The Problem Isn't a "Trade War" - The Problem Is Trump
By Thom Hartmann A...
The United States needs to protect its domestic economy. We need to protect jobs in manufacturing. We need to rebuild manufacturing. But this needs to come from a comprehensive, coherent, multifaceted strategy that may well include tariffs. The problem with what Trump is doing is that he is trying to execute American economic and trade policy by dictate, rather than by legislation. No company is going to build a factory based on Trump's executive orders, knowing that they will be reversed in less than two years.Trump's problems and the economy's problems have little to do with the "trade war" but everything to do with how stupidly Trump is pursuing trade policy.

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
President trump has brought disgrace to that Nobel office of president and has made a mockery of that great constitution of the United States and has caused that Nobel office to be brought into disrepute and the worlds economy to crash and go into another Great Depression with his tradeing wars that nobody will win what a waist of effort when will the Republican Party wake up and see that this is a dangerous man occupying this great Nobel office and show him the door,
And tell him to get out,
