..There will be nobody left in China to do business with. Very bad for China, very good for USA! But China has taken so advantage of the U.S. for so many years, that they are way ahead (Our Presidents did not do the job). Therefore, China should not retaliate-will only get worse!

As much as everyone wants everything they buy to be made in this country (things like Trump ties, Ivanka handbags, etc. hint, hint), the factories are gone and they can't be rebuilt overnight. We'll still be buying stuff from China because that's where it's made. The only difference is that it will cost more.

(12,448 posts)7. Yeah, we can see how China listens to Trump
In reality, nobody should listen to him on anything touching economics. He's an ignoramus on the subject. (And most other subjects)
