It's all Chinese goods and this would be a shot from China that would immediately hurt, amongst others, trump's base.

trump is hurting us and everyone who voted for him needs to FEEL it before the rest of us can expect change.

The Republicans put this country on the ropes with the Bush administration. Now Putin/Trump is delivering the knockout blow.

But here's the thing, he manufactured this crisis, he will get a couple very minor concessions from China and then he'll claim hero and the economy will go back to normal. The scary part is that china knows this too.

I don't thing Trump can affect policy on this without commitment from congress or the American people. I don't know the full extent of the powers he has on tariffs, but according to the constitution, congress has the powers to regulate tariffs.

Maybe someone here does and can explain it to us.
