I guess Fox didn't air the meeting where Trump said he would proud to shutdown the government and would own it. Then he did. Then he turtled and pointed fingers at someone else.

America produces something like 4 times more milk than it consumes. American farmers were selling all that excess milk at far below cost to make it just to get rid of it. Trump tried to make Canada seem like a bad guy for not opening up their markets to american dairy farmers and criticizing some 300% tariff on dairy products, not realizing that the reason they had to put that high a tariff on it was because American dairy farmers were trying to dump all that excess milk in other markets at far below cost, and 300% was how high the tariff had to be just to get the price of the milk back up to market price.
It's funny that Trump would criticize China for "dumping" cheap products like this, but when America does it, he's angry that a product has to be tariffed 300% just to get it back up to a regular US price.

canada has a supply limit that's set each year and that tariff is only applied to things over that limit so the canadian market also doesn't flood with shit it doesn't need. so its not even like canada was doing it in bad faith, its just going "we're buying what we need and if you wanna give us more than we need we'll take it but expect to be taxed because it will more than likely be thrown out and not sold"

When Mitch McConnell won't even let a budget that passed the House come up for a vote in the Senate, it is pretty clear who is "blocking". Even if we have representative democracy instead of direct democracy, votes happening at some point is pretty vital to the process.

Yes Tammy. Because you and yours continue to give breaks to trillion dollar banks. Because you and yours continue to let mega-globalist-coprorations like Monsanto illegally hire and import 3rd world shitskins causing prices to drop far below that required to make any profit. Because you and yours continue to push efficiency and low prices at the cost of jobs and worker's pay which further ruin the economy.
protip: low cost and efficiency ruin economies

So tariffs are costing american companies billions in extra costs. they're losing money because the shit they imported from china costs more. also, the chinese have put tariffs on their products, so because it now costs more for chinese to import their american products, they're buying a lot less of them (almost 60% of the market, GONE for soybeans) so they lose money there. WAIT IT GETS BETTER! because they're losing so much money, now the government is stepping in and giving them welfare checks paid for by the american taxpayer to try to keep their failing businesses afloat.
so all around it's like america is trying to find out how many different ways it can lose out economically.
this is the genius of trump, the master negotiator.
