The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 22 - Politics and Economics

So bilateral trade agreements. What does that mean? A company wants to export to five different countrys and since there isnt a trade zone but just different agreements they have to adhere to a different industrial standard for each country?

He seems nervous. Even his jokes are not delivered well (and are falling completely flat).

Looks like the defacto non-answers are going to be "work with Congress".

I was afraid that they were going to totally dispense with press conferences in favor of daily press secretary speeches like yesterday.

"When will the Spanish website be up?"

Jfc. That person should be banned for all time from any journalism anywhere.

Further proof people can't handle the truth, I guess.

Spicer was doing so well, and then someone asked a question about honesty and he's now melting down again about the media.

Can we save the outrage on random bills until they at least get a committee vote?

Honestly surprised at how well he is handling himself after the disaster that was the other day. That had me wanting to take whatever the under would be on him being sacked.

Then again he is able to just fall back onto "we are going to work with Congress" and "this is working day one", so he doesn't have to actually address questions and can avoid burying himself and deflect at will.

I get it now. NAFTA is trade with Hispanics. TPP is trade with Asians.

We need trade with white people!

Those are liberals.

We are moving back toward a more 1880 definition of whiteness. This isn't just skin color anymore, that's 2015 talk. We are talking about full blown purity.
