    Ironically, after lying repeatedly about who actually pays the tariffs, trump cited 'Christmas shopping season' as a reason for crying 'Uncle' again.



    You can't have it both ways. Either consumers are paying the taxes, or they aren't. Which is it?

    In the end, we'll see that it was the 2000 point drop in the Dow that forced him to apologize to China.



    That IS ironic, isn't it? I said almost exactly the same thing to Mr. Owl last night when we were watching the national news, and they had a clip of the Bankrupt-in-Chief bloviating that China is paying for the tariffs, not us.

    Meanwhile, looks like the Dow is tanking today.

    So much winning.

    LMAO. Placing orders has nothing to do with importing orders. He imposed tariffs in January as well.

    I agree. So I'll ask you again, as I did weeks ago...

    Why isn't trump offering Fed money for retooling/opening factories in this country in order to fulfill your idea?

    Reminding you that you voted for an incompetent and dim-witted reality TV game show host is not cheering against America.

    It is reminding you of your abject incompetence in being able to judge what person is able to competently lead the U.S. and deserves to hold the office of the presidency.

    Remember when pointing out the irony/inconsistencies in every trump move/comment gave us a modicum of satisfaction?

    Now it's become the norm. Even conservatives know enough to 'wait one day' for what trump will do as he backtracks from yesterday's claim/action

    LMAO...you truly are an idiot. Wanna cite that '98% success rate'? Or are you claiming that trump succeeded in failing at everything in his adult life?

    Whereas the tariffs have indeed affected China's economy, they have hurt our economy more. And...a communist economy can wait out a capitalist economy every time. And succeed.

    Why do you think trump caved? The market is tanking under his foolishness.

    As if we should be surprised.

    Orders consist of goods.

    You are too stupid to continue this discussion.

    China can't really be alienated -it's the world's number 2 economy.
    but much more alienating Russia (sanctions) strengthens the China/Russia alliance since Russia loses western access -forcing into the Sino orbit ( SCO etc)

    fucking idiot. Manufacturing jobs are up 500k under Trump after losing 200k under Obama.
    Trump has incentivized them back with lower taxes and regs.
