So much for that extra $10 a paycheck huh?
As Trump imposes communistic (socialism) trade war policy, white-collar, blue state supporters will have to rely on their patriotism to pay the bills
https://www.npr.org/2019/05/20/72435...mic-patriotismBob Best enthusiastically supports President Trump's tough policies against China and other countries.
"I'm not a big tariff guy. I'm a free trade guy," says Best, who manages a heating and air conditioning company in Kennesaw, Ga.
"But sometimes when the bully just doesn't listen, you've got to punch him in the mouth. And that's what he's doing."
Best supports the president's actions even though they affect him directly. The price of the heating and air conditioning units that his company sells went up by as much as $150 apiece after the cost of building them went up because Trump placed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports last year. He was forced to pass the increase onto his customers.
Trump will have to appeal to Americans' national pride, and even their patriotism, to succeed in leveling the playing field with China. That's because virtually every American is likely to feel an impact if Trump's tariffs go forward on just about everything imported from China. He will have to persuade Americans that what's at stake transcends their own interests.
The nation's economy is "excellent," 22 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University National Poll today, the highest "excellent" rating for the economy. Another 49 percent of voters say the economy is "good." The total 71 percent for "excellent" and "good" is the highest total number for American voter at udes on the economy in almost 18 years.
Some 52 percent of American voters say they are better off financially today than they were in 2016, while 21 percent say they are worse off and 23 percent say they are the same.
But American voters give President Donald Trump a negative 38 - 57 percent approval rating, compared to a negative 41 - 55 percent approval in a May 2 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University National Poll.
American voters give Trump mixed grades for his handling of the economy as 48 percent approve and 45 percent disapprove. He gets negative grades for handling other issues:
approve/disapprove
37 - 58 percent for handling foreign policy;
39 - 53 percent for handling trade;
40 - 50 percent for handling the nation's policy toward China;
37 - 47 percent for handling the nation's policy toward Iran.

China exists because we buy their . If we went all cold war on their asses for a generation or so, and it'd be atough tough time no doubt, they'd eventually crumble under the weight of the lack of demand for their garbage. Of course, I doubt both that we fatass spoiled Americans have the guts to do that anymore, one. Two Chinese leadership would probably start a nuclear conflict rather than slowly watch their populace starve before inevitably relinquishing control at gunpoint.
"China exists because we buy their ."goddamn, you're ing stupid
hey stupid, big bully China, punched in the mouth, saw its GDP rise by 6% in 2018
Lots of negatives in the USA economy, car loan defaults way up, household debt at record level, student loan debt $1.5 and climbing.
50M forced into the low-paying, erratic "gig economy"
20M children in poverty, Ms of children homeless, 50M people in or near poverty, 10Ms of people "rent stressed"
When Americans "Feel Good (c)" about the economy, they go deeper into debt and send $100Bs of interest to BigFinance.
When the next big Banksters Crash comes, there will be Ms of defaults and a Big De-Leveraging
Trash lies to himself, in his fantasy world of LYING to his cult base, equally duped and lost in fantasies, that he's a tough guy who can can hurt China
The only ones getting punched in the mouth are Americans paying $100Bs in tariff taxes straight into the Treasury to cover the tax cuts for the oligarchy.
goddamn, you're ing stupid
China's domestic situation isn't America's problem.
So America's 50M in poverty and dying early is OK because compared to hole China, America Is The Best?

Lol GDP, they only have quadruple our population.
China is a polluted hole and its GDP is the result of a billion souls born into indentured servitude to a state creating us products for you to eventually stuff it in your motorized cart's basket at Walmart.
Their natural resources are exponentionally lower than ours, as well. Without the cash flow generated by their labor force they wouldn't have a modern economy.
