Like I said, more evidence for an answer to the OP's question.Nothing, out from my taxes, nothing has changed.
Probably out of the rich pockets i assume.

That's an easy one - falsely pinning problems on foreigners, especially non-white ones, tends to play well with his base.I have long been in support of measures to reduce the consumption of Chinese goods. I don’t shop at Walmart and I try to avoid shoes and clothes made there (it’s difficult though!)
I’m at a loss as to why Trump makes his own clothing in China and has not attempted any kind of “buy American” campaign, if he truly wants to reduce our dependence on Chinese goods and increase manufacturing in the U.S.
Government getting involved with the means of production? Uh oh, sounds like SOCIALISM! to me. Better to let the free market sort it out by having the government impose tariffs.There's rarely any secret about any of Donald's lies... his followers choose not to see them anyway.
Well, rather than artificially inflating the prices using the government, what kind of incentives could we offer US companies to actually make better products?

Being rich has nothing to do with it. It's good business sense. If you start a business, you do it to make money. Otherwise either you don't start it or you don't get rich. At the same time, he saw a need to change the rules of the game, and when the time was right finally decided to seek the position where he could make those changes.But he’s supposedly rich enough to buy American and support American manufacturing. We can’t “bring manufacturing jobs back” unless Americans buy American.
Yup, Trump is a person who puts his own wealth and profits before his country. Plenty of businesses chose less profit in order to uphold certain values. It’s not an either/or equation. It’s no different than me choosing to spend more $$ on goods from smaller businesses rather than shop at Walmart.Being rich has nothing to do with it. It's good business sense.

Tweleve-dimension chess.Just read this tweet from Trump:
"For 10 months, China has been paying Tariffs to the USA of 25% on 50 Billion Dollars of High Tech, and 10% on 200 Billion Dollars of other goods. These payments are partially responsible for our great economic results. The 10% will go up to 25% on Friday. 325 Billions Dollars," Trump tweeted Sunday.
So looks to me like he believes, or wants people to believe, that China is paying the tariffs and that is somehow boosting the economy already.
Well, you’ll notice that clothing is exempt from the tariffs.Yup, Trump is a person who puts his own wealth and profits before his country.

I don't think that selling a good below cost, or manipulating currency or trade is something that needs to be repented from. All nations do this, (American included) China just happens to be much better at it in part due to their command economy, where things can be coordinated better. The risk Trump takes by letting this trade war drag out is from the farm states, who already are balking on trade. If Trump loses their support, he might not be around long enough to "win."He's giving China "space to repent". It's a Godly principle.

Oh no, SOCIALISM!
He's pumping aid to those farmers as fast as he can.
He's embraced Socialism, you mean.

So all those Trump Brand (and Ivanka too) clothing items are still undercutting American clothing manufacturers.
Government doesn't own those farms.
