  So much for Drumf's attempt to make the world to dance to his exceedingly limited repartee.
  “Trump speaks at level of 8-year-old, new analysis finds
  Mr Trump scores the lowest of any of the past 15 presidents
  Donald Trump may call himself a genius on Twitter, but his spoken statements say otherwise.
  An analysis of the President's first 30,000 words uttered in office found Mr Trump speaks at a third- to seventh-grade reading level – lower than any other President since 1929. Mr Trump’s vocabulary and grammatical structure is “significantly more simple, and less diverse” than any President since Herbert Hoover, the analysis found.
  The comparison is based on interviews, speeches and press conferences for every president dating back to 1929, compiled by online database Factba.se. Analysts at Factba.se studied the “off-script” remarks of all 15 men – essentially, everything but their prepared speeches – to compare and contrast their speaking skills.”

  “If china buys more brazilian soy bens the usa will simply sell to the countries that bought brazilian beans”
  Your suggestion that US producers could under-cut Brazilian producers is sheer bunkum to wit, according to this US study:
  “However, the costs of shipping from North MT to China are becoming increasingly competitive to U.S. transportation costs due to generally falling truck and ocean freight rates in Brazil. Brazil?s truck rates have been falling partly due to improvement in transportation infrastructure and relatively lower diesel prices compared to historical averages. In addition, the ocean freight rates are falling faster or increasing at a lower rate in Brazil than the U.S. ”

  Brazil already sells 75% of it's soy beans to China, and Argentina 90%. To sell more they'll probably be taking from their domestic supplies, and China will still have to buy some from the US. If the trade war continues, they'll be planting a lot more next year.

  Dear Trump
  
  Thank you for helping to increase my country's exports to China. At the rate you are going, I might have to support you for another term

  “30%.” “I think it partly depends on people mean by “fight for country”. and ”Fight For Their Country UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE“
  ”In 1965, a majority of Americans supported U.S. policies in Vietnam; by the fall of 1967, ONLY 35 PERCENT DID SO. For the first time, more people thought U.S. intervention in Vietnam had been a mistake than did not.”
  So Canadians are less aggressive than the US. Any informed person knows that given US direct aggression in Latin America versus Canadian involvement in UN Peace keeping.
