The $250 billion of goods from China taxed at 25%, will be taxed at 30%

Lie.

GDP growth was actually better when Obama was in charge. And he did it WITHOUT these megalomaniac tax cuts.

Achievements Donald Trump:
- Record high Trade deficit with China
- Record high Debt growth (1.2 trillion a year !!!)
- GDP growth 2.2 percent, debt build up 5.6 percent per year, that's great organic growth isn't it !
- Losing the trade war BIG TIME
- Rustbelt is toast, losing manufacturing jobs like there is no tomorrow
- Kim is doing daily missile tests / having fun about clumsy DT (just like everybody else in this world)

BTW Labor participation rate is 6 percent lower no wonder you have low unemployment. Just make sure a large chunk of your population doesn't participate and you'll get a great unemployment rate.

Employment rate is lower than France, can you believe that Manu !!!??

Fact of the matter is, Trump is the worst president ever, he's such a loser, I mean a loser-loser. Impeachment is too late.

The man is mentally unstable. One of the few, possibly only, people to go broke operating a casino. Declared bankruptcy 6 times. He's now trashing the economy. The US is now paying farmers not to grow crops because it's no longer profitable. He's burning down the house and morons here, who've drunk the Kool-Aid, are praising him like he's some kind of genius. Just stop and think about it. It's not going to end well.

Aren't you adorable. Do you actually believe he only takes a dollar a year to serve. He donates his $400k salary to the government, ostensibly for the tax write-off. But he makes that amount and more EVERY WEEK by requiring administration travel be booked at his properties (the one's he was supposed to not have an interest in while serving, but still does). The whole presidency is pretty much a grift, and he's making a lot of money. And as has been said by barkie above, Trump simply rode a trend in the economy, and then actually slowed down the pace of improvement. All the while, adding debt at a faster pace. And one other point that barkie didn't mention, some of the markets, like soybean, that Trump has destroyed, are never coming back.

No, I am not saying that, don't put words in my mouth. She has been elected on completely different rhetoric, now when in congress, her views and opinions turned completely, so I am sure she won't make it into congress again.

And other opinions? So when I say holocaust wasn't as bad, its just another opinion? And if I said so and somebody pointed that out and I got dead threats, it wouldn't be my fault, but the person's who pointed that out fault? Just an example.

He did wait till after the weekly close of the market. Usually news of this impact, when it occurs on a Friday or Saturday seem to have their effects blunted by the time of the next week's open. As if giving the markets time to properly digest the news lessens the impact. He may reverse course over the weekend too, especially on the most preposterous exhortation that American biz immediately cease operating in China. As if !

Irrelevant. One does not to be a politician to be able to criticise a politician. In fact, this is one of democracy's pillars: the leader's action is always a subject of public scrutiny. Worldwide, if such leader, and his country, pretends to be the world's No.1. You do not like it? Consider moving to North Korea, then. It should suit you better, than free world.

I know Barky isn't so dense as to fail to understand that uhbamma threw 10t at the economy, which had just bottomed when he was inaugurated. Barky knows well that a recovery after a blow-up like 2007-8 will be a strong one, if the administration even tries a little. We know that the administration was a limp noodle, and spent 8 freebie years, making a marginal come-back by writing hot checks. Then, when the international financiers tried to bring the Trump economy down by throwing interest on, that we can't possibly afford, the fed was simply trying to drive us into the dirt like rigganomics. It didn't happen because of some solid emergency actions by the administration. Barky knows all of this but is intent to use some hardly related facts to disprove what he knows but doesn't like.

He may be a wacko but another, even more dangerous possibility is that the POTUS knows well what he is doing. He just does not give a damn about economy, all he cares about is to get him and his family to another presidential term. This is why he keeps pondering in his tweets to his half-wit supporters. Ignorants need simplistic ideas on how things are and this is precisely what he is selling them. DT has alwas been a brilliant BS merchant.

He is forcing the FED to cut. Giving the FED the reason to if they can't find it by now. Its a race to zero now. And a race to negative for many. Trillions are out there running around printed post 2008. CHF will go even more negative and still will find the Franc running away in strength as everyone looks for trillions to find a safe haven in a negative yield world.

Trump just told the FED if you won't cut then I will force you to cut. Do not expect any retreat from this plan now. Nothing changes until the FED Sept meeting and of course a weak US dollar to follow.

The recession is going to come no matter what. They almost had rates normalized and then the trade war impact took hold. Well that and Brexit and the general malaise in global consumption.
