There was a question from a guy who imports from China, and asking if Trump would consider lifting the tariffs.
$19B being distributed to the farmers from China tariffs. And money goes back into the treasury. (Basically, the guy is SOL)

Brett: Have you considered more tariffs to make China pay for the virus?
Trump: Well, we are considering all options.
At a minimum, tariffs are our greatest negotiating tool. 
They have to buy from us, if they do not buy, we will terminate the deal.
And, complaining about WHO and WTO. All they do is agree with China.

Mnuchin: 
Not bailing out states that were poorly managed before this crisis.
On Friday, they signed to allow states to use money to pay police, firemen, etc (part of the  $150B coronavirus state aid).

If you would have told me on November 10, 2016 that the Trump presidency would end in 2020 with the economy failing and the country dying...I would have totally believed you.

 

It's been apparent that you are unable to think for yourself, but the next time you commit plagiarism, remember to change the font size to match the default here.

U.S. shed 20.5 million jobs in April amid pandemic

Analysts warned it could take many years to return to the 3.5 percent unemployment rate experienced in February.

Workers fear for their health and finances as states rush to reopen

Many of the 33 million unemployed Americans may not be ready to retake their old jobs but may not have much choice.

The jobs numbers deepen the predicament not only for Trump but for every down-ballot Republican. With 14.7 percent unemployment and state and local governments on the verge of more layoffs, Senate and House Republicans are urging Trump to oppose relief that would keep hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of police officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, public hospital nurses and doctors, teachers and other essential workers on payroll. A group of bizarrely tone-deaf conservatives in the House — including House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), as well as Reps. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.), Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Van Taylor (R-Tex.), Russ Fulcher (Idaho), Ken Buck (R-Colo.), Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), Chip Roy (R-Tex.), Ben Cline (R-Va.) and Scott Perry (R-Pa.) — wrote to Trump pleading with him not to send money to their cash-strapped states and cities. The voters of Arizona, Colorado, South Carolina, Florida, Texas, Idaho, Virginia and Pennsylvania should know that their representatives are happy to see even more of them unemployed (although Republicans happily supported $500 billion for large corporations).

They want to let the States and local governments starve? Idiots, and animals. They just hate the country

I take it your "public" funding is at risk. 

The economy is, it's just that Republicans are too stupid to see that, or really care. Like how you try and make it about me personally, because you have no argument. You must be a real frustrated loser 1st class. ?

You are correct, I have no argument. I am merely entertaining my self. I didn't create a world full of sheep who generally take the easy way out. Well, all those trends have led us to today. Few were willing to accept the ounce of prevention approach and now we get to enjoy the ton of cure. You try to hide your hostility but it's like a cancer eating away at you. Why else do you support everything that has brought our collective problems to such a zenith? The best part is that you promote all the people and ideas that created such a mess in the first place. Even for those that think they are awake, they are still generally naive about the true horror show that has plagued us and the world. We aren't all gonna make it through this. Might as well enjoy the ride and hope for the best. You do you though. Believe me, I am looking forward to all of your commentary over the next 12 months...that is if you can last that long. Personally, I doubt you have the endurance.?

Hey, who knows, maybe the Supreme Court will be dumb enough to kill health insurance for 30 million Americans on top of all this. Sure would be doing what they want. Republican leaders hate the people.

If the country didn't fall so madly in love with exporting jobs that had benefits to far off lands, perhaps most of those people would have had coverage today through actual employment, with the added benefit of supply chains being secured. It's time we all took our medicine and learned some harsh lessons and apply them. Try to relax in the meantime. Adults will make everything safe and comfortable for you.
