"Trade wars are good, and easy to win, " Trump famously said. But how would a trade war really impact Americans?

Who would have thought poorly educated republicans would vote against their own interests? They've only been doing it for like 50 years now.

I want to hear more people on welfare complain about the estate tax. That's always a good one.

Dear person reading this I hope your day has been going well, if not, I hope it gets better. You are an amazing person who will inspire others to do great things so keep up the hard work. I know you may feel unimportant or insecure at the moment but know that you are a beautiful human being inside, outside and you are important.

"We used to make cars in Michigan and you didnt drink the water from mexico. Now, you cant drink the water from Michigan and they make the cars in Mexico" -Donald Trump

Make a raw material = win, making something out of a raw material = lose.

My God, It's 1928 and a wealthy, politically inexperienced, republican from New York has just been elected to the white house, along with a republican House of Representatives and Senate. I wonder how that worked out.?

I really like VICE. They do a good job at viewing both sides of the story. Great video!

“A good family company bought this facility (Mid-continent nail corp)” yes DEACERO a Mexican steel company that owns a lot of other steel companies around the world a lot of them in the US. Most of the American Steel companies are owned either by Mexican or by Russian companies.

China doesn’t just export to America 😂😂😂😂😂

Bill burr said in his comedy special "that by time the wall will be built, we'd be the one's going over it" Hope it doesn't come true

[mrgoodiejr]

Good reporting vice to see both sides of the story. It’s always better to sacrifice a few hundred rather loose a few thousand jobs

[sergepajcin]

In every trade war both side loose no big winners people suffer average citizens

[mactek]

It is real simple. China either acts like a normal WTO trade member and opens up their market like the rest of the world has done for them, or they can suffer the consequences.

[mackdickerson]

Whoever gives Trump the best ego hand job gets the rewards.

5/3/2019 update: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this morning that the economy added 263, 000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate dipped lower to 3.6%. That is, for the record, the lowest the jobless rate has been in 50 years." (MSNBC)

[fhdnfn]

What is "Trump's" trade war? Is it the current trade war? That's like Trump slapping someone in the face in retaliation for being slapped, then accusing Trump of starting a fight.

[oneenpure]

Poor stupid good ol'boys at the beginning

[MickeyThomas]

Great representation showing a deep southerner saying "git er done"

[lxjilyfe]

ppl don’t buy things they don’t need. Trade deficit is not the cause of the trade war

[ualuuanie]

So that nail company got to close down because they can't cheap steel from overseas and have to buy more expansive local steel? How come steel from the EU, Canada and China is cheaper than the local US steel?
