Gee, all this winning is going to bankrupt our country, just like he bankrupted several of his own businesses.

Enough does that will hurt the American family. Economist project that we will see a $745 increase in the goods targeted in Trump's tariffs. Do you have that much money lying around to supplement price increases? Yeah we are a bunch of easy button wimps...

There is nothing in this for us to win.



It gets so old......"liberals". Is that all you see?
This is the tired old failed dem mantra- trade with China is GOOD!!

Well................. this "trade" has gutted our manufacturing sector. The left blamed automation, but that has been dispelled.

Trump is bringing manufacturing back to the US and helping the middle class.

Given that the left hates the middle class, they are opposed to Trump's initiatives. However, even the left's political leaders (Pelosi and Schumer) support his actions and want him to stand firm.

Why does the left hate America so much?

Seems like Donald Trump is a socialist after all.

Why is MY MONEY going to a bunch of farmers who voted for the dufus enacting laws that they don't like?

Let Trump donate money to Farm Aid from his fake foundation if he feels guilty.

Trade has done no such thing. Outsourcing jobs has.

Just like he is making Mexico pay for the wall.

Its not "your money". The aid Trump is giving to the farmers is from the tariff revenue.


The reason you support farmers is that you are an organic being and need to eat. Further, you don't want to pay $20 for a pound of hamburger or $10 for a loaf of bread.


The foodstamp program is closely tied to ag subsidies as well.


We, as humans, can live without I-phones, but we kind of need food to survive. Crops don't grow well on pavement, so large urban centers are dependent upon ag to survive.

You are completely 180 degrees wrong on so many levels, you should read a brief primer on US/foreign trade and it history.

The liberal solution: Roll over and let China destroy the US economy with unfair trade practices. If one is allowed to violate trade laws, why have any laws at all?

If I'm wrong, Trump's own people are wrong.
