Farmer calls out Trump: Why aren't more people outraged?

Amid President Trump's escalating trade war with China, farmers are bracing for the impact that new tariff hikes will have on products grown and produced in the United States.

Who will pay the for this Trade War with China, "WE WILL."

I'm sure you'll applaud when China exceeds the U.S.A.

I see that you have no comment that applies to my statement of: "Who will pay the for this Trade War with China, "WE WILL." that means that we will be paying a 25% higher tax on things made from China, Thanks Trump.

Quick Question Steve: To what country is buying U.S. debt right now, today?

Steve!!! To what country is buying U.S. debt right now, today?

China will pay for this trade war Ron. Or do you want China to catch up with us?

I asked you a question Steve. To what country is buying U.S. debt right now, today?

What is "buying debt" Ron?

NO!!! Steve, not what but "WHO"!!!! To what country is buying U.S. debt right now, today?

What does it mean "buying debt" Ron? I've never bought debt and have no idea what you're talking about.

Have you ever heard from US Treasury Saving bonds, municipal bonds and corporate bonds, accounts receivables, real estate, and mortgages?

I hope that I am NOT talking over your head, Steve.

I've heard of those things Ron, but I only have experience with real estate. I borrowed money to buy a house and I went into debt but I didn't buy debt, at least not that I'm aware of.

I never asked you about your business, that don't come before me, unless I asked you for that information. I see that I may be talking over your head and you have no clue to this answer: what country is buying U.S. debt right now, today?

Will let me give you this run down, so you won't be ignorant to these FACTS.

US sovereign debt is one of the safest assets in finance in the world today.

But that safety was called into question this month by US presidential candidate Donald Trump, who suggested that the US could negotiate with creditors and wouldn't need to pay the whole $13 trillion back.

Why would he think that if you borrow money, that you don't have to pay it back? You pay your debt, don't you Steve?

The US Treasury, for the first time since the 1970s, has published more detailed data on who owns that debt, giving a breakdown of Saudi Arabia's holding.

The report gave details on specific countries that were previously lumped together in groups such as "oil exporting nations" and "Caribbean banking centers," according to the Associated Press.

Here are those countries who bought our nations debt Steve.

17. South Korea — $84.1 billion

16. Russia — $86 billion

15. Germany — $90.1 billion

14. Singapore — $112.7 billion

13. Saudi Arabia — $116.8 billion

12. India — $118.9 billion

11. Belgium — $153.8 billion

10. Taiwan — $182.3 billion

9. Hong Kong — $200.3 billion

8. Luxembourg — $221.3 billion

7. United Kingdom — $227.6 billion

6. Switzerland — $230 billion

5. Brazil — $246.4 billion

4. Ireland — $264.3 billion

3. Cayman Islands — $265 billion

2. Japan — $1.137 trillion

1. Mainland China — $1.244 trillion

Between Mainland China who bought $1.244 trillion of our debt and Hong Kong China who bought — $200.3 billion of our debt, what do you thing what will happen to the U.S. economy if they cashed in their bond holdings?

So Ron, you are already a slave to China. You've already put up the white flag and surrendered to China. I guess that makes you proud to be an American. Not me.

Let us get back to the question at hand Steve. "Between Mainland China who bought $1.244 trillion of our debt and Hong Kong China who bought — $200.3 billion of our debt, what do you thing what will happen to the U.S. economy if they cashed in their bond holdings?"

What would happen to China if they cashed in their bond holdings Ron?

I don't care about China's economy Steve, that was not my question that I asked you.

What do you thing will happen to the U.S. economy if the Chinese cashed in their bond holdings?"
