Trump Country May Be Hit Hardest by Chinese Tariff Retaliation

Don't worry, be happy, I'll pray for trump supporters, that's always a solution to serous problems. Isn't it?

Fox News will spin this as something to blame the Democrats for, the turnips will guzzle it down and vomit it back here. They'll thank each other and call the rest of us libtards and go back to their lives.

What on earth has led you to believe Big Ag is Trump country? Do you really think Trump's support came from illegal alien low wage employees seeking big farmers? Who are you kidding?

Only "lefties"? Wow, you truly are ignorant. miketx (above) is a fools fool, but that's a result of being stupid, biddable and ignorant - your post suggests the same trifecta.

Big Ag is not necessarily Trump County. CA is Big Ag, but CA is only Trump County in the few counties in the Central Valley where the large farms exist, and where Military Bases are the major employer.

The central valley has always been to the right and yes they are Trump supporters but these big Farmers are not...they are just outnumbered...

Some people have grown comfortable with a little Chinese dick up their ass, and would prefer to continue that relationship.

It may cause inflation and we might not be able to buy cheap shit from China anymore at the Dollar Store, but if it lets people eventually get back their GOOD jobs, would it be worth it? When I was a kid, people didn't automatically aspire to a McMansion in the suburbs. A modest house in a decent neighborhood with good schools was where people set their sights. They remodeled by replacing the sofa slipcovers every ten years or so. We've gone nuts with the consumer thing.
I don't know anything about economies, but what we've had is not so great. A change might be good. Anyway, you'll never convince the Trumpkins that the trade wars are bad news until the price of an AR goes up $200.

Note how the amount of Chinese imports is given an exact number, but the American exports, at risk is not.


That's to try to hide the TRuth that there are vastly more Chinese goods coming to the US, than US goods going to China.


China CANNOT win a trade war with US, as the status quo is so bad for US than just about anything is an improvement.


while the opposite is true for China.

And you would be wrong. The US has outsourced all clothing manufacturing and other consumer goods. China doesn’t need American imports as much as the US needs their goods. You’ll see.

You're such liars. And you'll switch back after Trump. If Trump said he was pro-choice, you'd attack him for not being pro-life like you are ...

IF it brings jobs back? We have turned the corner from a manufacturing base to a service base, so I very much doubt we will create many jobs where technology, i.e. robots have replaced people.

We are, and have been a consumer based economy since the end of WW II. And yet, retail jobs are being eliminated as we speak. Shoppers shop at home on their computers, and UPS / Fed Ex trucks are ubiquitous on our roadways.

Maybe its time to consider new ways, instead of seeking what may have been successful in the past?
