No he’s not. It’s a free country. You can go out and do whatever the heck you wanna do. And he’s made it easier to do that now than it ever was with Obama. If you believe that your right to make your own choices has been taken away from you, you’re falling for the garbage that all the social-justice warrior democrats are feeding you.

The logic of the rabid right, punish America because china is "cheating" us. Sigh.
They’re more socialistic than our current president. And I don’t want things any worse than they already are.
Wow, it's hard to understand someone who used "social justice warrior" as an insult.
hint: social justice is good. fascism is bad.
Right? How about punishing China?
For those that say we are hurting them and because of it they're going to cave, please provide sources.
China is going to get punished more eventually when companies LEAVE
Couldn’t have said it better myself

They are leaving.

Who’s fascist?? Me?

But, but, but... you said we should be nice and not punish China.
Do you seriously think it's all China's fault? China did not get to the position that they are in by happenstance. It's the pure greed of the American companies that put China where they are. Wall Street demanding ever increasing profits. "Maximizing shareholder value" they say. Rewarding CEOs for gutting companies.
There are 2 incidents, that because of their proximity, will always stick in my mind about the absurdity of Wall Street. WorldCom filed Chapter 11 after trading on a Friday and the stock value went up on Monday morning. Around the same time IBM published their earnings. They were not what the "analysts" wanted. It was still a very healthy profit, just not as much as Wall Street wanted. The IBM stock plunged.
Screw Apple and their huge margins. Build them here and stop acting like the whiny beatch that you are Timmy
China’s stealing from companies that are in America. Makes no difference. Again, think of how we ended up in this situation to begin with.
Fascism was socialist in both Italy and Germany.
No, I said incentivize American companies to move away from manufacturing in China which would then hurt China. I said that very clearly multiple times now.

Yes US corporate greed. That is how it began and that's why it will never stop. Fine, beat China but when we move to another country, they'll do the same and we'll repeat the cycle because of American greed.
It doesn’t matter if China isn’t the only one at fault. They’ll be a parasite on the US as long as nobody ever confronts them.
[doublepost=1567221025][/doublepost]
Hm, so now you’re saying that you don’t trust American companies? I thought you said we should incentivize them to come back? But now you’re saying you don’t even trust them?

I don't trust anyone running this world, including Trump, China or huge American corporations.It doesn’t matter if China isn’t the only one at fault. They’ll be a parasite on the US as long as nobody ever confronts them.

If China cooperated, there would be no need for tariffs in the first place

Great!
Not as bad as the communists make for millions. I can only hope that we are seeing the beginnings of a complete disengagement from China.
Communist re-education camps in Xinjiang
The problem will never be solved if someone doesn’t have the spine to stand up and do something about it. With this, we must stop thinking short term.

So it is true. Americans no longer have the intestinal fortitude to do what needs to be done when faced with a threat. We are now so short sighted and self absorbed.

Well I wouldn’t whine about it as if I’m some hapless victim.
China makes cheap goods. It is Americans that keep on buying cheap goods. Why not start by buying made in USA iPhones.?
This ^^ ‘tis the strategy of our hopeless Democratic Party. The moment something goes wrong... whine and complain. And convince yourself that you are a helpless victim.
... speaking Chinese in a decade? There are no words of reason which can touch you.
Eating our lunch........ By making our stuff cheaper than we could and selling it to us in exchange for paper? Which they then use to purchase our financial assets? I fail to understand exactly where we're losing here.
If they're "eating our lunch" so badly, then why don't you move there? Evidently because you prefer it here. As does anyone who's sane, so... The entire premise is invalid.
Q.E.D.
It is working for India. Apple has started building iPhones there because of tariffs.
