      Reading comprehension fail? That’s what I pretty specifically said.

        The good news is the government won’t be able to fund sex changes ever again in the future either because in like 10 years we’ll be fresh out of any spending money at all as the interest on national debt absorbs every tax dollar.

                  "Trucks built in the U.S. are actually disadvantaged today compared to trucks built in Mexico," a spokesperson at Volvo's North American unit said.
                  In April, the company boosted its planned Mexico plant investment by $300 million to $1 billion, aiming to support its U.S. operations.

                  Volvo owns Mack truck brand too.

                      I just got a pretty good paycheck. Felt pretty good about it. Then I bought fried rice and an Arnold Palmer for lunch. $20… SMH…

                          Presumably this will lead to more firings in data analysis.

                          I was only joking

                              This is only going to hit home for him when it occurs to him that he can only have 2 Big Macs.

                                Maybe he'll rename Black Friday to Gold Friday to honor his impact on sales?

                                  Northern Ireland already has Orangemen's Day on July 12th, so maybe he could co-opt that.

                                  It's generally commemorated with a bunch of bigoted old men wandering the streets going on about how great things used to be 100s of years ago and burning foreign flags, so he's pretty much there already.

                                      Maybe, to improve the employment numbers, Trump may reach out to private sector CEOs and government departmental heads to tell them to hire more people ASAP?

                                          At this point, I’m shooting for the silver lining that “pro labor” policies and labor unions might get sunk next administration or even mid this administration…
