This is socialism.

Not even close

Actually it’s communism

Ironically we'll be borrowing the money from socialist China to deal with the issues caused by tRUmp's tariffs on socialist China. So now we're gonna pay higher prices for imports, creating more debt repay the with interest. tRUmp...king of bankruptcies.

This administration sounds a lot like Trump’s business management style.
-
Indeed. It’s all corruption. From top to bottom.

This is absolutely crazy. The clueless wonder is threatening to put $500 Billion in tariffs w China? Does he propose to have Congress underwrite the entire loss to the U.S economy? Where are the R fiscal hawks now? Will the U.S. economy be the 7th Trump bankruptcy?
-
Actually, technically the 8th. Ichan saved trump from a 7th during the campaign. Then Ichan took a massive loss a year later.

We'll just borrow from China to subsidize farmers who are struggling because of tariffs on China.
-
We've been borrowing from China for some time now. Last time I looked was a long time ago, and I think they held $800 billion in treasuries.
-
I know, whats an extra 12 billion. Why pay the bar tab when they just keep letting you drink. Buy me a shot at the "mine's bigger than yours" military parade?
-
What I don’t get is why China would even be willing to give us any money when we’re placing tariffs on them?! I would think “the bank of China” would run a credit check and deny “the red headed stepchild” anymore money, especially knowing tariffs will be placed on them.

They will profit off of us all they can. If only Trump would have just listened to the 1000+ economists who wrote and told him this whole shit show was a bad idea. They also pointed out that he was about make the same economic decision that contributed to the great depression.
