    American domestic industries are paying 50% more for steel than ANY of America's competitors in the global marketplace.
    Yep that sure is a smart move. How much are wages going up these days? How big a bump was the tax cut? Kiss it and more good bye with higher prices for cars, appliances, machine tools, and the myriad other products dependent on steel.

    Congresses job. I understand your confusion. Trump just undid terrible Obama EOs that weren't law. Btw if you are healthy and young, choice is a great improvement.

    Compulsory health insurance is a tax on the young and healthy. However, that's what most countries do to hold down prices.

    Now prices will increase.

    Exactly - which means, I do not have a problem, you do.

    Bullshit, my friend - Liberals name-call, not Conservatives.

    Indeed. And Democrats are very unhappy about, for their agenda was only in the words, never meant to be enacted.

    When?
    Why haven't they already?
    What is this magic trigger?
    Where is the equilibrium between what the Obamacare projected increases were and your prediction for Trump's health policy reversal?

    Trump is a RU puppet, Vlad wants so much more comrade.
    The notorious RBG will get to see the RU puppet go down for treason prior to retirement.

    Yippa.

    Then you didn’t read it very well or were lied to. The link you finally posted about it does not talk about nudes, but you doubled down anyway. Here is what pictures were sold and when they were taken(from your own link):

    “The former model earned royalties through a deal with Getty Images, in which a wide range of media outlets used some of the 187 exclusive photos taken by photographer Regine Mahaux between 2010 and 2016, NBC News reported Monday.

    Many of the almost 200 photos show the first lady and the president before his successful bid for the White House, as well as their son, Barron. Others include glamorous shots of the first lady posing by a pool and playing tennis with Barron, as well as lavish pictures of their home in New York City.”

    Is the word nude in there? No? Then you’re peddling fake news. Is the word nude anywhere in your link? Nope.

    In other news, Trump has announced we are no longer going to Mars because he and Melania went there last week in the Tesla Elon Musk orbited some months ago. When Musk and several thousand scientists, physicists and first grade teachers said that was utterly impossible Trump said they were engaged in a plot against him arranged by the Chinese. Scott Pruitt has called for an investigation as to why an electric car was used instead of a traditional American gas powered auto and is arranging to fly there himself with his family and an entourage of several hundred all first class at the earliest opportunity

    Speaking of suckers - Share Blue Media?

    Can any of your alt-left sources prove that telephone call between the CEO of US Steel and the President didn't take place?

    OK... what would you say if somebody could? Would it change your attitude on Trump? Would you state he told a lie?

    The United States Steel Corporation has formulated plans for the improvement of plant and equipment which will call for the expenditure of upward of $15,000,000 on three developments alone, according to a statement issued by Elbert H. Gary, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

    You mean, Could a, should a, would a?

    If it was proved no such phone call took place, obviously the only conclusion would be that the President lied.

    That's not a hard question.

    So, rather than the tortured path through wildly biased sources dangling carrots in front of it's target audience, how about some real proof that phone call didn't take place?

    The SEC would have a fit.......

    Meanwhile, Libya has just declared force majeure.. and 850,000 barrels are off the market. Libya has stopped pumping gas. That's about what the Saudis agreed to increase production.

    It's enough proof that Trump has a reputation as a blatant liar and that US Steel refused to confirm that such a call took place.

    Trump's followers are fantasizing and calling their fantasies facts.

    $ 15 million is very little money to spend on such a facility.

    Just wanted to know if it was worth my effort to get just one supporter to admit he lied.... obviously, I cannot prove something didn't happen from my couch, but it would be very easy for US Steel to confirm a call and they won't do it, which speaks volumes to me...
