Replying To TheFlaker:  "I wasn't debating who is imposing more tariffs. Trump literally doesn't understand how they work. He has been caught on camera numerous times in recent interviews clearly not understanding how they work and how they affect American consumers."
For some reason the one reply where I agreed with you wasn't posted.

You're absolutely correct that he doesn't understand tarrifs.

Means the democrats don't understand tariffs either doesn't it?"
You don't read posts do you? He can impose as many as he wants. So can the Democrats. My point do for the 3rd time is he talks about Tariffs as part of his economic plan. But has multiple times failed to understand what they are and how they work. I mean you can actually look this up.

You seem to defend him randomly and will argue against everything. You are the man, probably the only one who thought Trump would stay calm in the debate and not make an eejit out of himself on multiple issues. But please keep half reading my posts and then arguing back with random stuff.

The man is an eejit in many ways as is the other candidate. Nobody arguing there.

It is not arguing back with random stuff to suggest that if you think his tariffs policy is a joke or whatever, then Biden going along with them and adding to them is a bigger joke.

Protectionism is a political policy that go hand in hand with an America first isolationist view, how do you know this isn't exactly what he wants to create with tariffs.

All the media said he had a bad debate but all the polls favoured him afterwards, so figure that one out.

For the 4th time Trump doesn't understand how Tariffs work. That's all i said. You can post all you want and ramble about Democrats imposing tariffs. That's not the point i was making. As for your point on polls post debate? I mean Tucker Carlson would be proud of you lads.

Biden is gone lad. What he did is in the past. Do i trust polls? Polls have showed Trump down overall including losing the debate so not sure what polls you look at?

Harris is linked to Biden and his presidency and he very much is still the president...in name anyway, but not so certain he is anywhere near running the show there.

Nothing like a good old fashioned conspiracy theory lads and ladies. How about this one. A would be shooter sits in a bush for 11 hours. An eagle eyed special agent spots the barrel of a rifle jiggling and poking out of the bush and lets off a few shots. The would be Lee Harvey Oswald legs it leaving all his gear behind without getting a shot off. Nobody gets hit, thankfully. Somebody spots the vehicle reg , informs the police who are able to trail him and make a "peaceful" arrest at the first available convenient spot for such. Jack Reacher has nothing on this.

You're all raving here about who'll be the next American President, what's more worrying for me the is last time roughly 50/50 of their population thought a doting Biden or a whacky Trump were suitable to be President at all,
same this time Trump versus the laughing Hyena. I think I'd prefer Trump tbh. Tough choice though.

We really are living in wacky times when they look back at this time from circa 2016 to today people will wonder what they hell was going on

I didn't say that the polls said he won the debate, I said he is ahead in the polls after it

If someone who had voted in a Republican primary had been arrested with an assault rifle and scope waiting for Harris you can imagine what the consequences would be.

Because it was the other way around, it is being basically pushed out of the news cycle or like the previous attempt suggested that the target himself was behind it.

This time four years ago the Democrats were bailing out rioters and arsonists let loose after an aggravated drug addicted burglar died during an arrest,

And the Orange man is the bad one. The war monger who uniquely among American Presidents in generations didn't start one war.

Am I the only person who finds all this second assassination attempt very suspicious..no shot fired from the so called shooter..no one it seems only those close to trump knew he was going golfing,yet some fella hid in bushes for 10/11 hours hoping he might get off a shot which he failed to do..is it weird that this happens a few days after he lost the live tv debate according to all the experts..I don't make a habit of following American politics but this election I'm keeping an eye on just to see what Americans think their future might be..

Not sure any president ever has had the power to start a war tbh Barney. Like most if not all democracies, you can vote for whichever hue of politician you like in America, but the same people will be running the country after the next election as were running it before it.

What polls have him ahead? Do you want me to post the list of every poll for you or do you want to keep making stuff up? Because I can post a link for you. He has only ever been ahead in 2 polls out of all the recognised polling companies. That's 2 out of about 15.

It's almost unbelievable that a lad would sit in the bushes for 10 or 11 hours waiting for Trump then get peacefully arrested. His base will be riled up for a fight. Almost unbelievable.

I find the first one every bit as suspicious. In fairness don't think it's any secret Donald spends most of his time golfing where he was.

If he had been killed you would probably claim he killed himself!

Democrats - with the support of Republicans who now support Harris! - are the ones who unleashed hell in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya for no good reason. Then having made a mess, crawled out and abandoned people to the Taliban and their ilk. Democrats are also the ones who are standing over the slaughter in Gaza .

These are you "good guys" I take it?
