You're fighting the wrong guy. I have said all along I think tariffs are a bad idea, and a trade war is a disaster, for both sides.
What you seem to have missed is that there is another possibility, negotiation. Trump has been saying that our politicians are horrible negotiators and that no one has been fighting for a good deal for our side. The Chinese do not play fair and Trump is calling them on it. The only way to get the Chinese to move is to threaten them with disaster. Trump is playing a dangerous dame no doubt but he's already proven that he's much better at this stuff than any recent Presidents.
Being dangerous doesn't make you a better negotiator.
The godless Trump can't negotiate his was out of a paper bag. He's really, really bad at it.
Trump now wants a DACA deal for a $25B wall. Several weeks ago he was given that deal and refused to sign it. Disco Gary cheered wildly when Trump did that.
