The tariffs are Trump's doing, and for sure they are causing some pain in certain sectors, and Trump absolutely owns that. I assume Trump thinks it will ultimately pay of with more favorable terms from China, who hasn't been a very good friend in terms of stealing intellectual property and the like. And the tariffs might be hurting China more as their stock market is absolutely in the toilet, and everything I'm reading says his tariffs are a reason why.

Would be nice to hear him admit that there is damage being done here, and what he plans to do about it.

"In the mean time I might have to go buy some lobsters and help support our friends in Maine."

The most brilliant idea I've heard in a year!!
