The Trump apologists will find some way to justify trade protectionism. They did it while he was a candidate and they'll do it now.

Prices of goods that have aluminum or steel as a major raw material component will go up.

I think I'll side with the Dept of Commerce and US Steel/Aluminum industries over VN's "experts".

My guess is it won’t last long, and this is a way to get China’s attention.

You didn't lose anything unless you sold. But it sounds likely that you're missing a pretty damn good buying opportunity because you're in the corner pouting like a child.

It’s pot stirring. The underlying metrics are still strong. And why is a service economy pissing its pants about commodity tariffs?

They will jump on any metric that they perceive to be helping their point. Pretty hilarious when it doesn't.

She sounds hideous.
