So you finally agree that his enemies in these forums, in the USA and internationally are "brainless".

ROTFLMAOPMP!

Yes, they are unbelievably so stupid in not understanding Trump is playing them for the fools that they are.

ROTFLMAOPMP!

Your ignoring the macro economics of the Trump trade policies is appalling.

During a June 28 visit to Mount Pleasant, Wis. -- the site of a planned Foxconn manufacturing facility -- President Donald Trump touted his economic record, including the growth of the nation’s gross domestic product, which measures the size of the economy.

"Watch those GDP numbers," Trump said. "We started off at a very low number, and right now we hit a 3.2," or 3.2 percentage growth compared to the last quarter on an annualized basis. "Nobody thought that was possible."

This statement includes both factual inaccuracies and an apparent misunderstanding of the statistical measurement Trump is citing.

Trump’s first problem is a straightforward factual inaccuracy. He said that "right now," growth was 3.2 percent. However, the most recent growth number, for the first quarter of 2018, wasn’t 3.2 percent. It was considerably lower, at 2.0 percent. (The next growth number, for the second quarter of 2018, won’t be available for several more weeks.)

On Trump’s watch, the U.S. did see one quarter of 3.2 percent growth -- the third quarter of 2017. By now, that data point is three quarters old.

Arguably, the bigger problem with Trump’s assertion is the idea that "nobody thought that was possible." Here, Trump is confusing 3 percent growth during a single quarter with 3 percent growth sustained over an entire year.

By contrast, quarterly increases of 3 percent are not rare -- in fact, they happened eight times under Obama, including levels Trump has not yet reached, such as 4.6 percent (twice) and 5.2 percent (once).

We rate the statement False.

But what are their proposals to move forward?

Trump emulating Europe's, China's and other countries belief in the necessity to impose Tariffs to protect their countries economies and workers.

May not be beneficial to many countries, including the USA.

But what are their proposals to move forward?

The blind see what they want to see, the deaf hear what they want to hear & the dumb continue spouting B/S :-)

I would have thought that was obvious, get your president to stop placing tariffs on countries that are/were allies of the US.

Why not then have no tariffs between 'friends'?

Any answer?

Now that Harley-Davidson is moving part of its operation out of the U.S., my Administration is working with other Motor Cycle companies who want to move into the U.S. Harley customers are not happy with their move - sales are down 7% in 2017. The U.S. is where the Action is!

So the reason European Countries and China among all others impose Tariffs upon imported goods. Doesn't include protecting their countries industries and workers?

Really?

BTW: Why do the 'allies' have tariffs?
Why not then have no tariffs between 'friends'?

EU and United States
Given the low average tariffs (under 3%), the key to unlocking this potential lies in the tackling of non-tariff barriers. These consist mainly of customs procedures and behind the border regulatory restrictions.
The non-tariff barriers come from diverging regulatory systems (standards definitions notably), but also other non-tariff measures, such as those related to certain aspects of security or consumer protection.
