    The main demographic chose idiocy and hate to represent them then comes up with some kind of half-ass scheme to blame it on the Russians. The world pretty much knows how the presidential election works.... lol.

    This all comes back again to the Russia investigation as all roads seem to go back to Russia.

    Reason-

    What you’ll notice about China’s first round of retaliatory tariffs is with precision they are targeting Trump swing state industries. China knows what they are doing here and looks like they have a good sense of how to hit Trump where it hurts.... his electoral college ego.

    If you think the whole world didn’t watch what Russia did last year and learn from it you’re an idiot. Because Republicans and Trump cult members refuse to even acknowledge Russia’s involvement, you folks have China all they need to know about how America responds to election meddling.

    You guys should have cared about Russia. It’s in your best interest.

    No you got it wrong, Trump is a stable genius, he is playing 4D chess that no one can understand.

    That makes China smart!

    Trump voters are stupid because they'll continue to vote against their own self interests. Like most of Trump's policies: attempting to repeal Obamacare, the tax reform, etc. In the long run, this will probably hurt poor Trump voters more than it'll hurt me.

    In the end, nobody wins in trade wars. Consumers always lose. Everyone ends up paying more. But its great China is hitting the industries with voters who predominately voted for Trump. They voted for an incompetent president, so this is the result. You get what you asked for.

    The guy randomly crashes the stocks of vital American Company Stocks... Why isn't he impeached? Because the majority thinks his 'Hate' is more than adequate for him to keep being president. Yes the majority a racist, hateful bunch and ****ing know it.

    That’s what he was elected for. Protectionism, isolation, punishing China , Mexico, Korea , all of them. Get a better deal. So far, some of those, but no better deal.

    No one knows if 45 is just talking **** like he does most of the time to get better deals in negotiations or is he really going to start a trade war. No one believes what is coming out of his mouth, not even his supporters.

    Hey I thought that this tariff nonsense only hit those silly Iowa soy farmers. Damn, if this market drop continues, my tax cut will be a wash. Somebody got to do something quick. Rich people don't like getting screwed out of the hard fought-for money. I pretty sure that that is in the constitution.

    A steel tariff? Trump could have done that day one. But he waited until the last weeks of Congressional special election in PA. How did that work for you, Trump?

    And now Two Scoops is sending "the military" to the border, without their guns. It is a PR stunt, to lead into the 2108 general election.

    Trump's strong stances are just shameless political stunts, to keep Congress in Republican control. His political live may depend on that.

    Trump panicked because Ann Skeletor turned on him, he got heat on Fox about the Omnibus and then Fox and Friends covered an "army" of illegal immigrants coming to the border. He saw his moment and he struck. Send in the GOD DAMN MARINES!! is probably what he yelled out as ice cream dripped onto his pajamas that morning. When Mattis explained that he couldn't do that he ran around the West Wing tearing pictures off the wall in a weird, Will Ferrel-eseque tirade until John Kelly sighed and said they could send the National Guard. Trump asked for more ice cream and then tweeted out that he was going to stop those brownies from entering our beautiful land of vanilla!

    Go big or go home. I’m sure Trump’s tough stance on China is going to impact a lot of blue dog Democrats in blue wall states of the Midwest.
