I am not a fan of any politician and never have been. I am an Anarchist, but I dislike the manipulation by the media just as bad. All of them spin their information to promote an agenda.

I recycle all metals and electronics for a living. It used to be a booming industry, but a few years back, China stopped buying our steel and stopped accepting the dollar as payment for many goods, which they sell around the world.

This put the industry into a huge slump. When I started recycling, I was selling steel for around $240 a tonne. The last few years it has been hovering around $145 a tonne with dips as low as $45 a tonne.

As soon as Trump announced the tariffs on China, the price jumped from $160 a tonne to $180 and is now up to $195 a tonne.

This is what companies are buying steel to recycle for. The lower the price, the less steel that gets recycled and rusts into the environment, rather than melted down and reused.

So, not only is Trump's decision good for the Steel Industry, it's good for the environment. None of this gets explained or even mentioned to the population.
, which is as bad as lying.

Just my two cents

Yeah, for the most part I don't believe what the media says. If money is involved in the equation, which in most cases it is, the general public will not be getting the truth.
