Not sure of all the variables in the trade wars, but one thing I see is the media remarking upon farmers trusting President Trump's decisions despite the potential downfall of their corn and soybeans being blocked abroad. Three months ago, the pending trade war was said to surely ruin farmers. Crazy to think three months have gone since the spat was started yet nothing major has occurred to push the kids in cages narrative away.
Seems odd that there are millions of hungry Americans, yet the media is concerned about the soybeans and corn not being sold to the Chinese. The infamous Farm Bill is always made out as a slush fund for farmers to not actually have to act profit oriented or competitive given the trade off with SNAP. Why not make the SNAP money limited to those crops like soybeans and corn affected by the tariffs?
WTO probably frowns upon such things.
Speaking of the kids in cages, why hasn't Mexico offered to pay to build the wall to make the family separation scenario seem like a hostage situation rather than the reality of criminals being incarcerated? Everyone knows bank robbers don't get their kids sent to prison/jail with them upon arrest, so the kids in cages would seem more horrid if pallets of money were shipped to help bring families together.
Speaking of tariffs and of the wall, a lot of steel could be used for that wall.
Since there isn't a balanced budget amendment, the government will always be hell-bent on deficit spending.
Given deficit spending seems out of control, I see most budgetary problems as being exaggerated for the sake of making political points.

bored
Not sure if I'm bored, but I'm not seeing the reason for people being bothered by President Trump's first term. The immigration thing has occurred for some time. No one had the courage to fix it, so it's a no win situation if you want to enforce the law.
No one wants kids in cages, but it's better than dead or being trafficked.
There's been a pause on a number of things.
The Mueller thing seems to be nothing, if the kids in cages is the biggest thing.
NRA haters have been peak with the journos being targetted last week.
Meh, Congress was shot at a year before, yet no one cared half as much.
Part of me expects October surprises.
