Let's Look at all All the Trade Threats Trump has Made this Week

Trump has threatened to pull the United State out of NAFTA. He has threatened to pull the United States out of its trade deal with South Korea. He just stated that the U.S. will not deal with any country doing business with North Korea. We have sanctioned Venezuela, Iran and Russia.

So, let's look at the countries we would no longer do business with if he really went through with all of his threats. China, the Philippines, Russia and India all do business with North Korea. Canada and Mexico are in NAFTA. South Korea has it's own trade deal with us. So,

China, Russia, Iran, the Philippines, South Korea, India, Mexico, Canada and Venezuela.

Luckily, for the rest of us, nobody takes this fucking blowhard seriously. Otherwise the Stock Market would be down 1,000 points on Tuesday.
