Something always felt off about your posts to me, but I couldn't really put it in words. Hopefully, this is just a "bad day" kind of post, but if it isn't: I'm glad to know that my gut was right.
Real lesson that you can learn alot from everyone, especially those not rooting for ya when they are willing to be honest if not kind.

You are more right that I realize by phrasing it as a "bad day" post as it was hyper bombastic and over the top but the sentiments within I think have more validity than most are willing to admit. Party stalwarts Ive known and trusted for years are saying the same things to me in more cautious language.

Ill point out that not one of my MANY detractors was willing to engage with a single one of my many, well sourced points, It devolved into

"You talking about something even 1 mile beyond our border? your a retard for even thinking about it"

Trumps domestic policy has been sublime, I have very little but compliments and praise for such action, his International policy is nonexistant beyond the economic scope in an era where we sit on a knifes edge of war, Not A war THE war, the one your kids will be the ones picking up the pieces from and you and I will be either in the dirt or a husk in human clothes.

All the shit with the EU, Canada, and the countless small islands is so bushleage I dont know what to say, he is trying to use soft power to bully china, a nation that has eaten multiple humanity ending events like they were scripted, THEY WILL NOT FOLD CAUSE THEY CANT BUY MILWAUKEE BRANDED TOOLS.

Trump refuses to cut grain and nut shipments to them for 2 reasons, it will kill tens of millions and 2 it will bankrupt about a dozen Californian farmers.

Either engage with my points or be a big enough man to start doing some digging for youself, those puzzle pieces and trashcans dont help our foreign policy one lick, im in contact with my elected reps over my points, can you say the same?

What Trump means by "Japan's bowling ball test":
I said trade isn't so good with Japan. It's so one-sided. They don't take our product and we take their cars, I mean the cars and 90 percent of the cars, they just come. They need Mario Andretti to drive those cars off the boats. They come off the boats like 60 miles an hour. We send a car to Japan, they analyze it for four weeks before they decide to send it back because it's not environmentally friendly. [Unintelligible.] They actually, one of the car companies actually had a car made and it was the most environmentally perfect car, cost them a fortune. They spent a fortune. And they had everything, the highest quality that you can have. Everything was far better than any car they ever sent to us. They spent three or four hundred thousand dollars for a car that would sell for like 35,000, right? Not a good deal. But they wanted to see if they could get it in. And it, they were going crazy. Four days went by. Then five days. And they were ready to approve it and they said, no no, we have to do one more test. It's called the bowling ball test, do you know what that is? That's where they take a bowling ball from 20 feet up in the air and they drop it on the hood of the car. And if the hood dents, then the car doesn't qualify. Well, guess what, the roof dented a little bit, and they said, nope, this car doesn't qualify. It's horrible, the way we're treated. It's horrible.

"Fact"-checkers tried to debunk this, only to confirm what Trump said:
There are no bowling balls, and no 20-foot drop. But Japan’s National Agency for Automotive Safety and Victim Aid does what’s called a pedestrian head protection performance test. It’s designed to measure the force someone’s head would absorb if a car hit them.

This involves firing a carefully calibrated hemisphere-shaped device (so, more like half of a bowling ball) at the hood and windshield. The device records the force. Here’s a graphic from the agency’s website:

Note that the largest head impactor is 4.5 kilograms, or about 10 pounds.

So, the details about a bowling ball, the weight and the height of the drop are all wrong.

"They didn't drop a bowling ball on the car, instead they shot half of a bowling ball at the car"
 
It's mostly that he's so clearly trolling and doesn't believe what he says. Much more entertaining than the tourist doomers and legitimate Chinese shill.
I'll admit it took me a couple of days to figure it out, i'm still not sure about buckbrokenchimp. I have known real wumaos to be that legitamately retarded.
 
"They didn't drop a bowling ball on the car, instead they shot half of a bowling ball at the car"
Forgive my confusion, but isn't this literally what you want to happen? You want the hood to cave in (absorbing and dispersing the kenetic energy) instead of, say, a pedestrian.

It's why old cars like Caddys are tanks (but will kill you dead in a wreck) whereas new cars shatter into confetti (instead of your organs).
