    It wasn't a war so much as the US getting raped with tariffs and not responding.

    Our economy is and has been the most powerful for a long time. That's a pretty pathetic "rape."

    It's not our economy when it's owned by China, it's not powerful when it's inflated by astronomical debt and deficit.

    Where are all the Chinese made goods you bought 3-5 years ago? In a landfill.
    What are the Chinese buying from the US? Land!
    What is the value of land they bought 3-5 years ago?
    Are they selling land to Americans?

    We are not getting raped; we are just a cheap whore with no business sense.

    Strange that so many Trump supporters say that they are now so happy with the fall in index that they are going to buy more shares yet the shares have been going down since the high in January. It's a bit like the gambler believing that the next spin of the wheel must be a win. Reminds me of the threads created during the other big falls from the time the index was 26600 so many years ago, sorry, meant 2 months ago

    Oh, you don't consider giving the Chinese our patents to do business being raped? Let's ask the EU to start giving us their patents and see how they react.

    China prevents things like music and movies from entering and instead supports the illegal copying of such.

    China is requiring American companies to move their R&D patents to China and give them full access.

    China restricts access to their service sector from US companies.

    China uses QIP's to keep out US agricultural products.

    Here's the report:

    Did you thank Obama when shares were on sale in 2009?

    I guess in Trump Land, Trump is always great, whether the market rises or falls.

    White Democrat Chinese child labor sweatshop supporters are going to rush to this thread as they always do when it comes to their love of their benefits off the forced labor of impoverished and abused children. But of course that is so. The Democratic Party is the party of slavery for the benefit of white people.

    China bought Smithfields a few years back.

    Tariffs will do nothing to stop intellectual theft.

    That takes investment in infrastructure. Trump puts actual money into none of his proposals ......just vague ideas

    There is no American industry left that the Democratic Party and MSM propaganda outlets of the global super rich do not want to destroy.

    Normally I'd be licking my chops to pick up some shares on the cheap after a 2.5% dive in the S&P.

    But with this assortment of republican morons behind that economic wheel, who knows how far this thing could drop.

    CNBC reporting that China will now target no less than 128 US products.

    Could be staring at Black Friday tomorrow...

    Japan's Nikkei, along with other Asian markets, will likely get destroyed when they open shortly...
