Trump Will Impose Tariffs on $200 Billion of Chinese Goods

[RandySF]

President Trump “has decided to impose tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods, two people briefed on the decision said, one of the most severe economic restrictions ever imposed by a U.S. president,” the Washington Post reports.

“An announcement is expected to come within days… The new tariffs would apply to more than 1,000 products, including smartphones, televisions and toys. These penalties could drive up the cost of a range of products ahead of the holiday shopping season, though it’s unclear how much.”

4. And next is the second round

of tax cuts for the rich followed by cuts in S Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Maybe he can take more money out of FEMA and give that to corporations too.

Meanwhile the purposely ignorant will vote for him again due to the "robust" economy he keeps telling them about.

8. The Trump voters clearly are not voting their wallet, except the rich ones.

Rural areas have actually lost income under him and are barely above water on jobs and house prices.
