Explanation of the map: The map tracks the geographical impact of both current and threatened retaliation. The darker a county, the higher the concentration of affected industries there.But I thought the trade war was going to being back jobs from overseas?
LOL
No, I shouldn’t laugh. Trump’s temper tantrums are going to cost us all and far more than jobs. In fact, the cost is already here.
