"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has days to decide whether to impose tariffs on nearly $160 billion in Chinese consumer goods just weeks before Christmas, a move that could be unwelcome in both the United States and China."

"The White House’s top economic and trade advisers, including Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Larry Kudlow, Peter Navarro, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin are expected to meet in coming days with Trump over that decision, one person briefed on the situation said. There is still no clarity on what the decision will be."
My guess ... Donny figures out Christmas is right around the corner. Tariffs might hurt his 'I'm for the Little Guy' image that he is trying to promote. So, Dimwit Donny puts his finger into the wind, ...
... and declares 'We are so close to the Biggest Deal in the History of the World' ... that I am going to delay the Tariffs.
Anybody on Red Team want to dispute this? Teflon Don?

President Trump will make the decision based on what is best for America...he always puts America first.

They have the Toy Fairs in February. Christmas orders and wholesale prices are locked in months and months ahead of time, and most order contracts are signed 6 to 10 months in advance.
Libs just don't understand how supply chains, manufacturing and business works. Tariffs at this time would not affect Christmas prices. If you think retialiers and wholesalers are placing Christmas orders in the month of Dec., you are misinformed.
Don't doubt me.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.
