Trump is pathetic, he is a criminal and conman pure and simple. A one sided deal can only be negotiated if you win a war. Trump isn't in any position of power to ask for such demands.

Buy it from ourselves.... The reason why manufacturing was automated and outsourced was, because it costs too much to make it here. LOL

@BarkusMuhl companies, corporations, and capitalists in general have different interests than working people. Capitalists want to capture the global market, so they can increase their profits. Workers only care about keeping their jobs. The corporations have the $$$$$, so they can have the laws changed. Back when tariffs were high income taxes were very low. In the 1900s, income tax was as low as 5%. That was offset with high tariffs. Today, income tax is 15% Federal and 15% state, so we have pay about 30% in income tax every year. If you are a business, you can pay less than that, because you can write off a lot as business expenses. If you are a working class stiff, I don't know how you will survive this kind of economic environment. You're still going to pay income tax which is pretty high, you will be hit with tariffs which is just about everything we buy. In addition to inflation spiking up due to the Chinese not buying up our treasuries anymore.

Tariffs are collected from everyone who buys things made abroad, most things are made abroad. Then, give it to farmers who can't sell their goods due to these tariffs. It is like putting blood into one arm to the other. LOL

@muddyriverdogz I am businessman, and for business people. We only care about the bottom line, and that is profit. If it costs more to produce in country A, we will naturally move our production to country B. You can shift the blame on central banks, fiat currency, or whatever. The bottom line is after all the overhead, how much do I get to put into my pocket is what matters. My parent's generation is a bit different from mine. I am a Generation Xer, we really don't have morals. We tend to be amoral. My father's generation being the silent generation care about people. Even the Boomers care about people. They don't have that kind of empathy. When my generation start to take over from the Boomers, you better be worried. People like Jeff Bezos is from my generation, he doesn't give his employees even bathroom breaks. He makes them piss in a bottle.

@muddyriverdogz I have to say it has gotten tougher to make a living. Gone are the days when we could get a job and work there for 30 years and retire. You have to be multi-faceted to survive these days. There is no such a thing as a stable job, stable business, or a career. You have to constantly learn new things, and apply them. Life was so much simpler back in the 1970s and 1980s. One income could sustain a family back then. My father worked, and he made enough to provide for my whole family. Today, the wife has to work, the husband has to work, and in most cases it isn't enough. You have to go into debt. That is American life now.

@muddyriverdogz The US dollar became the world reserve currency after World War 2. Remember, the US won World War 2. Tariffs and duties were relaxed after World War 2. Tariffs were gradually replaced with income tax. Prior to Trump, we had high income tax, and almost no duties or tariffs. Now, you still have high income tax, and Trump is pushing for higher tariffs. Something has to give, or you will have people literally not having enough money to provide for themselves. They can use credit cards and debt to an extent, and these will eventually have to be paid back with interest.

Hey, I have a family to support, and others do too. If you aren't contributing to that, be quiet.

Truth STFU troll.

This gravy train is over. The Chinese buying up our debts is over. Interest rates will begin to spike as a result. We will probably go through a major recession.
