The Trump disciples will always love Trump and vote for him, despite of the huge nonsense he is making. I call it the "Barking Monster (33-45) phenomenon".

A worldwide escalation of the trade tensions between the US and its major trading partners would have consequences for global trade equivalent to the 2008 financial crisis, the World Bank has warned.

Using conservative estimates to assess the risks to the world economy from rising economic nationalism of the kind promoted by Donald Trump, the Washington-based organisation warned of “severe consequences” for world trade and economic growth, with the harshest impact reserved for developing nations.

Under the scenario outlined in its latest global economic prospects report published on Tuesday, the bank found a broad-based increase in the use of import tariffs worldwide – to the maximum levels permitted by the World Trade Organisation – would trigger a decline in global trade amounting to 9%.

White House Analysis Finds Tariffs Will Hurt Growth, as Officials Insist Otherwise

More idiocy from this fake administration.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/07/u...fs-growth.html

WASHINGTON — A White House economic analysis of President Trump’s trade agenda has concluded that Mr. Trump’s tariffs will hurt economic growth in the United States, according to several people familiar with the research.

The findings from the White House Council of Economic Advisers have been circulated only internally and not publicly released, as is often the case with the council’s work, making the exact economic projections unknown. But the determination comes as top White House officials continue to insist publicly that Mr. Trump’s trade approach will be “massively good for the U.S. economy.”
Stupid is as stupid does.

WTF does Chuck have to do with the WH contradicting itself? You really do have reading comprehension issues, or you’re an idiot; most likely both.

Well, first of all, you're publishing an "alleged" contradiction, because the NYT story is based on a leak.

The findings from the White House Council of Economic Advisers have been circulated only internally and not publicly released, as is often the case with the council’s work, making the exact economic projections unknown.

But hey, feel free to circulate the fake news.

The point is, however, that in posting the NYT story, you're also pushing the idea that tariffs "must" be hurtful, and Trump is "stupid" for using them.

However, both Trump and Schumer are both asking for Canada to address the "dairy" tariff. So I guess they both want to "hurt economic growth", as your leaked, fake news NYT article contends?


I'm not making this claim, but it wouldn't surprise me if Trump and Schumer were working out some kind of deal with Trump addressing one of Schumer's policy concerns. I wonder what Trump might get in return, if true?

There you go, putting words in my mouth, and completely missing the point again. Sigh. No wonder you’re a Trumpie, you just don’t get much of anything.

Maybe your "points" are just non-sense. Chicklet's latest post as a perfect example: a NYT story Chicks thinks is somehow significant. However, the writer of the NYT story hasn't even seen the document upon which the story is based.
