If these past couple of weeks are an indication of just how terrible the Trump administration is running our country, the beginning of the end has certainly begun.
But my concern is what the next 19 months will cause to our economy, post-Trump with his insane tariffs and anti free-trade policies.
There are reports that China will no longer be the biggest buyer of our 350,000 soy-bean farmers, since they've found willing sellers in Brazil and Argentina (and actually, the Chinese are pouring in millions to enhance the soy-bean harvest in those South American countries.)
China was also a huge buyer of our seafood...especially of lobsters from Maine....and has now switched to buying those delicacies from Canadians........and also, the once booming wine market from our western states has forced China to turn to European and Australian wineries.
The above few examples are important because we may never get these trades back, even when the tariffs are removed by a saner administration.
Trump's trade failures are not just temporary setbacks and we cannot expect American tax payers to keep subsidizing those US industries who are being devastated by this charlatan and his moronic deals.
