Trump's New Midterm Threat: A Trade War Smacking Voters
« on: July 21, 2018, 02:05:03 am »
President Donald Trump’s trade wars could become a major political drag for Republicans, with job losses and price increases piling up just as voters head to the polls in November.

Trump jolted markets once again early Friday when he said he’s prepared to impose penalties on some $500 billion in Chinese goods regardless of the consequences that might ensue, economic or political. “Look, I’m not doing this for politics,” the president said on CNBC. “I’m doing this to do the right thing for our country.”

But market analysts, industry experts and economists warn that the economic fallout of the president’s tariffs — those that are already in effect and those he’s threatening to impose — is only going to intensify over the coming months and could reach a peak around election time.

Well, it IS Politico - however the markets do reflect the truth of what the author is hoping for aloud.

And yet, we are assured by the ForeverTrump®s here, that in no wise will the average American and voter feel ANY effect of these stupid tariffs and trade war policies.

Trump gives us an unlimited supply of moronic statements, tweets and contradictions daily.  There is always a new story to promote and discuss.

You do realize that normal people, people with lives and such.  (That would be most people and not us) Really do not care.

Good to have a president taking the Communists to task, not the morons who would have us bow to them and Saudi Arabia.

Of course they do not care.  Americans want a show, and to feel good.  They don't give a shit about facts, principles or morality.  It's how we got Clinton and Obama for two terms each and why Socialism is all the rage in Amerika.

As long as the internet, beer, porn and pizza is on tap "normal people" give two shits about liberty - unless it affects them directly, and usually it's to empower government to grow bigger and regulate and punish more.

So what's your excuse for responding than, are you implying that your not a normal person? Because I am normal person with a life and such,and whenever someone, be it the moron Moonbeam stealing out of my wallet with higher gas taxes or a Republican stealing out of my wallet with trade wars I care and so do the people I know and they aren't NeverTrumpers or EverTrumpers, they're just people trying to get by on limited income. You must be fortunate to have such a high income that you can afford the price increases us normal people will have to deal with.

Or could it be, as it appears, that you just enjoy trying to start flame wars?

President Donald Trump’s trade wars could become a major political drag for Republicans

More wishful thinking from the Commies in Stupidville. No one on the streets know what a trade war is and they don't care. More people are working and bringing home more money. That's all that matters at election time. Not what CNBC and their 3 viewers are panicking about.

But market analysts, industry experts and economists warn...

Right. These are the same professional eff ups that green lighted massive spending, massive trade imbalances, missed the economic collapse and said the Donny would never turn the economy around. No one gives a rat fart what these self important azzholes who never had a real job think.

Another rough week for ya? Pushing like hell like a lunatic in the street waving a bible that the world is ending because Trump is evil and no one cares. Must be rough It must be damn frustrating trying to convince the world it is flat when it is round.

No, that will be spun to place blame on the enemies of Trump in the deep state and those of us who do not matter in flyover country who don't genuflect Dear Leader to the satisfaction of the mob.

Trump is there to give his supporters what they want.   

Same as the acolytes for Obama wanted from their political messiah.

These bold moves will help the Republicans win more seats. Of course, the progressives hate this, Trump is no giving into Communists.
