Trade wars are good and easy to win.
Our current trade war is neither good or easy. In wars there are victims on both sides. Trade wars are no different. Consumers, producers, businesses and traders are the first victims. Higher prices for consumer goods, lower prices on our agricultural production, fewer jobs, lowers consumption, lower confidence and higher levels of uncertainty and anxiety.
Free market? Trade war is not free market.
Recession has become almost inevitable, Stock prices are not the only economic indicator. It will be ironic when a re-election is lost because of another broken promise.
