  President Trump implemented tariffs for the purpose of balancing trade- and tariffs - between America and other world nations- nations that have unfarily tariffed America for years/decades. The results have been amazing with present/future job creation, manufacturing and revenue generated from the tariffs. Now YOU and Mark consider his implemention of tariffs as being "dumb". Care to explain/define the "dumb" part of your answer?

I'm simply answering Mark's question.  Is Trump dumb or senile?  He is dumb.  Just watch any speech or public appearance he makes and draw your own conclusion.  

 

And what is worse, he is the worst kind of dumb.  An arrogant guy that thinks he is smart but is actually dumb.

   I see you avoided my question. Apparently your hatred and jealously override what he has accomplished for Americans and America. But you know, your misguided hatred will not change the fact that he has almost 3 more years of making America great - which is happening every day.

I don't like tarriffs at all.  On either side.  Two wrongs don't make a right.  

 

Now answer my question, David.  Do you think Trump is smart?

Is that how you think tariffs work? When The US puts a tariff on Canadian goods you think Canada pays?

   From Google - Here are the primary positive arguments for enacting tariffs in the US:(1) Protection of Domestic Industries: Tariffs provide a competitive advantage to US companies by raising the price of imported, often lower-cost, goods. This is particularly used to protect strategic sectors like steel, aluminum, and electronics from foreign competition or "dumping" (selling goods below cost).(2) Job Preservation and Creation: By boosting demand for local products, tariffs can help retain or create manufacturing jobs. For instance, tariffs on steel can increase employment within the US steel industry.(3) Generation of Government Revenue: Tariffs function as a tax on imported goods, creating a revenue stream for the federal government. In 2025, U.S. tariffs resulted in over $264 billion in revenue, which can be used to fund government programs.(4)Leverage in Trade Negotiations: Tariffs are used as a tool to pressure other countries to reduce their own trade barriers or to stop unfair trade practices, such as currency manipulation or intellectual property theft.(5) National Security and Supply Chain Resilience: By encouraging domestic production, tariffs can reduce dependence on foreign suppliers for critical goods, such as medical equipment, technology, or materials needed for defense. (6)Correction of Trade Imbalances: Supporters argue that tariffs can address persistent trade deficits—when the US imports more than it exports—by forcing a readjustment in trade flows.(7) Environmental and Labor Standards: Tariffs can be used to hold trading partners accountable for low environmental or labor standards, making goods from countries with lower "high-road" standards more expensive and protecting American companies that abide by stricter regulations

I have three long-time friends who work there--two in the pit and one in security. They told me of "an old guy from Texas" who is a frequent visitor and has been thrown out multiple times for abusive behavior toward both the dealers and his fellow players. 

 

As Miller always announces his trips, I've asked them if that person was there during those times. They've always coincided.

 

That is only circumstantial. However, Miller has threatened to find me in Vegas and "teach me a lesson"--multiple times. As I am also a frequent 4Q visitor, I didn't want to take even the negligible risk that he was some crazy who would actually try to find and attack me. So I asked my friends to keep an eye out for "the guy from Texas" and for advice re what I should do if someone threatened me in the casino. They told me once, while I was there, that he was there as well. They also said that due to privacy issues, they couldn't give me his name or a physical description. So I simply stayed away from the pit, and ultimately nothing happened.

 

You don't know the backstory, which was that I had an LVA blog, and I said something mildly disparaging about Trump (it was 2015), and Miller's response was to flood my Comments section with thousands of gibberish posts--daily. It consumed an hour+ of my time every day to take them down. I finally got tired of it and quit. Miller claims that Anthony made me take down the blog. I counter with the offer that if he can get Anthony to confirm that allegation, I'll leave LVA altogether and never return. At that point, Miller becomes strangely silent.

 

So I don't know if the nasty old guy from Texas is him. But I have other confirming info that I can't reveal, because I don't want my friends to get in trouble. 

 

It's certainly at least theoretically possible that Miller is unfailingly polite when he visits the 4Q, and that old nasty guy is someone else. But boy, is he angry when after three or four days in Vegas, he comes to the Sink and starts dozens of threads and screams at everybody.
