Trump is Tweeting his new punishment for China right now

[Mike 03]

China should not have put new Tariffs on 75 BILLION DOLLARS of United States product (politically motivated!). Starting on October 1st, the 250 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, currently being taxed at 25%, will be taxed at 30%...

Additionally, the remaining 300 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, that was being taxed from September 1st at 10%, will now be taxed at 15%. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Sorry, I don't know how to post tweets.

10. You would think he would have anticipated this and had some meaningful counter.

Something a little better than, "Oh yeah, I'll show you ..."

[JHB]

13. Hmmm...

So, does he keep raising the amount in steps until he gets to ninety or a hundred-percent? I don't think China intends to back down.

[world wide wally]

[Takket]

15. He can't win. China knows they can ride this out

Didn't a Wharton professor call him the dumbest fucking student he ever had?

[smirkymonkey]

Yes, go ahead and antagonize the Chinese. Well played, dipshit! They only have the power to completely crash our economy you stupid fucking moron! Arghhhhhhhhhh!

18. What happens when Hackers hacks into his account?

He should not be allowed to set any policy or law through Twitter..

21. At least we won't be paying out as much agricultural subsidies to farmers.

Out of business farms don’t get subsidies.

Trump loving farmers, you deserve every ounce of this. Go to hell.

We should let the land go back to its natural state.
