Not sure what great benefit the American worker gets from continued Chinese labor other than cheaper products and fewer jobs. The PMI has been putrid before tariffs were increased this week and won't be getting better any time soon so manufacturing layoffs will continue.
Farmers have been suffering already from China buying from Brazil and other countries. Not really sure if the government payments to farmers are as equitable as free market capitalism. But it's very interesting all you guys denounce socialism to the degree that you do when this president is enacting it right in plain sight. lol
Tariffs are a tax on American consumers that will be felt as soon as companies can no longer afford to eat the cost increases. Once this economy loses the consumer, the next recession will begin. The flattening yield curve has already signaled the inevitable.
A tariff resolution before the election might delay it some but this has already been the longest running bull market in history. The only direction may be lower. The Donald is really playing with fire with world trade. But I guess the nobility and protectionism of it is something you guys buy rather easily.
No, China manipulated their currency and was one reason the tariffs were increased. So it costs more for Chinese goods imported this week than it did last week. On December 15th more electronics will be included in the tariffs. Basically a new tax.The companies are not eating the costs James, China is manipulating their prices to make up for it.
If companies were eating it, or consumers, they would find an alternative to China. Do you think China wants that? No.
I do buy it, I give a damn about the average American having a chance at a decent job to support a family. Have you already forgotten how most thought the American dream was gone prior to the last election?
China is our greatest threat, they are a communist nation with a long view of the US being diminished. That concerns me, and it should concern you as well.
Seriously doubt those two are laughing at Trump. He beat one in an election and is destroying the other's legacy.

I know you buy everything he says. No worries.
The December 15th delay of tariffs is basically a favor to Tim Cook of Apple who has been lobbying Trump to exclude cell phones.
It can take years for a business to change their entire supply chain if everything is made in China. lolIt’s not about what Trump says, it’s about what is happening. That is what is happening James.
How long do you think consumers will buy cheaply made products from China that cost more? Not long, they’ll get it from somewhere else. If you were China would you want that?
It has nothing to do with Trump, he just happens to be the only leader we’ve had with the balls to do it.
China is banking on folks like you.
"You guys"??? Don't clump me in with you and yours myopic ways. I have voted for R's and D's alike, depending on what kind of person they really are. Trump has some good ideas about things, but he has no idea how to go about getting them done. His bullying, egomaniac ways rub many good people the wrong way. Not many on the "right" will speak up about the type of person Trump really is. They only care that he is a Republican and that's all that matters.
What I find most humorous about this is how the left mocks religion for the same thing.
Dog sick again?
This Alabama thing has gone from hilarious to just plain pathetic. Trump dragged a fox news corespondent into the oval office today. Told him he was always right about the hurricane and the fox news anchors were being unfair to him and needed to stop making fun of him. What kind of unhinged lunatic gets hung up on something so stupid? Just say you got confused from an early projection and let it go. He has completely lost his mind. Even the conservative news people were laughing at him today. Sad.
Another personal attack. You are a POS loser. Yes he is old and on meds for his hips.
But you keep being the POS and are.
What I find most humorous about this is how the left mocks religion for the same thing.
Yeah you see a few religious nutters standing on street corners with a "the end nigh" sign but that doesn't even begin to compare to climate change nutters.
Millions of them including presidential candidates not only stand on street corners with their "the end is nigh" signs but they also incessantly shout it from the rooftops.
Yes 3 days before Trump started this shit. The guard is activated if there is even a 1% chance. By then the guard had stood down. You can just admit that Trump is acting like a ****ing spoiled idiot.
Link to photos of multimillion strong climate crowds standing on street corners?
There not literally on street corners. It's an analogy you dope. It's much worse. Like I said they're screaming it from the rooftops (another analogy).
They're at work, home, out in public, on social media, on national TV, on debate stages, on Capitol Hill etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. They're all "the end is nigh" nutters.
We just witnessed a 7 hour marathon of 20 D politician presidential candidates stand on a stage and scream from the top of their lungs that the end is nigh and they received thunderous applause.
Again the left has a disdain for religion and makes fun of the nutters for their apocalyptic beliefs yet they're all in on the world ending in 12 years.
The few and far between doomsday religious nutters don't even begin to compare to the climate change nutters who also have a much larger platform.
Some homeless drunk standing on a corner screaming repent is not equal to congressional leaders on national TV promising the world's demise.
I find the double standard and hypocrisy humorous especially since the left's doomsday nutters are more extreme and are actually in the mainstream.

His own tweet today show projections of 5% for Alabama to get the lowest possible winds classified as tropical storm. And of course these were 2 days before he went all in on Bama. He got an updated projection that morning that showed none of this. He's a nut
The ole Trump is just pretending to be mentally handicapped routineEvery time you post this or your comrades comment about this Alabama situation you play directly into trumps hands. This is straight from his playbook. He loves to see his opponents go apoplectic. By getting you to focus on this its a diversion. He wants you to think he’s unhinged he wants you posting and perpetuating a meaningless snafu. You guys need to wake up to who really looks unhinged and fools. Trump played the idiot left wing media and he continues to play the left all over social media. You guys can’t help yourself to fall into his trap. He tells you what he’s going to do. What his strategy is and you play into anyway. That takes a certain type of special.
I feel like every comment on social media just makes trump stronger. No one in history has gotten more free press than this president. He thanks you.
What kind of unhinged lunatic gets hung up on something so stupid?
False, you have no clue what Trump does daily. You only have what CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and all of the other lying media tells you to believe and like a good little socialist/commie you walk lockstep with propaganda news.This Alabama thing has gone from hilarious to just plain pathetic.

There are daily calls for violence against liberals and immigrants in this thread completely openly. But no poor wittle white males are in danger because of my of scary dog whistles...
Yes 3 days before Trump started this shit. The guard is activated if there is even a 1% chance. By then the guard had stood down. You can just admit that Trump is acting like a ****ing spoiled idiot.
This is them less than a day later, 2 days before Trump started this insanity.
No, what matters is just how awful the alternatives on the left are."You guys"??? Don't clump me in with you and yours myopic ways. I have voted for R's and D's alike, depending on what kind of person they really are. Trump has some good ideas about things, but he has no idea how to go about getting them done.

China has bent over any US business willing to grab their ankles. If it wasn't fair, why do business with them in the first place? It can't get any lamer than crying foul whilst earning billions. If the president wants a Trump Tower in Hong Kong, just say so. All he's really doing is crushing manufacturing and farming which will undoubtedly come back to bite him in the ass.
Why would China or any other country have our best interest at heart?
Many believe the rake hikes were long overdue but here's the thing, inflation has been low and jobs have been strong for a decade. But the bottom-line is the fed is independent of presidential politics no matter what gets tweeted. When the economy weakens, they cut. When it's strong, they raise.
If only these damn leftists were half as smart as they think they are.
You should've lost hope when nothing changed, but no, have to go full retard.
