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.

agreed, nice, let’s dance
and never will, they will attack us everywhere if we streng them

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
Bless his little heart.
Bless his little heart.
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.
