What a foolish statement. Almost idiotic. China will implode without us buying their crap. Our economy is $30 Trillion & we buy what ? $150 billion from them ? The Trade Battlefield Has Been Prepped – Now We Fight… Posted on August 23, 2019by sundance Within the dynamic of the U.S -vs- China trade confrontation, CTH has long noted the Wall Street (globalist) multinationals would always go bananas. There are trillions at stake and President Trump is confronting three decades of financial influence from Wall Street’s multinational corporate lobbyists. To the angst of Wall Street, POTUS Trump tweets the dynamic. President Trump will not back down from his position; the U.S. holds all of the leverage and the issue must be addressed. President Trump has waited three decades for this moment. Main Street U.S.A has waited for this moment. This President and his team are entirely prepared for this battle…. Now we fight! We are finally confronting the geopolitical Red Dragon, China! President Trump has been brutally consistent for more than three decades on his intent and purpose with the Chinese. President Trump is the first U.S. President to understand how the red dragon hides nefarious motives behind the panda mask. Additionally, while carrying out the objectives of the confrontation, Secretary Mnuchin, Secretary Ross, Ambassador Lighthizer and adviser Peter Navarro are well aware of Beijing’s duplicitous panda mask; POTUS Trump will never let them forget about it. The Eagle and the Arrow – An Aesop’s Fable …An Eagle was soaring through the air. Suddenly it heard the whizz of an Arrow, and felt the dart pierce its breast. Slowly it fluttered down to earth. Its lifeblood pouring out. Looking at the Arrow with which it had been shot, the Eagle realized that the deadly shaft had been feathered with one of its own plumes. Moral: We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction. Some call it ‘Globalism vs Nationalism’, at other times it is best described as “Wall Street -vs- Main Street”; however, the overarching bigger picture is a battle over economics and the international financial power structures that oppose President Trump. CTH has often said ‘everything is about the economics’, because it is. Ask the ‘why’ question five times to any issue and you will find the root issue is money. Power, greed and control, it is all about the money and the economics. Opposition to President Trump’s singularly unique and transformational reset of the global trade system boils down to a battle against the financial ‘Big Club’. Multinationals, billionaires and lobbyists within the DC UniParty system spend hundreds-of-millions in opposition to President Trump’s MAGA agenda. That agenda, that economic agenda, is the existential threat to the Big Club’s grip on power. In the ‘globalist’ multinational, Wall Street dynamic, the Big Club DNC donor base and the Big Club RNC donor base also have mutual self interests. Within this dynamic, President Trump is their unified opposition. Everything is about the economics. The Big Club opposition to President Trump is based on financial best-interest. That opposition is not bound to a political party ideology. It is an ideology based on economics. In essence, this is a structural economic battle that is being waged politically. Decades of financial and monetary policy were intentionally structured to the benefit of the BIG CLUB and the multinational Wall Street alliance represented by U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue. This is not a Republican -vs- Democrat issue; this is a larger confrontation between those who hold financial power and a singular person, President Donald Trump, who is determined to remove that grip. President Trump is fracturing the multinational corporate ‘controlled market’, and his trade policies are beginning to reconstitute supply and demand pricing in a nationalist market. Yes, President Trump, the man and his policy team, is an existential threat to the elitist hierarchy of things well beyond the borders of the DC Swamp. In the era of explaining the complex it’s a planetary economic reset almost too massive and consequential to encapsulate in words. There are massive international corporate and financial interests who are inherently at risk from President Trump’s “America-First” economic and trade platform. Believe it or not, President Trump is up against an entire world economic establishment. He will win. We chose him.

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.

Trump didn't underestimate anything because he is incapable of properly estimating anything outside of women in short skirts. His handlers, his Administration, did all the underestimating, imo. But let us never Underestimate the depths of his Incompetence.
