    And now you played the "fake news" card to go along with the "but Obama" card. Can we get a "but Hillary" worked into this somehow?

    But as far as you are concerned, Obama should have started a trade war with China in the middle of a world wide recession?

    Are you not aware of the targeted tariffs and WTO victories Obama achieved later in his administration while fighting an obstructionist Republican House the whole way? When Obama left, even the Trump admin acknowledged that China was not a currency manipulator at the time.

    You mean I proved the fake news, Trump has had zero bearing on farmers going bankrupt. Oh I thought you guys said Obama had the economy rolling 6 years after he was inaugurated. Hell yeah I think he should've attempted to do something vs nothing except sit back and watch an industry, that feeds this country, die on the vine. What did the Republicans do that kept Obama from fighting China's manipulation of the COMMODITY market? Don't try to spin this to currency.

    The term "Victory" is an outcome. Not the case here. I am not a fan of Trump or tariffs, but in the case of China, Im glad were fighting back.

    It would help if you actually say HOW China was manipulating ag commodity prices under Obama then. Most would argue that they drove prices to all time highs.

    I’m not a farmer so it’s not my problem. Is that what you said ?

    Great. More votes for Democrats.

    Thank you.

    Where was all this patience when Obama was President? It seems Trump supporters have decided Trump can do anything he wants & it doesn't matter whether its illegal, immoral or treasonous, it's OK with them. That kind of blind obedience is itself a deep, dark disturbing danger to this nation. America has never been a nation to practice blind obedience to any leader. That's far too similar to what happened in Europe in the 1930s, and everyone who knows any history at all doesn't want to repeat that.

    I quoted you. "victories Obama achieved" Maybe you and I have different definitions of "victory" For me, its an outcome. For others, it may be a participation trophy.

    They earned both nicknames. And you voted for a President who constantly calls his opponents derogatory names. Why is that OK?

    Failure is a conclusion. Apparently, those calling others stupid don't know the definition of victory or failure. Is this what we get when we give trophies for participation?

    Did you care when the Obamacare tax affected me negatively?

    Nope, you pushed for it anyways.

    And why did you do that?

    Because it was for a greater good so **** Spooky, she is collateral damage.

    Put the food source for the nation out of business, and there is no Nation.

    What a ignorant statement.

    Corporations who choose to do business in China, allow the theft of intellectual property.
    China has been doing that for 20 yrs. Yet our corporations did business there anyway.

    The WTO victories? Well yes, they were victories. You are the one trying to claim victory over a trade war without any objective.
