    Trump fires back at Beijing with threat of new tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/18/tru...or-additional-tariffs-at-10-percent-rate.html

    Monday's development is the latest chapter of escalating trade tensions between the world's two largest economies. On Friday, the U.S.announced a 25 percent tariff on up to $50 billion of Chinese products. That triggered an immediate response from Chinese President Xi Jinping's administration, which declared a 25 percent tariff on $34 billion of U.S. goods that are due to take effect on July 6.

    "It's one thing to retaliate with $50 billion here and $50 billion there but when the [U.S.] president trots out another $200 billion, that's quite concerning," Max Baucus, former U.S. ambassador to China under President Barack Obama, told CNBC.

    It has been a while, but for a long time Walmart was criticized for not buying American. They were buying all of these Chinese goods rather than "Made in the USA" goods. I suspect everyone is about to get their wish.

    Lefties have a very short memory when it comes to tariffs. Before the election that hillary was going to win, they were all for tariffs and American jobs. Go figure.

    That's what cultists do. In their minds, if Don does it, it must be the right thing. If Don does it, it must not be against the law. If something bad happens, it must be someone else's fault.
    Deteriorating relations with allies are their fault.
    A fruitless PR stunt with N. Korea is a resounding success.
    Taking kids away from their parents at the border is Dem's fault.
    The IG's report finding no political bias proves political bias.
    Starting a potentially devastating trade war is the fault of prior admins.
    A legitimate investigation controlled by Repubs is a witch hunt.
    Breaking the Iran agreement Iran was complying with is Iran's fault.
    Not defending protections for pre-existing conditions is better coverage for everyone.
    Firing Comey for the Russia thing is Comey's fault.
    11 members of the campaign having contacts with Russians is having no contacts with Russians.
    Denial is acknowledgement, lies are truth, narcissism is humility, depravity is virtue.

    Starting a trade war, which will increase unemployment, is saving jobs.

    When they were complaining about Walmart, the Chinese goods coming in was creating unemployment. Now the Chinese goods not coming in will create unemployment.

    That would be a historic implosion.

    So we can count on the stock market being cut in half in value at least once every Republican Administration?

    I'm going to write Trump and demand he impose a huge "tarriff" or something similar on left-think and the general stupidity that goes with it, as that is a far greater threat to the security and stability of the nation than anything else on the table today.

    Not sure how we would implement it. Maybe an export rule; you ain't happy here, we export you to Venezuela.
    I'll buy a one way ticket for somebody, and I'm sure we can find millions of others willing to do the same.

    All were reasons malcontent lefties told us Trump would be ousted from office for well over 500 days, yet after his landslide election win, his approval ratings still continue to rise.

    Really, because Hartmann said it, then it's Democratic Party gospel?

    The Democrats aren't like Republicans, if it's broadcasted on Putin's Fox News you have to believe it or be cast out.

    Hartmann is just one guy with an opinion.

    Thanks, I had forgotten about...............

    Losing the popular vote by 3M votes is a landslide victory.

    I'll add it to the list.

    Best advice, stay heavy in pharmaceuticals. The unhinged lefties are eating them like popcorn. To bad we can't invest in therapists or "safe spaces".

    Well I simply go by what's actually happening and leave the propaganda bullshit for the leftist to feed on.. Proof is in the pudding so they say, and todays numbers show Trumps approval rating up and 15% of Democrat voters are even approving of his economy..

    The leftist better find a new direction because even their base is not buying the nonsense anymore LOLOL

    Trump received 57% of the electoral votes which are the only votes that count in a presidential election.
