Trump is being a bully again.

A Harley-Davidson should never be built in another country-never! Their employees and customers are already very angry at them. If they move, watch, it will be the beginning of the end - they surrendered, they quit! The Aura will be gone and they will be taxed like never before!

Patriots, our liberty is being threatened by DISRESPECTFUL DEMS. Stephen Miller was CALMLY eating his breakfast of seeds and cracked corn out of a PUBLIC bird feeder this morning when RUDE liberals with NO MANNERS approached him and drove him away with a broom.

Make no mistake, patriots: This is a slippery slope. We are descending into a shameless society with NO SENSE OF DECORUM where people are being IMPOLITE to government officials quietly lapping up sugar water at a bird feeder just because they have DIFFERENT OPINIONS about whether or not MIGRANT children should be TREATED WITH DIGNITY. CRUDE DEMS think that just because they DISAGREE with Stephen Miller’s STRONG policies about PUTTING IMMIGRANTS IN PRISONS that they can barge into his PRIVATE BIRD FEEDER LIFE and stop him from nibbling on NUTRITIOUS millet.

This is yet another example of LOW LIFE liberals lacking any semblance of DECENCY or CIVILITY, and we can guarantee that the HYPOCRITE LYING MEDIA won’t be covering the DEPRAVED DISCRIMINATION that Stephen Miller experienced while attempting to CHOW DOWN on LOVELY GRAIN at a bird feeder.

It has never been clearer: We need to PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS AND BIRD FEEDERS from the DISGUSTING LEFT!

Mid Continent Nail Factory, one of the country's largest manufacturers of nails, has seen a 50% drop in orders since June 1st. This is because of the tariffs against Mexico Trump announced, and the Mid Continent Nail Factory gets it's material from (you guessed it) Mexico.

Since 2012 the company had doubled it's workforce. Over 60 employees were laid off, and the other 500 jobs are at risk. The economy is booming - thanks Obama - but this company is going to go out of business.

But it doesn't stop there. It steamrolls. SEMO Boxing - which provides the boxes to Mid Continent Nail Factory - has seen a huge drop in orders for boxes, and now they have laid off people. You can bet local transportation companies have seen a hit too, as well as local restaurants - you can't eat out if you are laid off.



The best part is.... They still support trump.

“I know what affects me, and the tariffs are hurting me on a daily basis — I’d like to see relief,” Coffer told NBC News. “I still have faith in the president. I believe he knows what he’s doing and can turn everything around for us.”

They just don't get it. Their company doubled in size under the Obama administration as we came out of the recession, but no worries, trump will fix everything.

Trump'''s trade war might close down America'''s largest nail factory — but workers remain diehard Trump fans

General Motors is warning the Trump administration that a proposed tariff could force the company to cut jobs and raise the price of cars, perhaps by thousands of dollars.
The warning came in a filing Friday with the Commerce Department.

The administration is considering a tariff on imported cars and car parts. GM (GM) imports parts for cars that it makes in the United States. It also imports some cars to sell in the United States.

"Increased import tariffs could lead to a smaller GM, a reduced presence at home and abroad for this iconic American company, and risk less — not more — U.S. jobs," GM said in the filing.

Of coarse GM doesn't like Trumps initiative, simply because it will cost them profit, by putting tariffs on imported cars and parts.

Has NOTHING to do with the well being of US workers.

Weeks later and still no response?

Everybody knows there are "trade tariffs on our goods coming into Canada", but not to the extent your Pres. states in the media, that he wants to put on aluminum and steel coming from Canada.

And his "negotiating" style, with his biggest trading partners, doesn't exactly create an atmosphere conducive negotiating anything.

I know that's his style, which is fine, but as I have already stated, I don't think it works well when dealing with countries, and most assuredly, it doesn't work well when "negotiating" with countries in the media.

PS: And happy belated Independence day Primo, and to the US.
