That was a nice job of laying the groundwork for claiming it was all a failure long before the outcome is known. You've arrived at your conclusion before the game is over and in the absence of any data.

At best, you can only point to a volatile stock market. And it's true, at present we are off almost 6% YTD, but also up 5% at 52 weeks. The sky is hardly falling. That said, we could be off another 1000points by Friday.

But it's only Trump and his lackeys doing the "spinning".

While I'm not a fan of tariffs, is there really a free market? China and others tariff our products, steal our intellectual property, pay a pittance in wages as part of communist regimes and add other controls.

The hard working citizens of the middle class USA have been getting screwed by unfair free trade Globalist policies for over 50 years. Then one guy named Donald Trump almost gets himself killed because he wants to get a better deal for us comes along.

And people want to hate him and bash him for it? What kind of Slave Mentality do those people suffer from?

But Trump‘s wide ranging tariffs are not in response to actual tariffs.


You couldn't be more wrong. They are in response to tariffs AND other things. It was never a one-purpose tariff policy. In case you were not aware:

1) Tariff countries that are involved in getting fentanyl into the USA
2) Tariff countries helping illegals get to USA
3) Tariff countries taking american jobs
4) tariff countries putting tariffs on american goods and services

The tariff policy has always been about USA first and whatever that will encompass.

I don’t get all the “he folded like a bitch!” rhetoric. Especially if he pulls back and things improve. Judging literally everything through the lens of “ha did this make his trying look dumb or not” is ridiculous.


It's all the Trump-haters have left. Trump took on every attack and came out stronger. He fights for the average American, and that really pisses off the TDS crowd.
