Trump Plays Dangerous Game Of Chicken With Trade Tariffs

[dozu888]

Before he got elected, the majority of Trump's business ventures were failures and his main successes were promotional ( leasing his name or image ) or entertainment projects like "The Apprentice". The Trump Tower in Toronto collapsed in a sea of lawsuits and lost money, the only failed hotel complex in Toronto in recent years. There is nothing empty about his failures in Atlantic City, Toronto, and one of his big complexes in Florida ( the one where he partnered with a convicted felon ).

There is nothing about him that suggests he knows how to run a business. There is however evidence that he is a strong promoter and knows how to use business law to his advantage. I'm not sure how this will help run an economy; it suggests when times get tough he'll just move on to new projects and refuse to take responsibility for the problems he creates.

so what - how do you keep score in biz? profit and net worth.

we can argue in endless circles about this and that hotel etc... meaningless.

this is a trading forum... how do you keep score in trading? who cares how many accounts have blown up if you pull dough from the market, net net.

situations and players are vastly different.... why all the chicken little... and you are in Toronto, so not American? perspective can be different then.

They were not called " Deplorable" for nothing!

with Europe barely recovering,

The unemployment in Germany (and several other countries in Europe) is at the lowest levels since 30 years. In Bayern the word "unemployed" has even lost his meaning as there are more jobs available than people to fill these jobs. You clearly have no idea at all about the economic situation in Europe, like you have no idea about how international trading and macro economy works.

Of course HE could build a border wall along the Canadian border ??
How many miles is that ?

lol

Yes perspective is different... it is realistic, not like Trump's statements.

I said just recoverING... point is Europe is trailing the US, hence also trailing in raising rates.

previous life I worked in export.. current life I consult for companies to operate in the international market.

ok so you are not American... of course you will feel different.. you are the enemy in this war.

the true intent is something like this... but to get there we need to go thru the 'cry uncle' contest... such a simple idea, why so difficult for people to understand.

of course free trade is good... but has to be FAIR free trade.

Most of the best traders who are now top hedge fund managers have blown up atleast, 1 account and lost their monies! There is nobody who has been successful and not paid his dues. Difference with retail traders is they learned from their mistakes! Except, for Bernie Madoff. He claimed to have placed 77 straight winning trades in a row! Can you imagine what are the odds of that happening? Probably, 10 trillion to 1 atleast! Even those who have started successful businesses will tell you that they failed multiple times at the start! Only foolish and ignorant people think that they will never fail in life!
