Hundreds of years of data would suggest that both sides are going to suffer from this trade war. But keep going on with your crude metaphors...

This liar-in-chief is just playing an elaborate reality TV show on the country. China is the largest economy in the world. They are not gonna be bullied into submission. It is smarter to create our own internal trade zone as big as China, something like TPP, and then wean away from China.

Wrong. China is the second largest economy behind us.

Yea, I have to use a crude metaphor because the liberals seem so focused on wishing ill on Trump's efforts that they forget whose side they are on. Trump is doing this because China is cheating/stealing from the US, that's all of us, every man, woman, and child, immigrant or citizen. Every one of us.

If Trump is successful in getting China to trade more fairly, then both the US and China stands to benefit greatly in the future. Hundreds of years of history shows that sometimes a war is necessary.

Mutual trust and respect my @ss. What they want is for the US to go back being complacent like we were under Obama, to stay quiet while being bent over a barrel by China.

Well, okay. But you're only right if this works. If it stops China from stealing our IP, undercutting us globally, etc.

It has brought them to the table, hasn't it? Why any American would be against Trump making this effort to fight back against China is a mystery. If you can read Chinese, their discussion forums are a mixture of defiance and worry that the US has finally come to its senses and will substantially reduce the amount of free-loading that China has been able to get away with in the past.

Everyone plays Trump and the conman plays Americans for stupid, this is his REALITY TV. Coming to the table is just a time wasting tactic that everyone is deploying. NK came to the table and nothing happened. Canada and MX came to the table and NOTHING HAPPENED. China came to the table and nothing happened. But the conman has passed a tax cuts for the rich. YAY!

Really? We don't have a new NAFTA 2.0?

Tell us how different and/or better it is than the first NAFTA.

We'll wait.

??? You can google for the differences yourself. The PP claimed that nothing happened. The fact that something happened shows that he is either ignorant, or was lying.

You do know that it hasn't actually been ratified yet, right?

(And no, you don't get to claim that it's substantially different without backing up your claim)

Not ratified is very different from "nothing happened". I am not the original person making the claim that nothing happened. The person making that claim has the burden of proof that nothing was changed between the old and new NAFTA agreements, not for me to prove that something was changed. Again, the PP claimed that nothing happened, either he was ignorant of the facts, or was lying. It's up to the PP to provide proof that "nothing happened".

Spoken like an unemployed loser living in a basement who gets his social welfare payment either way. Millions of American workers are going to suffer from these tarrifs.

Yes, but Trump will not be successful at getting China to trade more effectively.

Warning, they are going to to quote you the PPP figure for GDP, not nominal.

To me, the more meaningful figure is GDP per capital, which I don't believe the US has ever been the leader in. What's impressive for the US is that taken as a whole, the country with a large and diverse economy can maintain a fairly high GDP/capita.

Libs should rejoice if Americans end up consuming less landfill garbage from China.

But wait, what??

Everyone loses in a trade war. Even Trump's chief economic adviser knows that.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/12/us/politics/larry-kudlow-trump-trade.html

Larry Kudlow Breaks With Trump, Saying ‘Both Sides Will Pay’ in Trade War With China

President Trump’s chief economic adviser said on Sunday that American consumers would bear a burden from the escalating trade war with China, contradicting Mr. Trump’s claim that his tariffs were a multibillion-dollar, one-way payment by China to the United States Treasury.

The adviser, Larry Kudlow, made his comments two days after negotiations for a trade deal with China broke off and Mr. Trump followed through on a threat to raise tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese exports.

“In fact, both sides will pay,” Mr. Kudlow said in an interview on Fox News. “Both sides will pay in these things.”

Mr. Kudlow’s acknowledgment was merely a recognition of Economics 101. But it flew in the face of one of the president’s favorite arguments: that trade wars are easy to win, and that the pain falls disproportionately on America’s trading partners, which he accuses of having exploited the United States for years through predatory trade practices.

Yea, all else fails, layer on the personal insults. By the way, what do you have against people who receives social welfare payments? Aren't these the kind of people that liberal/Democrats claim to be helping? Those welfare payments serve to help redistribute income and reduce income inequality, right? Get with the program!

Trump is going to subsidize farmers to make up for their trade losses. So US taxpayers will end up paying no matter what.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-10/trump-says-u-s-will-boost-crop-purchases-to-offset-china-losses

President Donald Trump said that the U.S. will boost its purchases of domestic farm products for humanitarian aid in an effort to offset lost demand from China as trade tensions flare between the nations.

Trump said on Twitter on Friday that the U.S. will use its money from the tariffs to buy American agricultural products “in larger amounts than China ever did” and send it to “poor & starving countries” for humanitarian aid. The president indicated potential purchases of $15 billion from farmers. Soybean and grain futures held mostly steady after the announcements, while industry groups opposed Trump’s additional U.S. tariffs on China.
