Trump slams Fox News owner as network’s latest poll shows record-low approval rating

The poll found President Trump's approval is the lowest ever for a president after 100 days, beating the previous low from Trump's first term.

It's funny that the "King of Debt" thinks that the only reliable news source according to many here on the forum, Fox News, is not that reliable. Especially not if they publish something negative about him.

Certainly Vashper can have an opinion on those Russians he knows who’ve immigrated to Canada and the U.S.? No need to be offended, of course it’s better to live in the U.S. than Canada.

Canada ranks 5th in the world in quality of life where as America ranks 22nd. Canada has a long and proud military history including being in both world wars years before the America. Canadian volunteers took up the slack when 30000 Americans fled to Canada to dodge the draft in Vietnam. Canada has been the greatest neighbour and ally America has and if your boor of a president doesn’t do too much irreversible damage to relations will probably forgive and go on being so.
Probably best to stop shitting on your neighbours your president does enough of that already while his loyal followers stand around and excuse his behaviour as trolling as if that is proper behaviour for an elected official to partake in.

A bunch of Mexicans going into a mosque would be a dead giveaway.

Keep voting left and looking the other way Europe.

Unfortunately it’s not only Germany going down the drain. If the Leftists won the last Presidential election here we wouldn’t be far behind Germany. The difference being that our local Sheriffs have a lot of authority. And many would not enforce the Jack Booted policies. And we are armed to the teeth.

It’s frustrating living through it and watching it play out around you, the shortsightedness of the average voter is astounding.

It would be interesting to know if that merchandise is made in the USA or in China

China, of course. Get the big tariff bucks.

Totally agree.

We can blame Trump to a point but the conviction of the average Canadian voters must not be too strong.

 

[BSO Dave]

It states the view of Russians. I agree, here is a quote from Trump.

Well of course YOU would agree with the assertions of Russian propogandists... I would expect nothing less...

Trump to Neville Chamberlain: "Hold my beer."

Hmmm... I'm going to keep this one for a while and see how well it ages... My bet would be not well...

Looking from the outside when it first started, the backlash was pretty obvious to me as to how it was going to pan out....same as other things over there....you can get a better perspective sometimes looking from a distance and seeing how the different reports are going.....

Another one bites the dust....just as Donalds envoy arrives....

Senior Russian general killed by car bomb in Moscow

Authorities confirm the general, Yaroslav Moskalik, was part of the Russian delegation for the 2015 Minsk agreements.

The Chinese are so mad their having Pandas cook Bald Eagles, while listening to 1950's Mao songs!

Seriously though, these two men (One American, the other South African) combined have 25 years of experience living in China and their youtube channel is constantly attacked by Chinese bots for telling the truth about the state of affairs in China.

Very eye opening to see the CCP's propaganda called out and translated.

 

[Tanks]

China, of course. Get the big tariff bucks.

So, you are fine for paying extra for those hats. Once again, the importer pays the tariffs, not the originating country. Then, in most cases it gets passed on the customer.

I was at a Lexus dealer two days ago looking at the RX models with my girlfriend. Prices are already up for those that need to be ordered versus the ones on the lot. The color she wants needs to be ordered and it will be about $7K more than the one on the floor if we go for it. It is a tariff charge, not a color selection charge.

Been watching these guys for years. As an old hand in Asia, I'm familiar with the games China plays.

The naivety of the Trump loyalist consumer never ceases to both humor and sadden me. From whose pocket do they think all that tariff money is coming?!? The Chinese exporter doesn't pay except in lost business. It is the American consumer who pays it in added product cost.

I don't think you caught my trolling comment......but I certainly caught you.....LOL

Buy a car made in America, or wait until all the tariff and trade deals are finalized

The Russian propagandists at their version of 60 Minutes are always interesting. The host Olga Skabeeva and friends can't believe their good fortune. With respect to our international interests, I can't believe our misfortune.

We know exactly how tariffs work, we just don't continuously whine about it.

How much of that alternative is "made in America"? A Ford F-150 built at a plant in the US has just 32% American produced content. So, it also will go up in price dramatically. The CEO of Ford recently estimated $4-7K a unit depending upon bells and whistles. All that promised tariff revenue is coming right out of American consumer pockets and will hurt most those hourly wage earners and retirees who can least afford it. Sheer political genius.

How Much Of A Ford F-150 Is Made In America? - SlashGear

Plenty of vehicles aren't made entirely in the U.S. anymore, but for Ford's F-150, you may be surprised to find out the ratio of foreign vs. U.S. manufacturing.
