Well, so far the US is losing money on;

- declining tourism
- declining trade
- fewer (deported) taxpayers
- fewer admissions of foreign students
- small business bankruptcies
- less consumption by own consumers
- crashing stock market
- falling oil prices
- increasing unemployment payments
- increasing SNAP payments
- less investment from abroad
- consumer boycotts worldwide
- less military purchases of US weapons

But on the upside, the US is now making tons MORE money on;

-
-
-
-
-
- insider trading

Tired of winning yet...?

Not just worldwide, but here at home.
I do not trust the government to follow their oath to the Constitution.
America makes treaties, agreements, policies, etc.
We don't do deals. It makes us look as cheap and tawdry as the Midas touched White House.
America also does not do extortion and shakedowns.
We are NOT chump!

line #3, decreased taxpayers because of deporting taxpayers who pay into the IRS but don't receive benefits, like farmworkers, construction workers, restaurant workers, etc!!

The Reichwing liars don't understand that and they are in charge. It is time to act, not just talk!
