DIRECT HIT ON CONSUMERS
Hundreds of retailers, footwear companies and business groups urged
Trump to scrap the proposed tariffs, warning they would jack up consumer
prices and trigger job losses.

More than 200 U.S. footwear companies on Wednesday said the added 15%
duties on shoes would come on top of tariffs that already average 11%
and reach 67% on some shoes, boosting costs for consumers by $4 billion
every year.

€œImposing tariffs in September on the majority of all footwear
products from China - including nearly every type of leather shoe - will
make it impossible for hardworking American individuals and families to
escape the harm that comes from these tax increases,€� the companies
wrote in a letter to Trump.

China has been ****ing the US for years.Â* President Trump is a business man.Â* He's negotiating a more equitable deal for US taxpayers.

If President Trump represented you, you'd have a brexit deal by now.

How else is the US going to pay for all the services it provides for
mexican illegals (food, shelter, health and education)? Your tax (and
tariff) dollars at work!

How else is the US going to pay for it's military-industrial-surveilance
complex and its forever-wars? Your tax (and tariff) dollars at work!

What deals has the Art of the Deal man negotiated for America so far?

North Korea? No
Iran? No
China? No
Immigration Reform with Congress? No
His wall? No
Healthcare? No

The only deal that he has negotiated in two and a half years that I know
of is NAFTA, where after
all the complaining, all the lies, all the drama, he negotiated an agreement
with Mexico and Canada that isn't substantively different than the previous
NAFTA. He basically changed the name and now it's supposed to be tremendous.
He;s a sick, mental, lying shyster that relishes stirring up crap, creating
division, being on the news every day. He's incapable of leading and winning
people over with sound, reasoned solutions.

Healthcare? No


There is no such thing as "free" healthcare. Someone has to provide the "free" healthcare and someone has to pay for the "free" healthcare.

Yah, I know, you and Ocasio-Kotex prolly want to raise taxes on working people to provide the "free" healthcare to lazy slackers.
