This would crush the US StockMarket. Plunging the Trump Administration into mass chaos. Then, the Chinese could stop buying US debt for a few months. No MAGA after that.. 😎 He's a Republican & Fighting Socialism! He's Perfect! Unfortunately he is the wrong person for president

Very true. It is not about no tariffs but to be strategic and timely. Trump is off these two principles by miles. Good faith was given to China reform and the hope is fading. Appearances point to continued escalation. We may in fact see a currency manipulator designation by USTreasury as soon as China's eventually counter-acts with currency policy. ooo.. itu tho akibatnya
