GRACEGLORY:Respectfully, this economic illiteracy at its worse. If you are parroting this nonsense from someone else,pls cease immediately. It makes you look like a slowpoke. Number 1. When you destroy $10trillion from the economy in a whim, and then tell yourself you're just trying to prevent a recession? Nonsense. The federal reserve was already poised to lower interest rates at its next meeting this month. They didn't need to destroy the US economy and drag the entire world just to persuade the fed to reduce interest rates. That's nonsense and comical. Pls cease and desist from parroting this low IQ nonsense in public. |

If you're not seeing that these policies are a LONG TERM win for a country of over HALF A BILLION consumers; then I don't know what else to tell you. Moribund sectors will wake up and fill up the importation deficits with changes in consumption culture imminent. Trump might be considered to be terrible by a number of people but this is a win for America's future - albeit a loss for the rest.

Nobody wins in any kind of war be it military, political or economical! Moreso, for the fact that you are fighting both your friends and enemies at the same time this means you are heading to doom as well sitting on a keg of gunpowder. I was thinking Trump second coming will be free from controversies and imbalances but his coming has been marked with many inordinate, incoherent and frivolous behavior with high abnormalies! This trade war shouldn't have happened! |

I think Presidents shouldn't be allowed to run two straight consecutive terms. So far history has shown that Presidents who return after leaving for a while are able to reflect better and make better choices. In Nigeria for example, all our former leaders suddenly have solutions but it's always too late because while he office they are unable to reflect properly. |

GRACEGLORY:Again, this is just another irrational excuse to justify the whimsical and dangerous actions of a meglomaniac. Every single trading relationship the US has with other nations were specifically and deliberately crafted by the US for the benefit of the US. The US economy is greatest beneficiary of the current global trading arrangement. So it doesn't make sense that they are complaining of unfair trade. US economic power comes from these trade arrangements that makes everything available and cheap for US consumers. This is what every empire in history dreams of and fights to attain. That Donald Trump is trying dismantle the underpinnings of US economic power and dominance is baffling,..unless he is on mission to do just that. |

They, and many other nations, have treated us unsustainably badly. What Trump said here is a symptom of his delusional thinking. The US has not been treated as bad as he claims. America by the way has a per capita income of $80,000, which is the 7th highest in the world. It is the only large country in the top 10, other than Australia, which seats at number 10. So, free trade hasn't been as bad as he sounds. Trump is fond of putting others down, making up fictional figures to get6 his way. Only the ignorant would believe his lies. |

donleo92:Trump is destroying the US economy and you're praising his hubris. 16 American laurates winners in economic have rubbished his economic policies. They have said it would crash the economy. His approval rating has dropped to 43% and I'm certain it will hit 35% in the next two months. He needs to step down. |

cathodekazim:You basically said it all. Those jobs that left America did so because it was cheaper to produce those goods elsewhere. This forces US businesses to focus on industries they have competitive and comparative advantage in. Why Trump would even slam 25% import duty on steel makes no sense. There is a glut of steel in the world market due to China's excess capacity and it would serve America industry better if they could get access to dirt cheap steel. An industry like steel with its low margin are not the US strength. The US prefers higher margin stuff, and one that has not been commoditized. |

smokinloud:What does left and right have to do with this? His economic policies are destroying the US economy and you're here talking about the Left. The free trade policies of the US were actually a product of previous government. The free trade agreement George Bush snr signed with Mexico was lead by the Republican party. Trump's present policies actually trash right-wing policies more than the left. |

You guys don't fully understand international trade. On the short term US will loose , on the ling term they will.be better. Military might will come into play oh. Countries will have to source for new market and they won't be able to sell their stocks at same gain again and volume. Price across board will have to reduce generally. U guys think it's easy. Didn't China want to grow a global football.bramd like the EPL. See the outcome. These things take time to develop. In the other hand US and Saudi/UAE are deepening ties. EU will.also.have to trade with Russia or China. And who would buy those goods from Europe. Is it China. First thing US did was to deport lots of migrants which will reduce (unwanted) population and increase employment. Also this will help.reduxe sime.goods demand for Trade needed by US. |

GRACEGLORY:Those tariffs will be the downfall of the US economy. He is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The Federal Reserve will only increase interest rates if inflation increases and it is bound to now with these tariffs that will be passed on to the consumers. Trump is a dumb man who doesn't know what he is doing. I have long condemned his present economic policies, even before the elections. I knew they would destroy the US economy. Expect a depression by early next year. They have handed the US economy to a man-child who does not know what he is doing. |

Just as I've stated countless times here, the entire focus ab initio is on China. Nothing else. Western countries led by the US want to cut China to size and/or cause economic depression in China. |
