So tonight is the beginning of the destruction of Trump and the Republican Party.

Yeah, but I think your overselling the economic damage. At least right now.

Well maybe I overestimated the the damage to the GOP long term, but this definitely will hurt Trump a lot.

And the stock market is up the past two days.  We all have heard about all the stores that are closing but unemployment is at a record low and companies can't find people to work.  So, when exactly does the **** hit the fan?  Ever?

There is not a single economist from either side of the aisle that believes the US will come out of this trade war unscathed. The jobs report released this morning showed the unemployment rate ticking up to 4%.

And didn't your mother ever tell you that stock markets are not accurate indicators of economic growth?

The tick up to 4% was caused by more people joining the labor force.  It's not an unhealthy sign.

Fair enough, my first point still stands.

Classic Trump.

LOL.
Their very short press conference was nothing but them agreeing to continue to "talk."
All trump did was introduce some Senators and members of the House (why they were there, who knows), and then spout-out BS about how everything is great and dandy (about future negotiations and a continued agreement to discuss trade/tariff issues).
What the hell was that?

Just like the North Korea "deal".

That's how low the bar is. An accomplishment is now just talking...
