My head hurts from reading that. It’s an enigma, inside a riddle, wrapped in a pork dumpling.

I’m guessing Mnuchin believes his credibility’ll never effect his ability to make a living.

Mnuchin, a stupid, lying sack of Donnie Crap.

Yes, the economy has been hurt, big time, already. ESAD, you coward.

It helps when your gold digger wife keeps taking free samples from the U.S. Mint, right, Stevie?

If our economy is not being harmed, then why is, “the administration . . . exploring ways to help farmers and other specific industries that have been affected.” If agricultural, manufacturing, and other sectors of our economy are being harmed, then our economy IS being harmed, you ignorant putz!

Low rent Bond villain says what now??

On Saturday, the Treasury Secretary said the U.S. administration has been very clear that the objective is to have a more balanced trading relationship with China.

“We purchased about $500 billion of goods from them; they purchased about $130 billion of goods from us. We share a desire to have a more balanced relationship. And the balanced relationship is by us selling more goods,” Mnuchin said.

Uh huh. And the tariffs on Chinese goods are likely to turn that $130B purchase to $10B. See, they’ve been prepping for this very scenario. Both sides may get hurt but the side that operates with idiots, psychos and grifters gets hurt worse and thinks that isolationism is a good thing gets hurt worse.

Thanks, Steve. Now clench your teeth and tell it to the farmers and, what the hell, the only nail manufacturer “currently” left in the United States. They will all be very happy to hear this.

By the way, shouldn’t you be foreclosing on little old ladies and such?

Mnuchin is a fracking moron. Give the trade war and the associated job losses and price increases time to ripple through the economy, then try again to say that with a straight face.

Democrats should embrace the tariffs. I think that would make for an interesting turn of events.
