The only “winners” of a trade war are Trump’s rich buddies who exchange political favors for protection from tariffs that you end up having to pay.

BREAKING: The economy added 227,000 jobs in November! Trump & Republicans love to rewrite history. Here are the facts: Trump was the 1st President since WWII to leave office with fewer jobs than when his admin started. His disastrous policies will hurt our economy once again.
