The Trump administration has crafted a draft bill — ordered by the president — that would declare America's abandonment of World Trade Organization rules, according to Axios. The bill essentially provides President Donald Trump — who has argued for a better position for the U.S. in big trade pacts — a license to raise U.S. tariffs at will, without congressional consent and largely outside of the international rules governed by the WTO. The bill, titled the "United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act," would give Trump unilateral power to ignore the two most basic principles of the WTO and negotiate one-on-one with any country.

    Every damn time he makes such statements there is always an immediate example of how he's wrong.

    I dream of a day when his brain functions normally and I pray it is caused by a infectious virus with no bad health outcomes. That way he can spread it and we might be able to get this country into a semblance of working order.

    Alas, it will never happen.
    Not because he's a buzzard, no, those do have normally functioning brains. But because, like his country, he holds the delusion he's mighty.

    The trick is you gotta read what I actually say instead of what you want me to have said.
