i agree that the president is unwell.but as long as the economy keeps ticking along it's going to be hard to unseat him.i don't understand it.apparently people don't care about.goodness anymore.he doesn't seem to be someone that you can put faith in.sorry for being so pessimistic. the future of america is uncertain Democrats are going to need a very strong message in 2020. What Trump's base sees is a strong, take no prisoners approach to his governing style. They are blind to his flaws, until it hits them in the face. We have yet to see the impact of the tariffs and the tax cuts, plus interest rates are rising. Trump has yet to be tested in a major crisis. That could turn the tide.

The statement accused the Trump administration of being “fickle” and “provoking a trade war” by imposing massive tariffs on China. “This move is not only damaging bilateral interests but also undermining the world trade order,” the statement said. “China firmly opposes this.” China said in its statement that while it “does not want to fight a trade war,” it “has to respond strongly.” “We call on all countries to take joint actions, resolutely put an end to this outdated and regressive behavior, and firmly defend the common interests of humankind.” .....market is down over 200 |

Well "thank you" Donald Trump, yet another increase in cost of goods and cost of living for the American citizen. Another way of regressively taxing the middle/lower
income consumers.
