Trade War!

Every time you get called out on bullshit and someone cites a source to contradict you you back peddle into semantic crap. And then you deny that you are "walking back", as they say in the news, your foolish statement.

One time would be fine. One single case.

Edmund Burke (1729-1797) “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” | George Santayana (1863-1952) “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Right. Those people who don't remember how thoroughly theories like the plum pudding model of the atom or mercantalism were disproven are doomed to try them again.

China is moving forward with its plan to counter President Donald Trump's new tariffs on steel and aluminum, levying duties that will take effect Monday on more than $3 billion in U.S. exports to the country.

In a statement Sunday, the Chinese government said it would impose the retaliatory tariffs on 128 products, according to an informal translation.

Ya, I noticed that at the end of the day. Maybe this will work out before they actually do any damage.

The markets came back up after Larry Kudlow on FOX Business essentially said that Trump was full of shit on the trade war, that the US would go through the WTO and not implement tariffs. I'm going to assume that there will be a "full confidence in Larry Kudlow" statement by the White House soon lol.

I do wish Obama would stop fucking around with the markets so Trump could get back to talking about them.
