    He is doing great. Economic growth via tax and regulation reform, global leader in energy production, energy independence, international respect, trade fairness via trade agreement reform, standing up to China, fighting for border security, and if it weren't for the freedom caucus repeal and replace of ObamaCare.

    What country are you living in ??

    Thank you Cap'n Obvious ... so what was it you said happened to the price of Chinese goods? Oh! that's right! You said prices went up. ::): I pointed out they hadn't though, because Xi Ping subsidies eat the cost of tariffs MEANT to increase prices. :roll:

    The boys have been pretty careful to stay away from consumer products.
    See what you notice when he puts them on the next 300 billion.
    Do you think he will exempt Apple?
    If China was eating the cost the value of imports would have dropped, not gone up.
    Even Kudlow knows this.

    The economy has been on the exact same, unchanging upward trend since 2010. Nothing trump has done has affected the trend line, on any economic metric.

    The take away here is that it took Obama 5 years to bring employment back to the level before the housing bubble-financial crisis. Why is that ?? Could that have contributed to why Hillary lost ??

    Didn't economics PhD Krugman predict a Trump economic collapse ??

    I have never owned an apple product, nor will I purchase anything from Wal Mart or Amazon. Apple stocks BTW already took the hit on the new tariffs. You keep droning on about "if Xi subsidized" Xi does, it isn't debatable, and it is a key element in negotiations. No Xi subsidizing Yen per Yen to MATCH the tariff will not make goods cheaper. US inflation 4/18 - 4/19 was 1.9 - 2.1% depending on source. Inflation on Chinese imports < 1% 2019 ... .07% highest est. I found.

    Your wasting you money. My wife came back from Walmart with $300 worth of Chinese clothes for the grandkids. Three large packing boxes. :)
    Sure they subsidize stuff - just like we do. But they are not buying business by offsetting tariffs.

    Apple is yet to be hit by the tariffs. But they may be if Trump goes thru with his June increase.

    The job of the Fed is to control inflation. Inflation was not an issue but they increased rates. Trump wants them to follow their charter.

    We are in a period of quantitative tightening to reverse the QE of the Obama years. Approximately $60B per month are being pulled out of bank reserves.

    Trump wants them to do as he tells them even though that isn't how the Fed works. Why? Because he knows lowering rates is stimulative to the economy and without a good economy he will not be re-elected.

    He knows what the charter of the Fed is. You obviously do not.

    Count yourself among the gullible if you think President Flim Flam gives a damn what the Fed's mandate is.................and among the uninformed if you think fighting inflation is their singular goal........it's to promote the goals of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long term interest rates.

    The Federal Reserve’s job is to maintain price stability. Doing so maximizes employment. The Carter economy with a misery index of 23 tragically illustrated that the Phillips Curve doesn’t work.

    You are the proof you are wrong.
    IF Trump was what you say he is, you and people like you would have disappeared long ago... mysteriously, like so many of the people who crossed the Clintons over the years.

    You have to wonder where all the progressive angst comes from. I’ve never seen such an unhappy group of people.

    Wrong in fact wages had been flat for nearly three decades and the middle class was earning 5k a year less than it had been before Obama.

    Happy now? Of course. The more you throw a temper tantrum- the better it is for us.

    That's what you alt left radicals said during Obama's term. :)

    It's the nature of the beast. Leftists are people who are never happy unless someone they don't like is getting castrated with a rusty hammer. They are constantly trying to fix things that aren't broken in the first place. A lot of them were disappointed with Obama because he didn't move far enough left fast enough and said so.
