TRUMP at a Pennsylvania rally Thursday night: "U.S. Steel is opening up seven plants." On Tuesday, he told supporters in Florida: "U.S. Steel just announced that they're building six new steel mills."
THE FACTS: The Pittsburgh-based company has made no such announcement. U.S. Steel spokeswoman Meghan Cox declined to comment on Trump's claim but said any "operational changes" such as the opening of new mills would be "publicly announced" and "made available on our website" if it occurred.

Well it is factual, instead of carrots farmers increased soy. The very small fraction that these United States sells into mainland China is a pittance compared to what China sells into our country. The pressure of trade tariffs is well worth the pain we absorb for objectives of forcing fair trade with China. Our friend with the economics degree is more concerned about his portfolio than those poor poor Walmart shoppers.

GM has always been their own worse enemy.
Look around? They have the worst designed cars on the planet. Wasted billions on the Volt.
The Cadillac division has been a loser for 15 yrs plus
Pontiac and Olds disappeared after producing quite possibly the worst looking cars ever.
Anybody recall the Aztek?
Good riddance!

Did you just make this up? The big carrot growers are in California, Washington, and Texas. Soybeans are a major crop in the upper Midwest: Iowa, Minnesota, and the Dakotas. And soybean farmers there are hurting.

But it's so much easier for the lazy-minded to blame Trump for GM's woes.

Soy Bean farmers can plant numerous other crops besides Soy Beans. They've been planting crops based on proposed prices for the upcoming year forever. They will just choose to plant other crops for the most part. In ND farmers have a choice between about fourteen different crops. Most have half a dozen different crops in a given year. And with the steep reduction of Soy Bean acres planted over the next couple years will come record prices for Soy Beans the following couple years. Happens all the time with crops.

Including carrots?
Are ND farmers hurt or not by Chinese tariffs on soybeans?

Why not? Most of the politicians there and elsewhere are just as clueless about tariffs as Trump is, and don't realize that all they are doing is imposing higher taxes on their own citizens.

Because at the end of the day the grown-ups will decide, i.e. those with the money in their pockets.

The "grown-ups" with money in their pockets hate tariffs. They love the profits on cheap imports sold to citizens of the richest country in the world in a healthy economy.
