quick arithmetic for ya River:
When stock market is barely up in 18 months vs, up ~10% per year for past 8-9 years this is a bad-thing

Bringing the Chinese to the bargaining table through tariffs has produced a
record high stock market.
As well as record low unemployment for blacks and Hispanics.

And, for this that dont understand.. Tariffs are paid by American Importers and ultimately American consumers.
Not China.
No surprise here. Democrats are now the ones who want to stay in the Middle East.

Accept the fact that China is an enemy of not just the US but basically the entire human race and and the planet itself.
But hey if your stock can go up a few points through slave labor, human rights violations, the destruction of the planet well what the hell, right?

No, we don't. We also don't want to run away like a beaten dog with their tail between their legs.

WHAT?
Trump says he imosed tariffs as punishment not as a tax revenue increase. Where have you been for almost three years --- lol.
You folks just make up stories in your head....

Timely given that headlines are reporting an easing of tariffs?
So is the market up because of lowering of tariffs or up because of the tariffs?
Come on kids -- get your stories straight?
