[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stock market is not liking the Trump tarriffs.[/quote]

Yea, if you get into a fist fight, your fist is going to sting a little from pounding the other guy's face in. [/quote]

Hundreds of years of data would suggest that both sides are going to suffer from this trade war.  But keep going on with your crude metaphors... :roll: [/quote]

Yea, I have to use a crude metaphor because the liberals seem so focused on wishing ill on Trump's efforts that they forget whose side they are on. Trump is doing this because China is cheating/stealing from the US, that's all of us, every man, woman, and child, immigrant or citizen. Every one of us.

If Trump is successful in getting China to trade more fairly, then both the US and China stands to benefit greatly in the future. Hundreds of years of history shows that sometimes a war is necessary. [/quote]
Exactly. Thank you.[/quote]

Yes, but Trump will not be successful at getting China to trade more effectively.  [/quote]

Thank you, Nostradamus. What are the winning Powerball numbers for the next drawing? [/quote]

There is only one person in the whole country who wants a trade war with China, and he has the attention span of a gnat.  He'll get distracted and that will be that.

This trade war won't be successful.  Just painful.[/quote]

Your talking points are contradicting with reality. Trump was talking about unfair China trade practices during his presidential campaign, promising that if he was elected president, he would get China to change their behavior. Shortly after starting his presidency in early 2017, just a few days before his first meeting with Xi, Trump signs executive orders asking for studies and a plan of tariff increases that can be used as leverage against China. After multiple rounds of studies and discussions with industry representatives, the US unveils what the proposed tariff increase schedule would look like. The first round went into effect in March of 2018, second round in July of 2018, and third round of increases in September of 2018. A fourth round of increases was scheduled for end of 2018 but a truce was called as China was feeling the hurt - their stock market was down over 20% at that point since the start of Trump's presidency.

If these are the actions and results of a distracted gnat, then what is Xi in comparison, a comatose slug? [/quote]
