Since US companies now will get higher costs than European competitors, plenty of US based companies will struggle to compete against European or other Asian imports with cheaper input costs.

Its foolish to think that a man who packs his administration with Wall Street big wigs is interested in the well being of the average worker. Trade deals are being written as we speak by Wall Street, not labor unions. Protecting jobs is absolutely not in the interest of Wall Street.

Yup. You caught me red handed. I'm just a bum.

Or am I what was the common one, a paid Russian poster?
I snuck aboard the K19 and watched tons of American movies...

There is no shame in that, and I love finding a deal, but really? Americans must now by other's cast-offs in order to be able to afford what they need?

Is that what we are striving for?

Don't get me wrong, when I was young and poor, I did the same thing. Now I would like a warranty with my appliances, and would like to buy exactly what I want, in the right size and color, not just what I can find that is close enough.

Listen. I don't appreciate prices going up for no good reason. If my house, food, medical and day-to-day stuff doesn't take my whole budget, I use the rest to go on vacation, or buy stuff for the kids, or donate to charities.

To be charged more because.... well because the President doesn't like that we buy reasonably priced stuff from over seas........ well, I just won't buy stuff.

I also don't like the thought that I know have to pay more for a new home for no good reason, so maybe I just won't.

If people stop buying, how is that good for the economy? How is that good for our workers? How is that good at all?

Um, Trump's Wall Street hires left - even they thought he was nuts and bad for the economy.

He wouldn't LISTEN to them. They were against tariffs. I think Cohn could have done some good, and he left in disgust.

Let a tyrant mobilize on domestic soil, you'll be thanking us "RWNJs" later.

Far as cardiac stints go. LOL you forget the scheme the medical industry pulls with 300-1000% markup on insurance companies and patients. Plus the labor for the surgeon to put them in.

Your argument = lemming liberal epic fail
We already have a spoiled, child-like, tyrant-in-training in charge and a lot of us will make sure he goes away ASAP. Since you seem to have so much anger over all those "gubmint regulations", we'll make sure your kids keep the water fountains with lead pipes in their schools and you can get those great asbestos brake pads for your car. After all, you wouldn't want to pay higher taxes or prices for things that work ...just fine! Breathe deep, Steve McQueen ...that Mesothelioma you have will be taken care of by Trump! Scott Pruitt and Betsy DeVos will see to it for sure! They're on your side!

They aren't weeping for Walmart. They're concerned about the higher prices people will pay because of the rantings of a fool!
