Anbody nervous about a trade war?

[ip_law-hokie]

The rollout has been less than smooth. Does Trump need someone to tell him what to think, like gun control, or are conservatives protectionists now?

how come you don't freak out about all the tariffs used by other countries on their imports?

and no, not worried about a trade war at all

I honestly don’t know enough about the issue to have strong feelings one way or the other. I question whether our president knows enough either.

he has a whole staff to inform him so it was an informed decision, FYI, other countries tariff our products they import.... so far the worldwide economy has NOT collapsed

question, how do you do a smooth rollout? the people affected will not be happy, many folks in the USA will but no matter how he did it some folks were going to be pissed

there's not a good way to start a trade war, but coming out for it, then saying he's against it, and then going on a twitter storm for it, is probably not the conventional approach.

You do realize twitter is the only way he can communicate with the public that is not massaged and lied about by the media? thus tweets

What a crazy coincidence.

Former Trump adviser shed millions in steel-related stock weeks ahead of tariff announcement

A former Trump adviser is raising eyebrows in the investment community after disclosing a multi-million dollar sell-off in shares of a construction company reliant on steel just weeks before the President announced a 25 percent tariff on steel imports.

Carl Icahn, a billionaire investor and former special adviser to President Trump, disclosed in a February 22 SEC filing that his companies had shed a $31.3 million stake in Manitowoc. The company, according to its website, is a leading “manufacturer of cranes and lifting solutions with manufacturing, distribution, and service facilities.”

Manitowoc’s share value dropped 6 percent on Thursday after President Trump’s steel tariffs announcement, and on Friday shares hovered around $26. When Icahn sold off his Manitowoc holdings in mid-February, shares were trading between $32 and $34.

Which specific countries should we be freaked out about?

China, obviously. And Mexico is pretty high. The rest? I think they're pretty low.

This was a campaign promise, you dope.

A dumb campaign promise, but one nonetheless.

By campaign promise, you mean he promised Carl that he would give him a heads up before he announced his steel tariffs?

You're being a drama queen. This was no surprise. Trump alluded to bad trade deals since the R primary.

The EU has been penalizing Silicon Valley companies for years with big fines for anti-competitive ( ) behavior. However, the target is China and their predatory behavior. I fully applaud the tariff.

Trade war... a bad idea.
Trump’s quotes are concerning.

Meanwhile, in America Lite, where they elected a snowboarding instructor...

Here's an investment tip: invest in crouton and romaine futures.

If China is the target, one would think it could have been carried out better, as the EU and UK are pissed.

If China were the target, trump wouldn’t have gone after steel. We don’t get much steel from China.
