He gives the impression he comes from a working class background.
Will they make him “walk this back” by tomorrow?
Remember 4 years ago when radio hosts were screaming about Free Trade and how they would vote for any of the other 17 candidates over Donald Trump.
hopefully that puts the bankrupt ideas from the so called “free traders” out to pasture for good.
Well la de frickin’ da. Who whoulda guessed...
No no, orange man bad
We all have Barack Hussein Obama for this economy. Barky is the reason our president is UGE.
I remember when Rick Santelli was a voice of reason on CNBC — actually sparked the Tea Party movement.
Tariffs are a NO_BRAINER.
In any trade war the country with trade deficits holds all the cards. Because the country with trade surplus is the beneficiary with more manufacturing (#1 wealth creator in a country). In a trade war the country with surplus loses and vice versa.
China can’t just be nice, feel sorry for America and give up the trade surplus. Millions of manufacturing jobs in China depend on it. Imposing tariffs is the tool US can impose more effectively because we import more from China than China imports from us. Which means, for those living in Rio Linda, China can retaliate only a small fraction with their tariffs on American imports.
Trump is the first president in my 60 years living in United States who recognized the problem of trade deficits and had a pair to force China into serious trade deals. I never imagined I would live to see a president with so much common sense and a pair to go along with it. We are extremely lucky that Trump ran for president giving up his 6-star cushy life to put up with Mueller hoax and impeachment hoax.
Wall Street is nothing more than a place where instruments of investing are traded. What can “Wall Street” do for the average working man/woman/family?
They may be Bohemian Grove elitists that go through the ceremony for the "cremation of care". Eliminating their care and concern for others frees them to pursue their agendas without regard for how it might adversely the masses.

Amazing what happens when the Police class is forced to stop clinging to the Breton Wood economic polices designed by Russian Stalinists and US/UK Socialists and re-think US policy to fit the new century
We have known for centuries that tariffs work. The United States functioned with tarrifs for most of its existence.
We hava always had people here at Free Republic who opposed tariffs. Every single one of them has also known that tariffs would work for the benefit of the country, but they had personal agendas which benefited from blocking the use of tariffs.
Historic? That shows how macro economically stupid Americans really are. EVERY OTHER COUNTRY USES TARIFFS TO RUN SURPLUSES WITH THE USA AND TO PROMOTE THEIR PROTECTED INDUSTRIES which is what sane governments do. Tariffs worked in the USA for 130 years until the income tax came along and RUINED everything.
Of course they worked. Every “expert” was predicting trade wars and calamity from the United States.
