    Who wants to bet that the idea of retaliatory tariffs wasn’t gamed out beforehand and they have no strategy?

    It seems like if you want a trade war with China, you’d want partners to help you apply pressure and replace Chinese goods you can’t do without. Maybe somewhere like Vietnam for cheap labor; Canada for rare-earth minerals; and the EU to buy expensive American goods and services. Oh no.

      The dumbest president in existence has no strategy and is operating on blind ego impulse? Shocking!
