Give a fool a hammer and everything looks like a nail. The World Street Journal, a paper that actually supported Trump in his second run for the presidency has come out to call Trump's tariffs the dumbest economic decision in over 50 years.

Trump's professor at Wharton, called Donald Trump the dumbest student he ever had. It is obvious.

It must be remembered that the USMCA trade deal Trump just abandoned was the very deal he negotiated during his first term! He got Canada and Mexico onboard that agreement. Now he is tearing up the same agreement he authored.

If Trump is not careful, he may trigger a recession in the global economy. Watch what happens as stock markets open tomorrow to see just how scared the markets are about this . Trump thinks that foreign countries pay the tariffs. But anyone with basic knowledge of economics knows that the cost of the tariffs is borne by the final consumer in this case, American citizens. Trump's tariffs are a tax on the American consumer.

This will stifle demand, dislodge supply chains and force multiple companies to close. Trump's first tariffs against China saw China jettison US sourced Soybeans for other markets in Brazil and Argentina. Trump had to bail out US soyabean farmers with 25 billions US dollars but yet some farms closed down and some farmers committed suicide.

There is no upside to these tariffs. It will only lead the US into economic dire straits. Trump is and idiot.

For the first time in like ever, I'm reading a post that makes visiting this forum worth it. You are spot on in your write up. This needs to be shared widely.

This is what i mean when I say there is an epidemic of senselessness flying around.

You met someone ONLINE. You then proceed to put yourself INLINE for a pregnancy. Now to UNDERLINE your stupidity, you are calling him out on social media.

Is this not madness? A man you have never met before you slept with him without protection. What proof does she have that he is the one responsible?

This happens when you place DEi over experience and merit.

You must be insane.

Less than 2 weeks after Mr Trump fires the head of the FAA and disbands the board i charge of American aviation safety protocols, they are having 2 civil crashes in less than 5 days.
He has sworn to gut the federal civil service. America has taken a gun, placed it on its balls and is about to blast them off.

The way that his bald head was reflecting extra sunlight lately I knew something was up.

casualobserver:
The only thing I want to say here is that I have always said it on Nairaland that we have one of the most watertight electoral systems in the world and you cannot rig in Nigeria without leaving evidence. So stop bashing INEC. If you were truly rigged there will be evidence. Either via the EC8 forms of which every party agent and the police have a copy of the original or BVAS.

Anyone who loses and election and cannot prove it in court is lying. Anyone telling you about irev is lying. INEC does not use IREV to count votes.H

What kind of insanely stupid take is this? Watertight electoral system that always leads to the loser being sworn into office?

INEC needs to be disbanded. It has lost the trust of Nigerians.

I love the way I finger nairaland men

You 'finger' men? Ewwww... Gross!!

I used to think this girl had sense. So all this while you just packaged your stupidity and hid it?

Who told this fool to embark on this confession spree? Jennyclay will go to town with this.

Mumu. It didn't occur to you that you are looking at a possible fulani settlement that they use as a kidnappers den.

Abeg who fit deliver me? I fit dey club dey bugga till 4am but to attend night vigil na very serious problem for me. I go just dose off around 1am. Don't go to vigils for that reason.

Where is Nathaniel d trumpet lord. D list no complete.

Go and call him from his father's house.

What are they even fighting for? I chook my head inside my amala come comot am to chook for soup only for me to now hear that South Africa is in Congo fighting?

What is the world coming to?

All i see are people who have fuc(k)ed each other before.

After 10 years in power the APC is still making excuses and has solutions for nothing.

Necessity is the mother of all invention.

If beef is costly, there are alternatives like fish, mutton, lamb, chevron, pork, chicken etc. These are rich source of protein too.


Nigerians, una too like complain....

Use your head Amu fulani. Which of the above you mentioned is cheaper than beef?

How does the dollar exchange rate affect the price of cow? Is it not free grass the cow eats?

The vultures that are currently on Annie's matter will soon gather for Chioma.

There are certain lines in marriage a woman should not cross. A man can over look a lot but it gets to a point when his mind gets made up and nothing can be said to change it.

Annie overstepped her boundaries and took her home forgranted. Several incidence of she physically assaulting 2 have been documented. One of this incident involved her breaking bottle on his head and leaving him on the floor in the hotel room to bleed. This was in Abuja. His people got to know but kept their cool. And that's not the only such incident.

No man should have to go through what 2 did. He is not the first man to have kids outside. She knew that for a fact before she married him. Entering into a marriage and making a scene out of a man's relationship with his kids is madness.

Only a foolish woman enters a marriage without building allies for herself among her husband's people. No one is coming to speak in her defense. Thats sad.

Dem no cut funding for condom o.

Na 2 be the first person to divorce? Have you all noticed the double standards of the useless female celebs we have in this country?
They are blasting 2face for the timing of his divorce saying it is not good for annie's mental health but if it was annie who initiated the divorce they will be praising her to the high heavens and telling her she made the right decision for her mental health. No one will bother about the man.

So men don't deserve to preserve their mental health abi? Na thunder go fire una.

Ibiyeome should rest from this matter. Doctrines that have no basis in scripture are what he teaches all this time.

The health security of its population is what every responsible government takes seriously. But the bastards in PDP and APC have failed in this regard.

Outsourcing the health needs of your people to an outside country is irresponsible. Generic versions of these drugs are freely available. Why can't Nigeria produce its own? The billions our political class embezzles is more than enough to make these drugs available for every Nigerian that needs it. We need to start holding our leaders responsible.

Why should Nigeria have the highest paid lawmakers in the world and yet we are depending on grants to provide drugs for our people? That's madness.

Standardization across board is what is lacking here. I know of someone who teaches english to SS1-SS3 and gets paid 25k presently. I'm this economy o. And this is someone who already has a master's degree.

I can't understand how people cope on such meagre salaries. That's not living. That's merely existing. Even 100k in this economy is nothing.

Nigeria's problem, outside its raging corruption, primarily arises from the fact that over 70% of its earnings go into recurrent expenditure. Little is left for development spending. It makes no sense to borrow to pay salaries. Any country doing that digs a hole for itself.
The civil service at State and federal levels are unproductive yet they consume a larger share of the country's income.

A society where government is the largest employer is a society that will hardly develop.

Your error was following a woman to go shopping. It never ends well. I used to follow my wife to the market but I have sworn never to do that again.

Women are actually very mad. Na for market you go know say those people no too join for head.

Kobojunkie:
You knew your husband was cheating on you yet you continued to have unprotected sex with him all that while and now have had a baby after it all. So, why the sudden concern about the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and whatnot? 😐😐😐😐

Na the children caught in the middle of all this disgusting foolishness I pity. Apart from them, it seems to be that you all— the adults — deserve each other.

Kobojunkie speak pidgin today. You change your weed supplier?

If you can take care of yourself and your kids, I'll advise you to go for a divorce. On no ground should you return to the person you call a husband.

Once can be forgiven but twice? And there's even domestic violence involved. Your marriage has broken down and that's a reality you have to face. Be strong and put an end to that marriage.

. Why are we siting a dry port in Katsina? Why must every thing be done to benefit Niger? First we gave them several armored trucks and police vehicles. We are also building for them a standard railway line. I can understand that Buhari is from Niger but why are we expending national resources to please just one man?
