there are many reasons why the Rs (at least one faction) do not want a trade war.

That said, A trump presidency will be an issue, and I hear in places like Mexico he is being referred as a new Hitler, also in Germany, and believe or not Israel.

Outside of our borders people are shaking their heads, to put it politely. I mused the other day that governments will be dusting off plans on how to contain the US soon. I think they are already dusting them in fact.

Soon I will be spending ten days in Mexico City, mom is getting a very small surgery, but she is 86. I am looking forward to reading their press on this.
