Stand your ground Mr president!

American consumers have paid $900,000 in tariffs for every steel job produced.

lehimesa The worst president ever. Tariffs are paid by you & I. This is not a trade deal policy. It's called winging it because Trump believed it 30 yrs. ago & he doesn't update his brain. Not smart wo a script from NBC.

Worsening eh?

Anyone see Market manipulation here. We. Do. “Sheep”: “What do you get for pretending the danger’s not real?”

They are making moves to ensure they don't need us if you read the Chinese side of this. If we lose China, we lose the world, and our economy is toast.

Way to go Trumpy.

The Communist Chinese are aligned with the old money Globalists - like the Rothschlids who own the Associated Press.
