The first casualties of US President Donald Trump's trade war are 60 workers at Mid-Continent Nail, America's largest nail manufacturer. They lost their jobs on June 15 at a factory in a part of Missouri that voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The whole company could be out of business by Labor Day.

Well ain't that a shame.

I've said for decades that stupid is supposed to hurt, but dammit, I hate seeing American jobs get sent to a foreign country...even "menial labor" types of jobs like making nails.

This is unlikely to change the political views of the laid-off workers...and will probably push them deeper into the fold.

The beatings will continue until morality improves.

FUCK YES!!! Errr FAKE NEWS!!!! We're adding 2 million jobs every week, not losing jobs!!!! FUCK YES MAGA!!!!

 

[OWR88]

No no no, fake news. We are adding new coal miners by the truck loads. We will soon build iPhones in the Bible belt.and everyone will be rich with little taxes. So much winning!

 

[trenchfoot]

Somehow the Democrats are going to be blamed for it.................................again. With "obstruction" being the disparaging cuss word of the month for Trump, I guess that's as good a reason as any.

Not only that but Trump is also mistaking the taxpayers of the nation for Mexicans because he's demanding that we, the taxpayers pay for His Wall when he said over and over and over and over again the Mexico was going to pay for His Wall.

So at the least if he's going to do that, he should specify that only the folks who voted for him should pay for His Wall because nobody else wants it except Trump and his thoroughly misguided bamboozled cult followers.

I was digging around and found an article from 2011, when we added a fuckload of mining and oil jobs, smack dab in the middle of the alleged shitty Obama economy.
At what point do Trumpettes acknowledge the guy is just a loud dumbass who doesnt actually know how to fix problems?

I don’t wish unemployment on anyone but starting a trade war is one of the few things Trump promised during the campaign that he wasn’t lying about. This sort of thing was entirely foreseeable.

If voting for this guy costs them their livelihood and that makes them want to vote for him even more then it’s hard to see what could possibly reach them. Sometimes people are just too far gone.

Republican Medicaid cuts will reach them. In an actuarial sense...

Yep, and thru that pain they will either vote differently and admit they were wrong, or they will die from diseases that were either curable/preventable if they only had insurane.

Their call.

This seems appropriate for world cup season.

I love how people think trade wars are painless and Easy to Win!™

They'll reach more people than that. Justice for a relatively few fools is no excuse for the misery that it inflicts on many more.

Yep, in any case, I don't really care, do you?

That's unfortunate problem, but inflicting pain on Republicans is part of the solution.

They've been told that all of their misery and pain is the Democrat's fault, that Trump is fixing it and that's all they needed/wanted to hear. Their reaction of course is "I knew it, I knew it all along!"

Bots got'ta do their bot thing.

There's no satisfaction in that POV. We can't allow ourselves to see that as a good thing. We merely join the race to the bottom.

Inflict pain on those who vote to inflict pain. I certainly find that POV satisfactory.
