Every time Trump opens his trap on tariffs, the markets crap; he and closed friends are making bundle.

The next President will re-regulate the Media & breakup the Billionaire owned 'News'. I will push to hold 'News' anchors accountable for ignoring the American Genocide now in progress. Dem's just backed GOP Austerity & Trump just cut food stamps.

The earlier Donald Trump is removed from his Presidential post, the safer will our entire world and economy be including the US of A. The world cannot afford to have such a maverick and whimsical joker run the world's no 1 and a strong country like USA.

Idiot

He's just market manipulating. He gives zero fucks about anything but money.
