Trumps trade war is killing manufacturing

[bendog]

I'd agree with a notion that we won't really know the effects of Trump's trade war with china (that appears to have reached détente) for years, but there's no real way to say it affected mftring or employment …. or the stock market. Although the Fed racheting back up QE probably was related to the trade war, and that absolutely affected overall growth staying positive and the stock market gain.

well we do know that it hurts China. They wouldn't be at the table unless it was actually hurting them. So you agree, there is no way tariffs have impacted manufacturing at all.

There are two issues facing this country if addressed could turn this country around in a hot minute.....term limits and wage increases.

Why do demand that our great, across the board economy, be turned around?

Trump claims manufacturing is great but this chart says otherwise.

What kind of idiot thinks it is a good plan to hurt the economies of countries to which you export goods?

These 6 charts compare the US and China economies in the second year of their trade war

So what is your solution? The same shit we’ve been doing for 30 years? Let China use tariffs against us, while we impose little to none on them and let them take more of our manufacturing jobs? China has been in a “trade war” with us long before President Trump came along.

So Trade Wars was Trump's only option. Killing US farmers & US manufacturing. But trade wars are easily won. That is what your fast asssed hero said. So why isn't it won yet?

Trump pulled out the TPP & let China take our place. He brags about a trade deal with Japan that is less that the TPP would have given us.

Trump is a fucking idiot. He knows nothing about international business & his only way to negotiate is through threats.


China does not take our manufacturing jobs. We give them to China.

We “gave them” to China because our laws allowed them too. Farmers or any other industry shouldn’t be relying on communists to stay in business. And by the way, the farmers are being hurt by China’s tariffs, which you lefties keep saying only result in their own people paying more taxes.

Are you for things like high wages and protecting the environment? You can’t be for those things and support China that uses virtual slave labor and shits on the environment. You do realize that is exactly why their manufacturing costs are so cheap, right?

You are the fucking idiot.

Good news for the country and more bad news for Democrats. This great news has been coming now for three years and the Democrats have tried to undermine it with false accusations and even pushing for impeachment before Donald Trump took office. Why are they so desperate to harm America?

Jobless Claims Show Labor Market Ended 2019 on Strong Footing
JOHN CARNEY 2 Jan 2020

The number of Americans filing initial claims for unemployment benefits tumbled last week.

Initial jobless claims dropped 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 222,000 for the week ended December 28, according to data released by the Labor Department Thursday.

This suggests that the labor market remained strong throughout last year despite a downtick in economic growth and widespread fears of a recession throughout much of the summer.

[...]

The U.S. unemployment rate fell back to 3.5 percent, the lowest in nearly half a century. The Labor Department will release its estimate of December unemployment, as well as figures on job creation, on Friday, January 10, a week later than usual due to the holidays.

When the Democrats here start whining about my source, please include which of my FACTS are wrong. Thank you!
