Out of his FUCKING MIND: Trump defends tariffs, says 'trade wars are good'

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump argued Friday that trade wars can be good, even though his promise of steel and aluminum tariffs rattled markets.

"When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win," Trump wrote on Twitter.

When a country (USA) is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with, trade wars are good, and easy to win. Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don’t trade anymore-we win big. It’s easy!

He added, "Example, when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don't trade anymore-we win big. It's easy!"
Later Friday, he tweeted: "We must protect our country and our workers. Our steel industry is in bad shape. IF YOU DON'T HAVE STEEL, YOU DON'T HAVE A COUNTRY!"

6. I know. I just checked his educational background. For years

he's been saying he had an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of PA. He did not receive an MBA. He studied " real estate studies". He's always been a poser and no one confronts him with the truth. He got into Wharton because the Admissions person was a buddy of his brother.

9. He was undergrad and wasn't anywhere near the top of his class.

2. "Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had."

Professor Kelley told me 100 times over three decades that “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.” I remember his emphasis and inflection — it went like this: “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.” Kelley told me this after Trump had become a celebrity, but long before he was considered a political figure. Kelley often referred to Trump’s arrogance when he told the story that Trump came to Wharton thinking he already knew everything.
