Foreign trade has nothing to do with morals. And it has nothing to do with how we make and keep our freedom.
As I asked in another thread, did Trump ask those folks (corporations, small business and farmers) if they wanted or endorsed this trade war? I have not found any evidence of this. It seems to be a unilateral decision that he made to apply these tariffs. Are these same folks really happy with the results? Again I believe that the majority of them are starting to get pretty pissed off.
Does Trump have good council on how to deal with China in regards to this trade war? Again I say no.
I believe that even if he has reasonable council, he does not listen once his mind is made up.
Are we on the left hoping for a recession? Nope. Not in the least. And any thought that this is being driven my the media is bunk. We are watching him do this in real time with his tweets and comments.
He owns this and his supporters just look silly to try to do the same thing as Trump. Blame anybody else.
Cratic shouldn’t be mean to China. After all, they are anti Trump and an enemy of my enemy…
Besides, Russia tweeted in favor of Trump in the last election and those tweets probably turned enough states to illegitimately make Trump President. Good enough reason to take on the second most powerful nuclear state in the world.
This plays right to Biden’s strength. A recession as the election approaches. His campaign is ‘‘Bring back the Obama team’’. That brings back Mich, Wis, Penn. at least, and some farm states. President Biden!
