Current Events » in reply to Trump winning the trade war

You won't get me into an argument on international trade, because that's a subject I know nothing about.

But before you gloat, remember Trump is also playing naval warfare and Korean tagteam diplomacy with the Chinese. Those games are all interlinked and have not played out yet.
I'm not convinced your man, or his posse of goombah economic advisers, is capable of playing three games of chess at the same time.

You may be right, although the article only seems to barely mention Trump's tariffs. But remember, it IS a bit premature to celebrate, and nobody ever really wins a trade war, especially when the combatants are comparable in size.

One thing you can be sure of: no matter how Trump's trade war with China turns out, Trump will declare victory and his followers will all believe him. Any obvious and undeniable adverse economic effects will be blamed on Obama and Hillary, or denounced as fake news from the failing Wall Street Journal. 8)
