    Private Bonespur's giddy combat-mongering prepared the nation.

    Eschewing the cautionary admonishments of experts, his pollyannish bellicosity supplanted both those of Sun-Tzu, Clausewitz, and Thucydides, as well as the dismal verities of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Ludwig von Mises.

    "TRADE WARS ARE GOOD,
    AND EASY TO WIN!"
    What Churchillian confidence sustains such dashing bravura?

    "I understand money better than anybody!"
    The latter-day Edward R Murrows of the green eyeshade set are reporting from the trenches:

    Manufacturing Index Slumps to Decade Low as Trade War Hits US Factories

    The billions of U S taxpayer dollars being assigned to decimated farmers under Trump's newly-created welfare system are a feature of his soviet-style Big Government central economic planning, of course.

    There is plenty of blame for the self-effacing warrior to delegate like a blistering tuber.

    This is linked on Drudge today.

    Whatever happened to Trump’s boast of 4%, 5% or even 6% growth?

    Feel free to ignore the prefatory background quotations, and address the sampling of headlines.

    or

    Honk if you just like Trump and his Trade War.

    That's the greatest (and only) compliment you've paid to me. But, alas, not one I deserve as Natty's flare for exposing your foolishness with wit and wisdom far exceeds my own.

    Dow plunges as Trump tries to pin ‘impeachment nonsense’ for Wall Street rout
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi...an-points-wall-street-extends-october-losses/

    President Trump blamed the volatility on “all of this impeachment nonsense, which is going nowhere.” In a tweet midday Wednesday, he insisted the inquiry was “driving the Stock Market, and your 401K’s down. But that is exactly what the Democrats want to do. They are willing to hurt the Country, with only the 2020 Election in mind!”

    While Trump hysterically tweets about his "spies!" and "traitors!", his disastrous trade war wreaks havoc upon the nation.

    Hmmm, Clinton wagged the dog when his Oval Office blowjobs dribbled down the front of the blue dress, Bush I and Bush II were quick to pull the trigger, Obama bragged about droning people out of existence and now our liberals/progressives/socialists/communists are calling Trump the war monger president?

    He's a lot of things, but he's certainly been more Tulsi-like in his restraint than his corrupt predecessor ever was:

    It's just that you're being so..... predictable.

    Bad Republican = neocon or some such nonsense, while Good Democrat = military restraint or reluctance; it's all so rehearsed, rehashed...

    Stereotypes are so 1990s, Natty. The times, they are a changing.

    If you are incapable of dealing with the manifest disastrous consequences of Trump's disastrous "easy to win" trade war, I understand.

    Glad you mentioned the MSM. They deserve our undying thanks for the incredible work done to expose Capt. Chaos' illegal, corrupt, buffoonish behavior. Three cheers for the 5th estate for telling the truth about the real enemy of the people....the Orange Fraud.

    I remember in grade school when we would make up names for other youngsters. I grew out of it. Some people, apparently, never do.

    If you need to cover your ears and go "la-la-la!" when economists explain the harm that your messiah's "easy to win!" trade war is inflicting, and ignore the ravages on various segments of the US economy caused by it, that is what you must do.

    Ask yourself what America will look like if China wins trade war or we give in.

    Trump may be one of just a few politicians who will not give away the store when negotiating with foreign countries on trade. He is doing so much for our country compared to the last bumbling neophyte. The MSM should be ashamed because they refuse to give Trump credit for anything good.
