Let the games begin - we already won but some of the other nations may take a while to figure it out.

“Let’s make America great again!”

All you have to do for that to happen, is to take the “Kick Me” Sign off of our Government! We have been ill-served by an endless list of $hit Ball Presidents for the whole of my lifetime, which started with that worthless a$$hole Marxist, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and has continued right up to 2016, with an exception for Ronald Reagan’s 8 years. When I reflect on my angst that BOOSH II might not be elected and then re-elected, I get mad at myself all over again.

China is one nation I would love to see in a serious trade war. They are killing us. It is OK by me if all trade with China just ground to a halt. Best thing for the US economy. Manufacturers would have to quit making everything over there. Iam good with that.

Good - I don’t care if we do have a prolonged trade war with China. I won’t miss their cheap crap anyway.

Well, my company sells a LOT to them. Our customers are freaking out. And, our top management is considering building new plants in China to avoid tariffs.

Yes, there will be some short term pain, for some. Get over it.

Yes. That’s exactly what some of our workers will be saying to their jobs.

I support what Trump’s doing. But, there are winners and losers along the way.

BS. Tariffs increase employment. All those products sold in Gooklandia have potential markets in the USA or in other foreign markets. Your management is incompetent.

If so then keep you stupid personal anecdotes out of the discussion. They are worthless.

I think I hit a nerve.

He is a foolish isolationist that has no sense of business and totally lacks any knowledge about trade beyond his county lines

He longs for a return to 1780’s

President Trump should temporarily shut down all the WalMarts in the US. That’ll teach the Chicoms. Just kidding, sort of.

If Walmart management has half a brain it will be having its procurement staff burning the midnight oil seeking new NON-CHINESE suppliers. Their competitors surely are. And the early birds get the best deals.
