Remember who make the decision to move the business to place where the labour are cheaper so to made more money. You the American made that choice. Not just to china from states to states too. So it is not other people’s fault and so irresponsible to play this blaming games. 😂😂😂

The reason Asians refuse to buy Edomite products like toxic Dr. Pepper and flop Ford cars is because the product is shit. Asians have high standards: Sony, Panasonic, Acura, Infinity, Fujitsu, Nikon, Canon, etc. Now what does the Donald produce? Defunct Trump University? 😂

Starting something then not knowing what to do next will bring unexpected consequences.thats where we are now. The planned revolution. Incite turmoil into a well regulated system then cause everything backfire. Opportunities arise that only the creator will know to take advantage of the moment. Create controlled panic. Destabilize the comfort zones, drive economy into a wrecking ball type scenario and capitalize on the outcome. By the time things partly return to before the fiasco, money has been made to only those initiating it. The truth of it is that djt doesn’t care about the little guy or even the bigger one. He cares about djt and the family that supports him. All others must perish.

Why does Trump the stump find ways to outrage most Americans.what could be the reason for destabilizing prices?
Could it be that this is the secondary cause. The primary effect might just be to cover the third application. When chaos abounds people will focus on immediate results and not the planned obfuscation.

Such a straight talk report. It would seem that unfortunately the working families are the ones bearing the brunt of the tariffs costs due to increasing prices and lack of ability to work due to the tariff impact on businesses.

It seems to me if America can't control it's spending ie trade deficit with China that is just American spending by its people if you can't afford it don't buy it by putting tarrifs on stating that China is ripping America off and will be paying the tariff is nothing but a blunt admission by trump that he is a thief ( but America pays the tarrifs Donald ) you're an economic moron and can't be trusted now you are quite quickly destroying your own country and blaming not only China but the rest of the world there is only one person to blame narcissist looked at his reflection in the water fell in love with himself ended up falling in and drowning don't go near the water hazards on your golf course donny

What do you think will happen to the demand & prices for natural resources when China is producing for its own citizens? When a population 3 times as the U.S. all want refrigerators, cars & all the energy that goes with the modern life? What happens to the mining sector, rubber, steel & metals, electro chemical & oil & gas sector? There is NO solution in the current system where China runs a economy totally incompatible to the U.S. The Chinese GDP has increased by an average of 7% since the year 2000, but the international investors has lost 3/4 of their money during the same time. China steals intellectual property at a scale never seen. But the worst thing is that they are using extensive bribe policy to control natural resources around the world. Every thing they say they will do they don't do. They enslave their population and steals the money for the labor they produce. That money is building a country that is so unequal that the west is nothing compared to it. Over 50% of the national spending on defense goes to the security police. It is worse that the SD in Nazi Germany. China must be taken seriously & we need to stop treating it as a developing country and let them get the benefits from that trade status. They must be moved up to WTO developed country status and they have to join the international patent organization.
