Trump declares himself 'your favorite all time president' as new China tariffs take hold by writerknowles
Modesty has never been Donald Trump’s strong suit. On Friday, for instance, the president upgraded his assessment of himself the same day that he hiked tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, a move that is likely to hurt American consumers and farmers, at least in the short run.
For the world’s “greatest” farmers, news of a prolonged trade war is not good news. China’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. soybeans have sent farm bankruptcies soaring and soybean commodities futures plummeting. — Donald J. Trump November 27, 2017 When Trump first made his “favorite President” boast on Twitter, he had only been in office 10 months and already his approval numbers were underwater. Perhaps this explains what might be seen as a tentative impulse of employing parentheses to remind his readers which president he meant.
.@newtgingrich just stated that there has been no president since Abraham Lincoln who has been treated worse or more unfairly by the media than your favorite President, me! At the same time there has been no president who has accomplished more in his first two years in office!
