I am confuzzled again by this man's lack of tangible center...it's like trying to tie a string to a bottle rocket and holding on after its lit...

10. In 2016, this Board Was Awash With Posts Supporting...

...Bernie’s demand for steel tariffs with attacks on neoliberals/ globalists/ corporatist. Heck, just a few months ago, Bernie was attacking Trump for not moving even faster on trade. Why the change on this Board?

I am surprised by the lack of support given the sheer volume of posts promoting withdrawal from global trade agreements.

13. City of Pittsburgh to DJT: Where were you 40 years ago?

Steel is gone from Pittsburgh (and most of Pennsylvania), and it will never come back.
When can we say the same for you?
