[@MM-sf3rl]

Munchkin is comfortable because he has millions of dollars. You middle Americans should have him over to dinner and let him see what chicken looks like instead of steak.

[@laurejon]

US tariffs on EU exports will give the UK a huge amount of leverage in the Brexit negotiations. Keep up the good work.

[@GH-if5xw]

You need to establish the definition of Free Trade or any negotiation you try is useless. Remember the word Free is in the definition. Get the definition agreed to and your on the way to “Free Trade” Not Tariffs.

把贸易战打到底 不仅是货物贸易 对服务贸易也要着手

[@nath8282]

In new Harvard-Harris poll, 83% of Americans said they supported Trump’s effort to level the playing field on foreign trade (3-9-18) A week after Trump unveiled tariffs of 30% on imports of solar panels, one of China's biggest manufacturers announced that it plans to open a new plant in the U.S. (1-30-18) Docs filed in Jacksonville, Fla, at start of February state a "leading international manufacturer of solar panels is seeking to invest more than $400 million in building a plant in the city (2-6-18)

[@solomonking6634]

There will be ups and down but 5he bottom lines we will emerges as the winner

[@offgridwanabe]

What will you do when Trump comes for your job?

[@nancycox7250]

Steven is so intelligent and ready for the "dawg attacks ." Bravo. His replies are quick and truthful!

[@gordonstewart6757]

His first major statement makes no sense . "The objective is to have 3% growth". This means 3% inflation per year and ever escalating debt simultaneously depreciating USD purchasing power, which amounts to a lower standard of living for the vast majority of the public. Growth that costs more then revenue is not "net growth" therefore should not be contemplated by people that are in Washington to fix problems , presumably for the sake of the nation's well being . Mnuchin is a Corporate Fascist and should be interviewed by someone that can navigate his rhetoric . Shame on CNBC for such a weak interview on such an important topic.

[@Argonaut121]

He lost me at "the President is focused". Then he lost me again by claiming that sanctions against North Korea have worked. if so, why hasn't Trump signed the sanctions against Russia, which have been sitting on Trump's desk after receiving almost unanimous bipartisan support in Congress? I guess we're not interested in sanctions against the country that interfered in our elections.

[@imranpatel5997]

Trump sees China as the future threat. Russia is a HAS BEEN.

[@synthiaraeathletics617]

HE DID SIGN THE SANCTIONS AND IT DOES TAKE A WHILE TO GET SANCTIONS DONE AND IN PLACE. HOWEVER AT THE SAME TIME HE ARMED UKRAINE WHICH PIUSSES RUSSIA OFF MORE THEN ANYTHING AND HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER ON DEC 21 NAMED THE RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS THAT FUND THE MEDDLING AND OTHER CRIMES AGAINST OUR COUNTRY. DONT BE FOOLED WITH MSM AND CNN SAYING NOTHING IS BEING DONE. HERE IS A LINK TO SEN GET ON HER KNEES HARRIS ASKING ABOUT THE SANCTIONS AND THE DNI AND THEN CIA DIRECTOR JUMPS IN AS WELL AND EXPLAINS WHAT IS BEING DONE TO RUSSIA kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2HCpJmBqrSraas

[@drakefire1800]

Argonaut121 Quit listening to MSNBC. Russia has done nothing against us. They already had a military naval base in Crimea. It was left over from the USSR.

[@lynutermark1454]

Q has your answers, and you are not going to like them.

[@andrewneilson3214]

Provide American Industry with Govt Gaurinteed loans and Rebuild the Backbone of American Industry Rebuild American Steel and Aluminum Thx God For Trump!!

[@serenachen9385]

Another one going get fired .😁😁😁

[@danieljansen7803]

Are all democrats comments need to be negative and insulting your insulting your self

[@3321far]

Does he have Parkinson's? I don't want to be insensitive if he does, but Michael Fox doesn't twitch like this guy. If I was a cynic I would say he's a spoiled brat who's not used to people challenging him. Thank God Lloyd Blankfein didn't quit when Daddy's boy made partner before him.

[@DRIrM-wg7to]

Tariff is Tax… Tariff is Tax…at the border. Eventually the US citizen pays for it Tariff is Tax… It is used to Blackmail countries into submission

[@np2035]

Trump 2020!!!!

[@motorctymdman]

All MSNBC and other propaganda networks can say is "It Could" bring job losses, mass inflation , trade wars. that's all they say! They cant say "It Will". Just morons reading a page that's handed to them and predicting made up scenarios. So calm down and lets see.

[@SalvadorMolinaMolina]

You are talking about this as if this is not a known scenario. Trade wars have been historically bad. These are facts. This is not Propaganda, its just stating the obvious. This is not the first time this has happen, all you have to do is look at the previous results and consequences.

[@bobsapp4643]

Salvador Ivan Molina Molina so u think its okay for others to screw us over as long as it makes the elites happy? Nixon & Bush doesn’t have the guts to turn this into a real trade war. They give in to the pressure.

[@David-tp7sr]

motorctymdman It's obvious those affected by American tariffs will retaliate. EU has already issued a very quick response. Also, China will crush you in a trade war.

[@drakefire1800]

motorctymdman the corp heads are just pushing free trade nonsense because their bosses are making bank off selling us out.

[@bentalexranebundgaard4867]

Large scale trade wars = loss of jobs see Smooth - Haley act

[@np2035]

Trump 2020

[@MrJamesLongstreet]

TRUMP/PENCE2020!!!

[@calulmann9196]

Why does Trump hate America?

[@synthiaraeathletics617]

CAL YOUR IGNORANT

[@calulmann9196]

I think you meant to write: "Cal You're ignorant" but maybe you are ignorant.
