Tariffs are a negotiating tactic, hth, otherwise why would the Chinese budge an inch, they need a small fire lit under their asses to move anywhere at all. They've been cheating on trade for years, and benefiting handsomely. Even they know the jig will be up if they don't make some concessions and throw Trump a bone.

They responded with their own tariff. HTH

$5 billion or something like that compared to our $50 billion. Please. That's a hand slap, just something so that Xi doesn't appear weak. Xi will be coming to the negotiating table.

I’m hearing Trump will never sign a bill like that again!

In fact, trump may never sign another bill ever again. Certainly not in 2018.

Trump’s 2-year legislative agenda? “Thud” indeed.

you seem upset

How's everyone's portfolio looking after the last few days? The stock market was the one thing the Donald could point to that has improved since he took office and he managed to fuck it up with his archaic view on economics.

The SP500 is up over 11% since Trump took office.

but still
