There's nothing "substance free" about Trump - that's why he tweets at 4am. Can't do that without a little "bump" of the white powder.

Okay, but let's do it legally. Killing them is not the way to do it. |

There's definitely an interesting dichotomy between CI's pleas for pacifism and morality versus his willingness to suspend those things when it's personally convenient in serving his views.

Can the president unilaterally withdraw from NAFTA? I know Bush 2 withdrew us from the ABM, but there was a method of withdrawing in that treaty itself. |

I think he can withdraw, but he can't renegotiate it. Congress would have to be involved in any renegotiation.

she cancelled due to financial concerns. she said the conservative groups that were backing her in the beginning were now backing out of the deal. which tells me, the money dried up. lol. all that yelling to fizz out because the checks were no longer rolling in. I thought this was about Free speech. I thought AC wasn't scurrd |

He'd probably alter it again if he spoke to Ross Perot, or Bernie Sanders for that matter. |

It's not clear, but there is an argument that he does indeed have this power.
More importantly, how many times is Trump going to get away with bluffing like this before other countries quit reacting? There are a lot of American interests that would be hurt by withdrawing from NAFTA. I do not believe that this was anything more than a bluff. Maybe he'll send a carrier strike force toward NAFTA next time. |

NYT: This Isn’t Tax Policy; It’s a Trump-Led Heist
| Quote: | What do you do if you’re a historically unpopular new president, with a record low approval rating by 14 points, facing investigations into the way Russia helped you get elected, with the media judging your first 100 days in office as the weakest of any modern president?
Why, you announce a tax cut!
And in your self-absorbed way, you announce a tax cut that will hugely benefit yourself. Imagine those millions saved! You feel better already!
I’m deeply skeptical that President Trump will manage to get a tax reform package passed into law, and that’s just as well. Trump’s new tax “plan” (more like an extremely vague plan for a plan) is an irresponsible, shameless, budget-busting gift to zillionaires like himself.
This isn’t about “jobs,” as the White House claims. If it were, it might cut employment taxes, which genuinely do discourage hiring. Rather, it’s about huge payouts to the wealthiest Americans — and deficits be damned! If Republicans embrace this “plan” after all their hand-wringing about deficits and debt, we should build a Grand Monument to Hypocrisy in their honor. |

| Seems the only question is can Republicans adjust this plan so it doesn't add to the deficit beyond 10 years? And then can they all agree on it? Seems unlikely. |

| It's not a plan. It's just some bullet points on a page. Trump just needed to get something out in the first 100 days. |
