Roseanne said on her show he said he was going to bring back jobs looks to me like he is getting rid of jobs.

[Barnabas]

Most of the people who will suffer probably voted for Trump! Poetic justice!

[eduardooramadelpilar]

USA will suffer on these stupid decisions

[mwilk]

Paul Ryan is quiet because he's out job hunting. His ride on the gravy train ends in November.

All I keep seeing is my 401k and stock keep going lower and lower. Oh and I owed taxes this year and the 80$ I get back in my paycheck is a complete wash. WTF? Yep middle class is really benefiting...

Trump needs to listen to Elvis "...wise men say only fools rush in..." keep rushing in Trump and you'll keep looking like a fool.

Australian farms are in a sweet spot between the bickering United States and China, where they can sell more and buy more cheaply because of weaker competition in both markets. Essentially, the mutual tariffs are a double blessing for Australia. Trump. Making Australia great again. LOL

[margotgray]

Watch the market react to this. He'll tank the economy if he keeps going with this idiocy.

The Blue Wave just got 10 feet taller !! 🌊

I'm a Chinese who living abroad currently.
I feel sorry for American, it seems you voted a president who is insane.
China won't blink the eyes if trade war started, US shall stop dreaming about that.
As a Chinese, I 100% support China government. Our message send to American clearly: we will fight back at any cost!
Unlike American, Chinese spend most of time working and saving money. That's our culture.
Did the ordinary people in US have enough saving when depression comes? Did you been prepared for the trade war?
Trump said US will lose in short term but surviving in long term, but the problem is how short is the short term?! 1 year or 5 years?! He can't answer!

Come on, Trump supporters, tell us what a great president we have.

China's tariff of up to 25 percent on U.S. agriculture could be good news for Australia's nut, wine and fruit producers.

Almost 40 percent of Australia's fruit exports last year went to greater China, and Chile also is a major fruit producer that could benefit.

Australia's wine exports to mainland China rose 63 percent last year, while U.S. wine exports to the world's second-largest economy were down.

Beijing also imposed new tariffs on American pork, a move that could benefit the European Union, Brazil and Canada — major exporters to China.

Can I ask the people of the USA, what like have a leader that doing the work of USSR for them?

[DarrylBarnes]

The Trump base will find some way to blame this on dems

[joebrady]

In fairness he did say during the campaign that "he loves debt" what he didn't say was that the American people would be paying the price. Bad news is, you bought it, you own it.

I can almost enjoy Trump voters in flyover country getting hurt by this, but unfortunately it hurts the rest of us as well.

[nettiewatkins]

I am at an age where I cannot live through another recession or depression because I do not have enough money for my president to crash the market. Please get rid of this guy before he ruins us all. He has lost a lot of supporters, but still feels he has to fulfill campaign promises. With A shrinking base, he needs to back off, quit spending money unnecessarily, and do everything he can to bring the world together. I never knew what hate felt like until now. I credit him for teaching me that lesson. Not a good lesson though.The Republicans are going to have to give in and work with the whole for a while, or they will never recover. So for now Republicans, Democrats, and independents must work together to rid us of this evil. Otherwise distruction is nearby.

[klmhookedmoore]

Trump's actions are going to do the greatest damage to his devoted supporters. When will they get tired of all this winning?

[residenteviltyrant]

All you guys have great comments and are true "AMERICANS.🇺🇸' you guys/gals be easy.✌

[James-yerp]

Why is all of American policy and life guided by a single person? Is America a democracy? It sure does not look like it.
