Nor with the Chinese so far. He's talked a big game but so far it's just been talk. And, really, that's a good thing. Because if he actually starts trying to act like he said he'd act like with respect to the Chinese during the campaign we'd all be screwed.houndawg wrote:He doesn't have a very good track record for getting tough with his bankers.JohnStOnge wrote:
I said during the campaign I think that if Trump did what he said he was going to do with protectionism it'll be a disaster. Especially with respect to China. The US population has become accustomed to getting a lot things at reasonable prices. When tariff's are imposed the US consumer pays them. I don't think the US wants a trade war with China. I think the US would lose that war. And Chinese leadership knows Trump is a buffoon. He's out of his league trying to deal with them.
Except for the solar panels and washing machines thing. We'll see what happens with that. That was his toe in the water.
