Darn those networks, they didn’t even show the anthem ceremonies on the TV broadcasts by the NFL… must have pissed off Agent Orange.
Hence the first falsehoods of the morning. He cribbed a Bartiromo lie about #TrumpRussia, and then there’s this piece of Trumpian NFL illogic:
So like the liar he is, he tried to make his nonsense more important than the game itself, especially to his base of Space Force logo voters, as though appropriating NASA’s logo design makes Space SEALs more likely.
and then there’s this idiotic tweet:
Which means very little because Turkish steel doesn’t really come to the US, and US Steel going to Turkey means that a US tariff affects whom? More likely this is a sop to which steel exporters? And which idiots drafted this tweet for Lord Dampnut? The tweet indicates that it’s about currency manipulation and more interesting will be the profits of those market speculators. Tariffs on Turkish taffy imports by the US might have a greater effect.
Steel Imports Report: Turkey. March 2018.
Turkey is the world’s ninth largest steel importer. In 2017, Turkey imported 13.4 million metric tons of steel, a 13 percent decrease from 15.4 million metric tons in 2016.
Turkey’s imports represented about 4 percent of all steel imported globally in 2016, based on available data.
The volume of Turkey’s 2017 steel imports was less than half that of the world’s largest importer, the United States.
In value terms, steel represented just 3.9 percent of the total amount of goods Turkey imported in 2017.
Turkey imports steel from more than 100 countries and territories.
The 10 countries labeled in the map below represent the top import sources for Turkey’s imports of steel, with each sending more than 400 thousand metric tons and together accounting for 79 percent of Turkey’s steel imports in 2017.
Apparently, Trump or one of his flunkies thought he could get credit for trashing Turkish currency by piling on with an irrelevant tariff. Much llke that “Space Force all the way!” tweet yesterday to remind us that he wanted credit for Pence’s speech.
