Up to 24,000 good jobs going away. Thanks, Donny! MAGA!
Aside from the title, I don't see much in that article that wouldn't be happening if the tariffs weren't in place. The possibly not selling as many Mustangs in China is just speculation. Have to wait and see how that plays out. Most of the Chinese that could afford to buy a new Mustang before the tariffs will still have no problem affording one now.

'Can afford to' does not necessarily translate to 'want to.' Tariffs are resented.

And the other shoe, as you noted in your other message, is the domestic price going up due to impacts on material costs. Understand there are other factors, but an increase still is going to hurt.

White House curtails Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro's public role as Larry Kudlow rips him for comments on China talks

The Trump administration has deliberately curtailed trade advisor Peter Navarro's public role amid tensions with top economic advisor Larry Kudlow, a source said.

Kudlow criticized Navarro's comments on ongoing trade negotiations with China.

Two of Donny’s incompetent underlings in a public spat. What a clown show this administration is.

And to think that Trump's chief economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, doesn't even have any formal education in economics (he was a history major at the University of Rochester). It seems that the only qualification necessary to serve on in the Trump administration is to be a loudmouth on cable news.

A Wall Street Journal interview on trade shows Trump has no idea what he’s doing
He confuses tariffs and interest rates, and invents phantom new steel plants.

Nice regressive tax, these tarriffs. Trump let slip that he likes the revenue.

Trump's trade war with China is the biggest threat to the US economy in 2019, and it's making economists the most worried they've been in years

MAGA! F’ing buffoon in the Oval.

Technology Company Foxconn Is Rethinking Its $10 Billion Wisconsin Factory Amid Trump's China Trade War

Fox Con. Perfect, another disaster in the making thanks to Donny’s ignorance.
