    Trump's war

    Seems the Chinese have chosen to enter this stupid and unnecessary "war".

    I have to give them credit--their response is insightful and calculated---they are going right to Trump's base in the heartland. The farmers are going to feel this---and they are already in bad straights.

    Are we supposed to imagine what the hell you are talking about or did the link get lost in space? My ESP isn't quite what it used to be.

    33% of all the soybeans grown in the US is exported to China.

    That could really hit the farmers in the pocketbook at the same time as their equipment is getting 25% more expensive.

    Great Trade War. Are we winning yet?

    I would expect the President will soon receive a call from Pat Woertz and Juan Luciano explaining how stupid this is.

    He's talking about a trade war, which is stupid and self-defeating.

    Happens all of the time, we just don't get the media involved in it. Deals come and go on a daily basis, no big deal, other than what the news is making of it.

    In your opinion which is not the know all and be all
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    James, instead of continually offering up your ridiculus comments all the time you would do well to just pass.

    As for your continued assault on city people---or more accurately anyone who does not fit your mirror image of American---that is just plain ignorant and insulting. Those living on either coast, or in cities, or drive cars or any number of other differences are no less equal in this country---just in case you never noticed.

    Grow up.
