Trump threatens to shut down farms.

[Harpy Eagle]

I made that OP with easy in mind. LOL

Actually, a more honest title might be pressure grows on Trump to wrap up the China trade dispute. And that may not be good news for getting China to stop stealing intellectual property

Farmers nearing crisis push back on Trump trade policies

Yet another Trump failure.

Actually another Trump success. China has abandoned its ban on US produce and is now agreeing to open its markets to more US exports and get tougher on the theft of US intellectual property. What Clinton, Bush and Obama complained about but couldn't do, Trump has done, but once again what is good news for America is seen as bad news by Democrats.

The only thing China has agreed to do is buy what they were buying before the trade war started...that is not what most of us call a win...

and then there is this...

add farmers to the list of voters who will shun Trump.

I doubt it. They’ll have to choose between their fear of brown folk or their livelihood. I think they’ll choose the former again.

3 guesses who picks oranges, cabbage, strawberries etc ?

Mechanical harvesters.

not most of those.

Your idea of a failure sure isn't mine.

If those tons of soy beans sold to China look like a failure to you then I doubt you would know success if it kicked your stupid ass.

Despite Tariffs, American Farmers Still Support Trump

That is what 32 billion dollars in wealth redistribution to the farmers will do for a POTUS...he bought their votes with our tax money

Isn't this only a one time but for like 5 million metric tons?

Gator, if you hate farmers so much, why do you work in Ag? Do the farmers know you hate them?

Hopefully he's trying to gut farmer subsidies and the fraudulent ethanol industry

Admittedly I was picking on Easy for missrpesenting links, but I think the first one indicated farmers are sticking to the Donald. I doubt he'll stick by them, but that's another issue. I think the link was mostly about economic conditions not looking too good for farmers.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Gator, if you hate farmers so much, why do you work in Ag? Do the farmers know you hate them?

I do not hate farmers at all, what a silly idea.

What I do not like are hypocritical right wingnuts that whine about socialism and wealth redistribution 1000 times a day yet never bring up farm subsidies.

If you understood what was going on, you would see it as winning. China targeted US produce from areas which supported Trump in 2016 in an effort to pressure the president to end his tariffs, and now they realize this tactic has failed and have abandoned it. This is winning, but it is only the first step in winning what Clinton, Bush and Obama whined about but did nothing about, China blocking US exports and stealing US intellectual property, but only President Trump is doing something about it. China has agreed in principle to open its markets to US imports and to remove obstacles to US companies operating in China and to try to end the theft of US intellectual property, but we don't yet know just how much they are willing to give on these issues.

Your link, which you seem so proud of, simply says the market is nervous because CNBC predicted Trump and Xi have not yet have reached a final decision and may have to delay the meeting until they do. In the meantime, Chinese companies are paying billions of dollars to the US Treasury in tariffs, a small win for America, but of course, large concessions from China would be an even larger win. So either way the US wins, but good news for America is always seen as bad news by the Democrats while Trump is in the WH.

Chinese companies do not pay the tariffs dumbshit, the people buying their product do...tariffs are nothing but a tax that is eventually eaten by the consumer like every other tax.

My mistake, but the principle is the same. Chinese exports are less competitive as compared with exports from other countries or domestic products and the Treasury is receiving billions of dollars from the tariffs. Either way, it is a win for America; either the Treasury receives billions of dollars from the tariffs or China opens its markets to US companies and that will create even more economic growth and more jobs. As usual, good news for America is seen as bad news by the Democrats while Trump is in the WH.

We have moved way past "short term" here...we are going on more than a year of market malaise...

Since the day that Trump issued his first tariffs in the trade war, 381 days ago, the DJI is down 3.36%
Since the day that Trump issued his first tariffs in the trade war, 381 days ago, the NADAQ is up 0.86%
Since the day that Trump issued his first tariffs in the trade war, 381 days ago, the S&Pis down 3.90%

Over the last few months just about every major swing in the market has been tied to the trade war, either good news brings it up or bad news brings it down.

Yes, the principle is the same, the Treasury is receiving billions of dollars in taxes from our own citizens, just the sort of thing a statist like you would think is a good thing.
