Toddling Donny says China tariffs will pay US farm subsidies — just like Mexico didn't pay for the wall that doesn't exist

Are we in a terminal battle . . .

 

to see whether:

 

 

Democrats

 

Republicans

 

the Deep State

 

or

 

Toddling Donny Trump

 

comes out winning

 

the

 

Most Cosmically Humongous Bag of Shit Sweepstakes?

 

 

Donny put in a suitably nose-wrinkling effort last week

 

Never one to shirk being blatantly preposterous in public:

 

 

In announcing $16 billion in aid for American farmers and ranchers hurt by the U.S. trade war with China, President Donald Trump sounded a familiar note -- that the Chinese will bear the costs of his administration's policies and latest show of largesse.

 

"It all comes from China," Mr. Trump said Thursday.

 

"We'll be taking in, over a period of time, hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs and charges to China. And our farmers will be greatly helped. We want to get them back to the point where they would have had if they had a good year."

Uh huh.

 

Just like Mexico paid for the wall that does not exist. Which (built or not) tens of thousands of invading brown — oh, the horror — people are reportedly assaulting at this very-very moment.

 

 

The moral? — Preposterousness is (arguably) too low a standard for the Founders' United States

 

Doing evil should, they would certainly think, have a believable style.

 

If it does not, what is left for Fallen Amerika to achieve?

 

The current situation is enough to have us tear-drooling into our artisan-crafted beers.
