Return to earlier American standards of manufacturing and perhaps nobody need buy any washing machines from China. Would you pay more for a better product? I would. My parents bought a Maytag washer and dryer in the early 1970s. The washer finally broke down irretrievably after 40 years. But the dryer was still going strong. 

Yes, like mentioned by Frank Zappa.

All what we got here is American made, it's a little bit cheesey but it's nicely displayed..."

Oh, and it crumbles and brakes.

Another hit piece by the globalist.That was only if  marrying up a dryer and washer of the same brand any price conscious shopper would look for another dryer!Besides it creates close to 2000  high paying jobs which in turn creates spending ie ,college tution, buying  cars,houses,grocery's ,all sorts of revenue that helps my country prosper.  

Rejoice in your swamp.

"Trade wars are good and easy to win"

brexiteers said trade deals would be a piece of cake, palastine,chile and the Faroe islands hardly the creme de le creme

Check out the price of US metals companies stocks since he started this tariff stuff.

Winning?

 

 

LOL at all the failed stock comments. The only people that lost anything today were those that sold off based upon a couple of tweets. As I said in another thread when the market opens the buying frenzy will start and it did. Except for a couple tech companies that were near all time highs or semiconductors which is always the case on China news.

 

This was completely predictable and I bet the people that sold off were funnily enough Trump haters. OMG Trump tweeted sell! sell!!! selll!!! while hyperventilating about bad orange man under their fading breath. lol Quite a day on the street. Finished a fraction of a percent down, anybody that bought the dip is most likely well up on the day. Meanwhile Shanghai closed 5.85% down.

 

There is little doubt that the USA market is firing on all cylinders.

let's see if a deal can be agreed by COB Friday. BTW, from the beginning of the trade war, how much has it cost US in additional tariff payments / farmer subsidies etc versus Chinese tariff payments to the US? In the meantime US trade deficit with China continues to increase.

I can't answer your question, but here's a little more about how it's affecting farmers:

Trump Trade Tweets Send Grain Markets Diving to 42-Year Low

 

Soybean and corn futures slumped after tweets from Donald Trump that threaten an escalation of the U.S.-China trade war, frustrating battered American producers hoping for a quick resolution.

 

The Bloomberg Grains Subindex Total Return tumbled to the lowest since 1977. The prospect of an end to the crippling tariffs that Beijing imposed on U.S. soy, corn and wheat exports was one of the few positives for American agriculture markets.

Someone who rejoices in this when it is obvious many are hurting, because he is making money out of it, should look in his heart. 

Really sad.

So many experts on diplomatic wrangling. Please, when you spout off, kindly include the experience you have regarding international trade negotiations and the associated positions held. Otherwise, you would seem to be talking without substance, otherwise known as opinion.

That is what happens in democratic countries. Based on their experiences, self interest, and beliefs about national interests that impact their lives, people form opinions. And then they vote in elections for people that reflect their opinions. And there is no requirement that anyone acquire a PhD in international relations before they express their opinions through media or elections.

I think Mr. Dick is sad today, too. That Boeing stock he was crowing about buying 10 shares in the 378 range is down to 356. I'm guessing Mr. Dick is young and has only been trading in the last decade. I saw a lot of guys like him who thought they were bulletproof traders in the nasdaq and in 2000, they were vaporized. But at least they were out of the markets when the next group of trading superheroes got blown out of the water in 2007-2008. Actually, the people to feel sorry for are the savers, people relying on pension funds, and others who have been forced into the casino markets because the Fed has blown this huge debt bubble with zero interest rates and QE money printing, while making sure retirees and household savers couldn't put their money in savings account and get 4-5 percent or a short term CD at 6-8 percent.
