Firing Back at Trump in the Trade War with Tariffs Aimed at His Base

from opportunistic view point,

we can trade soya futures, lean hog futures,
whiskey and spirits ETF.


how about trading Cranberry derivatives ?
Interesting fact, cranberries are controlled by a cabal called Ocean Spray that would put everyone in charge of it in jail for a long long time if they were subject to the same anti-trust laws as every other for-profit business in the U.S. But they are but poor farmers banding together as a co-operative, so under the Capper-Volstead Act they get immunity from the anti-trust laws the rest of us have to follow. So no, you wouldn't be able to trade Cranberry derivatives and if you could you'd be up against a legal price fixing monopoly so probably not the best place for trading profits. Hope this screws all of them; greedy self-entitled, holier than thou farmers.

I always figured Ocean Spray was owned by Proctor and Gamble or something....
 
The saddest part of this is that China's leaders know the U.S. down to the point that they understand something as obscure as the cranberry industry and how it impacts Ryan's congressional district. Meanwhile Trump and most of his cabinet would be challenged to find the entire country of China on a map, I'd put good money not a single one of them would be able to name a Chinese province let alone know what was produced there and they clearly don't even have the intellect to know that they should ask U.S. experts who do know about subtleties like who is in charge in a given area and how targeted tariffs would impact the power structure in the country. This whole thing is very embarrassing, it's what happens when you get a bunch of rank amateurs who are proud of their ignorance running things.

The fact that these people got elected was a shock for me. My image of smart Americans has changed a lot.
Even a blind can see the idiocy of the Trump clan. And these people should run the US and can decide about a worldwar? Frightening to me.

How much was 17 times 6? LOL.

Or short term gain, long term pain??? Future will tell.

Google has only 1.84% market share in China.
Alibaba is one of the biggest webshops in the world.
China is working on replacing Windows and Android by their own software. (same thing happens in Russia)
And? Why shouldn't they? Is it Trump's fault? They do whatever is best for them. Trump does whatever is best for his country. This is the old principle at work: 'Give credit to others but pay yourself first'. This is how it works in the real world.

Not all americans, just a very vocal minority. The following article is insightful of the perfect storm (in the eyes of his base.)

The self-made man is a powerful idea and if one has given up on changing their own circumstance, even a Con fulfills the idea.

From my understanding between 45 and 50% of voters voted for him (depending on who's story to believe). No exactly a minority to me.


About a quarter of the US population is non-registered to vote.

A little more than half of registered voters turned out to vote.

Yes, depending on the bias, the numbers and images change.

The above particular one maps 1 vote = 1 dot.

Interesting to note, border towns with Mexico are predominately blue as well as Texas's urban centers.

Instead of ad hominem attacks, please dispute the documented facts please.

THE slogan in 6 years time could be LAEA or let Americans eat again.
Maybe being on the outside looking in one can see more clearly what is happening.
And as a staunch ally it concerns us.
Will just one man fry the planet with his climate change views ? If the icecaps melt sea levels are expected to rise 64 metres. If so it is goodbye to all the seaboard cities.
