So the Madman seems intent on starting at the very least a trade war with China

If not a real war.

All this on Twitter and all this even before he's sworn in.

The President-elect is smack-talking foreign countries on Twitter.

God help us.

He'll get an invite to hold a rally in Dallas and they'll send a convertible to pick him up at the airport.

and he is walking right into a trap. China holds the plans for every product made in China by foreign companies. For example, a skeleton staff of Americans are there for American company's products - and they are there to pay the fees to keep the plants running. If they are kicked out, the contractors will have no problem continuing the production. How long will the US last if there is an embargo on all things made in China? Not long.
What a fool he is.
