CNN is so happy when China devalues their currency and Americans lose money. CNN is the enemy of the people CNN is fake news

CNN’s ratings are worse.

Well. He is a business man they said. Not a politician. He will do better they said. He is not a politician. The art of the deal they said he is not a politician. Well... come on. Add this to the list growing of lies, bluffs, mistakes, and oh how about his true history...lol

Well, we have a stable genius in the White House. We should have seen this coming.

China makes money less valuable. Priceless 😂😂

China isn’t a simple country! The fall is drastic!

Awesome move against the non-existent strategy of OrangeBabyDicktator

Trade wars are good and easy to win?

So China sent 500 billion in goods. trump tries to turn that 500B into 1 trill using tariffs. So the poor pay twice as much because China goods flood poor communities. trump keeps 500 and China gets 500🤔 Reminds me of the crack game...smh

normal for the stock market to fluctuate; up and down. stop the hysteria. constantly going up isn't normal or healthy. all rights reserved

Feel like winning yet?

Trump is manipulating the market again. Wish we could see his tax returns, and see how much stock he sold yesterday. Only an idiot would not expect China to fight back
