What was the "desired effect" of tariffs? To slow the Chinese economy? Are republicans so weak they feel the US can't compete with other countries so now it needs government intervention?

Here's another view. American CEOs don't want to work but they want to be paid lots of money so they asked Chinese CEOs to make everything. Chinese CEOs and workers worked their butts off to satisfy US demand and American workers lost jobs and CEOs sat at their desk rolling in money from things someone else made for them.

Then along comes Trump and says don't blame American CEOs. Blame China. Gop voters say, "okay."

There's not a lot of thought process behind any of this. Trumpsters literally thought he could put tariffs (make one move on a chess board) on China and China would resign. They didn't have a clue what to do after China moved its first pawn. Again, their minds are simply too weak to see what the real issues are or what the solution is so they make one bad mistake after another.

Kim, in North Korea sees how weak and dumb Trumpsters are so he shoots off missiles with impunity. The deal maker thought he had a deal with Kim but Kim used the little man to show the world NK was becoming a superpower. The little man had no idea he was being used because all he wants are the headlines.
