    Donald Gump's Trade Strategy

    Steel and "Aluminum" Stocks down more than 10%

    Teflon Don does it again.

    And then TrumpCo buys a shed load of Aluminium and Steel company stock. And then the tariff gets dropped. Stock prices go up, TrumpCo sells. Happy days. For him, at least.

    He drained the swamp, and then filled it with new alligators.

      EU's offer of zero tariffs, not good enough

      He knows that even if tariffs are zero Europeans still won't buy American sh*te.

      Seriously they need to send a letter back wishing him well and promising to resume negotiations after he's finished his therapy.

        Feck me, he actually came up with line, this is a direct quote:

        "Their habits, their consumer habits are to buy their own cars".

        No you complete donkey, "their" habits are to buy the best cars they can find and its not American crap.

          US-China trade deficit widens after imposition of tariffs

          The harder Trump bashes China, the wider trade gap will become, any economist will tell you that.

            The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making.

            Although he was elected as a Republican, the president shows little affinity for ideals long espoused by conservatives: free minds, free markets and free people. At best, he has invoked these ideals in scripted settings. At worst, he has attacked them outright.

            In addition to his mass-marketing of the notion that the press is the “enemy of the people,” President Trump’s impulses are generally anti-trade and anti-democratic.

              America First going well, as Trump's plan to dismantle the US economy begins to work.

                  Trump succeeds in changing "worst deal ever" NAFTA

                  Congratulations to Trump for getting those incredibly important minor cosmetic changes agreed.
