Politico reports that Trump's economic team is looking for an "escape hatch" to get out of their trade war with China because of the economic damage it has already done to the U.S. and the economic damage it is predicted to continue to do. Lawrence discusses that damage with Mark Zandi and Jonathan Alter.

Report: Trump Advisers Looking For "Escape" From China Tariffs | The Last Word | MSNBC
LMAO. Trump wants to cave!!!!!
The yield curve doesn’t lie.
@TruthSeeker08 Ok. We will. Thank you!
@TruthSeeker08 USA is thriving stronger than ever and ppl still blaming him. Incredible.
Then why was there not one mention about the economy is the last clown debate the other night? Yea, that’s right. You idiots just keep making it up. Oh, and when are we going to see all the unrefutable proof of corruption from Nadless and Schiff for brains? I can say with absolute certainty that the left has gone completely insane. All because of severe hatred.
The art of the great Deals. Suckers!
It’s not Deals…its Steals
But everyone knows tariffs are good and trade wars are easy to win.
The tarrifs are worjing.
And Mexico will pay for the wall
@Mike Ray 👈 “Working” to destroy the economy comrade ruskie. Your English is not so good
Mike Ray working to increase the 1 trillion in yearly debt!
China waited for 3000 years, they can easily out-wait Trump.
@Skyprince27 ” do I look fat in this ceremonial dress”
Sun Tzu
Waiting for what? The oppression of its own people? Or theft of industrial secrets?
@teledine They have three trillion in the clear to burn through first . So might as well add three trillion to out debt.
haha stupid left haha, don’t feed the dragon, haha slay the dragon haha
@Blake still in the game Say what haha “Derp derp” haha
China will wait out this crazy guy. Who wouldn’t? There will be no deal till this dumb president has gone. It’s now that China will say “Screw you Mr Trump, you hanging in the wind”.
Yea how can they deal and trust someone so unstable
@stoeger 2 it’s to pwn the liberals
i’m glad China won’t be making any more of those
MAGAT. dunce hats any more!!
Haruhi Suzumiya : You’re right about the Rust Belt. What was that last comment, to stoeger 2 about? I didn’t follow?
高东锋 : The politics in all Democracies is about money. People ALWAYS vote with their wallets. They may get it wrong. But, they always go with the person that they, “think,” will keep the money coming in. Now they KNOW that guy is NOT Trump. All he needs now, is an opponent who can convince the people that they’re better with money than Trump. That won’t be hard
You’re running out of time AMERICA!!!
Alex Jay
So easy to manipulate stats or wait it’s called alt-facts. This market is for the 1% buying back their own stocks, get with the program it’s called a, (forget it never mind waste of my time.)
@cherrocco berry plz enlighten me. I’m in finance so this ‘buyback’ concept you speak of intrigues me…..
@cherrocco berry…. so this 1% stock repurchasing ultimately brought the markets to the current predicament …??? Please continue… you have me flabbergasted
Would you say that the trump team is ” Russian” for an escape hatch?
@James Madison Хороший тролль, товарищ, теперь вы можете вернуться в Россию и сосать путинский пенис.
@V Mich McConnell is not influenced by Russians. Obama and Clinton were very chummy with Putin. Why don’t you hate them?
Clearly trumps Stalin
@James Madison the right have no leaders false hope drive people to become marxist Leninists
If we want all this to end, it will require ACTION on our part.
We all need to Get out and vote in 2020
@Rene’ Placek Are you insane? We have the lowest unemployment rates for black folk, asians & latinos in U.S. history. More Americans are working in U.S. history. The strongest & largest economy in the world. Set the crack pipe down & stop watching fake news.
Ralph Boyd No, just a too obvious troll.
Itchieban1 perhaps if each state only gets one electoral vote, then you’d need a majority of states to win. Plus, why does Iowa get all of the fuss and financial benefit of the caucuses?
@Bull Sh I will pray for you Good Bless you and President Trump .
@Rene’ Placek in real life, not in online forums…
With all of this instability and on again off again tariffs it must be hard to do business. How do you plan ahead? Layoff personnel now ahead of a recession? Overstock now because it might not be available later. For the first time in my life I feel sorry for business owners and, of course, their employees.
Layoff some employees if you are running a medium sized industry.
Trade war is easy to win. Are you tired of winning yet?
David such sarcasm—funny!
jim harmon The only ppl talking about Socialism are Trump cultists
Notice it wasn’t a talking point until Trump needed a new Boogeyman
Now all the cultists obediently screech about Socialism
Watch; as soon as there is a Dem candidate, no matter who it is, Republicans will immediately start screeching that whoever the candidate is, they are the Most Liberal Socialist EVER
And idiots like Dork Lard will go to his basement “command center” and obediently start posting it
David “Best President”?!?
Whatever
I bet you also believe that President Obama was born in Kenya too, cause there’s no Trump lie too stupid for a Trump cultist to swallow
You can go back to waiting for the check from Mexico to pay for the wall now – oh, wait, that was a lie too
You know, a mind is a terrible thing to waste, but you can’t waste what you don’t have
@Ralph Boyd If that even half way happens, This country is screwed. Capitalism built this country!
Trump screwed up, as always.
which major bankruptcy would this become then? Number 7?
The Good News? Karma is working. Some vile Trump voters are on the frontline of pain and will suffer the most economically!!
Karma? You might be correct . . . but then what did the entire nation do to deserve this bone spur in the driver seat?
Turn bedroom that Trump is giving them a lot of our money
@ASeasonedWitch they gave us Hillary as a choice. I absolutely hate “it’s your turn” politics
yeah but it’s to bad they’re not smart enough to know that.
Donald Trump is not competent. I find it scary that we will be in a recession because of someone’s ego.
Trump has NOTHING or will to do with recession. Banksters backed by rich democrats and republican NEOCONS do.
Neocons hate Trump, democrats HATE trump. Why?
Are you insane? We are not in recession or anywhere near one_of course a recession will someday occur_big deal recessions are a normal economic occurrence. What you should be afraid of is your ignorance of economic cycles & what causes them.
Jennifer Doofus don’t fret over imaginary problems, worry about your biggest problem_yourself.
@David Stolze lowest unemployment in history for black folk, asians & latinos. Record number of Americans working. Historic low unemployment for women. Record highs in stock market. Largest and strongest economy in the world. Strongest military in the history of the world. Seems competent to me.
Republicans always run the economy into the ditch.
@Salty Methods Obama returned Iranian money stolen from the Iranians by a previous US administration.
He didn’t *GIVE* Iran anything that wasn’t the property of Iran in the first place.
Are you kidding me. Look around economy is better than ever. LEFTYS are not just stupid. Their blind
@James Edgil An economy with an inverted yield curve is far from healthy. An economy that can be precipitated into massive one-day stock exchange losses on the basis of a Presidential tweet is far from healthy. An economy that has to spend billions in taxpayer-funded subsidies to farmers is far from healthy.
Now resort to the usual excuse of “Fake News” and see how impressed your orange Fuhrer will be.
Salty Methods it was so Valerie Jarret would eat out Michelle !
Are you kidding me? The last five or so Major recessions including 1929 were under Democrat Presidents
The ‘leaders’ are afraid that the low-life, fat con will “lose his temper”…good Lord.
Daniel Parks Everybody knows he’s a raging, grandiose, Narcissist. He called himself the King of the Jews, second coming of Christ or whatever. There is obviously something wrong with him. Trying to bully people into perpetuating his lies, ie Sharpie Gate! Sorry, Revisionist History is unacceptable. He is off his rocker
LMAO 😂 😂
arxsyn
Way Off 😂😂😂 like 10yrs. Wonder why he prefers a crooked Doctor tht allows him to write his own .😂..his own😂 lol I’m done!
This is madness
Please get this guy out of office. It’s obvious he isn’t even listening to his advisors
I could see China and Russia rigging the election again to make Trump president because they know he is incompetent and that would be good for them .
If you vote for Trump again in 2020 China will loose the trade war because they’ll be too busy laughing.
Very true.
P.S. before any of you vote, I suggest you all picture Trump naked, with that super-tiny weener….
Drumph and melanoma haven’t seen it for years.
Dana Kaboom
😯 N😮😮😮😮😮😮!
🤢
DONT GO THERE, lol 🤡
Long side hair hanging down, belly over his weenie, orange “tan” lines, NOT a pretty sight!
What did they expect when you put a 6 time bankrupt in charge of your finance, worse businessman on the planet its like giving a murderer a gun
or a street hustler a presidency..
