re: #175 Backwoods_Sleuth

Brutal headlines in Midwest papers on trade for @realDonaldTrump, including @qctimes: “Iowans got conned.” Asked about this today, Trump says this of farmers: “They understand that they are dong this for the country and we will make it up to them.”

That’s not how any of this works.

If farmers go out of business because your idiotic trade war makes these farmers lose overseas business they had, you can’t make that up to them.

Trump again shows he doesn’t get how economics or the economy works. https://t.co/tXf2mKsLrp
