This is simple biased opinion not based on any facts. We've got record employment, unemployment at 50 year lows, the stock market trading at levels never seen before, booming housing, booming everything. Trumps policies ARE working.

Stock market back to Jan 2018 levels. Obama left office Jan 2017. Do the math.
After Obama inherited the worst economy in generations from deficit loving GWB, he managed to turn things around and triple the djia off the bottom.
Trump exempted clothing items on the first round of tariffs. Subsequently? I'm not sure.
Either way, it allowed enough time for them to maneuver for their own business dealings with China.

Our industries moved there on their own. It wasn't the fault of the Chinese.
Farmers who export get hurt. Business that sent jobs to China not so much.
No, that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about Chinese companies, supported by their government systematically targeting one industry to take over after another. For instance, the furniture industry.
"Makers of kitchen cabinets and other hardwood assembly pieces found in almost every American home filed a lawsuit against their Chinese competitors on Wednesday, asking the International Trade Commission to impose anti-dumping barriers and tariffs on China.
The roughly $10 billion industry says it is slowly being wiped out by China companies like Panda Kitchen and Golden Home, based on a petition filed with the Department of Commerce today by the American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance (AKCA)".
"The United States has lost much of its furniture and textile industries, and China is now targeting American kitchen cabinets in the same way,†says Mark A. Trexler, president and CEO of Master Woodcraft Cabinetry in Texas. “China’s illegal trade practices like dumping and subsidies are hurting American workers and consumers, and today’s filing is the first step in standing up to China".
"Based on the petitioner's filing with the International Trade Commission today, Chinese producers and exporters sold or offered for sale kitchen cabinet merchandise in the United States at prices below normal value. They calculated dumping margins ranging from 175.5% to 259% with an average margin of 216%".
"The Department of Commerce is required to impose so-called countervailing duties on imported merchandise from a country where producers and exporters of that merchandise benefit from countervailable subsidies. As a nonmarket economy, China has long maintained a complex system of economic programs and policies that have favored certain industries or provided some sort of economic relief to help companies maintain employment and grow market share at home and abroad".
Between that and all those illegals caught working at trump properties, I don't know how Maga fans can go to sleep at night being that hypocritical
Once people put on those Trump goggles, everything positive thing they see, they give him the credit. I have friends that have lost their jobs because of his tariffs on foreign aluminum and steel imports. Its just beginning.

Ahh so now we are back to insulting Trump supporters along with personal anecdote as evidence that something is wrong.

It's only the poor TDS afflicted individual, completely busted over being proved wrong about Russia, still insanely made about Hillary's loss, which spends day after day, hour after hour, constantly looking for something to complain about with Trump. Lot's of noise, little accomplished. This topic is yet another example.
Of course! The farmers can just go to town and get a job at a McDonalds!
