I want my $2,500 a year from Obamacare

By POTUS (idiots) own admission, he has held back tariffs so we as AMERICANS in OUR country don't get CRUSHED during the Christmas rush. Seriously? How PATHETIC is that. He's considerate enough for us all to have one more Christmas without having to scratch for pennies! BARF!

Hell No...

Hardly.

Rich or not, No President PAST Trump Had the American Gutts to DARE Put Tariffs on two -faced China, President Trump is Fearless and world leaders know IT.😑

Were those switched to obama care keep their doctors. Did premiums drop? Did drug prices drop under o'care? Why aren't ER visits dropping?

Be careful this is NBC Socialist=Dem=Liberal news, they pole and get their facts from other Socialist=Dem=Liberals.

Looks like NBC forgot to add that it will also hurt the portfolios of politicians stockmarket in DC. Which might be why some politicians don't see a problem at the border by doing nothing.

No. That was easy.

I was on the fence. Now upon reading this I'm 100% behind Trump and his tariffs

Let's first fact check the Deep State and the swamp rats doing more damage than Russia could ever do.

It is fun watching Democrat’s suddenly oppose taxes on big business. It’s now official, you will take absolutely any position , as long as Trump supports the opposite.

Simple. Don't buy cheap imports that are now too expensive. If Coca-Cola want to keep their profits up after using aluminium from Chinese 'dumping' by passing it on to consumers then consumers need to hit back at them not those attempting to halt the Chinese extortionists.

MAGA2020 Tariff them till they comply! Keep your peeps we can't afford them

Tariffs never work. It’s a tax on consumers. Socialism never worked either. We need capitalism which we will never get because democrats are against it and republicans can’t and won’t implement it.

The consumer pays the tariff, the Boston tea party was reaction to an unfair tax/ tariff

If tariffs are not benefiting countries and hurting own people, then please explain to us why do countries impose tariffs on other countries? Tariffs are not new things, in fact, they are only tools in some countries to stop neighbors from dumping cheap products to protect locals

Oxymoron -NBC NEWS fact checking...

Tax payers, as ALWAYS, get stuck footing the bill.

Trump's foreign policy increasingly consists of a single word, “tariffs.” His contempt for allies undermines American diplomacy, or whatever is left of it, from Iran to North Korea, from Venezuela to China.

We will pay them to stop China’s abuses do just stop it NBC. You make it more costly and a longer process. Support your country, would you?

Buy American

If you think Trump’s faithful will believe the facts than Trump’s disinformation, you’re wrong. They may not drink the kool-aid but they’re ready to take the space flight.

A) The people who import the item subject to tariff, so ultimately the consumer. B) No

Fact check, RCA is NBC uses achetype words, sounds and pics to trigger people to hate each other and keep us fighting, just like Nipper ... click link

He probably is.

Sigh ! Tarriffs is an import tax , the importer pays those tax in return he add the extra tax on the price of the product so who ever buys the product pays the Tarriffs close enough NBC?

Fact check: US media is rooting for China in the trade war. That's cool, but much like with Hillary, you're destined for more disappointment.

No surprise here.

What do we expect when the Orange Lord of Lies disseminates his Fake Truths.

Same people who pay for insurance tax hikes, Amazon tax hikes and every other tax hike. TheConsumer

realDonaldTrump telling lies, tell us something new

If tariffs don't work then why are we the only ones who don't have them?

TLDR: No
