President Trump Interview Discussing China, Mexico, Tariffs and The U.S. Chamber of Commerce…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on June 10, 2019 by 

Earlier this morning President Donald Trump called in to CNBC to discuss a variety of subjects including: the ongoing trade negotiations with China; the threat of tariffs on Mexico over illegal immigration; the federal reserve; the status of the economy; the duplicity of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; collusion by democrats; the upcoming G20 summit in Japan, and much, much, more.

During the interview President Trump directly calls out the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for their anti-American position and self-interested advocacy for Wall Street multinational corporations. Additionally, President Trump pushes back against the claim that tariffs lead to higher U.S. prices, citing examples of China subsidizing their exports and low U.S. inflation.  Must Watch:

(LOL… POTUS Trump chomping-at-the-bit to get tariffs on the EU.)

Debate: Is There Too Much Inequality in America? | Learn Liberty


Published on Mar 8, 2013

Wealth inequality is real, but is it fair? The distribution of wealth in America is lopsided in the favor of the 1% – a point made by the video “Wealth Inequality in America.” This inequality is intuitively and philosophically unfair to many people, but what happens when we examine the roots of our motivation? How can society BEST help the poorest? How can individuals BEST provide better lives for themselves – and their loves ones? Can our BEST laws also be our FAIREST? A fair society is a challenge to the status quo. Learn Liberty asked two professors — a libertarian (Professor Steve Horwitz), and an opposing philosopher (Professor Jeffrey Reiman) — to answer questions about wealth, fairness, inequality, and the United States. This is their debate.

Is Trump Trying to Prevent China’s Rise with Tariffs?


Armstrong Economics Blog/China

Re-Posted Jun 10, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Martin, You said that China will become the financial capital of the world by 2032. Why do you think that what Trump is doing to China with tariffs and the trade war will not be able to stop China becoming the financial capital of the world?

RM

ANSWER: Trump’s tariffs are not intended to prevent China from rising. Rather, they are intended to open up China. The rise of China will come by turning inward to develop their own consumer market. The mercantilist model employed by Germany may have made Germany the biggest economy, but its people have not shared in that rise. This is the difference between an export model and a domestic model. The U.S. is the biggest economy and everyone wants to sell to America because it has the largest consumer market.

Immigrant-Hater Trump Welcomes Record Number of New U.S. Citizens


Published on Jun 4, 2019

Despite his opponents’ narrative that President Trump is anti-immigrant, he presides over huge growth in new citizens and approval of citizenship applications, including those of asylum seekers and refugees. Will Trump’s base of xenophobes and immigrant-haters abandon him because more foreigners are becoming citizens? Will the Progressive Left retract the “anti-immigrant” slur, now that they see how welcoming Trump is toward the tired, and poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free?

Sunday Talks: Clete Williams -vs- Leland Vitter – Trump “Perfectly Happy” to Hit China With More Tariffs…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on June 9, 2019 by 

Former White House China trade negotiator Clete Williams makes a rare appearance to discuss President Trump’s ongoing trade position with China; and the lessons they are learning from Trump’s severity with Mexico.

Fox News talking-hair Leland Vitter, a prime example of the axiom: “a little knowledge is dangerous”, tries his best to promote the preferred Murdoch points; however, Vitter finds himself struggling against the weight of the examples highlighted by Mr. Williams. Quite funny actually:

Worth noting: President Trump spoke with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador (AMLO) yesterday (See Tweets Below).

Act, or be acted upon…
