The Keyboard Baby Bully thinks he can win tariff war.

Trump and his band of (we ignore history) advisers believe America will win the tariff war because we have the strongest economy, we can take more economic pain. History tells us no one wins a tariff war.

Saw dust for brains Trump does not understand the global economy has become completely intertwined. If you start a tariff war you cannot predict what will happen because of how complex the global economy has become. One thing is certain, Americans will get hurt. Trump voters will get hurt.

I believe Trump will continue the tariff war until he sees a drop in his poll numbers, By then it may be to late for Trump. He may not be able to fix it.

Putin's telling him to do this for his own reasons and drumpf is so stupid he believes his masters' lies, to the detriment of liberal economies everywhere, but worst for our true and real friends. Notice tariffs being put on anything Russian, I sure haven't.

lead this country into failed economic sh**, just like his failed businesses and his Tax Returns he keeps hidden because he doesn't want us to see what a failure he's been. As long as the gravy train continues for his cohorts, it will continue on. Once they start to feel some pressure they will tell him STFU IMO.

Company's will not be reporting these until September 8k filings. And some may delay those until the December filing dates. Just for political purposes.
