This guy! He’s just a complete maroon. Does he think the K Street funded GOP machine is going to keep propping him up if the market tanks before November?

Why the fuck did anyone expect the “running of the bulls,” when a narcissistic bull, high on coke, and with tardive dyskenesia is proprietor of the china shop.

Chinese bilateral surplus is partly an optical illusion: it's really Korean and Japanese goods with China doing final assembly. Once you take US services surplus into account, imbalance with China is only about half the headline number and 1/3 Trump number

So much winning… (beat me to it, @jep07)

This would be a fine idea if the US also made some of the products that will now be subject to tariff. I guess it remains to be seen how the current demand will be covered by US made products?

Once again we see the complete NPD on display. Nothing but “I’m” the big dog.

As much as China is a problem in so much things economic, there isn’t any legitimate actions he his taking other than showing how tough he is; especially to his angry Blue Collar supporters.

Hang onto your hats. I can’t game this out.

But once the US rebuilds all the factories need to make all the products now made in China we’ll swing into massively high stock prices and employment to were we’ll tear down that wall and bring all kind of immigrant workers in…or something like that.
