Toon & text by John Auchter
Whether you prepare for the looming trade war with a cold beverage by the pool or panicked online shopping (may I suggest the Michigan Radio Store if you intend to throw money?), I will not take any more of your time this week. No matter what happens, the constant remains that summer in Michigan is too short.
John Auchter draws cartoons. Lots and lots of them. You can find them at his incredibly popular website auchtoon.com. You can also find his stuff on Michigan Public Radio’s website under Opinion.
Isn’t it interesting how the tariffs exclude Trump’s own merchandize that is being manufactured in China?
What Fred says and other democrat/socialists do not understand is that tariffs that are imposed on American made products being shipped to other countries is that their tariffs are higher on our products than what tariffs we put on their imports.
I can not name every country or product, but here is one: Germany imposes a 10% tariff on American made cars, America only imposes a 5% tariff on imported German cars.
China does about the same thing. China sets a higher tariff rate on a lot of products they import from America. America does not charge the same rate of tariffs on products imported from China.
Fred, how do you know that President Trump has excluded whatever his companies manufacture in China from higher tariffs?
Trump is on a mission to alienate the whole world from us. First he made us a laughing stock with his rude and crude texts and speeches. Now he’s moving on to do physical harm.
Why can’t someone stop him? Does he really have full power over the entire congress, senate, and other “leaderships” if we can call them that. How much longer can we go on? Who is afraid of him?
Wasn’t someone starting impeachment procedures? He is a total embarrassment to the world, even in our own country that he is running into the ground. His administration is filled with jokers just like he is. Does he have that many people in his back pocket?
Are lawmakers afraid that they will lose their jobs if they stand up to him? They will lose their jobs anyway when we vote the worst ones out.
When our children and grandchildren learn about his administration in American History class……oh, nevermind. He will find a way to keep this sham out of the textbooks.
I LOVE watching Democrat snowflakes have a total meltdown. But I want MORE!
Flail and scream! Cry and wail! Make BS claims all over the web 24/7/365!
Stop being WEAK! I demand you libs ramp up your craziness 1000 times! Do it NOW!
Recession 2018 here we come.
Hey LIAR Jim asS, you can’t even define a recession. But, let’s have some fun with this and put some skin in the game…….. we’ll wager on a recession in 2018. You say yes, I say no. We’ll send our respective contact info to beret boy heller and he can facilitate the transaction. Well? What’s the $?
How is that supposed to work when every economic analyst agrees that we are in a recession, but Trump and Fox News calls it “FAKE NEWS!!” ?
Kind of like how every single one of our intelligence agencies know that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, but you trumpie won’t accept it.
Fop freddie to the rescue. Cite an economic source( other than maxipad waters) that claims this nation’s economy is in a recession. Would you like a piece of the betting action I offered your bromantic interest LIAR Jim asS?
How can I cite a source? It hasn’t happened yet. It’s unsurprising that you completely missed the point. Being blinded by hatred does that to you.
Fred lied and said…..
“every economic analyst agrees that we are in a recession”
Sorry – not only does not every economic analyst agree we are in a recession, but our economic strength looks awesome for years to come.

Working Dad you lied. I specifically said “‘when every economic analyst agrees”. As in future-tense.
Look at this loser try to backpedal and lie his way out of his previous claims.
Someone who supports Donald Trump is calling me a lying loser? I guess that is a compliment. Thanks, Working Dad!
We just received news of the awesome nomination of Brett Kavanaugh as replacement for Justice Kennedy on the SCOTUS. We are blessed to have such a Constitutional construction adherent.
Thank you President Trump! May God guide you and also our SCOTUS.
What do you like about him?
One of his greatest assets is his strong support of the individual right to keep and bear arms. This helps to ensure we will see unconstitutional laws/practices overturned at the SCOTUS.
100% APPROVAL

Anything else?
Fop freddie … care to place your bet? You can’t define ‘recession’ , but for the ignorant like you, there are numeric guidelines, used by economists.
It isn’t a subjective hatred of your president. What’s the bet foppish one?
Brad,
Scroll back up, reread my comment and let it sink in for a minute or two. Then ask yourself if you really think I am going to make a bet with people like you on anything.
I could always show Trump the same level of respect you showed Obama. Would you like that, Brad?
Hey fop freddie, there are specific numeric and time sensitive parameters that define recessions. It isn’t merely a matter of another disgruntled leftist declaring it as fact…….. so once again, care to put your $ where your big mouth/tiny brain reside as to a recession in 2018?
The big boom you have heard is the democrats//socialists going ballistic over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to SCOTUS.
I got up this morning and flipped channels through 3 networks, ABC TV 12, Fox and CNN.
ABC and Fox were talking about the rescue efforts in Thailand. CNN was still only reporting about the nomination, no other news.
FOX has started to talk about the nomination, between other news stories. CNN is still fixated on the nomination.
One story FOX had aired was about an Aunt of a sick child that had been transported by Trump Air to St. Jude’s hospital for cancer treatment. She was thanking Trump Air for flying her nephew to ST. Jude’s for treatment. Some democrat/socialists were upset that she was thanking Trump Air for their free service. Their comments were not very nice, to say the least.
FOX reported that some donors had stated that they would no longer donate to St. Jude’s.
