This is just for the aluminum and steel tariffs.


If Trump hits China harder like he said he would, I'd expect them to hit us back harder. This is why economists were projecting tough times in the Trump era. In a trade war, everyone loses.

As chaotic as Trump's administration has been, he has had a few people try and keep him in check (and Trump's general unease in not knowing how to be a politician has slowed his agenda). Trump thinks he knows what's he doing now, and his cautious advisors are heading out the door, so I fully expect Trump to go full throttle on awful decisions like this with zero forethought on potential repercussions. It's possible we may need to do something to China related to IP theft, but I have no expectation that Trump will go about it the right way. I have a feeling the next 10 months will be brutal for those on the left, with the pace of Trump's executive actions picking up. Dems need to take back the house to do what they can to keep Trump in check as much as possible.
