Latino Voters starting to lean to Trump

Up 19 points to 50% approval for Trump among Latinos in Marist poll.

If Democrats lose just 15% of Black Americans and 25% of Latinos, I don't know how they'll garner enough legal votes to win in 2020.

"Tariffs only affect consumers when they buy imported goods. BUY AMERICAN. "

Yes and most American goods are built/bought with imported (Tariff) goods
i.e. cars parts from Mexico, sugar, meat, dairy, etc

Examples products NOT American
1) Baseballs 2.4 million made in Costa Rica
2) Radio Flyer red Wagon China
3) Barbie Dolls Hing Kong
4) Etch A Sketch used by you know who to draw pictures with China
5) Olympic Uniforms China

This is the highlight of the Orange Kleptocrat's experience in Europe after blowing his inherited fortune $300m+ before his tv celebrity businessman persona took off.

Hard to believe Greavsie didn't explain the difference between balance of payments and trade deficits.

"US cities -- especially in New England -- rely on tankers to import their LNG. Had it not been for tanker shipments from other countries, the states in the New England region would have run short of heating fuel.

So Trump is expediting construction of America's own LNG pipeline. Date proves that pipelines are the safest and most efficient way of transporting energy fuels."


LNG at a liquid state is -260F and when vaporized into a gaseous state takes up to 61 times the space.
It, LNG cannot be transported by a pipeline but the vaporized gas from the LNG can. There is a new facility for producing LNG in the New England area Dominion Cove at Maryland that will be able to vaporize the LNG to a gas for distribution via its existing facilities.

Trump's "Hire American" Doctrine Fuels Target Employee Pay Increase

Source: New York Times

Target is raising the hourly wage to $13 per hour. Growing competition for labor (supply & demand) has caused Target to continuously raise wages from $11 to $12 and now $13 an hour in just 2 years. That's a 28% wage increase for Target employees.

Trump's enforcement of immigration law and efforts made by ICE have forced US business to compete for American workers, which is the whole point of free enterprise.
Nationwide, the average wage of nonsupervisory workers in residential construction hit $25.34 an hour in January. That’s over 6 percent more than a year earlier, close to the steepest annual increase since the government started keeping track almost 30 years ago. Pay is taking off even among those in less-skilled construction trades.

The gains are part of a broader trend. The tightest labor market in more than half a century is finally lifting the wages of the least-skilled workers on the bottom rung of the labor force, bucking years of stagnation.
According to Carlos Rojas, interviewed by the NY Times:
A lot of people returned to Mexico after the housing bust, and then came the deportations. People got scarce. Now that the work came back they are short of people.
Capitalism lifts all boats.

70% of Wall Street thinks Trump will be reelected in 2020

Source: RBC Capital Markets Survey
A new poll of Wall Street insiders shows that a vast majority expect President Donald Trump to win reelection in 2020.

While Joe Biden was viewed as the most stock market-friendly possible Democratic candidate for the White House, more than 70% of survey respondents told global investment bank RBC Capital Markets that they expect Trump to be reelected.
- 67% think Joe BIden would be best for the stock market out of all of the Democrats running. No other candidate came close.

- Elizabeth Warren was seen as the worst candidate for the stock market. Bernie Sanders came in second as being worst for the stock market and was 2nd behind Biden in getting the Dem nomination, but Bernie was far behind Biden in overall polling.

Stocks post 2nd straight weekly gain as strong jobs data, trade deal hopes boost sentiment

Source: CNBC
Stocks posted their second consecutive weekly rise on Friday as investor sentiment was boosted by better-than-expected jobs data and progress on the U.S.-China trade front.
Steady growth continues to occur on Main Street. That optimism is a critical driver for Wall Street.
Stocks also got a boost this week as China and the U.S. appeared to make progress in trade negotiations. President Donald Trump said Thursday that swift progress had been made, adding "we'll know over the next four weeks" whether a deal can be reached. Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, meanwhile, said new consensus had been reached by both countries on the text of a trade agreement, according to official state news agency Xinhua.
The trade issue has and will continue to impact world markets -- not just China and the US.
"Earnings drive markets. That's going to make the biggest difference going forward. I think not just the earnings themselves; everybody wants to hear about what CEO expectations are about trade. That's going to continue to be a big thing," said JJ Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade.
STEADY WINNING.

Democrats play GET TRUMP, and it directly impacts Americans negatively. It even negatively impacts the Democrat Party.

Socialists play GET TRUMP, and their attacks hurt the free enterprise/capitalist system that provides revenue to fund their programs. Without capitalism, socialists have no wealth upon which to draw -- or steal.

Brigadiers also like to play GET TRUMP. Their cheering and hope for failure -- if realized -- could actually damage the economy and society of their home countries. Failure could negatively affect their personal assets -- or even their financial ability to remain in Thailand.

The brigadiers always claim that they have justification to complain about bad choices by America because it often has negative effects on them and their home countries. And yet, they cheer for failure that may have the exact same negative effects on them and their home countries. Cognitive dissonance comes to mind.

Their cheering for failure reflects a deep-seated hate so vile that they're willing for others to suffer -- including themselves -- to have the satisfaction of seeing failure occur. If it happens, they'll sing and dance and laugh and laugh and laugh. Count on it.

Cheering for Failure in reaching a great trade deal is cheering for a negative effect on the markets and economies and societies of the entire world.

Oh Blessed One
To correct your writing so your readership has the BEST information Target employees who received in total an increase from $11 to $13 an hour is NOT a 28% increase it is an 18% increase
With this done , this must be shutting down many more Mom and Pops restaurants that cant keep up with the labor costs (as reported here by our Man on the Street LS) or they are also raising their prices to keep up therefore affecting the inflation in the USA BAD news for Donny

As for the unavailability of workers for the housing industry This is good for the immigrate and hopefully LEGAL workers but bad for the consumer. From your information in an article you forgot to mention the down side and that is
"The recent shortage of immigrant workers is impacting housing and housing affordability,” said Jerry Howard, chief executive of the National Association of Home Builders. Phil Crone, who runs the association’s Dallas chapter, said the labor bottleneck was adding about $6,000 to the cost of every home built in the area and delaying completion by two months." So with more work is more demand means PRICES INCREASE and therefore "For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction"

Not reporting the WHOLE story OH Great One
Read and you will not that his is the ONLY poll and I am sure there are loads of them in the USA (That's all they seem to do over there) that is indicating Mr T is over the 50% and Mr T likes to use him as he appears to be on his side

Rasmussen's daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows:
52 percent approve of Trump's job performance.
47 percent disapprove.
39 percent strongly approve.
39 percent strongly disapprove.
Rasmussen notes this is the highest Trump's approval rating has been since March 6, 2017, about seven weeks after he entered office. Trump has repeatedly touted his ratings from Rasmussen, which are frequently more favorable toward the president than other polling outlets. According to RealClearPolitics, Rasmussen is the only poll that has shown Trump's approval rating at or above 50 percent.

Whereas another POLL is
Hill-HarrisX survey released Wednesday found that 46 percent of registered voters approve of the president's job performance, compared with 54 percent who disapproved.
Trump has been at a 45-percent approval rating since Feb. 17. The increase in the April 1-2 survey is within the 3.1 percent sampling margin of error for all Hill-HarrisX polls.

When people use the "always believe the woman" they are already showing that "even if he did it's not wrong ' attitude . any accusation needs evidence, but having a view that they must be lying to start with. Rape is hard to prove ..and that's what rapists know...and they always start with "always believe the woman" BS
That's a nice effort at attempting to look noble, moral and intelligent, but it's a statement ignorant of the facts.

What you have stated about "always believe the woman" is exactly the OPPOSITE.

"Always believe the woman" is a narrative created by LIBs and cheered on vigorously during the Kavanaugh hearings to smear Kavanaugh WITHOUT evidence, WITHOUT corroboration, WITHOUT witnesses and WITHOUT due process.

"Always believe the woman" seeks to convict the accused even if evidence does not exist. The accused is guilty simply on the word of the woman.

In simple terms, this narrative promotes the belief that everyone should "Always believe the woman" no matter what.
