It's on a rollercoaster ride right now. If the market gets a whif that the tarrifs may be called off, it rises. But trump has been fairly clear they will happen; it's the white house and cabinet that are trying to ease fears.

But volatility has its own rewards. By themselves, extreme swings can bring about a crash. Look back to '87. The market was swinging wildly, and it finally gave up and put the money on the sidelines prompting a major crash. Of course, there were underlying imperfections, but we have those now as well.

It's almost as if trump is trying to crash the economy. From the ruins I'm sure he will reap profit. Emergency declarations, suspension of rules, massive spending bills, PRIVATIZATION, all funneled through his cronies.
He is on record as liking them; he can go bargain hunting.

Lets look at his tax returns...... oh right, he won't release them. wonder why?

How many homes does he own? Four? How much did his wife steal from her university? He made over $1M in 2016, and that doesn't include his wifes graft.

He ain't no pauper.
He made a million from his book. They own two houses.

If you're conflating having a million dollars with being a billionaire I'd say you need to brush up on your math skills.

Does anyone think that the Chinese owned American companies trading with China will get the terrif credited back? After all most of the large foreign Chinese companies are state owned.
If America is anything like Australia the Chinese own lots of farms so the tariff's will hurt American farmers but wont bother the Chinese ones. It may even have them escalate their food security policy and purchase more farms. And as most know China does not sell farm land.

No. What will happen is that pork from Chinese owned farms will travel to a third country and then head to China under a different flag and this about the tariff.

Or the Chinese farm pork will just get a free pass.

Trumpers in ag country are gonna love that.

Loo, You're the one triggered (crying) over immigrants coming to our country, contributing to our economy and doing jobs whites are too lazy to do.
Where have I done any of that?
Oh, that’s right. Can’t refute my statement, so pretend I said something else and argue that.
