Hmm, who started this mess? Yes, the Reds have been cheating right along but was this the most efficacious manner in which that could be addressed? I doubt it.
Lisa Benson has been able to see a problem here and there with Trump’s policies and behavior. I wonder when she will be able to tie it all together to figure out that he’s a very bad and dangerous president.
I’m amazed how many pundants and citizens miss the whole point of this. This short term up and down and back and forth will end with less rigged trade agreement. I personally don’t think there should be caps on what we can sell or accept from other countries, having trade agreements tend to only favor large corporations, guaranteeing their future sales overseas.
Trump put tariffs on aluminium and steel.The Chinese announced tariffs on food they import.Where are they going to buy that sweet and sour pork and (soy beans) soy sauce somewhere else ?Or Chicken?
Tell us about Obama’s and Hillary’s efforts as Sec. of State to do something about the trade deficit and get a better deal more to our advantage.Oh wait ….There weren’t any.
The Trump Administration is an example of the ignorance of basic economic principles. The Economist Ricardo demonstrated 200 years ago the principles of comparative advantage and how relative free trade is a win-win for both sides. Similarly, pulling out of the TPP was a huge mistake for the United States. China couldn’t be happier to have more influence and control over trade in the Far East. As a major trading country, the U.S. is the loser.
You know what saved us in WW2? Heavy Industry. You know what has moved to China? Heavy Industry. You know what Nation we are most likely to end in a shooting war with? Right.

Would have been even better as a table tennis cartoon; the Chinese are really good at that sport.

One of our sons-in-law own a steel fabricating company. I think he and the daughter are finally seeing the light.

Sinclair News will sugar coat trump’s agenda, and the conservatives will continue to sleep through the great American descent.

Pretty close, but Trump is playing with a ping-pong paddle while Xi is using Olympic players.

When crooked liar Trump said ‘winning’ I guess he was really saying “losing”.
