Beto O'Rourke: "That's 300,000 human beings, who don't know how they'll provide for their families"

@BetoORourke

That's 300,000 human beings, who don't know how they'll provide for their families, put food on their tables, make enough to get by. President Trump is responsible for this, and it's on us to hold him accountable.




Trump’s trade war has killed 300,000 jobs
If the trade war continues, it could claim nearly 1 million jobs by the end of next year

My guess is the orange asshole throws in the towel early next year and try to make it look like a win.

He is in deep excrement on this one and has dragged us into it with him.

The Chinese have more control over their economy and money, so one could say they have the upper hand. They are being very strategic and not playing the grand, impetuous fool like our resident, despot narcissist. Any dealings with China should obviously be subtle, well played, strategic, informed and Trump has no capacity or understanding of that kind of nuance and diplomacy. China is not a shady real estate deal, they are a dragon.

I think Trump has put us in an inferior position here and that things have changed in some ways that cannot be reversed, but that's just my take on it.
