Oh. It wasn't clear I guess.

Where? Actually, I guess it doesn't matter as I'll be at Tol. Central Catholic for a b.b. game. I'll pm you something wild.

It was abundantly clear.

To you. Oh well.

Maybe you should read it slower and take it in its entirety. It's actually not that difficult. So far it seems you were the only one confused by it.

He is not alone.

Okay.

Go ahead, take another dig at me.

Sauder.

Guess we'll wave at each other on the expressway, huh?

Has anyone ever noticed that 40 is always offline when The View is on? Coincidence? I think not.

Hmmmm ... this is interesting ... very very interesting ...

He said this was going to be signed this week ... hmmmm ... i’m Guessing were aways away ... *L* ..

I just hope he don’t cave on this one ... it won’t be a trade war ... im not sure there’s a single country involved where we don’t have at least a 50 billion a year deficit ... with their math deficiencies i’m sure the lefties won’t understand that ...

STAY STRONG DONNIE ... STAY STRONG SIR ...

Trump, under pressure at home and abroad, hints at wiggle room on tariffs

Under pressure at home and abroad over his announcement of sanctions on imported aluminum and steel, President Trump indicated Tuesday there may be flexibility about how they are applied to some countries - if they play ball in return.

Trump has come under fire from international allies and lawmakers at home for the tariffs, which he said would be 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum. Canada, U.K. and the European Union have all spoken out against the tariffs -- with the European Commission threatening “countermeasures” should Trump's tariffs go ahead.

On Tuesday, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said at a press conference at the White House alongside President Trump that Sweden opposed the tariffs, but added he understands Trump’s desire to look after his country.

At that conference, Trump stood by a threat he made Saturday, promising a car tax if the E.U. increased tariffs in response.

“If they do that then we put a big tax of 25 percent on their cars and believe me they won’t be doing it for very long,” he warned, pointing to an "unfair" trade setup between the E.U. and the U.S.

At the same time, he said he wants to implement them in a "loving, loving way" and also opened the door for a like-for-like reduction of tariffs with the E.U.

“Unless they can do something for us, as an example if the E.U. takes off some of the horrible barriers that make it impossible for our product to go into there, then we can start talking, otherwise we’ll leave it the way it is,” he said.

Trump also offered some possible flexibility for Canada and Mexico if they deal on renegotiating the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

“We’re working on NAFTA, if we’re able to make a deal with Canada and Mexico on NAFTA, there will be no reason to do tariffs with Canada and Mexico,” he said.

This came after a tweet Monday in which he had echoed a similar sentiment.

“Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum will only come off if new & fair NAFTA agreement is signed,” Trump tweeted.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reflected that rhetoric in a House hearing Tuesday.

To the extent that we’re successful in renegotiating NAFTA, those tariffs won’t apply to Mexico and Canada,” he told lawmakers.

He also cooled down some of the rhetoric coming from Trump about a potential trade war.

“We are not looking to get into trade wars,” he said. “We are looking to make sure that U.S. companies can compete fairly around the world.”

The New York Times reported Tuesday that, in a call to British Prime Minister Theresa May, Trump disagreed with May’s assessment that the tariffs would be dangerous but concluded by telling her he had not made a final decision on what to do.

But in his remarks Tuesday, Trump also didn’t back down from some of his more aggressive rhetoric on trade wars.

“When we’re behind on every single country, trade wars aren’t so bad,” he said.

I write computer graphics software that is used by the video game/vfx/architecture/design industries. Our company has about 100 people but I head up a small division in Ohio of 5 people (main HQ is in Europe)

I also do my own computer software as my own business when allows, but I've scaled it back in recent years to be able to spend more time with my son (soon sons). I still have some clients but not like I used to.

What about you?

P.S. Thanks for the conversation. I think this board is much better when we have real conversations...

It will be like everything Trump.

-He says something.
-Everyone goes
-Then it happens and everyone is like
-Then we go
-And they go

Then the question becomes ...

Are u SICK of WINNING

HELL NO!!!

It says something that yet another person in the WH resigned today, and nobody on the board is talking about it.

Cohen just resigned over the dispute with Trump over tariffs.

Cohen served us well as he put together Trumps tax cuts, tax reform and the cutting of red tape.

He should be proud of all he accomplished but it is time to move on.

Will look real nice on a resume.

I love when 40 and Diam fangirl over Trump because it's quite literally no different than teens at a sleepover squealing over a Justin Timberlake poster, except instead of some boy band singer it's an elderly racist man who whines all the time.

Trumps message verses his actions seemed confusing to me.

In the opening of his statement he described a situation that very much described nations such as China. They have very poor wages and subsidize their steel industry to dump steel in markets that undercut modern nations that do not use such tactics.

Then he included in his tariffs many nations that do none of the very things he mentioned. Nations included would be Germany, Italy, Spain, France, United Kingdom and more. Many of these nations are our allies. They pay good wages and benefits and none of which fall into the description that Trump described in his statement.

It seems to this point nothing is written in stone in regards to which nations will be included in these tariffs when all is said and done. Once again when your leader speaks in generalities it's hard to know what the hell is going on.

EXACTLY ... stay on your toes .. keep them guessing ....

Would u like me to tell u whats going on now and what will happen next or would u like to stay in your world? ...

Watching the News today I see where President Trump has got the entire World buzzing about tariffs!

Rattle that cage Trumpster!

It does look like he's causing other nations to put tariffs on China for dumping cheap steel. That's a good thing.

Trump doubled down on threats of more tariffs to China today. The DOW is currently down 600+ pts in reaction. (3:15 PM)

You can't work a sick body back to health without going through some pain.

Get em Trump!

Do you wake up and immediately put your Trump Cheerleader skirt on or do you wait until after your morning dump?

The guy is fixing and trying to fix decades of America losing these Trade wars. It is time for a counter attack.

You and others are so wrapped up in hating Trump you have forgotten about America.
Shame.

You could just admit you like the skirt instead of making things up.

I have noticed you've quit raving about how rich Trump is making you with the stock market lately. The wind in your world certainly blows in different directions.

He always knows which way it's blowing because of his skirt though... just saying.

Yeah, we're in great hands with the imbecile who doesn't understand what a trade deficit is and gets fleeced in every negotiation he enters into.

Just wait until the North Korea meeting next month. Can't imagine how much he will give away before Kim says anything there.

Kim will compliment his tie, and Trump will end up rambling about how great juche is at some rally in Alabama.

Markets go up and down. We have to go down a long way to cut into my Trump Profits. This is a buying opportunity.

This market is so huge now that 600 points is barely over 2 percent.

I guess if you wish to isolate your post strictly to today instead of over the past week or two you could say 600 points.

Remember the last time you talked about the stock market, and claimed that you were in an illegal plot with it to defraud others because you clearly didn't understand what the word "collude" meant?

Truly a saavy market expert.
