Gotcha!
Well, lookie right here. Trump is firing the people who got him elected.
80% of the community of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, voted for Trump. The new tariff’s are going to put 500 of them out of a job.
The company says that in the past they were able to fight the Chinese imports by filing dumping charges, but oops …
After doing all this, this administration comes in and slaps on this tariff and is able to do something that the Chinese were never were able to do; which is put this company on the brink of extinction,” he accused.
Another one bites the dust.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
Incompetent!
Incompetent fool, the oath was to protect the country, not your gold plated @$$!
1Trump said he was going to save jobs and bring jobs back.
2Did he lie????
Really?
This guy is so bad that I am beginning to wonder if either of his parents died a natural death.
3Try as I might, I can’t find it in my heart to have any sympathy for those fools who voted against their own best interests,
4With a population of 17,023 (2010 census), that 500 families who will lose their income is very significant.

5@maggie – Perhaps his mother would have drowned him at birth had she’d known he going to be a putz.
6It’s a hard lesson to learn, but at least they’re not blaming Democrats for their problems with Trump. I hope they can spread the word to other like-minded voters that voting for Trump was a big mistake, for whatever reason they did it. Now if they would just stop listening to Fox News. . .
7He says that 80% of the people there voted for Trump and in the next breath he says they are losing their jobs through no fault of their own. They want credit for electing the SOB and now they want us to believe they are not responsible for electing the SOB. Karma is not on their is not on their side.
8Three days ago I met a woman who enthusiastically told me she LOVES Trump. I was aghast and pretty much speechless. Really…speechless! I was so shocked I couldn’t say much of anything. (I don’t generally move in those circles but I was buying propane for my travel trailer.) She also gushed at how the economy is booming.
On the other hand, she said property taxes were going up so much on her 2.5 acres that they would probably drive her out. (Guess she isn’t part of the 1%.)
Shortly thereafter we both decided to move on to other subjects.
9If the election were held as a do-over today all of those who voted with Trump would still vote for Trump.
They will not believe their current misfortune is Trump’s fault. They will blame Hillary, the Democrats, George Soros, the deep state, or even someone who doesn’t even exist (like Mr. Democratic Obstruction) before they admit they were conned hook line and sinker.

Trump’s Tariffs Are Causing Cascading Layoffs in Missouri https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2018/06/26/trumps-tariffs-are-causing-cascading-layoffs-in-missouri
11Between this, Harley-Davidson and the trump-voting farmer who’s stuck with a quarter-million dollars worth of soybeans, I broke the Sad Trombone.
12I don’t feel sorry for them. It’s the only way they’ll learn. It has to get bad enough for them, and that may mean Really Bad. No job, No health care, No food stamps, No home, No transportation.
13ABSOLUTELY no sympathy for them. At. All.
14AMEN, Karen. Voting has consequences and these dumbos are feeling them. Cry me a river, you idiots. When are you going to wake up and stop voting against your own self interests? Booga, boogie, brown people will get you only so far and then it starts to hurt big time.
15So let’s see, the population of Poplar Bluff is 17,023.
Almost 1/3 of them will become the primary losers here. And how many secondary losers will follow?
OK, so they can’t go out to eat — and restaurants in this small town lose.
No movies for them — and theaters lose.
They will buy fewer groceries — probably begin frequenting soup kitchens. And grocery store revenues drop.
When their cars need work, they’ll put it off. And car repair shops lose.
They certainly won’t buy cars. Or new homes. So so much for those industries.
They won’t take vacations. Gasoline revenues and the surrounding motels and recreational parks lose.
The list just keeps growing and the ripples just keep getting wider.
Thank you pResident tRump.
16I wonder if the former factory workers and the people in all the surrounding ripples will hold their noses and vote for a Democrat come November.
I rather doubt it.
But maybe they’ll at least stay home?
