  1. Mr. Trump would be an excellent HR Executive, he is uniting the world at the expense of the USA. Trade wars doesn't work, it's never worked and will never work. Everyone will suffer, much more the great USA. Why are people not sitting around the table negotiating, last I checked we all need each other. I'm no prophet, but he is gambling with the dollar… there is two outcomes, by some miracle his plan works or this is the end of the age of the dollar.

  2. Trump is very clever he wants afdected counntries to appproach the US for re-negitiations. And coutries must not approach this with emotions but with sober trade negotiations minds.

  3. This racists are all here gloryfying what that Dumb Trump does to his fellow poor Americans who will pay more for goods they've always get cheaper. Tarriffs is tax that the consumer will have to pay duh. And for a record The same Trump has ran most of his business down because of similar poor business decision makings. And yall think other countries won't respond to this madness stupid decisions. Sometimes commenting with less knowledge is the most stupid thing ever. There's nothing South Africa or any country would have done it's a an attack to Brics countries but worst he is doing it to his allies and fellow poor Americans that will pay more on taxes. You know why because there are more cheaper electric cars from other countries and Elon business of Tesla is at risk. Billionaires protecting each other by any means necessary and at the expense of the poor.

  4. Come on… Quick question, whose going to take care of the dictators now since the self proclaimed world police for freedom has one. And they said Leader Kim Jong In was terrible, I mean Libya dictator just wanted one Africa, one currency and one people
