This Trump guy is not fit for purpose. He speaks from both sides of the mouth. It is a shame regarding how this guy got so far to been president of the Unites States of America. He will certainly press the self-destruct button the way he is going.

    US is holding a trade surplus against Singapore - ie. US is exporting more to Singapore than Singapore is exporting to US. Cannot see the reason why Trump is targeting Singapore.

      In the past, the Russian built an iron curtain and the Chinese built a bamboo curtain. Both countries had to tear down their curtains and opened up to international trades. Their economies progressed dramatically as a result of their opening up. Now USA is going to build a concrete wall. The outcome is obvious. Good luck to USA.

        The problem is, Trump is unable to learn from history lessons - such as the previous Russia and China isolationist policies that cause economic sufferings to their people - and open up to prosper. Trump is also unable to understand the 1930s US own lesson of protectionism on trade - that trigger the World War 2.

          And at that time to come out from the 1930s Deep Depression, many Countries ram up their defense spendings and started WW2. This is exactly what Trump is doing now - like in the 1930s.

            Trump must understand that if Trump start a trade war by imposing import taxes, other Countries will retaliate on US import and impose similar import taxes. At the end of the day, those who suffer are US businesses and consumers - as well as Countries in which US levies its import taxes on. This is what happen in 1930s - where US start to do this and start a trade war - where other Countries also retaliate - and end up 1930s Deep Depression sets in and Worldwide unemployment sky-rocketed and business fail worldwide. All these trigger World War 2. Now Trump want to start this.

              "The decline in the U.S. economy was the factor that pulled down most other countries at first; then, internal weaknesses or strengths in each country made conditions worse or better. Frantic attempts to shore up the economies of individual nations through protectionist policies, such as the 1930 U.S. Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act and retaliatory tariffs in other countries, exacerbated the collapse in global trade.[17] By late 1930, a steady decline in the world economy had set in, which did not reach bottom until 1933."

                World War II and recovery 
              • The common view among economic historians is that the Great Depression ended with the advent of World War II. Many economists believe that government spending on the war caused or at least accelerated recovery from the Great Depression, though some consider that it did not play a very large role in the recovery. It did help in reducing unemployment.[11][90][91][92] The rearmament policies leading up to World War II helped stimulate the economies of Europe in 1937–39. By 1937, unemployment in Britain had fallen to 1.5 million. The mobilization of manpower following the outbreak of war in 1939 ended unemployment.[93] When the United States entered into the war in 1941, it finally eliminated the last effects from the Great Depression and brought the U.S. unemployment rate down below 10%.[94] In the U.S., massive war spending doubled economic growth rates, either masking the effects of the Depression or essentially ending the Depression. Businessmen ignored the mounting national debt and heavy new taxes, redoubling their efforts for greater output to take advantage of generous government contracts.[cit

                  Europe[edit] 
                • Europe as a whole was badly hit, in both rural and industrial areas. Democracy was discredited and the left often tried a coalition arrangement between Communists and Socialists, who previously had been harsh enemies. Right wing movements sprang up, often following Italy's fascist mode.[24] As the Great Depression worsened, Labour lost power in Britain and a coalition government dominated by conservatives came to power in 1931, and remained in power until 1945. There were no programs in Britain comparable to the New Deal. In France, the "Popular Front" government of Socialists with some Communist support, was in power 1936–1938. It launched major programs favoring labor and the working class, but engendered stiff opposition. Germany during the Weimar Republic had fully recovered and was prosperous in the late 1920s. The Great Depression hit in 1929 and was severe. The political system descended into violence and the Nazis under Hitler came to power through elections in early 1933. Economic recovery was pursued through autarky, pressure on economic partners, wage controls, price controls, and spending programs such as public works and, especially, military spending. Spain saw mounting political crises that led in 1936–39 to civil war. In Benito Mussolini's Italy, the economic controls of his corporate state were tightened. The economy was never prosperous. The Soviet Union was mostly isolated from the world trading system during the 1930s. To force peasants into industrial jobs in the cities, food was stripped from rural areas, and millions died of starvation. The dictator Joseph Stalin purged nearly all the old Bolsheviks, and killed or imprisoned hundreds of thousands of presumed enemies. Canada and the Caribbean[edit] In Canada, Between 1929 and 1939, the gross national product dropped 40%, compared to 37% in the U.S. Unemployment reached 28% at the depth of the Depression in 1929 and 1930,[25] while wages bottomed out in 1933.[26] Many businesses closed, as corporate profits of C$396 million in 1929 turned into losses of $98 million in 1933. Exports shrank by 50% from 1929 to 1933. Worst hit were areas dependent on primary industries such as farming, mining and logging, as prices fell and there were few alternative jobs. Families saw most or all of their assets disappear and their debts became heavier as prices fell. Local and provincial government set up relief programs but there was no nationwide New-Deal-like program. The Conservative government of Prime Minister R. B. Bennettretaliated against the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act by raising tariffs against the U.S. but lowered them on British Empire goods. Nevertheless, the economy suffered. In 1935, Bennett proposed a series of programs that resembled the New Deal; but was defeated in the elections of that year and no such programs were passed.[27] Cuba and the Caribbean saw its greatest unemployment during the 1930s because of a decline in exports to the U.S., and a fall in export prices. Asia[edit] China was at war with Japan during most of the 1930s, in addition to internal struggles between Chiang Kai-shek's nationalists andMao Zedong's communists. Japan's economy expanded at the rate of 5% of GDP per year after the years of modernization. Manufacturing and mining came to account for more than 30% of GDP, more than twice the value for the agricultural sector. Most industrial growth, however, was geared toward expanding the nation's military power. Beginning in 1937 much of Japan's energy was focused on a large-scale war and occupation of China. Australia and New Zealand[edit] In Australia, 1930s conservative and Labor-led governments concentrated on cutting spending and reducing the national debt. In New Zealand, a series of economic and social policies similar to the New Deal were adopted after the election of the first Labour Government in 1935.[28]

                    An exact of scenarios in 1930s that lead to World War 2 ---- is unfolding now :- 
                  • (1) Trump want to impose import taxes on other Countries and restrict trade with the World by canceling and revising trade deals. 
                  • (2) Trump adopt protectionist and isolationist economic measures. 
                  • (3) Trump inviting trade retaliation. 
                  • (4) Trump ramping up defense spendings - lead other to ramp up defense spendings as well. 
                  • (5) Trump ideologies has trigger domino effect in Europe. 

                  • Compare the scenarios now vis-a-vis 1930s Deep Depression trigger by US that lead to World War 2. See the stark similarities?

                    Trump must understand a simple fact. 
                  • The moment you start to punish others with trade tariffs, others will retaliate. 
                  • When this happen, the World Economy including US will be drag down in one big sweep. 
                  • And to recover, the World will have to start a World War to recover from the World Economic crisis. 
                  • The World will thus end --- in World War 3 ! 

                  • This is a warning from the Divinity !!!

                          Just like Hitler :- 
                        • "Psychopathography of Adolf Hitler is an umbrella term for psychiatric (pathographic, psychobiographic) literature that deals with the hypothesis that the German Führer and Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) suffered from a mental illness.
                        • " Both during his lifetime and after his death, Hitler has often been associated with mental disorders such as hysteria, megalomania or paranoid schizophrenia. 
                        • Psychiatrists and psychoanalysts who have diagnosed Hitler as having mental disturbance include well-known figures such as Walter C. Langer and Erich Fromm.

                            • US tariffs would kill NAFTA talks: Mexico

                              AFP News
                              Mexican Economy Secretary Ildefonso Guajardo says he will walk away from NAFTA talks if US imposes tariffs on Mexican-made goods
                              Mexico will walk away from talks on revamping the North American Free Trade Agreement if US President Donald Trump slaps tariffs on Mexican-made goods, the economy minister says.
                              "The moment that they say, 'We're going to put a 20 percent tariff on cars,' I get up from the table," said Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo.
                              "Bye-bye," he added in an interview with Bloomberg News published Monday.
                              The comments ratchet up Mexico's threats to boycott a renegotiation of its 1994 trade deal with the United States and Canada if Trump insists on hardline changes.
                              Trump has repeatedly trashed NAFTA as part of a tough stance on trade that has included threats to slap tariffs on imports from Mexico.
                              He has also floated tariffs as a way to pay for his plan to build a wall on the Mexican border, which he argues is needed to stop undocumented immigrants and drug trafficking.
                              Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said Friday that Mexico will retaliate in kind if Trump slaps tariffs on goods made south of the border.
                              Bilateral trade between Mexico and the United States amounts to half a trillion dollars a year, and some 80 percent of Mexican exports go to the United States.
                              But Trump has said America's $60 billion trade deficit with Mexico proves NAFTA was a bad deal.
