President Joe is nailing this shit...

Listening to his remarks today...

He's going after the Trump Democrats talking about Made in the USA and making wind generator blades in the USA rather than Beijing...

It was a mistake to lose focus on the traditional heart of the Democratic Party and Joe is EXPANDING the party today...

Strategically flawless... not ceding an inch to the "Populist" elements of the opposition.

Democrats ARE populists. Bezos, Gates and Hollywood may be Democrat leaning but they're NOT the heart of the Party.


It's "Trump Democrats" who watched cargo ships offload containers full of Chinese made equipment while they're driving for Uber after their local mfg job shut down a few years ago.

NEVER give them an excuse to vote GOP again.

Remove the 301 Tariffs on parts and components. My company is paying 25% on cables required to build the big data racks that power a work from home and anywhere economy.


Finished goods are fine. But Trump fucked US manufacturers over. Our tariff bill went from $2 million to just under 100 annually on September 24, 2018.

Then he needs to tell Homeland Security/CBP they aren't in charge of the Made in the USA designation - the Commerce Department is.

Sorry - I want to see REAL action at the Federal Government level to make easier to build. These are things Yellen and Tai can do to open the door to manufacturers.

My employer imports bio-polymers that are also subject to the new tariffs...

Even though they're molded and machined into something completely novel and unique here.

because the Giant Orange Colostomy Bag did nothing to prevent the spread of COVID in our country. Not only did he do nothing, he made it worse with his talk of it magically disappearing, and touting stupid "cures" that did absolutely nothing.

If Trump humping "Democrats" are alright with that, the fucking QOP can have them. Good riddance.

(genuine Trump store stuff)

Tons of China made copy stuff like flags, etc.

Prior to that, his clothing line, ties and all that crap, made in China.
