People are drinking the wingers Kool aid, assuming this trade war he started is about short term pain for long term gain. Economists generally don't agree that that is the likely outcome. Besides the fact that we simply consume more than other countries so are naturally gonna have a trade deficit, other countries finance our fat bloated debt and can dump our treasuries at any time. They can also decide not to accept the dollar as the world's reserve currency. We can't bully countries around like wingers think and that's why stick market has just kept going south since this clown show started.
Trump has no idea,what he's doing as he's surrounded himself with incompetent yes men. He goes back and forth and all around on Tariffs as he gets rolled & manipulated by Putin and makes enemies with our true allies.
