ZTE procures most of its parts from the US and it is a part of a larger trade deal in favor of the US.

And has ties to Iran...

The USA will never get out of debt if it continues to not produce anything, and Trump has gone far to attempt to bring industry back into the US. 

GDP

"Gross domestic product is the best way to measure a country's economy. GDP is the total value of everything produced by all the people and companies in the country. It doesn't matter if they are citizens or foreign-owned companies. If they are located within the country's boundaries, the government counts their production as GDP."

Antiquated industries like coal. We are more service and tech based now but that's the way it should be as a nation evolves. Do you want your kids working for Apple or in the coal mines? Making air conditioners or working at SpaceX?

Productivity isn't only the measure of tangible goods, you need to include goods AND services.

We do have issues with countries taking our intellectual property, which Trump is trying to address but too much of his focus is on bringing America back to the industrial age.

Dont know crap about gdp, but keep hearing about it.

Is that good? And is it because of trump?

No, it's not good. This is a preliminary number and will be revised end of May but it's unlikely to move up significantly. Certainly not to the 4%-5% range some were expecting.

I'd LOVE to see Tulsi ordered to guard the border! I'd LOVE to see the picture of her dressed in camo while wielding a battlefield weapon of war bearing a "high capcaity clip" (as she calls them).

I'm not sure if she's still in the reserves nor if the Hawaii unit would get called for such duty, but it'd be classic!

Trump to sign proclamation sending National Guard to border immediately

I don't think you'll get your wish. The national guard is providing recon primarily and won't engage with civilians. They won't be armed.

We've done this in the past (Bush and Obama) so this is mostly a non event.

Latest forecast is 2.4%

There's a lot of people on the lift with no skis or boards on, which is fortunate because it makes it a lot easier to run out of the way after jumping off. Could have been a lot worse. Still weird though, lifts like these, at least in North America 99.99% of riders have skis/boards.

Trump grew up in one of the most anti firearms states. 
It really shouldn't surprise anyone

So have I and I'm not advocating bypassing due process.

Looking for the general consensus here.  How do you feel Trump's stance on 2A is going?  I understand that recent events have definitely polarized the climate, however to me he's seeming wishy washy AF. I'm sure someone will provide the " it's all part of his brilliant negotiating strategy" reply.

He's wishy washy on everything so it doesn't surprise me in the least bit. It's disappointing, but certainly not surprising.

I think Aimpoint battery's last 5-7 years, even when running.
I just simply change the cheap little battery evrey 5 years (once so far) and keep an extra.

Same. They last incredibly long and are worth paying the premium. I went through two cheaper red dots that died before spending on the aimpoint.

Magpul flip sights that make a nice lower third cowitness as backup.

Is this now a moot point seeing as Trump has issued a memo to "ban all devices" like bump stocks?
