Trump: Trade war won't hurt us

During a joint press conference with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, President Trump said a trade war would hurt other countries more than it would hurt the US.

[laylaa]

He has no idea what he's saying. He needs some rest.

[jsmcguireIII]

The guy from Sweden is like: "Why would Swedish people emigrate here????" LOL TRUMP

[paullie]

This isn't "The Apprentice", Mr. Trump you cannot expect to fire every world leader.

[johngreene]

He is so out of his league. Trump looks like a man in the corner.

[neddludd]

Poor boy being picked on. Claims he has good business sense, but has experience in bullying, blustering and bankruptcy. Thats going to hurt the trade world with no benefit to Americans. Sad

[thedukeofnorton]

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

[joshmaldonado]

"America first" has become "America Alone".

[walterscott]

Swedish PM speaks far better English than Trump

[Frankowillo]

What about us farmers? We demand that the people of America indemnify us with THEIR tax payments for the losses we incurred from our glorious President's policies!
Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

[lunacarmin]

"many" "some"... yeah surely this is a well-thought decision

[TheSamurai]

Notice the difference in how the two leaders carry themselves and speak. The Swedish Prime Minster is clearly a true statesman and playing at a higher level.

[TickledPink]

I have no reason to believe a word you say.

"If a country doesn't have steel, it doesn't have a country".  What?  Seriously.  Most countries on this entire planet do not produce steel or aluminum, yet they still have thriving countries.  That was just an insane and misinformed thing to say.

[Kaileegirl]

The Swedish prime minister far outshone Trump.
Trump looked annoyed, confused and a little lost as the Swedish Prime Minister spoke with intelligence, knowledge and understanding of trade.
Trump doesn't understand the importance of trade agreements.
It is very sad to watch the decline of a great country.
I have huge respect for the U.S and it's people.
People often say the world is laughing at America,
we are not laughing at its people,
we stand with its people and we hope this mess will be turned around in 2020 or Mueller gets it done way before then

Funny thing is that there are BMW/Mercedes car factories in the US, on the other hand there are no Harley Davidson- or Bourbon factories (breweries) in the EU.

Juncker will obviously hit the rural areas like Kentucky who voted big for Trump.

This is sort of what I'd expect it to look like if we randomly picked our president via nation wide drawing or something. It is depressingly obvious that Trump has no fucking idea what he's talking about, and he's supposed to be representing the USA. I'm honestly ashamed to share a country with his voters.

[fquint]

Why won’t he talk about the jobs that will be lost as a result of this? The horrible affects this will have on the economy? I thought Trump was supposed to bring jobs back...

[JohnVanRaak-yxcb]

The fool does not even know what a deficit is!
When you spend more than you sell, you get in trouble. The deficit is not caused by other countries, but by the USA itself.

[mouldybread]

LOL that Swedish guy speaks much better English than president of the us

[audience]

These same people believe Trickle Down Economy is real, so go figure.
