So Donny trots out another EO to hire and buy American with no teeth, and continues his governing by symbolism shtick. No matter that he BUYS all his ties and other Trump branded garments from China and Bangladesh. In addition CNN just reported he has HIRED over 1300 foreign workers at his Mar A Lago, rich boy estate.

How about walking it like you talk it Little Hands?

I've been working in federal government contracting/procurement for my entire career, 16 years.

Is Trump not aware that the Buy American Act of 1933 exists?

Apparently not.

"Like Keystone XL, Much of Dakota Access Pipeline Steel Made by Russian Company Tied to Putin."

Trump lied about this at a rally, claiming it was American made steel.

Yeah, that's one of the more disgusting things Trump has done, IMO. Promised to put "American steel workers back to work," and the Dakota pipeline would play a huge part in that.

Then he breaks his promise of using American steel and allows Russian steel to be used.

But Trump supporters will say nothing

He does this because he knows he has a mass of imbeciles who support him. He proved long ago not to be an honest man, and he has shown us how he gather's imbeciles to back anything he comes up with, and they will fight till their own death, to defend him. He has wasted more money in less than 100 days, and still these people want to kiss his feet.

All they have done is "INSULT" America, it is quite certain that the bulk of Right Winger, Trumpians are seeing by foreign nations as nothing more than a mass of bigots, racist, and every other type of vile and belligerent caption.

We look completely insidious on the International Stage, and every day Under Trump it is getting worst.

America has allowed this idiocy to go on for nearly 100 days, it proves to the world, that we not only elected a man that insults the nation and the world. We do absolutely nothing to remove him and his entire cabinet from office.
Right Wingers will never awaken to anything, and some of them, the only thing they care about is knowing that Trump supports their racism by his silence and the coded words he utters, along with his own obsession of trying to erase President Obama's work.

China will continue to grow, and eventually they will make their AIIB, ( Asian Infrastructure Investment Banks) Strong, and the Nation members support its growth, it will signal a downfall of American, and Republican will be standing back, saying "We did not see it coming" !!! that's the exact same words they uttered when Bush's Administration Crashed the System in 2007-2008.
No one in the more Liberal elements of society, believe anything that the Trump Administration promotes, because the wiser people who don't follow the crazy things he does is among the more liberal minded of people.
Evil is Evil, and Republican system have proven that time and time again; Its time for our congress to act, and maybe even kick out a few of those others whom are stuck in the past.

He also used Chinese steel to construct his casino in Las Vegas while on the campaign trail criticizing firms that don't buy American. Typical of his ilk - do as I say not as I do!

Does Trump plan to enforce this by executive order too? I have a 2005 Hyundai which has only had tires replaced. Before that I had an AMERICAN Saturn which needed a new Transmission after only 10,000 miles. Where is American Saturn today?

I had a Samsung Washer and Dyer for 10 years before we moved. Saw all those "Made in America" appliance stickers when I needed new ones in new home. What do I trust more? My own experience or those stickers? Bought the same Samsung I had before which served me very well.

Even take it down to produce. We lived in Florida for 10 years. Avocados. No comparison between Mexican and USA Florida Avocados. The latter were gross. Want me to pay a price for a "foreign" fruit which tastes BETTER? Yes, I will, Donald; same for better made car or washer and dryer.

Trump and his supporters, underestimate American consumers, and this Rah, Rah, USA, Push. People buy what works, and tastes, best for them. Cheaper crap fall apart sooner, and needs to be replaced. Is THAT Trump's ultimate plan?

And since he's doubled the fees at Mar-a-lago, he has zero excuse for not being able to afford wages high enough to attract American workers.

His ultimate plan is for him and his crime family to get more rich and famous at our expense.
