But it is nice to know that you are now spokesman for the business community.
Good to know you failed to read any of the links and misinterpreted my words. Kudos!

This speaks for itself.
No, you are refusing to pay attention to a whole lot of very smart people because they are going against Trump.

Neither you, nor I, know enough about this subject matter to ignore the opinions of those who have knowledge and skin in the game. But, you are doing just that. Defending your fearless leader with no idea what all this means, while simultaneously trusting Donald Trump, who has so far not earned any trust from anyone in the last 4 months.

You will get very weary defending him , because all this has yet to play out. And not looking so good, so far.

I actually listen when smart people talk, even if I do not like what I am hearing.

A school kid can cut & paste links googled up. It doesn't pass for argument. (except to those who don't have one)
Oh I apologize - I thought you would be able to deduce that I was reacting to your comment about the Business Insider saying that Trump wouldn't win.

I posted a few articles from that outlet where they reported on Trump likely to win.

I wasn't arguing with you at all. I was just surprised you hadn't seen all those other articles. That's all. I was just discussing.

So you still can't backup your allegations. Thought so.

You mean you hoped that by googling up some links, it would free you from having to explain how pulling out of Obama's horrible Parris "accord" would be bad for the USA.

So far you haven't managed to do so.

The ONLY thing that they think is bad is that it hurts Obama's "legacy". That is ALL they care about!

MAGA really means take America back to the last century. And with how fast the world of technology is moving, we will have a hard time catching up, much less be world leaders ever again. The cult is no doubt proud of the regression we are making under Trump.
Wrong, there aren't enough people who want to buy a $70,000 car, especially without a fat govt. subsidy to do so.
