China scores the first victory Trump’s trade war

Have you heard of reciprocal tariffs?  That's all he's doing and it's easily fixed, they drop theirs.  Why should the USA be tariffed and they get to trade freely?


Look up "reciprocal" in the dictionary. The Turd doesn't know what the word means, apparently, but even you (your internet argument personality) should.

 

Hint: you're at a party with your friends, and suddenly, you start punching them in the face, that isn't "reciprocal."

  It was determined by trade deficit - not those countries' tariffs.    Many of the countries on his list dont tariff our goods....we just buy more from them then they buy from us.

 

 


I just see the headlines, I had no idea this is how his administration determined the tariffs for each country.

 

 So if I import more of "X" because I don't have it, and you buy less of "y" because you don't have it, I put a tariff on you to make it equal. What an idiot! And MAGA believes this is good business, wow, what a bunch of low-info voters.

Yes, he did start a tariff war. How much do you think the welfare bailout for the farmers will be this time? It was $23 billion last time he wrecked their export market.

Dang, why am I always right. Hey MAGA are you taking account of the welfare for farmers in cost savings calculations?

 

Yea, I didn't think so. They voted again for the handouts, why work their land when Trump will pay them not to. The fascist MAGA welfare state.

  You should have stopped at ", I didn't think"......By the way, you aren't "always right".

  Presently, I have none - I prefer to see how things pan out BEFORE making statements that have no current basis or validity. All PJ ever does is post unproven or distorted "facts" that are normally taken out of context.

OK, I get it, wait for some random Facebook poster to tell you how to think. A 77-year-old Texas idiot, waiting for other people's talking points, welcome to the dumbing down of America.

 

You had no problem predicting a Biden outcome, of course MAGA was on overtime looking for things to talk about. 

  Random? The Facebook postings/videos I make are posts that have been made TO Facebook from verifiable sources.The videos don't lie.  You calling me a 77 year old "idiot" I will take as a compliment, considering the source.  If I wanted to base my decisions on YOUR talking points, I would be as obtuse as you are. By the way, everything I said in the past about brain dead Biden is currently being verified by multiple sources. MAGA never had to look "overtime" - the facts were there for ALL to see for years. If you had of pulled your head out of your ass and kept it out, you would have seen what everyone with a functioning brain saw.
