Trump going to El Paso is proof that he needs to be replaced.

He really is an insensitive jerk. There is nothing more to say, except one idea. If he had to go to El Paso, then he needed to shut up and listen. From what I read, he didn't do that. It shows what a real fool he is. He just cannot shut up and listen.

Tucker Carlson will never be back on Fox News. (my opinion)

Here is why. There must be some semblance of honesty there. To say, "White supremacy is a hoax" is such a boldface lie, that even Fox News will not accept it. While most of us never believed that there was a line at Fox news, I guess there is. A boldface lie that everyone knows is a lie is that line. And with that lie, Tucker is gone. I do not think he will return to Fox News. The network puts liars on vacation, gives them a lot of money, and then sort of fires them. That is what I believe will happen. To be honest and clear.....I don't know nothing, Tucker could be back after the vacation is over, but I do not think so

El Paso asked Trump not to come, perhaps Texas will remember that next election day.

It is clear that El Paso does not want Trump's visit today. Perhaps Texas will remember that a city in Texas did not want Trump to visit because its people were grieving due to a shooting there. Trump went anyway.
Think about that if you will. Someone goes to a city where there have been multiple deaths, and most the people do not want that person there for very obvious reasons. So, that person goes anyway. That is very mean. Why do something that mean? If Trump runs for reelection, the people of Texas need to remember that on election day.

So, Trump thinks he can win a "Trade War"? No one wins a "Trade War"

Certainly not the country with a high standard of living and expensive high quality products. In the 50s, I recall some Japanese products: cheap transistor radios. But when VW started importing cars, and Honda and Toyota did the same, there was a problem. Hondas and Toyotas lasted 200,000 to 250,000 miles, and cars made here lasted 80-90,000. Gradually the word got out, and guess who sells the most cars now? Why? See last sentence. Yes, the reputation of those foreign cars continues even though they are made here.

..Trump is so stupid that he thinks he can win a "Trade War." The stock market understands. Tomorrow will be worse, but that is a prediction. Who knows? Except the in the end, nobody wins a trade war. It hurts everyone. Trump wants to take the emphasis away from his mouth that caused the killings. Yes it was his mouth. But, "Stupid Trump" could cause a major recession in the U.S.A. and elsewhere. Still, I hope the market doesn't crash tomorrow. But we will see, and of course, I could be wrong. I am wrong a whole lot of the time, and not afraid to admit it. So, I never thought Trump would be where he is. And I hope I am wrong about the stock market tomorrow.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
