    Do you own any US stocks?
    50% of America S&P 500 companies revenues come from outside the country.
    Do you want to tank them?
    Think globally.

    We are committed to making sure massively wealthy multinational companies can outsource mfg to foreign workers and countries and still have open access to our consumer markets after choosing against using us to make their products?

    How was this obligation assumed by the US consumer and who made those arrangements?

    If they want to invest overseas rather than here, that's fine, we are under no obligation to guarantee the nation they invest in, the right to run a trade surplus against companies that chose to invest and operate here, Silly!

    It's not my fault if they miss invested money, and I'm damn sure not going to work to make sure they have US market share against companies that chose to invest and hire here, or your other concern, make sure foreign producers have market share here so they can buy goods from American companies that invested in their country.

    I amazed at the long line of folks you think the US government should put ahead of the American Worker, hell, it seems like just about everyone!

    Stock earnings are a tiny fraction in this equation.

    The next President will be the same one as the current President. The Democrats need to throw a net over Mad Maxine and crazy Bernie if they want to make any gains in November.

    That's essentially what he did.

    Europe blinks. America wins. Trump shines.

    "President Donald Trump and European Union officials appeared to step back from a trade war on Wednesday as they struck a deal to work toward 'zero' tariffs, barriers and subsidies," the Guardian reported.​

    Harley blames Trump for its incompetence

    The good news is that Harley-Davidson is selling more motorcycles overseas. The bad news is U.S. sales continue to slow. The worst news is Harley is blaming President Trump for it woes.

    Sad.
