The "Art of the Deal"

I hate the guy but honestly the Trade war was one of the few things he's done I actually support. My one gripe is how he tried to play it off as though China was going to foot the bill knowing full well farmers were going to suffer for it

You are correct in that farmers are hurt the most due to China not buying as many agricultural goods.

However, to some extent, China is footing the bill.

They have manipulated their currency and have devalued the Yuan 12 times in the last 18 months. This, in turn, keeps the price of Chinese goods coming into the U.S. stable, even with the additional tariffs. The Yuan is now at the lowest level in 11 years. The billions in tariffs collected also helps the U.S. Treasury.

Agreed

the other has been policy since the tarrif war began.

now add to the mix Americas failure in Syria,which exposed just how thin we are stretched,and how Russia,china and many European countries are creating their own trade deals and stepping away from the dollar as the reserve currency...and there is some concerns for the future.

now it could all work out.
and trumps tarrif war could swing our way..
but I have not seen many economist speaking with that kind of confidence.
larry kudlow,but he gets everything wrong..all the time..every time..
but as of right now it is too soon to tell.
china and the US have a very symbiotic relationship,and we had the better end of that deal to be frank..

but let's not going sucking trumps dick just yet.
too soon to make the call.
