If Donald Trump were not to be A PROPER MAD ANIMAL, would he have extended his SENSELESS TARRIFF WARS to Africa..???? Has Africa ever engaged in any Trade War with the West..???? Do they not dictate the kind of goods and materials that they want to have on their markets over the years..???? And, do they not even price all those goods and materials themselves..???? Are we Africans the ones who have created those WEAPONIZED TRADE BLOCS that have been used to suffocate Africa over the many centuries..???? Donald Trump is simply A MAD MEGALOMANIAC..???? He's A COMPLETE LUNATIC..!!!!! And I can assure him that his nation America would be THE EVENTUAL LOSERS, because there's certainly no way he can vanquish the rest of the world if they strategize and confront the senseless, aggressive & unilateral effusions that Donald Trump (THE SUBTLE & STUPID WHITE SUPREMACIST) is throwing up!

I WISH GHANA'S CHEAP USELESS LEADERS HAD TRUMP:S COMMON SENSE MISSION STATEMENT - "AMERICA FIRST", PERIOD.

GHANA IS A SELLOUT, AND TRUMP DOES NOT WANT AMERICA TO BE LIKE HOPELESS GHANA WHOSE ECONOMY IS CONTROLLED BY THE IMF COUNTRY OFFICE IN GHANA AND OTHER FOREIGN BUSINESSES LIKE TULLOW.

GHANA'S MINERAL RESOURCES (GOLD, DIAMONDS, BAUXITE, LITHIUM, CRUDE OIL, ETC) ARE THE PROPERTIES OF FOREIGNERS, WHILE GHANA ONLY COLLECT CHICKEN CHANGE TAXES BECAUSE GHANA DOES NOT OWN MAJORITY OR CONTROLLING STAKES OR SHARES IN ANY OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.

GHANA'S USELESS LEADERS HAVE ALREADY POCKETED THEIR 3%-5% KICKBACKS, THANKS TO CORRUPT KUFUOR AND AKUFO-ADDO. THE REST OF GHANAIANS CAN GO TO HELL AND WALLOW IN PERPETUAL DEBTS AND POVERTY. THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN AS LONG AS THEY AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE ALREADY SCOOPED THEIR SHARE. THE REST OF GHANA CAN BURN. WHO CARES?

THAT'S GHANA LEADERSHIP FOR YOU.

Very little goods & materials come from America to our country Ghana now! America has become terribly expensive, and they have lost to the big Asian nations for a couple of decades now. The comforting prediction is that, America will continue to lose further! With that open, tactless and aggressive tariff wars that "gyimifuor-yarefuor" Donald Trump is waging now, the rest of the world has been put on notice to see why it is very urgent to confront America NOW..!!!!!

What's your beef with reciprocal tariffs? America is saying if you tax me 10% I will also tax you same. If you allow 0% tariff then you won't be taxed bringing your stuff to America. Manufacturing is expensive in those countries with so much regulations and expensive labour costs.. That's their only problem and they see manufacturing as old stuff so they prefer high tech and the service industries.

These Chinese are taking advantage of our leadership flaws. They bring in junk goods and ship out the dollars which create the cedi depreciation. The way forward is let them set up the factories here in Ghana. This will create jobs and also stabilize the currency. Secondly Ghana should set a standard not just accepting any substandard goods.

His model is what the mafia thugs use in their dealings. If you kill 5 of my boys i will retaliate and kill 10 of yours. That is how it works with the mafia.

What his advisors and "Yes sir massa" experts refuse to tell the naked emperor is that "Sir, these cars imported into the US is produced not only in Mexico but has parts from over 20 countries. The seats are produced in turkey, the chassis from Vietnam, the engine block from Japan, the headlights from cambodia, the tailights from India, the dashboard from Romania, the oil pump system from South Africa the caburretor from a company in Penndylvania. What Mexico does is only to Assemble all these parts. So thinking you imposing tariffs on Mexican cars is like a goat scrubbing its arse on the wall thinking its ruining the wall but rather ruining its own arse.

If even the assembling company decides to relocate to the US, they will still have to import the other 20 parts from the other countries because the US does not have the cheap industries and low wage skills to manufacture car seats so those seats will still have to be imported from turkey. Unless if making America Great again means driving cars without seats because seats in cars are produced by pesky cat and dog eating foreigners and will drive our cars without seats to make America Great Again. American doctors will have to develop special creams for hard skinned buttock seatless drivers!

You tax your poor people to finance billionaires. Any coubtry whete a person can become a billionaire on less than 10yrs whilst at the same time your poor people increases by 200% has got serious problems.

Those poor people has no choice but to buy cheap stuff from China with their welfare checks. And then you turn around to blame immigrants for the poverty in your society.

Immigrants in the US pay more taxes than the average American. and less likely to commit crimes. Blame your own foolish policies whivh has impoverished your society.

The European Union in the last 20-30yrs has brought huge populations like Portugal, Spain and the Eastern Europen countries from poverty to success and highrr standards of living. Because the EU is can equitable society where the poor is not screwed for few people to become billionaires who horde money at the expense of the poor.

This stupid American behavior is cropping into Ghana. How many newspaper pages is not devoted to Kwsme Despite, Ibrahim Mahama or now the now kid on the block Nii Richard something. Where did they get their money. Overinflated contracts with politicisns steaing from the poor. This is what is turned America what it is now.

Go to Europe and count me the number of poor people who sleep under bridges or people without healthcare. It doesnt exist.

A nation that takrs care of its poor, vulnerable and weak is a great nation.

Make America Great Again by first making an introspection of itself looking at its social, economic policies which impoverishes its poor and stop blaming other countries for your self imposed predicament which uou foolishly think tariffs are the solution. Its only a spiral race to the bottom!!
