Trump is enacting tariffs that had been approved by Congress, giving the president discretion in matters of national security. The claim that this matter involved national security is utter nonsense, and an abuse of power by the president. The losers here will be American consumers.
Why are you so gleeful about Americans getting screwed by the president to benefit a few American companies that can't compete in a free market? Not to mention other American companies that will be hurt when other countries impose retaliatory tariffs on our exports.

For starters Clocker I am not gleeful, and if you got smoked in todays market it is on you. I saw this as a step that was in the que, and I expected and was ready.
As for the utter nonsense you say, many inside our country do not agree with you. Just as Obama picked winners and losers, this time you can only complain because that is all you can do for the next 7 years.
