Fox Con. Perfect, another disaster in the making thanks to Donny’s ignorance.

Meanwhile, Harley-Davidson said on Tuesday that its earnings per share were essentially wiped out in the final quarter of 2018 after the company got caught up in President Trump's tariff war.

So much winning.

Somebody had to address China.

The previous admins, (Dems and Repubs) had allowed China to outfox them; so this one is holding a bad hand.

President Donald Trump’s trade war is magnifying some of the toughest farm conditions since the crisis that bankrupted thousands of farmers in the 1980s — and threatening a constituency crucial to his reelection hopes.

The president’s trade policies have sent U.S. agricultural exports plunging, exacerbating already difficult economic conditions facing farmers. Average farm income has fallen to near 15-year lows under Trump, and in some areas of the country, farm bankruptcies are soaring.

I'm shocked, shocked that Trump is so clueless about economics and trade policy.

The farmers understand the difficulty in countering China.

What they understand much better is bankruptcy.

Yes they understand how the Chicoms have bankrupted the West. How they took over places like Vancouver, Canada. How they took over strategic firms in countries like Germany. How they forced western firms into union and stole their intellectual property. How they bought powerful people from both sides of the US aisle.

Etc, etc.
The Chinese have outfoxed the West especially since joining WTO. The only mistake they made is announcing MADE IN CHINA 2025.

So I guess you've pretty much demolished the absurd idea of "white superiority/supremacy", then... Though I doubt that was the point you were TRYING to make, lol. MAGA!

The Commerce Department will almost certainly report Wednesday that — despite more than two years of President Trump’s “America First” policies — the United States last year posted the largest merchandise trade deficit in its 243-year history.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...4cf_story.html

So, it appears that Trump's economic and trade policies have both resulted in historically bad results. Surprise, surprise.

Deficit's only truly matter to the Republican "Conservatives" when Democrat's are in control!
So let us hope they regain control soon!
