    He knows that is what most people think so he is repeating the myth hoping they will believe it.

    Isn't it a scam? Perhaps this is Chinese collusion with Trump to tax each other's people who buy exports from either country. All they have to do is keep tariffs a little lower than domestic products and the people from both countries get taxed by their own governments with trade imbalances remaining mostly unchanged.
    In other words, outsourced jobs never come back and people get taxed for buying the slightly cheaper imports.

    Scam.

    If Trump told his followers the sky is green and the grass is pink, they would be repeating that to everyone too.

    Not to worry, this idiot shall pass. All we need to do now is educate his followers.

    No, I wouldn’t believe him re a green sky....But, if he says he will make our country rich? Yeah, silly me, given his record and performance, I would believe him.

    Yeah, because overthrowing a democracy in Venezuela is an America first policy. Now Trump is talking about military action/invasion. Isn't that exactly what he campaigned against?

    How is war going to make our country rich? Gasoline prices are high. That doesn't help our economy. The rich are getting richer though. They are happy.

    Not much of a boon for them manufacturers who are supposed to bring all them jobs back though, or the retailers whose transport costs go up. Your gonna need some joined up thinking on this one.

    It is not much better than when Obama left the White House, except for the rich. They are doing better.

    With these new tariffs are prices of imports higher than domestic products? Notice how nobody asks that question on the corporate news media. That is because they don't want you to ask that question. That is how they prevent people from talking about it. Nobody talks about what they never think about.

    It is a scam!

    Show me where the economy picked up at a pace better than when Obama left office. Economic data does not support your assertion.
    You should ask someone who is seeking employment if the economy is doing better. Asking someone with a job is not a good way to find out.

    What trend was reversed? The official unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.8%.

    The tariffs must be too low, right? If they were high enough we would be getting the desired result, not the opposite result. It is a scam!
