'We ALWAYS win!' Trump boasts that he'll prevail over Xi in 'little squabble' as he threatens even more tariffs and tells Americans to buy products 'from someplace else other than China'

Donald Trump predicted Tuesday that the U.S. will notch a trade victory in what he described as 'a little squabble with China.'

Speaking to reporters as he left the White House, the president grinned as he asked: 'You want to know something? You want to know something? We always win.'

And Trump warned that he might stack even more tariffs on a growing pile of anti-China duties in order to put additional pressure on Beijing.

'We're looking at it very strongly,' Trump said.

I look at it this way. In a trade war with China we lose children's toys loaded with lead, cadmium and Mercury, toxic drywall, and laminate flooring that spews formaldehyde. China loses food, medicine and the ability to continue stealing trade secrets. Tariff away President Trump.

Who gives a damn how YOU look at it. The facts are the facts. Consumers pay for the tariffs. Tax payers pay for the industry bail outs. All because sime clown with no real grasp of the issues chooses to spout off with his mouth on the global stage.

5:48, You're not real bright are you? How long do you think we should let communist China undercut our economy? Maybe when we have completely lost our ability to manufacture you'll be happy.

You do not win a trade war on Twitter . Respect of the culture of China who is not the boastful style. Trump cannot beat the Chinese who have a leader for life . They will simple wait Trump out. Trump has an election, Xi does not

I am not a Trump supporter at all . He is correct on China but his approach will lose. He has identified the problem but will not solve it in the manner in which he is proceeding

This is spot on. Its a long game and they have enough money to wait him out even if he serves a second term.
