Can you knuckleheads please stop quoting multiple posts when you respond? It makes this thread unreadable.

Poor, Trump. Russia is not listening to him as much as his ego demands. So, to get even with them he is sending Giuliani to Ukraine to dig dirt up on scary Joe Biden. Blatantly conspiring with a foreign government. Not that it would be first time Trump has done that (2015-16).

No way this is true. Fake news from the failing NY Times.

Only about an hour to go until a YUGE increase in tariffs on most Chinese products! Will Trump stand firm and demand an end to forced technology transfers, copyright violations, etc.? Or, will he cave and get a sh!tty deal without these things just so he can say he won and saved us from a crisis he created?

I will say this, I do not like Trump at all and dislike most of his policies. But, I agree with what he is doing to combat Chinese cheating on trade. The last two administrations just took it in the shorts from the Chinese and sold out the American people because they didn’t want to rock the boat.

If Trump gets a deal that includes solid mechanisms to combat forced technology transfer and other big issues he’ll deserve a lot of credit for that.

I think this is both accurate and fair.

Poor Rudy got caught with his pants down.

That is how the USA became a world power. They stole tech from Germany (jet missiles), Russia (military) and China (gunpowder).

US companies end up actually paying those tariffs, and so US workers get fewer raises and US consumers pay more.

Please research before you buy ANYTHING Trump says is good for America. He knows nothing about how international trade works and really nothing about anything other than how to do things in a criminal fashion.

You should not say out loud what you just typed to anyone who knows anything. Just foolish nonsense.

Trump is a serial liar, he is a criminal, and he is by far the most incompetent President the US has ever had.

Annnnnd more tariffs now going into effect. Complete blunder by Trump.

Just hurts American workers and American consumers...not even in some weird complicated mathematical way either.

Tariffs only substantially hurt China if US importers find other tariff-free countries to import from. Shopping for goods from other countries is not necessarily a good bet. US importers might not find the goods they want from other countries, and even if they do, despite being tariff-free, the base cost could be more than they could get from China.

When US importers continue to accept goods from China (with tariffs), those US importers pay the tariffs thus accepting a lower profit margin meaning less pay and potential job losses for American workers, and then US consumers pay more at the point of purchase.

Nice. Trump is a goober. We are living in ridiculous times.

trump is an ignoramus. farmers are screwed. americans are hosed.

even don jr. getting subpoenaed. trump could care less if hoo boy gets jail time for lying. trump cannot be indicted for crimes, per barr.

these are all distractions to attempt to divert everyone from crimes he has committed, crimes he is committing, and crimes he intends to commit.

in other words, treason.

Trump is 100% correct that China is trying to holdout until 2020, in hopes the DEMS win the presidency so that it can go back to business as usual- stealing American intellectual property. Now they have a fire under their ass to make a deal.

Mueller never

No class, lying

I am done with you.

Nope. Not lying. I do not lie.

Flagpole, instead of always saying you do not lie, how about just not lying?

Does anyone else find it comical that the thing Trump lies the most about s “not lying.”

Yes. Both Flagpole and Trump lie the most about not lying.

One of many personality traits the two share. It’s like they were separated at birth.

Because calling someone a whore totally isn't rude at all.

I would. It's the Christian thing to do.

Liberals are offended by God. I wouldn't recommend using religion in your argument. It's laughable.

I am a liberal because I am a Christian.

Republicans are afraid to acknowledge that Jesus told us to take care of the sick and the hungry. They say they are Christian but they are afraid to follow Christ.

A fire whose kindling is American citizens and companies. He is botching this trade war.

Right.

People agree that there are issues with China stealing American intellectual property and dumping cheap goods on us with their slave labor.

But Trump's approach is to raise taxes on Americans and make the products we buy more expensive.

That will reduce the economic gains we have been having.

We know he's betting this will put a bigger strain on China, hoping to get concessions.

That's a gamble that risks American economic growth - the only positive aspect of his presidency.

“This would not go forward without Republican complicity,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), an ally of President Trump’s, told reporters on Capitol Hill. “So I think it’s a mistake for Republicans to keep putting the Trump family through this, and I really think they ought to drop it.”

Can you be more partisan?

The better approach was something like TPP where we create trade pacts with all of China's neighbors and force them to play by the rules if they want to come to the table. It was a good opportunity to project our sphere of influence over the Pacific and put us in a position to actually enforce IP laws and keep China in check.

But it was Obama's idea and we can't be having any of that so, out it goes!
