    The trade war appears to be about market manipulation. And sewing distrust of America. By repeatedly flip flopping they can buy and sell and make a killing in the markets. His wealthy allies are in on it and won’t care at all.

    This is what he was elected to do and it won’t hurt him at all with the people who matter.

      It’s about dividing the West so the oligarchs, all the oligarchs everywhere, can take control.

      Stupid oligarchs, China knows no such rules.

        That’s what I intended with sewing distrust. It certainly looks like market manipulation to me as well though.
