@Overpaid I mean the economy has been steadily getting better since the recession ended and that hadn't sped up or slowed really under Trump what immediate effects you talking about?

um

yes it has

employment rates and wages are all up

these fucking cucks

China has a leverage over USA because of Rare Earth elements.

China could surpass the US in the future as far as GDP. But they have a lot more people so per capita people will still be poorer.

GG @Overpaid, you just advanced to level 2!

and cause the debt and exports

My country is kind of boned if China wins the trade war and takes the superpower throne.

i think theres no doubt china will surpass them

they are playing the long game

@chuckayy They're up but they've been going up since the end of the recession, that's my point

And the rate of increase hasn't increased under Trump

@Overpaid what's your country?

Vietnam, currently in the US working though.

Fair

Why is it bad for you if US loses trade war then?

the rates have increased

Our two main trade partners are China and US, so we have a lot to gain or lose from the trade war

being "up since the recession" is besides the point

trump reduced taxes and regulations in general and it had an immediate positive impact on jobs and wages

@chuckayy it hasn't though

Jobs and wages have been going up since the end of the recession

it has

you can say the sky is purple too if you want doesnt make it true

look into it

yes theyve been going up

look up the definition of rate

then look up the rates

I dont have trump fever, but I give credit where it is due. If the Dems really wanted to defeat him in 2020 they would focus on his actual flaws instead of crying about his Twitter feed or something he said 15 years ago

Like most people dont care about social issues. They want economic stability

Actually a better plan for the Dems would be to stop focusing on Trump about everything

So I looked it up

I'd say that's fairly steady decrease since 2010

That's a good thing

I know it is

But my point is trump hasn't increased the rate of decrease since Obama was in office
