    last month May job report was 75k vs180k expected, much worse than expected. just wait till trump put another 300B tariff, it will only get worse after that.

    Nope, Trump needs to stay the course.

    These companies only care about their bottom line at the moment.

    Believe me, once this war is over and we win and they are making double the profit they will be claiming that they were always on board with Trump.

    It’s better to give in to China and just accept that they will always cheat us in trade.

    It was stupid of us to even raise the issue.

    The alignment of international trade policies and socialism is ridiculous. Please don't.

    These companies need to feel the pain for the long term betterment.

    If the trade policies are hurting them, chances are the contributed to the problem that necessitates the tariffs.

    Enough with the fakeness. These are the same companies that Trump gave huge tax cuts and the right wing cheered.

    So they took big tax cuts and shifted production overseas? And I'm supposed to feel bad they have tariff liabilities now?

    Oh I did laugh irl , but hey what would a single day be on PF without our local self avowed economic expert espousing more biased Trump hate with these OPs? Multiple posts a day even. No one's buying this snake oil.

    Stay the course President Trump. Stay the course

    Manufacturing reps. were at the White House today pointing out them many of them cannot move their manufacturing out of China as it would only wind up costing more for far lesser quality,one was Ralph Lauren rep another was from a high end leather shoe maker and the toy industry says that the proposed upcoming tariffs will seriously impact Christmas spending if prices are raised.They are all against Dirty Donalds tariffs.

    Do you REALLY believe that? Less quality than a sweatshop Chinese factory? Do you understand that these same big company reps are representing the same elites that Kaz pointed out earlier left 1000s of factories in the south abandoned? This started happening 40 years ago this exportation of our manufacturing. It's a 1% er top elite documented fact....and the LEFT vaunted these same representatives as sources for their argument? Fk trump, I voted for him yes, I saw him as a disruptor. But the real left moderates need to step the heck up! At least research who your purporting as a viable source to support your real cares ie ideology for your own life and your families. This above is NOT it...dig deeper

    If you need and or care I can cite countless links to support the above.

    Basically I'm saying point blank..dead pan the entire left ideology is provably utter dereft of any logic or rationale. You can't both support and vote elitist propaganda ( like above ) and far left socialism within one parties platform and be seen anything other that hilarious at best and obscene are norm

    Who the heck is running that sheet shows agenda anyway?

    Because off shoring production is brand new since Trump got elected?

    In fact most of it happened BEFORE he was elected.

    But dont let facts get in the way of your illogical trump bashing.

    No. Illogical is Trump and his supporters thinking by giving the corporate welfare queen a permanent tax cut that they would actually bring jobs back. You cheered these companies and their one time bonuses. I guess the "honeymoon" is.....over??

    The left is presenting this "fact" over and over that the tax break (a break, meaning THEIR money to begin with) didn't result in economic development.

    It did.

    The left wants to continually pretend that the economic growth we are having is somehow detached from the policies and perspectives of this administration. It isn't. Hiring is at all time highs and unemployment is at lows we havent seen in decades. I don't understand how the left can become willfully ignorant and ignore these things in order to continue to bash Trump.
