[riosricardo]

In His twisted mind Donnie thinks ... He’s a

[imanenthuse]

what happened to the greatest deal maker if he can’t even get China to listen to him? 🤔

[honestbusiness]

Rump goes it alone without our allies. Sad

[Lhawk]

Has anyone asked the farmers for their opinion? I bet they didnt...

[hopydaddy]

Trump is beginning to do to America what he did to his businesses. God help us all...

[keeliekalayidol]

It's not a "political move". It's a he has zero knowledge of what he's doing and being a brat move. He seriously doesn't understand tariffs.

[williamcortelyou]

Yeah... Trump fan or not, we all know this is going to be bad for the economy. A 25 percent trade tariff on both sides? How is that a good idea Mr. President, come on!

[ThreePalmsII]

I am tired of winning with Trump. It feels like losing

[suomynona]

But Mr "I lost $1.2B when I only had $1B" said trade wars are so easy to win... now that we've been in one for over a year. American buyers get hurt/have to pay Trump imposed tariffs and American sellers get hurt/lose business by Chinese imposed tariffs. What? a stable genius move. Why is almost as though Trump has no idea what he's doing.

[batespatric]

45 can say anything, his supporters can't find their spoons fast enough to eat it all up

[yuanli]

I hope tramp won't do something silly

[kadams]

He can bully these punks we got in Washington DC, but when it comes to other countries and world leaders they been doing this for a while he's out of his league

[giovannisoave]

The people don't like the Trump Tax.

[merrilouneigenfind]

Unfortunately we will all get what Trump supporters deserve.

[thomasl]

Say goodbye to your savings worldwide !

[mvvpro]

Trump finding out you can't pay with lies.

I would like to see a break down of the tariffs China has imposed. Curious if they have targeted red state exports. Most red states are welfare states so it will be hard to squeeze them.
