I'm in Europe at this time and at conferences at TUAC. The strategy emerging from business is a search for different markets. If successful then one has to ponder the fact that the U.S. will then struggle to get back in the loop. Confidence in the U.S. as a trading client has crashed.

He doesnt give a crap about the Building Trades. Hates unions.

What a joke the other countries made him the laughing stock of the world

Wow. The tariffs were bringing in SO much money to the US that it was necessary to pause them for 90 days. 🙄 🤣 😂

He paused it for the countries that are negotiating.

Don't be a fool, he's not listening to labor for anything. He's a lunatic out for him and his wealthy cronies ONLY!!!

The Federal trade commission gonna just let that slide?

The other Countries didn’t cave in to the Bully and the reason for the 90 day pause! ORANGE HITLER!!

How big a f***ing moron do you have to be to STILL support Trump?
