Hey Whell! Your Dear Leader said trade wars are “easy to win”. He took credit for the rising stock market, though it was just a continuation of Obama's great legacy. Ya think he’ll now take credit for the steep declines in the markets? NASDAQ composite down another 3% so far today, lots of analysts predicting 10% or more coming. The only real effect is rising prices for consumers, and declining 401Ks for millions.

So much winning! Are you finally sorry you voted for this incompetent buffoon?

Trump Urges Americans to Boycott Chinese Goods and Just Buy Things at Walmart

By Andy Borowitz12:06 P.M.

Quote:
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Asking for their solidarity in his trade war with China, Donald Trump is urging Americans to boycott Chinese goods and “just buy things at Walmart.”

Trump made his request via Twitter, where he told his fellow-citizens that it was their “patriotic duty” to punish China by buying as many goods at Walmart as possible.

“If you go to a great american store like Walmart, you’ll find lots of cheap sportswear, shoes, and other items for you and your family to enjoy,” he tweeted. “What better way to show China that we don’t need their dumb stuff!”

Shortly after Trump sent those marching orders to his countrymen, the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, offered a muted response. “I’m beginning to see how he lost a billion dollars,” Xi said.
ROFL

Donny’s own top economic adviser gives lie to his trade war rhetoric

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...-war-rhetoric/

This clown administration just keeps the lunacy coming. I do hope our economy can withstand this incompetence.
