This information is just as disturbing as the rest of the news about the actions taken by president #Trump. BUT don't blame me, I did not vote for him.
Unfortunately the ill-thought actions have caused a real decrease in my investments. Why does he need to do these things for his friends? What ever became of fiduciary integrity in the office of the president?????
I am amused when #Trump says we are the piggy bank. Last time I recalled the holders of debt are the piggy banks and China holds an awful lot of our debt. There he goes projecting again, in this case a reverse projection, but harmful and deceitful nevertheless. Great interview!
Well, at least something is hurting growth. Has to be #Trump, and maybe just business cycle issues with the uber rich pulling in their cash, not willing to spend or invest.
History certainly does repeat itself. And those who can't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I wonder why #Trump is so convinced he'll be able to succeed where all others failed.
@[Thomas Mitchell](user:6142), that's just #Trump's style. He feels he can get a better deal by being a bully. And if he has the leverage, he is probably right. No one is going to give us a better deal because we're "nice."
That being said, there is much more to diplomacy than negotiating trade deals and Trump has to be careful that he is hurting our long term relationship with important allies like Canada.
Good article. I have to admit, this is where #Trump excels. He has a knack for finding and exploiting weakness in others and using that to his own advantage. Whether you like Trump or not, I think it is worth letting this play out.
The Korean war started almost 70 years ago! I don't think you can use that as any sort of analogy here. Everything is different.
That being said, I agree that #Trump had nothing to do with Korea coming to the negotiating table. Years of crippling sanctions and their own failed nuclear experiments have forced them to give up and negotiate. The North Korean people are starving, and attaining nuclear capability has proven to be a pipe dream for them. Kim Jong Um is actually quite savvy to see the writing on the wall and to instead use nuclear abandonment as a negotiating tactic to end sanctions and improve the state of his country.
Whether he truly believes in peace is irrelevant. He's realized he needs to throw in the towel. Many a dictator failed to recognize this. And I for one am hopeful that North Korea will realize quite quickly that peace is far more lucrative than war.
As we should all know, erecting trade barriers among close trading partners has an adverse effect on the economy. Sadly, many of these effects occur long term. This means the one implementing them may only have to deal with the #inflation caused by their actions and not the disfigurement of their economy and the gradual shift of trade away from the country implementing one sided trade barriers which are usually illogical because they usually do more harm than good and cause massive unforeseen results because they let he opposing side do one sided actions as well.
There should be a basic economic test the Republican party requires before a candidate is elected because #Trump's position on this is more liberal than even Clinton's which is depressingly sad coming from a person who's suppose to be a businessman.

Scary! You should add #Micron to the list. China just banned their chips in retaliation for #Trump's #tariffs. Half of $MU's sales are to China:

The Achilles Heel Of Trump's Tariffs

The Achilles Heel Of Trump's Tariffs
So what is the opposing argument? If #tariffs are so obviously bad, why are #Trump and his supporters pushing so hard for them?

Yes Angry Old Lady, likely as a way to compensate for #Trump's other insecurities such as his small hands ;-)

I agree that it does seem to me that much of #Trump's motivations stem for his need to simply always come out on top.

Will Canadian Boycott Start With Kentucky Whiskey?
I agree Gary. I understand #Trump's concerns about China, but Canada? Why make an enemy with such a close ally and trusted partner?
