If it's not hurting farmers, why are we sending them welfare checks? I love the way donny redefines reality and his supporters believe him without question.

those billions of dollars trump is claiming that his tariffs create to offset a balance of trade? they aren't being paid by china. china pays absolutely nothing if they sell goods to the U.S. the tariffs are paid by the importers, and they are U.S. citizens. just another trump big fat stinking pile of you know what. when asked the simple question of who writes the check for the tariffs, the 'base' (a good name for a bunch of racist, belligerent, dim-witted fools) will immediately change the subject.

And he was there with the first responders on 9/11. I can't wait until the farmers lose their farms.

I'm not sure he realizes how much food has gone up and clothes... I use to buy my nikes for 50$ now there 76$ for the same pair.. Our house hold grocery bill was $125 a week now its $190 a week and we get a lot less and more generic brands now..I know he is doing his best...but the prices have gone up on pretty much everything..

I find it fascinating when tariffs come up that Democrats complain that consumers will end up paying the tariffs, but Democrats NEVER make that same association with corporate taxes.

China doesn't seem to be sweating your BS tariffs!

President trump should just call out the Democratic Party for what it is and that is a International socialist global Chinese party that sets the ptecident for preference for trade for themselves
