    I'm hopeful that eventually you will present a reasonable argument in support of your view.

    So, why don't the trumps move back?

    There is no doubt the ecomony is better under Trump. I had some young people in my house during Obama that couldn't find a job. I watched people loose their houses and apartments. Having to extend unemployment checks. Between the last Bush and then Obama jobs were lost here. I don't know a young adult around here or in SC that doesn't have a job right now, back then I knew many.

    Right now the US economy is carrying the rest of the world. China needs us much more than we need them. Without access to our market, they would die.

    I can only go by firsthand knowledge. The Lumbee indians that stop by my house have jobs back, many young men in construction, roofing, painting, putting in pools, all are doing well. People who want to work can find good jobs now and teens can find their first part time jobs again. Now we just need the plants to come back and on the job training. A lot of older people lost their plant jobs that had been there over 10 years and their was around 8 near me.

    Throughout his presidency, Trump has sought to rescue segments of the economy he believed were abandoned by lawmakers at home and battered by competitors abroad. He particularly wanted to prop up US manufacturing and farming — both symbolic of an era when they formed dominant parts of the 20th century economic engine.


    The president sparked a trade war with China early last year, slapping tariffs on the world's second largest economic power as well as friendly trading partners in a bid to shore up those sectors' fortunes.


    The opposite occurred instead. American manufacturing is slumping and farmers have suffered painful losses, as the total value of agricultural exports to China has been more than halved since 2017. Trump appeared ready to scale back his ongoing trade wars recently.


    But those expectations were shattered when the president announced he was imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum from Brazil and Argentina on Monday, dragging two of the largest South American economies into the dispute.


    He alleged they were manipulating their currencies — a claim that experts reject — and making it harder for American farmers to compete. The president also threatened tariffs on French imports.

    Why do you post about stuff you clearly do not understand- in this case economics?

    I gave up hoping that any right winger would be intelligent enough to refute my arguments with real facts, not just talking points, and bull $#@!.
