"A currency war would do little to boost US growth prospects. It is much harder for the US to push down the value of the dollar, ironically because of the currency’s dominant presence in global financial markets. It would be difficult to engage in unilateral intervention on a scale sufficiently large materially to affect the dollar’s value against other major currencies — especially if the Federal Reserve stayed on the sidelines in such an endeavour. Besides, such a move would incite a broader currency war, with other countries stepping up their own retaliatory intervention. The resulting turmoil in financial markets could actually firm up the dollar’s value if investors turn to it for safety.

So, for the US, a currency war could have the paradoxical effect of strengthening its currency, which remains the ultimate safe haven for investors in times of heightened uncertainty. Moreover, for Mr Trump to bully the Fed into participating directly in a currency war could have longer-lasting consequences for the credibility of the central bank. "

Trump thought the trade war against China is very easy. What an idiot.
