The first layoffs from Trump’s tariffs are here
WAPO in MSN (so no paywall)

Quote:
The first casualties of President Trump’s trade war are 60 workers at Mid-Continent Nail, America’s largest nail manufacturer. They lost their jobs on June 15 at a factory in a part of Missouri that voted overwhelmingly for Trump. The whole company could be out of business by Labor Day....

Mid-Continent Nail blames the layoffs on Trump’s tariffs, and the company says all 500 employees could lose their jobs by Labor Day. The next round of cuts could come in a matter of days.

The trouble for the company started at the end of May when Trump put a hefty 25 percent tariff on steel imports from Mexico and Canada. Mid-Continent had been importing steel from Mexico that American workers would then turn into nails.

After the tariff, the company was forced to hike its prices, and customers fled. Orders are a mere 30 percent of what they were a year ago, said George Skarich, the vice president of sales. He suspects many customers are now buying Chinese nails....

Thanks Trump.

you are prejudging his global negotiating skills based on biased and incomplete information also your views are as narrow as they are idiotic. they aren't based on facts, they're based on feelings.

A year and an half in his presidency, still somehow prejudging. Starting trade wars, information is somehow incomplete and biased.

It's ok Nik we get that you are in love with Trump, I'll try not to hurt your feelings too much since you seem to have a hard time dealing with it.

I'd send you a dollar for a snickers if canadian money wasn't "fake" or whatever you believe.

I'll take it. Even if it's probably not enough to buy a full size candy bar.

I'm certainly not trump's biggest fan but if I were to make the claim that his negotiating skills were slackalacking I would certainly include some examples of such a claim.

Instead of crying about him being a bully to some subcontractors on a job uumpteen years ago....

I don't mean what did you do. I have no idea if you were of voting age in California at the time. Just in that situation would you vote for Arnold or the Porn star? Or do you go with Gary Coleman?

Well if the last decade or so seeing how Presidential blame works has taught me anything it's that we can definitely still blame Obama for this and there is even an off chance we can still blame Bush.

The new outrage is that Jimmy Fallon's feelings are hurt cause Trump called him out.

He responded by doing a stupid game with a D list celebrity.

But is it?

Could it be that just like right went further right that the left is now going further left?

Besides Crowley ran a Hillary campaign and thought he could just phone it in... jokes on him and Pelosi (he was being groomed to be a speaker of the house).

The right didn't go further right, it's much the same as late 80's to early 90's, which has been a problem lately. Social Conservatism is defined by it's resistance to change. Instead the left in the USA has dialed it up to 11 and gone full communist, something that would of been unthinkable two decades ago. What was once a fringe element of "*** capitalism, take those rich *** ***and give it to us" has now become the main pillar of the left, especially among young twenty-somethings who see older people with ***they want now.

Bernie Sanders, who is "independent" because he believed the Democrats weren't socialist enough, has been heralded as some sort of patron saint.

If your on about immigration, Conservatives has always been about controlled immigration and are still ok with controlled immigration. Liberals want zero borders (what the *** do you think catch and release is) and full citizenship to all those poor people who will vote to give themselves ***. The right sees the left trying to pad their numbers and gain a future uncontested majority through population manipulation and freaks he *** out.

And a President Trump is the result.
