not fooled]

22. He's an experienced huckster and TV personality

dump used those "skills" to pull off the con--convincing dimwitted 'Muricans he cared about them.

And of course, the corporate media by and large gave him a pass on all of his dysfunctional history and criminal past because he was good for ratings.

[Solly Mack]

15. and after listening for 10 minutes....lololololol

[SunSeeker]

16. This headline literally made me laugh out loud.

Well, at least nobody had to ride a stupid bus to a makeshift auditorium to get this news.

[videohead5]

17. It Can't Just Be Terminated

It would cause a bigger mess.we have got companies that depend on parts from Canada and Mexico that would have to stop production.produce would spike at your grocery. it must be renegotiated.I swear Trump is the biggest idiot I have ever seen.he had to be talked out of it or he would have done it.

[Honeycombe8]

19. Color me shocked! nt

[LeftInTX]

20. Wouldn't it require 2/3 of the Senate?

[murielm99]

23. I think that is right.

That is just one more reason so many of Trump's executive orders are meaningless. One cannot overturn laws by executive order. Many of the other things he tries to "order" out of existence are laughable when you look at the details.

Maybe that is not so bad. If he stays busy writing his name over and over, it keeps him from doing more drastic and destructive things.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. Drumpf and his minions refuse to get the fact that an E.O.

can only direct how federal agencies should carry out existing laws (in some cases, how far to enforce and/or how to enforce). But it cannot repeal those laws!

[pampango]

33. I don't think so. It passed with majorities in both houses as a law. It did not go the 'treaty route

and just get a 2/3 vote in the Senate. Like any law passed by congress and signed by the president, I don't think a future president can repeal it unilaterally (or Obamacare would already be gone ).

[Sunlei]

34. now that trump has 'learned' wisconsin produces more milk than entire of Canada think he will lower

price of milk for American consumers? Or how about remove government welfare subsidies for giant corporate factory farm 6,000 cow dairies to help smaller American farms with 200 cows?

Nope, t(R)ump Republicans only help Corporation-"farms" profit off American consumers.

[Javaman]

35. I thought I heard some popping. that must have been the heads over a freepland. LOL nt

[TomCADem]

36. Wus. Bernie Would Have Terminated NAFTA On Day One
