I think we found a new buyer for 264's bridge. Sometimes you can just smell bs through your monitor.."I met with"..bs.
"They are loving what trump is doing", really? What has he done other than ordered a "probe" under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which lets the president impose restrictions on imports for reasons of national security. Problem is one has to prove it is in the interest of national security.
Good luck with that, it's a road Republicans unsuccessfully already went down in 2001. Denied. Why? 70% of U.S. steel needs are provided for by domestic producers. Any guesses how much steel is used for our armed services? .03%

Imported steel has declined by 20% since 2015 returning to 2008 levels. Under that darn Obama restrictions were placed to protect the steel industry from "dumping" by foreign producers. As for China, well the stupid believe China is our largest importer because that is what Dear Leader said. Wrong again. Canada is, China is pretty low on the list they don't even make the Top 5 importers.

Every wonder why Keystone XL is exempt from having to purchase US steel?
For starters there is always Exxon's (Tillerson) interest and Dear Leader's stock holdings in TransCanada. Of course maybe the new Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will save the day. Nope, I wouldn't bet on that either considering Wilbur Ross is a major investor and former board member of ArcelorMittal, a Luxembourg steel company that Ross helped build.
Ross was an ArcelorMittal board member while he was drafting the Trump campaign?s economic plan on Trade, Regulatory, & Energy Policy Impacts. And not only is Ross? company a ?major supplier? for the Keystone XL pipeline, it has an immense interest in the U.S. market. According to company documents, 13 percent of ArcelorMittal?s carbon steel coils business is in the U.S.
Don't lose your current job selling hurricane ties at Home Depot or you'll be on the transportation side of steel shagging carts at the local Walmart.
As for Oil, given your limited capacity of thought you probably are not aware that OPEC has temporarily cut production to help out with global oversupply. Those temporary cuts expire and word on the street is that will continue for another 6 months. Why? Because the cuts were not deep enough and now Dear Leader wants to open up the Artic and the both coasts which would mean even more oil in an already flooded market. Dear Leader like you, does not understand the difference between Resource and Reserves.
It will be great when the start putting up rigs off the California coast and when there is a spill like the recent one at Keystone, Exxon will happily extend it's apologies to Eelgrass.
What a dipchit!
