opinion Trump has failed us all; his failures will cost us many lives and a likely deep recession if we are lucky, maybe depression and ruin if we aren’t. This is trumps last year as presendeny of anything other than a cell block
opinion ah shaddup. FakeNewsMedia
opinion So now it's the tariffs that forced US companies to make nearly all of our medical needs in China and elsewhere? Most of us just thought it was the greed of US companies. I guess we were wrong. It was those pesky tariffs all along.
opinion You would prefer all this crap came from China? Kind of why we are here in the first place.
opinion Screw this opinion- this would not have been an issue if corrupt government would not have let these factories leave destroying vital Natl Security jobs in USA
opinion a narcissistic ignoramus is incharge , I feel sorry for Americans

opinion You Globalists let the productions move to other countries, how shameless you Globalists are!
opinion Key word, opinion piece. China is not our friend
opinion Does WSJ every compliment Trump? I remember the WSJ was very critical of Trump’s travel ban on China. They look like idiots now. Plus, since the WSJ dances to China’s tune it’s become a direct pipeline for Chinese propaganda to the U.S.
opinion I doubt it.

opinion As with empathy, Trump and his base understand little to nothing of economics
opinion Negative
opinion Leadership. One never realizes it value, until it is absent. Facing arguably the most devastating crisis since WWII, and this nation does not have a competent -- never mind an inspiring -- leader. We are instead saddled with a insecure, narcissistic third-rate conman
opinion trying it out...tsting
opinion This is dumb. It’s not tariffs but free trade decisions to outsource our critical needs to a communist country. If anyone is to blame, it’s the free trade think tankers of the past 30 years.
opinion What The WSJ is actually criticizing the Trump admin? How about trying to blame the Obama Admin for this.. oh, wait, they thought of it, but that did not work..
opinion Couldn’t one say that heavy taxes and liability burdens on large companies from previous years anc presidents have chased them out of the us?
opinion WRONG. ITS CCPCHINA THAT CAUSED THE GLOBAL CRASH AND PROBLEMS. NOT TRUMP.
opinion What we have really learned from all this is we are TOO dependent on China! In times of crisis we cannot get or produce the things we need. We need to bring some manufacturing home!!
opinion Do you want us to import more stuff from China? Wasn't ChinaVirus enough for a while?
opinion Havent liked Trump since about '91 ish but several years ago when he was talking about needing to move more manufacturing back here....he wasnt entirely wrong. Not saying dont import, but we should also make enough here so we arent too dependent on other countries. Common sense.
opinion Oh yes, let's buy cheap medical supplies from China, I'm sure they'll never threat US with it
opinion I don’t get trumps decision on this deal
opinion Wrong again.
opinion Maybe if previous administrations/Congress had been awake, they wouldn't have allowed manufacturing of CRUCIAL products to be totally off shored. Today's problem was caused by PAST mistakes. THIS HAS GOT TO BE ADDRESSED. no one is saying EVERYTHING has to be made in the USA
