Of course the surrender monkeys prefer continuing to let China rape us.

The duties in large part target U.S. farmers, who largely supported Trump in 2016 but suffered from previous shots in the Trump administration’s trade war with China.

Not surprising.

Fortune Cookies and cheap chopsticks?

Game on!

The economy that has to import food and energy and must have a positive $500 billion surplus in the balance of trade is going to lose big time.

Bring it on. It’s time to stop allowing China to use the US as a dumping-ground for their goods.

Yeah, it is just a question of whether it will take them months or weeks.

It was interesting to view my retirement stock portfolio and see what was going up this morning-- REITs, Gold funds, Utilities among them.

Just my take, but I think we are going to win.

We tariff $200 B worth of Chinese goods, and China responds (not retaliates) by tariffing $60 B worth of US goods.

I see this as a face-saving move by China, signaling that they are not hitting back as hard as they can, and that they are open to a deal...

Looking forward to prices of all those commodities to drop.

CNBC isn’t smart enough to assess the short and long run impacts of this.
