I was listening to Fox News Business tonight and one of the commenters claimed that farmers were willing to make the sacrifice to fight the trade deficit, it appears that taxpayers are bearing the brunt of the cost.

It took the bad 0range man to finally take a stand against China
Please explain how Trump’s trade war has anything to do with theft of intellectual property. We will wait.

Everyone receiving government money thinks THEY are the deserving ones.

What is Trump's Plan B?

Xi Jinxing can outlast Trump on the waiting game. HE is president for life. Xi doesn't have to worry about re-election. Trump does.

I love when Trump tells his lemmings that money is 'pouring in' from the tariffs. Is it? Pouring in from where? The American taxpayers?

Trump is a fool.

I just want farmers to admit that they have their hands out for all the pork they can get and for them to stop pretending to be conservative small government advocates when they aren’t.
And let's know forget the red state Trumpists who are collecting disability for their sore elbow.

I just saw an article headline that said those farmers are losing patience. Ya think?

Also, China could not care less about its people. They are all about the state.

So you have no problem with AMERICAN CITIZENS getting welfare and Medicaid and other assistance? Don't I hear a lot of conservatives rail against people living off the government? Nobody wants government handouts until they need them. Talk about hypocrisy.
