He was during the meeting, but as usual, he seems to be retreating from that position now that the cameras are gone. He just had a meeting with the NRA tonight, so who knows where he's going to be on the issue tomorrow morning.

I wonder if a narrative could be pushed to make Trump increasingly paranoid of the NRA. I'd love to see handbags between those two.
I wonder how China will react to the new import tax Trump added to steel and aluminum.
If they stop exporting chinese made goods I suspect half the americans will have no clothes to wear :P
EDIT: Plus import tarrif only works if you actually can buy the goods elsewhere, as one of the major supplier of steel and aluminium imposing a higher tarrif would hurt American industry more than it hurt the chinese
The last thing we need it is a trade war now that the economy looks on it is way up.
Wharton? Meh.
They win big by not trading? Yeah I'm sure American companies will be delighted that they can't get cheap raw materials for the products they manufacture and export. American consumers will be delighted at the price spikes.
Republicans are lining up to tell Trump to think again about Tariffs .Which will only make the dotard double down.
They’ll be equally happy when the companies move production overseas if the import tariffs just affect raw materials and not finished products. This is one of those policies that looks good on paper to his base, but in the real world it’s utter shit. Just like everything else he’s come up with really.
Aww he deleted the Alec Baldwin tweet and redid it.
Apparently he just did it because he wanted to do something and it's pretty much the only tarriff he can make happen on his own, without approval from congress (which he would never get).
Well this was ever a possibility. As europeans, we should be worried. Because that means even more production overcapacity in China, which they will certainly try to dump into the European market. That's assuming this is actually happening though, after the Dow's reaction I wouldn't be surprised if he backtracks.
Exactly, Back Track Trump. By the end of his presidency he’ll probably have perfected the moon walk.
I suspect he feels the Mueller Noose is tightening so he does what Trump does, re-direct into a trade war.
My worry is what happens when Muller finally reports his investigation -- Trump will start a real physical war to re-direct.

War with North Korea is going to start between late 2019 to early 2020.
What did it say first?
He spelled it Alex instead of Alec and dieing instead of dying.
Seems it was another thing he picked up on by watching Fox at about 4 in the morning.
I love how his train of thought vacillates from trade wars, which are a serious and damaging issue to Alec Baldwin and SNL in a spur of the moment. Never change Donnie.
Good job they're able to import cheap steel then.
Oh wait he's putting a stop to that. So he's actively trying to destroy the country? Make America Great Again.

He must have read Mao's Great Leap Forward strategy last night. Welcome to the 50s-60s Mr Trump!!

It‘s bad news for domestic (ie european) production but beneficial for industries that use steel. Depending on the relations of the two, which I‘m guessing is going towards the latter, it‘s actually good news?!
A dumping contest on the European market does not have enough benefits to outweigh the massive impact it would have on various steel producing companies. In Germany alone, 85.000 workers are employed in that Business. That's a lot. A lot of European companies, especially car makers, are producing in the US as well, so this means increased production cost for them, even on the European market as they ship a lot of cars produced there back to Europe. I agree that a lot of shifting would take place and lower steel prices will benefit certain companies and sectors, but you have to remember one thing: overall, major disruptions of established networks are always a bad thing. Especially since it is unlikely that the companies benefiting from lower prices for raw material will in any way give out the additional profits gained to the consumer by lowering prices accordingly.
This orange feckface is claiming he passed more laws into legislation in the first year or Presidency than any other President. WRONG! He passed 96 laws and 4 of which were just renaming buildings. Carter and Truman had close to 250 laws passed in their year. Obama had 126.
I can see a lot of economists heads exploding in attempting to read these tweets.
Trump will find some obscure report or economist to quote on why trade wars are good.
No he won't. He'll just go:
"WOW GREAT words from a SMART person, per @FoxAndFriends, "trade wars proven to increase GDP", MUST protect USA from now ON!"
That tone sounds scarily familiar... Is that you Donald?
Can someone that uses Twitter post Baldwins replies to Trump this morning.
Thank you Sir......the first two are comedy classics
So interesting!
Anyone have a copy of the original tweet about Baldwin with all the spelling errors ?
