Trump really needs to do something about this.

China is now running the largest trade surplus with America, between any two countries, in the history of our world.

EVER.

Trump is not a magician. And he must deal with an uncooperative Congress. But if Hillary were president, she'd get heat on this. And so should Trump.

Sigh. People don’t know how the numbers are gamed.

All this tariff talk is really slowing down trade. /s

I live near the Port of Baton Rouge, a bulk loading port for Ocean ships. In the last two months there has been an explosion of activity at this port. Most times now there are 4 or 5 ships at the docks or waiting in midstream. Usually there is only one ship in port. Could these be ships trying to beat the tariffs by loading up ahead of time? Could it be that Longbeach, CA is experiencing importers trying to get ahead of the tariffs?

Americans have more money because of Trump and the good economy. Thus we are able to buy more products. This is a big ship and it takes time to turn it around. Trump is on the right path.
