“A sudden tariff increase with less than a week’s notice would severely disrupt U.S. businesses, especially small companies that have limited resources to mitigate the impact,” says David French, senior vice president of government relations for the National Retail Federation. “American consumers will face higher prices, and U.S. jobs will be lost.”

The tariff would affect nearly 6,000 products and parts, including many consumer items such as furniture, clothing, electronics, handbags, luggage, hardware, shampoo, perfume, dishes, bedsheets, bicycles, meat and cereal. New-vehicle prices also could rise as parts from China become more expensive, Bank of America Merrill Lynch auto analyst John Murphy said in a research note Monday.

SHOULD BE AN INTERSTING DAY TOMORROW FOR THE GREAT DEAL MAKER AND THE REST OF US.
Please cite any specific examples of a company that will be hurt by tariffs on China imports. From your list I hope I never eat any meat or cereal from China, as easily could be counterfeit.

I am betting Trump will back off, in such a manner he will see it as a win!!

If he "wins" I win..

American companies aren't hurt by tariffs on Chinese imports, American consumers are.

WE SHOULD ALL INCLUDE INTO OUR KNOWLEDGE BASE, THE RECENT CNN INTERVIEW WITH HOWARD STERN, A PERSONAL TRUMP FRIEND.

A FEW OF THE THINGS MENTIONED WAS THAT STERN SAID TRUMP DID NOT WANT TO BE PRESIDENT, HE JUST WANTED TO WIN THE ELECTION.

TRUMP CALLED STERN AND ASK HIM TO SPEAK AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AND ENDORSE HIM. STERN FELT HE COULD HAVE BEEN OFFERED A CABNIT POSSITION WITHOUT HAVING THE QUALIFICATIONS.

TRUMP TV RATING WE AT A LOW AND IT WAS SUGGESTED IF HE RAN FOR THE PRESIDENCY, HIS RATING WOULD INCREASE.

Oh my.
He would have been better than a few 0bama appointed.
I doubt Howard would sell guns to Mexican cartels.

You guys can't get it into your heads that you have been parroting a false narrative on these trade issues since jump street. That's why OT General have been mostly dead and dull of late. It's your side that has lowered the bar since June 2015.

The deranged Trump lunatics are so clueless, it is actually funny. The only sad part is that most of you guys think you know what the score is despite the fact that you guys can't even count.

Oh, btw, that bloomberg story you linked ... the most recent company 'report' was one dated October 2018 -- 8-9-10 months ago. Some were way earlier than that too.

One of those companies mentioned -- Harley Davidson, has blamed Trump for their decision in moving a plant overseas. Same with attributing declining HOG sales thanks to Trump. A lie and the trade, tariff and business dunces on here and in the media bought it like the lemmings thay are.

In fact BOTH slowing sales and the H-D decision to leave the USA began years before Trump even took office!

For god's sake, does anyone around here even know how to think anymore?

Hard to think when you are under the bed hiding.
Formula, if you had been at least minimally consistent between Trump and OBama, we might take you seriously, but you whine about Trump doing or not dong the EXACT same stuff Obama ignored.

The tile of your thread speak volumes about your bias and paranoia. Read it and tell you are anywhere near objective.

Or, YOU are a solid Trump-hater.
Goes both ways.

I do not agree with every thing he does.

I don't hate Trump. I don't hate anyone.
It's trust I'm talking about. I have no trust in Trump

More TRUMP SPEAK

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Boastful on the occasion of Memorial Day, President Donald Trump and his Veterans Affairs secretary are claiming full credit for health care improvements that were underway before they took office.

Trump said he passed a private-sector health care program, Veterans Choice, after failed attempts by past presidents for the last "45 years." That's not true. The Choice program, which allows veterans to see doctors outside the government-run VA system at taxpayer expense, was first passed in 2014 under President Barack Obama."

That article is from 2017. I would expect better from you.

Trump is in Japan today on a state visit...so he did his thing on Thursday which is a day the Old Guard places flags at Arlington:
