You are wrong. Tarriffs are paid by the importers in the US. Every cent going into the government treasury came out of the pocket of an American importer.

Oh, so we're only "partially" communist, then. That's better.
Me either. I go by definitions. When the state is taking ownership of the means of production, that's communist.

The problem with broad proclamations like that is that there are excessive contra-indications.
The specifics overwhelm the pronouncements and can often invalidate their argument. The danger is that people won't bother to summarize all the probable errors, leading one to possibly believe it validates their wild misinterpretation

I stand corrected. Then again, no one forces those importers to buy anything…

And, while Trump has been in office (either time), please list any means of production of any US company seized by either of his administrations.

You’ll have to explain in more detail how investing in a company and receiving minimal returns on those investments is any part communism. I believe that is the epitome of Capitalism. Then again, don’t bother as I don’t have the energy to continue debating against the Trump Derangement Syndrome talking points. I should have known better than to even start.
If you want to maintain the President of the US is a “communist”, that is certainly your right to believe it and to state it. I suspect there are far more US citizens that will disagree with your proclamation than just Republicans.

Up until recently I had very little interest and for the most part respect for many entertainers however now that many have cancelled their scheduled shows in NYC because they refuse to perform in the city due to the Muslim Mayor I now have new respect for them doing the right thing.
Everyone should realize that most of the time, opinions are wrong. Knowledge can be dangerous, ignorance can be deadly. Speaking out only gets the attention of those who disagree.
I don't know if someone famous said those things, it could just be me. I am the deviation from the norm.

The end result is the same. They are in charge and you do what they say to do. Never worked. Ends up a dictatorship with a different name.

And in worst case scenarios, millions of deaths…
Putting food on the table does. It's part of capitalism. Filling a market need at a desired price point, and it's a trade off between consumption and production, all the constraints, etc.
So no more fire departments, police departments or public roads? Back to fire departments provided by insurance companies... if you're their policy holder?
All of those are brought to you by socialism - taking from people and providing a public benefit.

Now multiple generations of coddled, entitled, ingrates ruined at an early age by poor parenting and terrible educational standards that we have allowed to indoctrinate and poorly educate our kids . Many have been raised with little to no self ownership or accountability.
Add in the Big government education everyone should go to college, here’s a useless degree in “Recreation and Leisure studies” ( which by the programs own admission qualifies you to work at a hotel or resort
).
Now these folks can’t find a job and they want everyone else to bail them out. Did we really expect anything other than a flock to the big brother handouts of socialism/communism?
Now I’m off my soap box. Let me enjoy the daffy zone.

You sir, have it the nail on the head. I have a Very good friend who fled Hungary in 1968. He can tell you what Communism is, and it darn sure isn’t what Trump represents. My friend HATES anything/everything that comes across as “socialist” or “communist”. He is, in fact, a much better American than pretty much anybody you’ll meet. His son, a West Point graduate just retired as a bird Colonel from the army with 30 years. Two grandkids are now at West Point, a senior and a freshman.Now multiple generations of coddled, entitled, ingrates ruined at an early age by poor parenting and terrible educational standards that we have allowed to indoctrinate and poorly educate our kids .
